[formatformatformat] Yesterday evening, after the mage Kumoru had dined with us, read a bit from a textbook of his magical tradition and then left, Kouyo seemed lonely and agitated. I was concerned at the same time I did not think too much of it, as Kouyo has been lonely and distressed for most of the time he has been staying with me.
Perhaps I should have paid better attention to him, though, because this morning he was gone! I must have slept through his entire escape last night. I cannot help but feel dread, as he has only been out in Gaia once before, and that time he was accompanied by me; is he prepared to be on his own, nevermind mentally, but in the basic practical sense? Where will he sleep? What will he eat??? If he has an attack of fear or madness, who will protect him? Will the humans extend sympathy to him or take advantage of his vulnerable state?
I asked all the neighbors I know if they have seen him but have learned nothing so far. I will go into town to ask at the cafe, but I cannot work there nor here until I am sure that he is safe. If he really wishes to live on his own, so be it, but he cannot leave without telling me where he is going! Oh Kouyo, show some concern for your friend. This one is sometimes the crazier of the two of us.[/formatformatformat]

[formatformatformat] Sometimes I think that I have a sad fate.
A boy can pass through any number of years, but he will never be a man until he is someone's husband. And so, though almost thirty, I am still a child, a rootless bachelor in whose heart the first woman is still his mother.
I have already accepted that I will never find my wife, and that does not cause me so much sorrow anymore. But as an aging child, I have little in common with people my own age, and I find it difficult to befriend them. My friends are, instead, all young people; they are the ones whose emotions I understand and who understand my aspirations. But, eventually, inevitably, they marry and become husbands, fathers, mothers, and they realize they have no reason to talk to me anymore.
It seems that everyone will eventually mature and understand things & grasp things for which I myself cannot hope. And now even Kouyo, the High Priest, who perhaps I selfishly wished would remain, like me, a maiden forever, has found a wife and has left my side. They will all eventually go, and I can only watch them leave...
Kouyo has, and someday even little Rika will. It makes me feel sick to think about that.[/formatformatformat]

( Kouyo was not fine after all. I do not want him to go back to the humans... )

 Kumoru, Aodhagan Whitestone ( Kouyo needs help, and so I gave it. I hope, though, that he will not need a father forever. )

( Tenryuu, Tenkyuu, Unsou, Chourou, and their families have suddenly arrived in Gaia. What in the worlds is this? )

( I am happy to be able to chat with Dame Tenkyuu again, but... ... ... it's a little discomforting, how she always seems to know more about you than you know about her. )

Kumoru
( Something happened which I am sure is momentous, but I am not sure what to make of it yet... This could mean a new enemy, or perhaps there is something about Kouyo I do not know... )

[formatformatformat] ( Another portal... and an interesting book on the other side. It is almost amusing, but worry that if that is what they truly believe... then Fuushi's blood may be on my hands. ) [/formatformatformat]
