12th day of Fuontei
Entry Twenty
We've left the Roost, along with Safiya, and Trevor of course, is with us. It is unknown when the Traveler will return for him, or what other powers might wish to take him away. I feel bad for leaving Indigo again, especially after things had begun to look peaceful and she was happy, but it was necessary. Besides, Cricket actually asked me to go as opposed to running out on us in the night. How could I say no to that? Safiya is free now to do as she chooses, but she decided to come with us. Cricket is nervous about that, afraid the girl might try something.. but I doubt it. She is drawn to us, loyal to us.. as much as she can allow herself to be. Like the slaves of war that joined our tribe, it only takes time for her spirit to change. Then I will teach her to defend herself, if she wishes. I must miss my work, volunteering that sort of thing.. but it is something to pass the time. That, and setting a bad example for Trevor. With Cricket and I to guide him, the gods only know what kind of temper he'll have.. but on the same note, I hope that we can teach him when and when not to use it for his good.. just as Ahkil has taught me, to some extend. Not that I was always listening. Gods, the durriyya is growing so fast. Soon he'll be crawling and walking on his own, I should think. Then I wonder what kind of trouble we'll have on our hands. Safiya is working on my book again, I suspect she's having trouble with it.. I don't believe she understands it. If she could, why the hell would she be reading it? The girl doesn't look like the kind interested in the art of war, but then again.. I could be wrong. I might have to test her on it, as Ahkil used to do for me. I doubt she'll respond kindly to it.. but her arguing over it would mean all the right answers to me. She's already proven her adeptness towards bsaala. That girl can nag when she has a mind to. Already she demands this and that from the market. And I might as well appease her.. she makes meals that seem to remind me of my past. Strange that a taste can bring back pictures not quite vivid, but there.. beyond the surface. I think I'll find Cricket now, drag her along with me on Safiya's errands. Ta'kienta.
