Following the brief trip to the Isle of Thanta a second time, we are an entire day behind the schedule as we sail now across Thassa to the port of Kar. My own sea-sickness has been somewhat curtailed, due to a tea remedy given me by the Lady Asia. Yet there is another sickness that still lingers.. I fear I shall never find a remedy for.
It is the second day into our voyage and all I can do is gaze behind across the watery horizon with numerous troubles that cloud my mind. I have done my best thus far to remain in good spirits when Marius is around, lest I tempt him to shackle me down below in the galley for the duration of the trip.
First and foremost upon my mind, is Capriel. I wonder if she still thinks of me, as I think of her. Secondly, there is a nagging guilt regarding another girl, whose name I don't know. She is one of many slaves that I had assumed belong to the Lady Slaver, Asia. Yet I have since learned differently, that the girl actually belongs to another. The girl has been put beneath the duress of a heavy punishment for an infraction, that I later discovered I had partaken in. Yet still, overhead looms the very real possiblity that she is to be sold for her.. indiscretions, and I am beside myself with grief over this.
If only there were a remedy for all that plagues me of late.
I fear, for the sake of Marius, that I shall become an incurable thorn in his side.
