Marius and I set sail again for the mainland with the rest of the Theatre Troupe. We are scheduled to play several of the major cities along the Delta and the Vosk before the season's end and expected to be gone just over a month.
Before departing I had asked Asia whether she would travel to meet us, and whether she would also bring Jade along. For I knew I would miss them both. Asia assured me that she would come, and with this hope inside of me, I believed I should not succumb to utter homesickness afterall.
It was not til the last leg of this tour however,that I had begun to despair, for by the time we reached Port Kar again, there was still no sign of the lady or her kajira and I was heartsick.
