Ingred's Journal Entry 3: A Close Call

The pages are stained with hints of some unknown blue beverage, the neat goblin font blurred slightly where the droplets spread and dried.

Lily:
...Huh. Lily is pretty decent in the field. Desert, or what have you... I won't lie it was pretty horrifying seeing that prophet lady just. hit her upside the head with that staff. Makes me wonder how many times she's had to... practice that. I feel bad for the poor folks who've had to be hit more than once. I wish it was me who went first, then I wouldn't have to see that. how barbaric.

Lily seemed very relieved when the fight was over. well, we all were... I won't deny that. I am very interested in meeting this father of hers, the one that brews that odd concoction. And that one who gardens. Or are they the same person? I am a bit confused. I'll have to ask her to clarify that sometime.

I am a bit... uneasy. She is a magic caster, but... she is also my acquaintance now. I... I need to swallow my pride, I think. I'm not sure. However, now that K's problem has been resolved I think it would be beneficial to look into her weird back-dog. fucking magic, I swear.... it's so strange.

Seipora:
I don't think that looking at plants with Mixy and I cheered her up at all. Last night she seemed to have taken a total 180 and was disturbingly happy. I didn't believe that facade for one second. I even went to try and talk to her about it but... I don't know. She seems difficult to talk to sincerely. Not sure why she chose to room with me but I don't mind. She can talk if she wants to, I'm not about to force anything out of her.

She must be relieved to have K back, safe and sound. I still don't really approve of relationships between coworkers... but it's none of my business who she decides to sleep with. or confide in. She's her own woman who can decide what she needs on her own. And if it's K that she needs, well... so be it. As long as she's happy. I just hope it doesn't cause issues later on.

Mixy:
Uhhhhh oops. I... didn't think she would get so offended about eating that plant. How embarrassing..! I don't know I thought that perhaps she was the best to ask because of her odd magic... I just assumed that... She wouldn't mind getting poisoned. For the sake of knowledge. Whatever, it was a stupid thing to ask. At least she's forgiven me. Although now I am curious as to the composition of those berries... and why they are so filling. And if they are even considered a balanced diet. And if those are all she's been eating... oh the poor gal must have awful bowel movements, if any at all... my mind is going to be wracked about this for a while... damn it all...

Anthos...Anthozriel..?:
I... I am intimidated by this man. His abilities are, in all honesty, scary. I'm not sure what in Jonsen's green grass that was... what he did before we entered K's weird brain-zone, I mean. I don't know how I'm going to get used to this...I... I can't show him weakness. I won't. He seems relatively trustworthy, but... and I'm not... scared of him, per say just... what he's capable of. His magic, his lack of hesitation... He was ready to end K then and there... Not that I don't understand the reasoning behind it, but... I... I don't know. I don't know. I was never taught to understand this.

K:
Good old K... I am... glad he is safe. Still not super happy about owing a debt to a sphinx but at least it wasn't all for nothing! I'm happy for him. Super weirded out but... happy. Also maybe reevaluating my opinion about... gods... and such... wow there is a lot to digest after this. What a culture shock.

He's not filled with sand anymore. which is good, it was starting to make me think too much. Like... it is not physically possible for a man to leak sand like that. Until now... I suppose... I'll just blame it on magic, that one! What do I do... It's going to haunt me as long as I'm with this group. Just my luck to be tossed into a party with ONLY magic casters. ... At least K is genuine, as far as I can tell. He's good.
