Last Seed 10th, 582
Well, the attempts at making the Harborage a little more like home have been going about as well as they could have.
The Prophet doesn't seem to mind my efforts, even welcomes some of them. Though he doesn't strike me as a man that needs luxury, he did seem appreciative that I have cultivated private spaces for us both - and a third for Lyris, (presuming our rescue attempt will be successful). Which relieves me, I am not overly fond of people who are humble to the detriment of themselves.
Now, getting furnishing and other supply to this place without causing too much of a stir is delicate work - but, thankfully, my charms have worked well enough. A finer use for my gift of speech, I think.
It is not quite home. But it will do.
That being said - its not home. And for all the grief my mother caused me, there is a part of me that wishes I could be home in Summerset right now, waking up in my bed, taking solace on its beaches. Visiting Alinor for a day, tea with the Rosesong's. Studying with Tan're.
I do not miss my mother, but I would be a fool and a liar to say I do not miss home otherwise.
I have gotten Tan're's return letter. All is as well as it could be, or it was when she wrote to me. I still worry, of course. I don't think I will be able to stop worrying.
We continue to plan Lyris' rescue. Rather, the Prophet continues to. I have occasionally offered my insight when asked - but there is little I could tell him that he did not also experience. And I haven't the foggiest notion of how to find someone in a daedric realm - that is not my area of expertise. I wish I could be of more use, but. My time to be useful will be soon enough, I imagine.
I pray with all my heart that I do not have to be more than an occasional errand girl or heavy hitter. I care little for what the scrolls have said. They can be malleable. Divination is often fickle, unpredictable. A decision as simple as if I took coffee or tea with breakfast can change a whole course. My simplest actions can have a great impact, and there needn't be more than that.
I will repay kindness granted. But I am not a hero.
