bladegryphon: I'm back with another chapter!
Sap: Whoop-de-doo. Why can't you drag along any of your other four muses to do this job?
bladegryphon: Because you're the easiest to push around, even it you act like Satan's long-lost twin.
Sap: Grr.
bladegryphon: *checks e-mail* Nine reviews already? And no flames either?! Wow! Let's answer them!
Sap: Do I have to?
bladegryphon: Yep.
Kevin C: I agree, I had fun with days 9 and 14. He's an idiot all right, but this will keep going as fast as I can keep cranking out chapters!
Aurora13987: I'll try! My writing style tends to be a bit shorter, but I agree with you completely. I admit to slacking off on days 4-13, but that's when they're traveling for 10 days. I didn't feel like doing full- length entries there, but I didn't want to just skip the whole ten days.
Millennium Slinky: Hee hee hee! I just couldn't resist making those little comments.
Cathy Barton: Hyperness is good! Glad you found it so funny. *worships you* Can't wait for chapter 3 of can't complain!
Dragon's Destiny2k2: Your spelling and grammar skills are amazing compared to many of those in my English class. Thanks for the review!
Lord-Pisces: I'm off to read your story right now. Ooh, I KNEW I should have ordered Sain as a muse earlier... Oh well. Maybe I'll just grab Florina, Nino or Hector.
Seraphina2: Hey, it's you again! I agree with the spitefulness, but it can sometimes make the jokes even funnier.
khmerboi919, Harunohi: Thanks!
bladegryphon: Here's an extra thing about Lord-Pisces' review. The Diary of Erk by Ivanfanatic happens to be one of my favorite stories. It's true that I got the idea to do a diary from that, but I don't intend to copy any events intentionally. I hope that clears things up a bit.
Sap: Hey, you only wrote three day's worth this time!
bladegryphon: They're all longer than before, and I'm running low on jokes right now. So sue me (actually, please don't. It's just a figure of speech). And now, another peek into Sain's life -- this time with Erk and Serra!

Day 15 * Weather: cold, clear, and cold. Did I mention cold?
It's just after sunset, and there's not a willing girl in sight to share the view with. Life is far too cruel sometimes. We're in a ruined building right now, and everyone else is chatting with Dorcas (the new recruit) and his wife Natalie. Well, everyone but Kent. I offered to stand guard to let everybody else rest, but nooooooooooooo, none of the girls trust me on my own. They just had to send Mr. Rod-up-his-ass to "help". I'm currently plotting revenge. Heh, next time the ladies take a bath...
Am I starting to get a nosebleed just thinking about that? Kent's looking at me strangely. Or maybe it's just the "diary" thing again. If he keeps looking at me like that, he will soon know the fury of a small book hurtling through the air. Maybe an ink bottle too... heh heh heh.
All the stupid cracks in the wall (and the lack of roof in several areas) are going to make this a really --- cold night. How can Lyndis stay warm with a skirt like that on?
Ow! Keeeeeeeeeent... He says it's because the plains of Sacae are warm during the day and cold at night, so she's used to it. Damn. I wanted to offer to snuggle with her.
Laura's really short-tempered today. She's probably just PMSing. Either that, or Wil's not letting her get any of the pasta (yes, he made it again. I'm surprised we haven't all drowned in drool yet) until everyone else has served themselves. I want some too!
*
Day 16 * Weather: not too bad, but still a bit chilly for my liking
The idiot brigand we faced today certainly lives up to his name: he "Bug"s everyone by just being there. At least our new pyromaniac got to take out some of his anger today before Kent killed him. Second time he's killed the leader, too. Grr.
Aside from that, the whole camp smells like smoke... no thanks to our two new recruits. There's Erk, the temperamental pyromaniac anima mage I mentioned earlier. And then there's the... other one. Yep, another siren. She's pretty, gorgeous, dresses nicely, and has possibly the most annoying personality you'll ever find. Specifically, Serra: the "frail" priestess of Elimine.
Actually, this could get pretty funny. Here's the current conversation:
Erk: Serra, you're so... irksome...
Serra: I KNOW! Isn't it wonderful? *deathhugs Erk*
Erk: *eyebrow twitches* Argh!
Ooookay, Serra just ran by with one pigtail black and smoking, screaming at the top of her lungs at Erk. I don't really blame him if it's his fault again (I wasn't looking), but he made Serra almost burst my eardrums. Besides, it's his fault about the bad word choice.
He needs anger management classes too. Maybe I could enroll him at the same time as Kent, or even just get him a girlfriend. That cheers any man (except Kent) up! The trick is to find a girl willing to put up with his temper... but there isn't a woman in Elibe that Sain can't tame! I'll charm someone for him, and then I'll charm Serra and make her my lady! And-
Ow. Well, at least we know the world's safe. Kent just hit me again. I'll explain later, Laura's yelling for me to actually do the night watch instead of slacking off. I have the ability to take my work seriously, you know!
Note to self: If Serra rejects me, set her up with Erk.

Day 17 * Weather: Can't really tell, don't care. It was sunny earlier.
Current location: Hiding from Laura. Apparently, she read the entry from two days ago during today's battle (where we got MORE new recruits) and is about ready to kill me for the "PMSing" and "drowning in drool" comments. So that's why I'm sitting in a really uncomfortable tree right now. I thought I hid this little book better... then again, it's probably Matthew's fault. If I die, it's his fault.
My chances with Serra, or any other woman I meet, are temporarily ruined. Ruined! And it's all thanks to a silent nomad. Yep, every single girl in Rath's presence will be lusting after him. I can guarantee it. Of course, Kent says it's better they go after him than me.
GAH! MATTHEW! He just climbed the tree I'm hiding in! Knocked him out in one hit before he could yell for our "favorite" tactician. For once, I'm more useful than Kent would be (he's not as strong as I am)! Score! No hard feelings, Matthew, but I really want to live to see tomorrow. Now, to go find a new hiding place, preferably a more comfortable one...
