I'm not here for your entertainment
You don't really want to mess with me tonight
Just stop and take a second
I was fine before you walked into my life

After my Watch, the Fifth of the Month
I will tell what happened when Rosto broke my heart, just to get it out.
"Rosto," I pleaded.
Yes, pleaded, I had pleaded. See this is not all my fault. He is just a dolt who cares for someone else. Not me, he doesn't care for me. He never cared for me. He cared for my stature with the law and my lord.
"Rosto, just give me an explanation. Please," I was crying.
Looking back, it was pitiful that I cried. "The cove that makes you cry isn't worth your tears and the cove that is worth your tears won't make you cry." Ma told me that. She should have followed her own advice. I should have followed her example and never trusted a rusher.
He glared at me, "You don't deserve an explanation."
Maybe that wasn't what happened. Maybe I'm telling the story where I am least at fault. Maybe I like that. Maybe I ought to stop. I think I shall.
I'll give a short explanation that I cannot twist in my favor: Rosto was seeing another mot behind my back and we got into a fight with me ending up slapping him and pushing him down the stairs.
Maybe I should regret doing that, but I don't. They power which it bestowed upon me is phenomenal; I do believe that I have conquered a bit of my accursed shyness. That would be a wonderful thing.
I want to get him back for all the pain he has caused me, but I fear I won't have to. When I went to my watch this evening, Tunstall wasn't there, it was just me and Goodwin.
Logically, I asked her were he was. She kept tight lipped on the matter. I pleaded and begged, but the best answer I could get out of her was that he was neither ill nor wounded.
Then an idea entered my mind and I ventured my next question unsure of whether or not I'd like the answer. "Did he go to find Rosto?"
After much pestering, Goodwin relented and told me, "Yes, he did go after Rosto."
"Well, he won't find him," I told her, "The coward ran away. This morning Aniki told me that he boarded a ship to the Yamani Islands. I'm not sure that I believe her. The mot he was seeing was from Scanra too so I think they went back there."
"You do?" Goodwin asked, looking around the dark alley in which they were walking, "I'll have to tell that to Tunstall when I see him again."
"He doesn't have to do that," I told Goodwin.
"Well, if he didn't, I would. 'Cause, Beka, I know what it's like to have your heart broken."
Now as I write this, I smile to think that I have such good friends.
