Friday
Daniel, Mitchell and Sam returned yesterday after having been stuck on that ungodly planet for negotiations for three solid days. What did I say?! An unreasonable bunch of people. I should have let me handle it, all of it. It would have gone so much quicker.
I felt so sorry for Daniel so I decided to be very helpful in the translations of the tablets he had brought back with him. I was extremely invaluable, I could see that he really wanted to say it, but decided not to on account of me already knowing that he finds me invaluable. I assisted him all day today sharpening his pens, fetching paper, corrected his spelling and just offering my companionship. He has a tendency to bury himself under work and he needs someone to remind him that there is a world beyond those four walls.
Also, I always have intelligent questions that really give him pause at times. It's not really easy to follow my speedy train of thought, I admit, but Daniel is smart. It may take him a while, but he always gets it. Most of the time, at least. Some may think he is slow, but he will deceive you.
He finally thanked me for my help and thought it best that I be on my merry way. I realised that he was tired so I thought it best to, well, let him rest for a while.
But it's been a while now. I should probably go check to see that he has eaten. Completely lost without me, didn't I tell you?!
