Entry 24 – October 29, 2012
I think today was a success. Today made up for yesterday's (slight) disappointment. That fog must have been too much for the creature, but that's okay. I really shouldn't have gone out there either. It rained a lot today. The weather has just been horrendous this week. In fact, it is still raining at time of writing. During the day, it was pouring. I decided I didn't really need to go out if it was raining that hard. Luckily, the rain calmed before sunset. When I finally went outside, it was only lightly raining. I put on the hood of my jacket (feeling pretty cool in the process) and plopped through the mud to get to my tree-house. I climbed up and waited. I sat down on the floor, leaned up against the side of the doorway to the balcony. In about ten minutes, I started to hear the trees shake. The creature came back. I was so happy that it was there. I greeted it and told it that I was glad it was back. It greeted me back, sounding happy to see me as well. I mentioned how foggy it was yesterday and how it was almost too much for me to handle. I heard the creature sound sad. Did it know I waited for it last night just by saying the fog was too much for me? That's what it sounded like to me. A bit of a pause went by. I decided I would just go ahead and ask the creature about day visits. I was nervous asking. I started to ask if it remembered the time I went over to its daytime spot. I heard a medium pitched sound. I guessed that it remembered. This is what I said to the creature (or something along the lines of): "The only reason I went over there to where you were is because I wanted to see what you looked like. I just recently found out you had wings because the tree limb accident. I wanted to ask you if we could meet like this during the day. I've been meaning to ask this for a while, but never really had the courage to. So, what do you think?" There was a long silence. I was really getting worried now. I couldn't even imagine what it could be thinking at this moment. Was it shocked to hear this? Did it not like this idea? Is it going to avoid me now? The questions were endless. After the brutal pause, I heard a noise that stopped the questions in my head. The creature sounded glad at this suggestion. I felt like I was weightless at this moment. So much pressure was now gone. I then said: "We don't have to meet immediately, maybe sometime in the next few days." I thought it would be a good idea to give me and the creature some time to prepare for a daytime visit. I'm really excited now. All this pursuing is now going to pay off here soon. Even if we only meet for a few minutes, that would be more than fine with me. I just hope seeing the creature doesn't change my mind about learning more about it. As said before, today was a success. I'm just so happy how well things turned out. I will now go to bed a champion once again.
