Never a break Session 23

by Cualli Yaotl

We didn't even make it a day out of those tunnels before we had to fight again. Honestly I don't think I did very well when the gryphons attacked, I was still a little hungover. Gods if my father read that... coming off the tunnels though it didn't feel great having to bleed for the school again so quickly, but it really helped that Teacher Ot was fighting too, if he hadn't been there I'd probably have been more frustrated.
 
Speaking of frustrated...Illiara isn't doing well. Or at the very least she is losing faith in the Magambyaa, which I found...very sad. I feel like my own commitment to the Magambyaa is more solid now after what I've been through for it, or at least it feels more mine. There is no reason Illiara should have to feel the same way though and there is no reason for me to get involved...... Except that if I don't do or say anything, then I'm giving my school permission to harmfully fail an incredibly bright student. I don't know if anything is going to happen, but I am going to talk to Teacher Ot about these problems when he can see me. Teacher Ulawa... well the only thing I have to say to her is that she shouldn't be a teacher, and She is unworthy of our respect, but maybe even that is worth saying? I can't forget how dismissive she was when we were risking our lives. I don't know if confronting teachers will achieve anything but if I know someone is hurting and I stay quiet, then that hurt happened with my consent. So I guess that settles it.
 
Getting meetings with teachers might take a while though, so in the meantime I wanna try and find out who just endangered the entire city by bringing starving gryphons here, and my money is on that same roving market dealing in the chickens. Luckily, I do have a contact over there, so I should be able to track some people down.
 
Seems like there's never a break, and I haven't even gotten into all the rebuilding work. I'm not sure when I'll find time to squeeze in that first fight I agreed to with Ruin. So strange how often I'm fighting and miserable but that I'm looking forward to that more than any other single thing right now. Maybe I just want to work out the tension safely, or maybe I just really want to spend time with her again. She's really been there for me whenever I've been stuck in my head, and honestly I'm not sure she even realizes how much she's helped. I wanna find some time to thank her, and maybe ask her more about herself after the fight.
