Well, Ele's okay. She just woke up. Only now I can't sleep, so I came to the study. The guilt has eased a bit though- she doesn't seem to blame me too much. Azrael did help me come up with an idea for tomorrow in the meantime though. I'm nervous- which is stupid. You're just going to class Wren, which you do every day! Stop being stupid. I can see through Azrael's eyes- have I mentioned that yet? I don't know what I ever did without him! He makes s̶n̶o̶p̶i̶n̶g̶ everything so much easier.

Okay- so I went to The Institute with Celrin (so she could get her mechanical arm back) and we both returned, missions accomplished! I sat in class when I sent Azrael to Achen to give him my g̶i̶f̶t̶ thank you note. And obviously my wonderful little furball did a great job! Which also essentially means that I can be in two places at once! .. I wonder if I could send him to Secrix while I stay here and go to class? Maybe I should ask Achen if it would work that far before I try it. I just.... I really don't want to leave yet, but I know the more time that passes are slimming my chances of finding him there and for the love of the valley Wren WHY ARE YOU STILL AGONIZING OVER THIS? Just stay. Everything is fine. Everything is great! You have friends, you have a home, you have a good mentor and a cat! Shut your brain up for once and leave something a mystery.
Eleanora's mom was here when we got back. She's a grade-A bitch if I've ever met one (and I have). I was able to listen to their entire conversation (such a good kitty cat) but the only thing that's worth mentioning is how weird it is that Ele still needs her approval, even though her mother is incredibly condescending, doesn't give her a modicum of respect OR even seem to have her best interest at heart . .. wait. . .
Well anyway, it seems like everything is finally settling down here. We haven't had really anything jarring happen since the siege and Jhin's... Q&A. Thankfully and gratefully, it's getting quiet here.

Post-Script: Ele named her store. "The Elegant Spark". Obviously, she did not ask my input.
