Today went... rather badly. I was hoping the tournament would help me de stress from thinking about Wet, and it did at first. Losing myself in the focused combat, feeling the rhythm of the fight was a big help. Honestly I wouln't have terribly minded losing in the match as long as I'd felt we'd performed adequately, but in all honestly I don't think we made good use of it, I'm not sure how well we work in teams of two, and our team co ordination could definetely use a lot of work....
But all that was mostly put out of my mind when I saw Illiara... I don't know what happened exactly, but something happened to her while I was unconscious because she was angrier than I'd ever seen her. I think her Parasol broke? I saw the Teacher hand it to her and she reacted furiously. I am worried about the team. And I'm worried about the kid...
No.
Stop.
If you can act, act. If you cannot act, seek help from those who can. Whining to myself about my concerns is pointless and self indulgent. So I'm done.
Let's focus on what can be done. Find out about Wets situation. Talk to Illiara soon but not right away. She took it badly when the teacher tried to help in the immediate aftermath, so I think she needs a bit of time, But I am gonna ask Malnar to talk to the teacher about keeping the restored Parasol by for Illiara in case she changes her mind.
For the boy, I should talk to Teacher Ot once i have more information from him, find out more about what the community support structure is set up to do, and if any of it can be applied to him.
That is starting to feel better. Everything feels less out of control when you write your plans down.
I think I should pray a little before bed tonight. Just hoping to find some guidance.
