I keep getting distracted.
 
We're investigating a weird powder used in making potions that might make it blow up, or become "ert" or something. I don't know. Malnar seemed to have it all under control, messing around with his little tools but it was hard to pay attention to all the fancy words he used when the stuff smelled so much like cinnamon. Someone did later tell me the powder can be used in food though so it is edible even if it might have been tampered with. Illiara kept looking at me in warning but I wasn't actually going to reach for it. I might have risked it if there wasn't so much other delicious food around, like the toast Xhokan was eating looked really good but I think mango might be my favourite.
 
Cualli talked to a colourful man in the market about the powder. Prices too good to be true, guy selling it arrived two or three weeks ago and hasn't been seen since. We lied about stock being run out so the guy might show back up again sooner and we can ask even more boring supply related questions. ... I hope he tries to run.
 
Anyway, nothing to do until then.
 
I figured since I'm kind of family with the twins I could show them some basic fighting moves but I didn't need to bother. They're going to be terrifying when they're older and they have so much energy. I don't know how their mother keeps them in check. I wonder what I was like at that age, was I like that, is that why Tariku's hair went grey so quickly? He used to get a lot of headaches and I needed a break too after just 3 hours so once Strands came back I sat on the front steps and meditated for bit, like he used to.
 
Tried to, at least. There seemed to be a lot going on inside. I thought I heard someone crying, then something about petitions and then something about chizire being heartbroken? Maybe it's my turn to give him some advice.
