Midnight's Old Journal, 05/11/3541

by Midnight Erebus

Been a while since I made a new entry. Honestly in part it was because of a recent incident that resulted me not being allowed in the house for a few days. My own fault really... mostly. Nilly really didn't need to go as far as she did but she proved her point.
 
See, the Nutcracker family showed up a few days ago as usual and I wanted to brag a little bit about the bram and my new cloak. Nothing that is a big problem on it's own really. Nilly loves it when I give my stories a little flair and I love hearing her's. Apparently she made some new friends over at Regal Claw Valley. A shy kid in particular that she had been trying to make friends with for years. Poor guy apparently almost killed some other kids when he got angry about his sister getting hurt defending him a few years back. His mana awoke pretty fiercely and he actively avoided others his age ever since. It's hard to imagine what that would have been like.
 
I'm getting off track though, this doesn't have anything to do with the incident. See when I told the story about the bram, Nilly got really excited. She asked if she could join me and my father on a hunt before they left. Honestly I made a bit of a fool of myself and laughed at her. Mocked her small stature and that she wouldn't survive five minutes. Needless to say she was not too happy with me and stormed off. I felt a little bad about it even then, but I did also believe she was too small and frail. As young as I am, Ratatoskyn adults such as Nilly's parents are even shorter than me. Nilly herself is only about half my size. They look like easy pray for most monsters and beasts. Truthfully though their caravan manages very well so I should have realized that they had their ways. Nilly ended up searing that fact into my mind.
 
Not long after I had to go to the latrine and Nilly ran in ahead of me. It was a little strange but I was patient and waited. Why would I be concerned? Nothing like this has happened before. When it was my turn to go in however it wasn't long after I sat down that the entire latrine blew up around me, spreading crap everywhere. The smell was the most horrifying thing I ever experience and all I can do is let out a scream as I panicked, looking around before I was faced with a laughing squirrel girl. She had set all of this up in the time she was inside. Obviously she got a bit in trouble for it and has been spending the last couple days cleaning up and helping to rebuild the latrine. As for me? Baths. Lots of them. I don't think the bathkeeper girls will ever look at me the same but they've definitely provided me with some of the best cleansers available. Took a while to get the stench out of everything though.
 
Do have to say, I'm impressed with Nilly's precision and ingenuity. Maybe I SHOULD talk with my dad about taking her along. Do also need to find some way to get her back too though.. nothing major, rebuilding the latrine was mostly punishment enough.
