17th of Evening Star 428 3E
The winter season with its beautiful and abundant snow continues as we draw closer to the New Life holiday. This one certainly feels different as we await the birth of our twins. Truly everything brings them to mind, and not just because I now look very pregnant. This morning while we were having breakfast we found ourselves frequently looking across the table at the vacant chairs. A time will come when the twins will be sitting in them. Not immediately of course. For a while they will be infants, then eventually become toddlers. At that point they will be given their meals in high chairs.
With the snow getting so deep, it's become more difficult for Oliver to pull our cart, so for the rest of winter we have another form of transportation; a festive sleigh. Oliver is likely pleased about this since the sleigh is designed to be pulled by a pair of horses rather than one small donkey. Garland and Gloria are not quite as pleased about this new arrangement, but haven't protested when placed in harnesses and hitched to the front of the sleigh.
We've been traveling by sleigh into town quite a bit in the evenings in order to attend the New Life themed plays and concerts that are going on at the theater. This evening we saw a show called A New Life Carol, which is based on an old story that was written in the Second Era. It's about a grouchy miser who is visited on New Life Eve by three ghosts (four if you count the ghost of his business partner). It really was a wonderful show, with the theater company keeping very close to the original story.
The only part that was annoying was at the very end when the actors came out on the stage to take a bow. Gilvoth and Neloth had attended the show, seated in a private box high about the "commoner audience". Apparently the grouches disliked the way the play ended, with the miser changing his ways and becoming kind and generous.
While everyone else in the theater was applauding, Neloth was yelling, "This is ridiculous! He was fine the way he was! Now the ghosts have driven him mad and made him think that he has to give his money away to useless free-loaders!"
Gilvoth threw in, "Someone should have smacked Tiny Timothy with his own crutch! That kid was annoying with all his, 'May the Nine Bless us all, everyone one'!"
Had the show not already been over I'm sure security would have thrown them out. Nonetheless, their behavior was beyond rude. The theater company worked hard putting this show together and didn't deserve to be harassed just because our local grouches didn't like the way the story ended.
Next week the theater is putting on a ballet, with the story featuring a magical wooden nutcracker coming to life. Hopefully the grouches won't attend that one.
Instead of making fools of themselves at the theater, perhaps Neloth and Gilvoth should use their energy to rein in their favorite employee who continues to throw his weight around town and use his manipulative werewolf howl to make his victims think that they WANT Godonir to beat them up. That was what happened to poor RiData this afternoon.
After being swatted around for a couple of minutes, RiData was left bruised but not permanently injured by the most recent encounter with Godonir Black Claw. "RiData knows he should be angry about being tormented in that way, but RiData just cannot harbor any ill will to the Feral. RiData finds it a bizarre feeling to say the least."
Poor RiData. Of course Gilvoth and Neloth will never even attempt to put a stop to Godonir's behavior because in their minds he isn't doing anything wrong. As long as Godonir continues to find and bring them whatever components they need for their magical experiments, they will practically think that the sun rises and sets on their prize werewolf.
One thing I am thankful for is that Godonir has never ever attempted to use his manipulative howl on me, or on Neldor for that matter. And except for the night that the Breton burglar showed up here, Godonir has been staying our way, leaving me in peace with my pregnancy. At times it almost seems like the mer has some ethics. Almost.
Anyway, enough of that. Now before closing this entry and heading to bed I have some good news. Alandis gave birth this afternoon. She and Basnik are now parents of a lively little boy named Ladrelas. New Life came early for them this year.
Congratulations to the new family of three.
