My shoulder is no better, but no worse. As long as I have Borus to assist me with my armor in the morning, I can still patrol. I just hope any work I have to do as part of it doesn't strain the injury, or reveal that I should still be resting. I don't want to rest any longer. I need to be useful.

Letter to Borus, dated August 21, IS482
Aug. 24th, 2009 12:30 amDear Borus,
Forgive my absence and the delay in getting back. I had to wait for the field physician to return to Brass Castle and have a look at my shoulder, and in the meantime, I've gotten caught up in regular duty. The second opinion is the same as the first I got at the castle - that it needs slow and gradual exercise to return to normal. I suppose I shall simply have to accept that.
If all goes well, I should be returning to Budehuc shortly. There is work to be done here, primarily supervision and routine activity, so it isn't as though I am either bored or overworked. I wish to get back there, though, and resume my assigned duty protecting the castle. I think it may be time. Now, if only I could get these lazy louts to understand what they ought to be doing, so I can leave!
I pray every day that nothing untoward has happened to Budehuc while I've been away. I'm sure that if it did, you and Lady Chris would have ridden here for reinforcements right away, or at the very least sent word. So, I go about my business with the full confidence that you're taking good care of the place. I aim to wrap this up soon, so long as no one needs any more Council errands run in Vinay del Zexay.
Enjoy your time with your lady, my friend.
Yours,
Percival Fraulein

( It will be better if you simply relax as best you can. )
I have received a note that was supposedly delivered to my room while I was asleep a day or two ago. It seems Barts decided he was needed more back in Iksay than here. A pity. I enjoyed having my old friend around again, like during the war. I was looking forward to catching up with him, once I was out of the infirmary.
I hope someone is able to tend the garden he planted. It would be a shame for it to be wasted.
I suppose I shouldn't be sad since he is only a half-day's ride away, and I can visit him (and my mother) in Iksay anytime, but still. I am. Perhaps because of the feeling of losing my friends. At least I still have Borus.
And Seed. Persistent and energetic though he is, he has become a good friend. I'm glad he returned to Budehuc. I shall have to ask him how his journey went, when we get together for dinner.
My shoulder is in terrible shape. I should not fool myself into thinking it will be a swift and easy recovery.

A Note for Borus
Jul. 6th, 2009 12:36 pm[this note is left on Borus' pillow, while Percival is passed out asleep in their room]
Borus,
I'm sorry I missed your birthday. I don't think they would let me have a drink anyway. We will find some way of celebrating, though. Perhaps in private, since I still don't feel up to doing much walking around.
Best wishes,
your friend,
Percival

Time for private thoughts
Apr. 23rd, 2009 08:11 pmOh blessed spring...the daffodils and tulips are open full, the lilacs and apple trees are budding, and new leaves are bursting all over the forest. It's such a relief, to see that the Sun Rune did not permanently damage this land. I think, only the early flowers, like crocuses, were harmed, but they come back every spring regardless, even when they poke up too early out of the snow.

It must have been random. That's all. Some...entirely stray image in my head, brought on by the fatigue or illness or something. I'll make sure to knock off earlier tonight and get a better night's sleep. There's simply no reason for me to be having those kinds of dreams right now.
