Written while in the infirmary
I shall have to keep this short. Sitting up in order to write is a bit of a strain, still.
It has been nearly week since I was injured. I must have been out for two or three days, thanks to the amount of blood lost. Being slashed to ribbons means I have sore points on all sides, about all I can do is lie on my back and stare at the ceiling.
I have received far too much in the way of bad news since I woke up. Queen's children...succumbed to their illness. It is tragic. Though, it wasn't until everyone had left and the lamps were doused in here that I felt it safe to weep for her loss. There are still some things in this world which cannot be prevented...tragic illness is one. All we can do is offer our tears and carry on.
And then...I don't know. I seem to have hurt Kathy more by protecting her than anything. I have offended her and I don't know why. I fear she doesn't want to speak to me any longer. No matter how much I insist it wasn't her fault, she seems to want to take the blame. But it's Yuber we're talking about - he needs no real reason to cause harm. He simply does what he wants to whomever he wants, regardless of whether they can fight back or not.
I pray Borus doesn't go after him. Only Lady Chris has the power to actually face him, so much more with the rest of us behind her. This is one case in which the authority of the castle or the guard, or the Zexen Knights, means nothing. Yuber will not stop just because we apprehend him or even fight him into submission. We only have to hope and pray that his blood-thirst wanes and he finds other ways of occupying himself.
It will be a few days more before I can leave the infirmary and care for myself on my own. I fear the rehabilitation for my left arm will take longer. He got me right in the flesh of the joint, those muscles will be damaged and sore for some time. It is a good thing Zukunft is a one-handed blade or I would be defenseless until I could strengthen the muscles back to normal. I wish people would cease casting runes for me, it's useless now. They saved me initially, but now that I'm bandaged and being treated, they are only wasting rune magic. Pity, I know they mean well, but really.
I'm afraid I have lost another friend in Kathy. The last one I wanted to lose...the one I have tried to protect by not getting involved. Curse fate in all its forms, why can't decisions be easier to make?
Alas. This is tiring work, writing all this down. There isn't much else to say for now, I will simply have to stew on these thoughts and hope they don't keep me awake all night.
Dear Goddess, I hope no one has run to tell my mother...
