Arcane Destiny Pt. 3

Rhune Astherion sat on his large stuffed chair with his daughters Lamorra and Lakorra snuggled sleeping on either side of him. Rhune was dressed in his finest green and black tunic and black leggings, while his daugters were both dressed in fine green silk dresses to match. Lamorra had a cat sleeping on her lap while Lakorra held a stuffed Talbuk doll close to her chest. Both were snoring lightly.

Rhune savored the peaceful moment. Then he reached slowly and carefully to the adjacent table so as not to disturb the girl's sleep and picked up his journal. Rhune hushed the cat when it gave forth a "meow" at being disturbed and it quickly quieted and cuddled closer to Lakorra. Reaching over he repeated the process for his inkpot and quill and began to write:

March 29th, 28th year after the Dark Portal:

Today we celebrated St. Patorick's Day. We opted not to attend the Retribution party and instead we stayed home with the girls. Spend all day with drunken soldiers making fools of themselves or spend quality time with the daughters I haven't seen in two months? Wasn't much to think about really.

I bought them the most lovely green silk dresses so they could honor St. Patorick in style. Their eyes lit up so big when they saw them... it may be hard to make them wear anything else. Certainly the most we've ever spent on a single dress for them to date. I then told them the story of St. Patorick for the first time and they seemed to enjoy that as well.

Lamorra and Lakorra told us a story too. A most amusing tale about an imaginary adventure they had when they and Ruby went to go find Rin's cat Jitters. They have the most active imagination. I couldn't help being proud as they told their story. It was so adorable.

I think they're favorite part of the day however was when played "Hunt for the Leprechaun's Treasure". I bought some chochalate's shaped as coins wraped in gold wrappings. We hid them throughout the house though never anywhere that was too difficult. I think the whole neighborhood must have heard each time a new "coin" was found as the girls squeeled each time they discovered another one.

It was a good day. I think we all really needed it. Rin still seems sad and distant from her ordeal though. I hope today helped her. I continue to keep an eye on her but I think she still needs more time.
