Marcus — EP15 Journal

Let me just hold her gaze for a while. I love you so much. I never done this before. So I did prepare a few words. Bear with me if I falter a bit. I remember when I first came to Juramentum just a few months ago. I remember how afraid I was for what was in store for me and mi kin. I remember thinking that I was so uncertain about the reception we were going to get from everyone here. A bunch of bedraggled strangers coming into your midst. Would you accept us? Would you not? I remember feeling the weight of the gift that Quaalithorn himself had placed upon my shoulders. And feeling that I was inadequate for the task ahead of me. I don't feel that anymore. I started remembering the words. The entire city was with me in those days, within my care. I remember feeling the fear dissolve between platters of food, warm, honest compassion and lively dancing the day we arrived.
