This morning Tiddol’s parents showed up. Seeing how short they were kind of shocked me, I had forgotten that Tiddol was born a Gnome. They seemed a little freaked out about everything, Tiddol was saying that it is due to culture shock, which she had to explain to me. They are from halfway around the world, their culture doesn’t resemble ours in the slightest. They were also very obviously uncomfortable around Par, they kept glancing at his sword and shying away from him. On the other hand, they were very friendly with Mest, which makes sense because they have met before. Thes was nowhere to be found.

When they were introduced to me they asked me about my various projects, and even asked me to show a couple of them off, I obliged them. Tiddol has been telling them about me it seems. As for their impression of me, the father was obviously impressed with me, while the mother was a bit cautious.

They are doting grandparents, or at least if a couple of minutes is enough to prove anything. Ednar looked a little concerned about being held by his grampa and grandma, but quickly got used to it, while Umi was constantly struggling to get free so she can try to run around

Meeting with them didn’t take that much time, so I was still left with plenty of time to work on refining. I managed to get up to running my spells thirty at a time.

In the evening I saw Umi chasing her grandfather around the grove. He was making a faux effort to keep away from her, only to let her catch him every once in a while. When she did catch him she would fall over laughing and the game would restart. It was adorable. It seems Umi is going to grow up big and strong. I wonder when she will be able to talk? I know Ednar is being taught by Lulem and Kaire, as they have at least one way to communicate, but Umi doesn’t have that advantage.

Other than that, not a lot happened.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
