I made steady progress on my current project today. The more I connect to the trees directly like this the closer I am to them and the better I can understand them. It feels like I am opening myself up to my grove in a way. It’s pleasant.

Tiddol said that her potion will be finished tomorrow. Today she finished all the preparation for it, all the refining and setting up all of the equipment and things like that. I hope the potion actually works out with helping my dad.

There was some news from Par today. Apparently, they had a small skirmish with the inhabitants of the city they're sieging. They were trying to break their way through in order to get a caravan inside. It didn’t work out in their favor. Par says they under committed, whatever that means. As a result of this Par got ahold of the caravan and the city lost some soldiers. So far things are looking up.

Tiddol’s human child has grown quite a lot recently. He’s taller than Tiddol was before she evolved now.

Other than that, not a lot happened today. My birthday is fifteen days away, and Tiddol’s is sixteen. I need to figure out a good gift for Tiddol. I can’t think of anything other than what I did last year, and I don’t want to ask people because it is supposed to be a surprise and she might overhear. I need to figure out something though. Sometimes I wish you could talk to me and give me ideas, diary. Not often, but sometimes.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
