3rd day of the Third Hand of the Month of Se'Var (10) in the Year 10,157 CA


I stopped at the Storm Schendi Inn last night, with Torrin Vesper and Nduli, my faithful guards. As usual, the good food and drink brought in loads of people taking off from work such as myself, and it made for good company and conversation. I met three women. A scribe named Lady Jessenia, an apprentice Physician named Shay, and a mother named Karmi. It seemed the main conversations centered around their companionships and children. Oh, and pregnancy. Some of the odd quirks of women came out in that conversation, and it only grew more interesting when Lady India showed up with her son LJ, short for Lukas Jase. It seems many parents give the names of people who actually exist in order to honor them, as well as nicknames for each other that don't always fit the formality I express in day to day conversation. It was somewhat frustrating to feel included in the group dynamics, when everyone seemed to know each other. I plan on doing business with Lady Shay and her brother, Marc Dawntreader, to help supply their mobile units with herbal medicinals. I am also checking into houses, as to whether their spice needs are being met. It would be good to become the supplier to the finest houses in Schendi, now wouldn't it? I must get with Camarius and discuss with him our inventory of herbs, as to whether we carry the full amount of what the physicians needs are. Until then, I wait for my guest to arrive in the city, so I can go over the signature fragrance that she desires.
