Grandpa comes back, and I bug Sydel

So I was just wandering around the tower after telling Anja a few stories and putting her to bed and then I went up to see Gia. She and I were going to go down for a snack but she naturally had to fix her hair, being a girl and all. So I went down alone and my grandmother popped in the door. Des coming around is nothing new since she kinda lives around the tower.

But the man behind her was more of a surprise. It was my grandfather Garan. He seemed a great deal more agreeable than he had when I was younger. I hadnt seen him since I was very small though, and even now he's quite large so maybe the size just made him extra scary, I'm not sure. In any event the three of us talked for a while and I introduced him to Gia. He's going to get Harian to help us find my mom, and I think Grandma was as happy at that prostect as she was at her husband being back. She's missed mom more than I have I think. Not that I haven't...

So Gia and I fell asleep on the couch together and when I woke she was already off with Anja so I figured I'd go explore. I met Sydel in the forrests and followed her back to her cave. It looked like she'd slaughtered a ton of people, but it turns out that was Bret's doing. He'd overturned her cauldron and attacked her in a bid to kill her, but clearly he failed. Never the less Sydel is terrible mad, and frankly I'm impressed with the little thief for causing so much trouble.

Sydel isn't though. She wants to kill him and wont even have me speak his name. I'm just staying out of that whole mess. Sydel and I talked for a while about Gia and other stuff, and I noticed her Khaiton cloak thing is really cuddly. It seems to be semi sentient and made to caress the skin of any touching it. I really want one!
