...My goodness, there's nothing like keeping busy to help a person keep from worrying. And to make a person forget to write in her journal, too. I'm glad I've finally made a list of it all, though; it'd be much harder to keep up with everything if I didn't have it all written down someplace. I do hope I'm not forgetting anything, though!

It's better to keep busy. If I'm not--well, no, I don't know when I'm going home, honestly. Not anymore. Though it seems as though some people can tell when they're about to be taken home, and I'd really thought--I don't know. But if it's true that time doesn't pass while I'm gone...then it's all right, if I don't leave here just yet, isn't it? Everything happens for a reason, Daddy would say. Every cloud has a silver lining. It's only right that I make the best of it.

Mm, it's nice to see that I haven't completely forgotten how to play Greensleeves, though. Still...perhaps I ought to branch out a little, and try learning something new instead. After all, just because I'll never get tired of it doesn't mean everyone else around me won't, either.

I know you would. I'd probably be a lot more calm about it than you. Okay, maybe not a lot...

So, you're going to compete in the tournament?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

...Mmhmm, I told Caspian I'd give the archery competition a try. And he said there'd likely be festivities after the games, so if, er, you and Mikaela wanted to come...

[not-so-smooth.livejournal.com]

I was, ummm... maybe going to enter the jousting tournament.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Were you really?! Oh, you should, you should, it'd be so much fun!

[not-so-smooth.livejournal.com]

Well, someone's gotta come in last, right?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

You'll do just fine, silly. You've been practicing for quite some time now, haven't you?

[not-so-smooth.livejournal.com]

A few weeks, yeah. But there will be people that like, have been doing this their whole life.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Well, yes, there's that. But there might also be people who are trying it just for fun, the way that you are.

[not-so-smooth.livejournal.com]

You think? I mean, it's not something most people know how to casually do.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Anything's possible, I suppose? There's really no way of knowing until the tournament comes around, either way.

[not-so-smooth.livejournal.com]

It hurts to get hit.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Have you been wearing armor?

[not-so-smooth.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's partially what hurts.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

And what's the other part?

[not-so-smooth.livejournal.com]

Getting hit with a long, wooden stick.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

...I suppose that's rather the incentive to hit your opponent first, yes.

[not-so-smooth.livejournal.com]

That's a great plan, if the other person is anywhere near your skill level.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Well, I think you should enter, and then if you change your mind, you can always withdraw. But it's really up to you, whatever you think is best.

[not-so-smooth.livejournal.com]

No way am I withdrawing if I enter.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

...Would you like me to find some armor myself and let you practice knocking me off Valor?

[not-so-smooth.livejournal.com]

No, but thanks.
