Patience

It would seem working at both the shrine and the shop have done well by me.  Being able to control myself and not just start snapping at those around me is something I will always be thankful for, though I wonder why Mother thought it best to test me in this particular manner.

Aren-san is...not particularly happy about how things at the hotel were handled.  Or just in a fundamental conflict of personality and belief with Alanna-san.  Most of the strife is centered around the two of them.  I fully suspect that either they will start throwing punches, or making out, any day now.  Perhaps I should see about aquiring a stun-gun or mace.  I suspect nothing short of that will stop a brawl, and turning the blunt end of my naginata on them seems excessive.

Moira-san and Aren-san, through use of their other abilities, pinned down what and where the artifact we need to liberate from the Enemy is.  Those abilities are...strange.  Perhaps I just think trying to peer past the veil of fate is cheating.  If we know what waits for us, where is the fun in letting life surprise you?  I suppose though, at least in this case, I shall live.  Especially as it's giving us a chance to stop the Enemy before another town is taken.

There was more arguing, then.  I am beginning to think I could cut through the tension in this group with a large brick.  But we did finally agree to a plan.  Aren-san, disguised as one of the creatures of the enemy(the proper name still makes no sense.  It is as if the Norse decided to knock over the concept of proper language, then perform a violent and disturbing dance upon it.) slipped up towards where the artifact was being held.  Myself, Moira-san, and Alanna-san followed behind, to make the Enemy think we were tailing one of their own.  The plan even worked splendidly, giants escorting 'their friend' back to the base.

Then the alarm sounded.
