Rock-Solid Belief

Hey again, Book…

It’s been an interesting time of late, traveling with Tora’a Honi. I say interesting because it’s weird to be able to depend on someone. I’ve grown up only ever being able to rely on myself. Mother was too sick and Father was… well, he just wasn’t around. You know why. Aside from them, I was usually too busy with work to take care of Mother and I to make many friends, much less friends you could depend on. Oh, sure I was friendly enough with the dockworkers in Limsa or the various errand-runners at the various Guilds, but they weren’t the kind of friendships you could lean on.

Kind of like Kazuma, I enjoy talking to him and I trust him to a certain degree, but he’s away so often and I see him so infrequently that I just… I can’t depend on him. I’m hesitant to lean on him. He can’t be a rock for me when he’s as errant as the wind. That’s no insult to him, he’s a good soul and he works hard, I respect him greatly. I just… I dunno. I need something more in a steady partner.

I think I’ve found that in Tora. I want to believe that I have. I need to believe it. I refuse to believe anything else.
