Pentember 5th

- I went to one of the services at the Loarnic temple today, the same one where Palkeera always took me to teach me the Mother Tongue of my people. It has been a while since I attended.

The priest recognized me immediately, greeting me with a firm handshake. He invited me to sing with the choir and then allowed me to make use of my schooling by reading a passage to the congregation.
I adore the gazes of the people as they look to me for their readings of Faith. Surely this must be what the Pontifices feel when they preach. It is intoxicating.

Before I started my chores and assignments, I wanted to do just a few more things for my own amusement.
Out on the balcony, I saw the Magpie-Jay again. After so many weeks of my feeding it, the bird no longer flies away as soon as it sees me. Instead, it waits until I get close enough to put down a piece of bread. It will not let me touch it, but it does flutter close by enough for me to feel the wind of it’s wings. It always grabs the bread and flees.

When it flew away, I looked down into the courtyard and saw Azzanadra. He was walking along, seeming agitated, while the Cardinals followed in him a group. I could not hear their words, but I could hear their voice. They all spoke at once.
He turned, snapping at them with a harsh tone. The Cardinals stopped in their tracks. Azzanadra advanced at them and they all withered away from him. All but one, anyway. When the last one continued to hound him, Azzanadra just lengthened his strides. He left the Cardinal behind as he disappeared through a door back into the Temple.

What was that all about?
The Cardinals seem very annoying. I bet Azzanadra resents them.
