Sleepless Night
After the evening meal, Shanku's family went to their quarters. Banhi and Muso were very sleepy and had to be carried by Shanku and Hilael. Nari was quiet and distracted as she led her cubs away. Shanku and Hilael made a nest and tucked their siblings close to them, settled down, and tried to go to sleep. Shanku pulled Banhi under her new quilt, but couldn't sleep herself. She was staring at the stars in anticipation of the next day, almost oblivious to the worry of her mother and oldest brother. She gave them both a reassuring grin and continued to unofficially keep watch for the night.
The first day went much better than I had hoped. So far, it seems like everybody is getting along. Tomorrow is when the tournament will begin, and I can't wait!
It would be a good idea to sleep. It's going to be a long day tomorrow. But can I? No. No, no, no. I'm happy to be home, and the feuding has finally amounted to something interesting!
I wonder if any of those big ol' bison minocentaur will wander into the games? I guess that wouldn't be fair if the Imperials are scared of them now though...

Sleepless Night
Ugh, rough week. In the same day, I had a representative from both the far left and far right come into my office! I hate zealots, I really do. Normal right? Normal left? I can deal. They're normal. Zealout right? Zealot left? Perish the thought. Ignorant asshats. I'm not going to apologize for being female, and I'm not going to apologize for being from Alabama. Thankfully these kind of nutjobs are a minority, but that doesn't mean I appreciate being shamed because I was born with whatever is previously or currently deemed socially inappropriate or politically incorrect.
Chapter Notes:
Oh goodness, I am stalling so bad... I did not like how I had originally written this arc, and I'm trying to cobble something new together.
