Connections and Cautions at the Docks - January 27

 Journal Entry: 2026/01/27 Location: Ar's Station Mood/Title: Connections and Cautions at the Docks

The morning began with the usual flurry of updates and schedules, but the highlight was the social life blooming at the port. I had the pleasure of meeting Lady Sevasti of the Red Caste. We shared a quiet moment at the cafe, "people watching" and discussing our mutual respect for the intricate details required by our respective castes—Scribes and Warriors. It’s refreshing to find another single woman in the city; she seems focused on organization and teaching the young, and I truly hope we become friends.

The cafe was a theater of Gorean life today. Sitra, the slave girl, was particularly impressive with her service—even folding a napkin into the shape of a bird for Lady Sevasti. I also spoke with a traveler’s girl named Midnite, whose Master, Nameless, is a rarius looking for a Home Stone. I advised her to be cautious wandering alone and suggested her Master speak with the Commander. There was even a wandering blade, Robert R. Hale, who seemed respectful enough for a "wandering katana." It is rewarding to see people opening their minds, just as I hope my students at Lara’s College do.
