Joyous Acquisitions and Unfortunate Events

Today has been quite long...
 
Gwen and I went to the immigration office and were told property ownership was needed to become citizens of Fathomsport. Thankfully we had enough in platinum, gold, and valuable items to cover the cost of a lovely place on the docks. It's nothing like home, but my is it a welcome respite after all this time living rough and in hovels. There's a workshop inside that will help tremendously with expanding the company I've invested in with Gwen. I've coined it to be the East Port Trading Co. Exotic spices will be more prevalent in Fathomsport than I believe they ever have.
 
After we conducted our business we headed to the trial we had heard about today and I thought I'd be witnessing the rule of law passed on wonton criminals in need of rehabilitation or execution. My feeling of surprise was fleeting when I saw Peridot and Tim Tam. Thankfully Peridot had only committed a minor offence and was punished accordingly. During her trial I was approached by a member of the gentry to speak for the prosecution during Tim Tam's proceedings, which I agreed to. I believe that everyone should be punished according to their crime and Tim Tam's offence would have been damning if not for Mr. Serpentwind's life insurance. I succeeded in getting a just, but merciful sentence for my boisterous friend, though he may not know it and be cross at me.
 
Overall today went well and I look forward to the 'morrow. Though, I have a feeling I can only describe as foreboding. I will pray before bed and reflect on the events in the recent months more intently to find some reason for my unrest.
