Jhin's House, First

After returning to the house and licking our wounds (and by “licking our wounds” I mean burning my original body and pretending it was my sister that really died 15 years ago) before sorting this out with Jhin (and by “sorting this out” I mean asking why he sent us to our certain deaths). It was awkward stoniness as its finest; A Hal specialty.
 
My original body. .. I was born in a coffin now, not in Northal. I still feel like Rhea Birk, but not the Rhea Birk that grew up in Begolia. Technically I grew up in a wooden box in the span of 120 days. Does that mean I’m finally absolved? That nothing the Rhea did before matters since that crazy bitch is dead? I guess at this level there’s no one here to tell me the rules. Does this mean I get to make them myself?
Let’s say ‘yes’.
 
The next morning we headed up to –c̶h̶a̶s̶t̶i̶s̶e̶ ̶r̶e̶b̶u̶k̶e̶ question Jhin’s motives in sending us into a situation that resulted in most of us dying..including me. He’s a smart guy. A smart immortal guy! He had to have known what we were walking into right? I mean I knew Lian was an asshole all along, but Jhin used the word ‘friend’. Who makes friends with a piece of shit like that?
 
Anyway whatever ire we wanted to throw off our shoulders and onto his was shunted right back at us even before we got to the throne room. - along with a goblin and a .. goat guy, a diplomat from Trinum, just like Celrin. Let’s hope goat necks are stronger than elves.
 
Not exactly being able to ask in front of other people if he knew we were walking into the literal corpse of a dead god along with my ex-mentor who was planning to use me as bait so he could become a demigod we let the topic slide. And then we agreed to house the animal people in the waiting room., because that’s how conversations go with Machiavellian narcissists go.
 
So now that’s a thing. At the very least with the implications of non-humans in her house Eleonora let me sleep upstairs with her. The gob knows about the generator stuff, which is nice, since I have no interest and it needs maintaining.

There is a shadow girl in my room. Well, she was in the kitchen and she was hungry and yes at the opposite end of my better judgement she is now full and safe in my room. By writing it down I should be reminding myself that just because she’s a small girl and all alone doesn’t mean she isn’t capable of some heinous shit and that I shouldn’t be on my guard. S̶h̶e̶ ̶j̶u̶s̶t̶ ̶k̶i̶n̶d̶a̶ ̶r̶e̶m̶i̶n̶d̶s̶ ̶m̶e̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶W̶r̶e̶n̶.̶ ̶
