A Friend in a New Shape

There is a pickpocket aboard the ship. A kobold? There is a slightly increased saftey measure now, having people go about their business in two's.
 
I had been approached by a triton woman I did not recognize. Her voice had been familiar, but I could not place why at the time. She had asked if I could assist her, to which I obliged. When we arrived at her quarters is the moment I realized she was no stranger, but indeed, my disguised friend. I did not expect her to reveal herself, but I am glad she did.
 
I am also glad she did not lose her shape to the unseen pickpocket aboard. That is concerning. Even if the buddy system were not in place, I would offer my presence to her. She has locked away her own shape to ensure it does not get stolen. She is not without her own means to protect herself, but I still worry.
 
It may have been only a short time since my departure from the Fallen Angels, but I did miss them more than I was previously aware.
 
Were it not for my desire to discover my past, I am sure I would not have left, as long as they would have me.
 
I will not stray now, though.
 
If I can give Sahala and Temerity any sort of answers, I will. I had none for them before. But I do not expect help. It was very clear to me that seeing their dead sister, alive and whole, save for the missing memory, was a disturbance. One I had no intention of causing, and I will not take advantage of wearing their sister's face to answer my own questions. This does increase my concern with Shoncodu.
 
She can tell me if I am me. But the marital issues that were mentioned have me somewhat uneasy. I do not think it is often one is approached by their dead ex-wife. I did not ask for details on the those issues either. If I find her in Tilum, I will ask for her confirmation, but I fully accept the possibility of a refusal.
 
I expressed only some of that to Sahala in a letter, along with what Famros told me of Fethtetuuk's soul being missing. I am unaware if she knows of Fethtetuuk's disappearance, but there was little time to have returned to the Soul Trader's to speak to her.
 
Another matter: Puff seems to be struggling from small bouts of seasickness. I will offer her some advice to help ease it. She does seem to be handling it better than a few others, but I am sure it is still unpleasant.
