Preface: This is a method of bridging the gap between the last time the characters of Lefroot were used until more recently by detailing multiple entries based on weeks, days, or months, from the perspective of Lisica. It will include less-detailed descriptions of events that occurred over this time specifically within Jormund or Peakpass, as well as a great deal of Lisica's thoughts and feelings. It's all very personal stuff, I assure you.
I will be taking creative liberties with characters that I don't own normally (namely Felix, Vair, Kidara, and June) and events. All of these are a work of fiction that I'm making up to provide substance to otherwise meaningless downtime.

Entry 1 Vair has had a diary for a long time! Since I haven't been able to talk to anyone for very long due to the work Keane is having me do, I stole a notebook from his workshop. I'm just going to write in here about my day whenever I get a chance to. More than likely, though, entries will be infrequent. But it will help me with my writing skills! Keane told me that normally you have to be interviewed for a job, it's not always just handed to you, and that means you have to make a "rezumay." This should help me when I need to make a rezumay! Anyway, it's time to sleep. I have a big day tomorrow (or so I'm told)

Entry 2
This one is going to be short. I've been working very hard lately, but Keane says I'm doing great work! My powers make it easy for my body, but it's hard for my mind. I keep getting headaches.
Kidara says she'll make me a traditional Lunarian dessert if I keep doing so well. I'm excited!

Entry 3
It's been about a week since my last entry. The mountain's heating crystal ran out of energy, so Keane showed me how to replace them. It's really cool! There's a big heater with the crystal at its center, and all these vents. He also showed me the crystals for the electricity and water systems are.
Lately, I've been mining and breaking rocks off crystals so that Keane can use them. I hate mining, because I don't like the confined space, but I don't want Vair or Felix to have to work, so I'm doing all I can!
Exalt Amelie's daughter, Lillie, is nice. She came back from a diplomatic mission and she came to visit Keane. She seems to really like him, but he treats her with well-guarded respect. He seems to be very cautious about looking professional. Lillie doesn't have much time to hang out, though, since she's the chief diplomat, but she said if she finds time she'll MAKE Keane let me play with her! I'm very interested in how she does her hair- it's so pretty!
Felix was awake when I came home, but Vair wasn't, she fell asleep on the couch again. I made sure to be quiet, so that she didn't wake up, and before going to my room I saw Felix staring longingly at her. They're so cute.

I played with Lillie today!
Entry 4
I played with Lillie today! I was so excited I forgot to number my entry...
She's very smart. She likes puzzles and mind games. But she's also so sweet! She made me a flower crown. She has her own private garden in the palace and it's really neat. June told me she's only let her mom, Keane, myself, and the other diplomat, Poe, inside.
I had to work afterward, though. I worked later than usual, but Kidara made me that dessert she said she would make! I brought it home for Felix and Vair. Hopefully they like it.
I'm sleepy, so I'm going to put myself to bed. I have a day off tomorrow, though!

Entry 5 It's been a month! I dropped this journal underneath the couch and only just found it again. I found Vair and Felix sleeping on the couch when I got home earlier, and I was sneaking up to scare them when I saw it! I've been working more, which means spending a lot of time with Keane and Kidara. They're also cute together. Kidara is really interesting too! She's a princess, but she is very ambitious. She likes fighting and doesn't really like games, but I managed to get her to play cards with me and she seemed like she was enjoying it until she lost... I asked Lillie if she had a boyfriend. She blushed and said she hadn't ever tried dating before (which is so surprising! She's adorable) but that there are a few boys that she knows that she thinks are cute. She even said someone from Centrino has always caught her eye when she visits! Lillie is very driven. She has a lot of thoughts about future careers. She doesn't know if she'll try to take over for her mother when she retires, but she hopes that if she does run for Exalt, the people will trust her as much as they trust her mom. But she also has other ideas! She likes animals and wishes we didn't live in a mountain so she could see more. She wants to be an animal doctor. Maybe she can look at me next time I'm sick!

Entry 6 I asked for a week off. Keane looked over some papers and admitted that I'd done enough work to last us another month in the two months we've been here. I asked for 2. Keane laughed! I thought it was funny too. Entry 7 I'm taking this time off so that I can spend time with Felix and Vair. We haven't played together in so long because I've been working. There's some sort of festival soon, and the city is getting ready for it by putting up flags and banners. And baking! The whole city smells amazing. I'm gonna go with Felix and Vair and get lots of cakes and food. They're carting in meats and fruits and candy! It's going to be great. Oh, oh, I found out the name of the festival! It's a traditional Lefroot celebration only done during July, like a middle-of-summer thing. There's dancing and games and food and drinks! Lillie showed me her dress- she looks so pretty in it! It's dark blue and makes her look very sexy. The boys will be all over her during the festival! One time when we were walking through the market to get apples for Keane, a dark-haired boy was looking at her, and when she noticed and smiled, he smiled back! He looked a little younger than her, but I thought he was very confident. Maybe they'll get together!

Entry 8
Oh my god! Today was the first day of the festival, and it was SO GREAT! There were performances and music and lots of great FOOD!
Lillie and I danced together. She's very good, much better than I am, but we'd been practicing! Once we were finished, that dark-haired boy cut in and danced with me. He was also very good! We talked while dancing, which messed up a bit of my footwork. His name is Nero, and he's 15 years old. He was very interested in my ears and tails, which made me feel so honored. Every time we spun, I could see his eyes flit to Lillie, and after a few minutes I asked if he'd like me to introduce them. He smiled and agreed, and said that while he had felt confident from afar, he had lost it when he got closer.
They danced for a long time. While they did that, I danced with Vair and Felix in turn, and then they also danced for a long time. Vair seemed to enjoy it a lot, but probably because she got to be close to Felix. Neither of them were as good as I was, but they didn't need to be! They were having fun and that's what mattered.
A few boys were looking at me. I felt a little bad for them... I don't want to get anyone's hopes up... though maybe they were just looking at my ears and tails.
The food was so good! I loved the chicken and fish and cakes and cinnamon fried bread things they had! We bought a bag of candy and brought it home with us.
I didn't get a chance to play with Kidara and Keane, but I also didn't see them in the square. Maybe they were off alone together while June was distracted! I wonder if they're really in love, or if they just kind of like each other. I see the way he looks at her- when he thinks she isn't looking, and she kind of blushes and almost looks over her shoulder *the line ends abruptly*
I wish *this line also ends here*

Entry 9
Morning -- I fell asleep last night while writing. Vair said she took my journal out from beneath me so I didn't drool on it, and swore she didn't read it. She kind of blushed when she said that, but I believe her.
Today is the second day of the festival. I'm so excited! I need to ask Lillie about Nero and see what she thinks about him.
-- Later -- Lillie blew us off to hang out with Nero. I was disappointed, but so happy for her! Vair and I talked a bit while Felix got food for us. She doesn't think it's great here, but she's glad that Felix and I are with her. I'm glad she was so honest with me. I thought about going back to the guild. I would be okay with it- it would be a lot more boring that here, but I would be able to spend more time with them. And it would be easier than working here. It's a lot more prone to, you know... EXPLODING violently. So there's that.
Plus, I want Felix and Vair to be safe. I hate thinking that they might get hurt if we went back.
I'm getting tired, so I'm going to go to sleep so I don't drool on my journal, like last night.

Entry 10
The fifth day of the festival! I missed writing for the last two. Nero kissed Lillie! She said it made her feel weird, but that his lips were warm. She asked me if I'd ever kissed a boy. I told her no. I wasn't sure whether or not to tell her that I liked girls, so I didn't.
Today there were lines of performers in paper dragons. They blew fire that sparkled and glowed- it's cool how they didn't catch themselves on fire. Vair was a little afraid of the fire, but Felix made her feel safe. He's so nice.
I saw Kidara and Nexus. I talked to them a lot while Felix and Vair danced again. Nexus told me a lot about a similar festival his caravan had when he was a kid. They celebrated wherever they were, and were a little famous for their shows. He got a bit quiet toward the end of the story, so I didn't ask about more, and Kidara started talking to him so he brightened up a little.
Kidara's dress was very nice. She said it was something her mother wore, that she brought back from the Moon. It fit her well, and made her very attractive. I was almost willing to steal her away from Nexus, nya!~
Nexus would probably kill me though. He doesn't seem like someone I want to mess with.
I bought a dress for Vair. I didn't want to spend the money on one for me because the only one I wanted was reeeeaally expensive. I hope Vair likes hers!

Entry 11
The last day of the festival was exciting. It was held in Peakpass, because I guess that's the only part they celebrate. Amelie made sure that Peakpass didn't have to pay for anything so that they could just enjoy the party- I thought that was very nice of her. Jormund is really wealthy, but Peakpass isn't, really, so we've helped them by making land that's agriculturally sound year round and by giving them "subsidies" whatever those are. The people there are very nice!
Since it's summer, there wasn't much snow, but it seemed like it had snowed last night, since everything was damp and the stone smelled very fresh, like growing trees. I picked flowers and gave some to Felix to give to Vair and some to Nero. (when Lillie wasn't looking at him, which was hard!) Nexus picked some with me, and gave them to Kidara. She seemed pleased, and I think I saw Gencer roll his eyes.
I wonder how Gencer feels about their relationship. I haven't talked to him very much, because he's always so quiet. I'd like to get to know him better. Oh well.
They set off fireworks! Real big ones, too! It was so cool to see, but it gave me flashbacks to being in that tomb and punching that big monster with those bombs. It made my arms hurt again and I had to cover my ears and go away for a little bit. Vair came to find me after a few minutes and I told her that I was just getting to know Peakpass a little better, but I don't think she believed me, but she also didn't question me any more. We went back to Felix and ate food and played more games, and Vair danced with me for a long time tonight! I felt so lucky.
When we got back to Jormund, Lillie pulled me aside. She told me that Nero had kissed her again, but this time it was more like a "real" kiss. I told her I was happy she was so happy, and she blushed and looked at me sheepishly. She asked if I'd met anyone I liked at the festival. I told her no. Then she asked me if I was okay with Vair and Felix being "together," and I think she saw me hesitate because I had to think about it, because after I said I was okay with it she asked me again and I said I was. She invited me to her garden again after that. I think she wants to talk to me about them more, but I don't want to, so I think I'll decline her invitation, even though it might hurt her feelings. I think she'll understand.
I talked to Amelie a lot tonight. She was wearing a big blue and red dress, and her white hair was dyed bright colors. She looked beautiful. She had a great speech that I can't remember and drank a lot. Nexus drank a lot, too. He offered us whatever it was they were drinking, but I told Vair and Felix not to drink it. We're too young! Lillie was drinking, though, out of sight of her mother. That might be why she asked me about Felix and Vair.
I don't have to work until Thursday. I have so much more time to be lazy!

Entry 12
I went to Lillie's garden today, even though I said I wouldn't. We sat down and had lunch together there. She asked me a lot about what I like to do for fun, and was very nice. I think she was embarrassed about asking me about Felix and Vair last night, and was trying to make it up to me. I like her a lot.
During a particularly long silence I told her that I liked girls. She seemed a little surprised, but then said it made sense. I'd never looked at any of the boys the same way they looked at me. I blushed then, and she laughed. Nero knows some boys that are interested in me.
Lillie asked me if I've kissed a girl- other than Vair. I told her I had. She asked me what it was like in an almost excited way. It was like a romance novel, and I giggled when I thought about kissing her right then. She asked me what was funny, and I told her nothing and answered her question. She was surprised that it wasn't any different, but it made sense to me.
I've never had a "real" kiss from Vair, anyway, so I don't know why she had to make that distinction.
After playing with Lillie I went into Nexus' workshop for a bit. He told me about how he first joined the Guild. Weird how he could just show up out of the woods like that.
I ran into Owl. She said she'd been too shy to talk to me, since I seemed so interesting, and that since the Festival had come she and Keu were especially vigilant. I commended her for being so duty-bound.
I think she likes girls, too. She's cute. I want to talk to her more.
Felix told me a boy came by the house today, looking for me, and that he told the boy to come back tomorrow. It's a little embarrassing. I hope he's not disappointed.

Entry 13
Yesterday, that boy came by. His name is Percy. He's an elf. Or a half-elf. I don't remember. He's very handsome, though.
We went down to the market and he bought me flowers and candy. I bought him a nice shirt he liked, to be nice, and he was very happy! We ran into some of his friends and they were all very nice, too, though I don't remember their names. Percy bought some cakes and took me to a tall building, where we ate and talked. He asked me about Lillie and Nero, and I told him what I knew (but only about one kiss, which he already knew about). We also talked about other random things. His favorite color is blue!
I spent almost the whole day with Percy. He was fun to be around. When I got home, Felix was out, and Vair wouldn't really talk to me. I think she was mad that I left her alone all day. Felix came back after and hour or two, and I invited them to play cards. That softened Vair up, so we had fun. Now they're sleeping soundly (again) and I'm about to sleep, too!
Today, I started working again. Vair made me a lunch! But it wasn't very good. She still needs to practice. I don't think you need to cook a peanut butter sandwich...
Lillie was in Nexus' shop when I came to work there. She and Nexus were talking about something related to Rihzt, but I couldn't follow their conversation. When I was taking a break, Lillie talked to me about Percy. She said he was being picked on a little, because he saw me. I didn't like that. Just because he's more confident than those other boys...

Entry 14 Nero got in a fight today. Those same boys who were teasing Percy were saying mean things about me, and he defended me. I guess they goaded him into it. He had a black eye and a broken nose, but he assured me the other boys were worse off and that Percy was perfectly fine. I think he was lying- about the other boys, not Percy- but I couldn't be sure. I brought him flowers and I thanked him a lot. When I told Vair and Felix, they got real quiet. Vair disappeared, and Felix got a little worried, but I assured him that she was smart and wouldn't hurt them. At least I hoped she wouldn't. Lillie was very proud of Nero. She came by to make sure I was okay, and stayed for a little when she saw that I was. She brought food from the palace- it was so good! Percy also came by, and Felix went to go look for Vair, so Lillie left us alone. He told me that he was sorry he hadn't been the one who'd fought those boys, but I told him it didn't matter and that I was glad he had come by. I like him. I wanted to kiss him, but we talked a bit and he said he was glad I was okay and left before the right moment came around. Boys are so dumb! A girl would have waited for it.

Entry 15 This is three days after Nero's fight. I'm very confused. I've been working a lot, but it's also given me time to think. I've been thinking a lot about emotions. So much has happened in the past month. Lillie kind of has a boyfriend now, Percy likes me, but I'm not sure what I feel about him. I know I wanted to kiss him the other day, but that doesn't mean I really like him, does it? I don't want to talk about my real feelings in here, because I'm still worried Vair will read it. I believe she would never do so, but I can't bring myself to fill the page as much as I want to. Getting it on paper would really help me sort it out, I think, or telling someone- but I can't tell Lillie that... maybe I should talk to her about Percy. She might know what to do. Vair doesn't seem to like Percy. I think she's just protective of me. I'm going to ask Lillie if I can see her garden again. She'll know what I mean.
