How does a farmer become rich suddenly? I don't think I've ever heard a story like that before. At least not without marriage. All I can think is either I have a noblewoman as a wife or I got real lucky playing slots when I left for the city. I'm not sure what's more believable.

I was also mistaken for a ferryman when I was steering a gondola the other day while wearing a different mask. It's kind of nice, so I think I'll keep at it for an hour or two a night. I thought it might be helpful if two people from opposite sides need to meet in person for a little while.

Deadly mortal enemies.

It's hard enough to read through all my healing papers, and I actually care about that. I'm not sure how much on politics I'm going to be able to get through without wanting to fight someone.

I was invited to take spiritual healing classes at one of the minor magic schools. They said they could sense there was something off about mine. And well, the healer's halls don't seem to mind so I'm taking some classes there to broaden my abilities while we're here as well.

I see. And your powers are

Cooperating well with that?

I haven't had any trouble so far, but it's all basic stuff right now. Meditation and theory. I'm not actually trying to use any magic just yet. I hope it goes well.
