Ending Before It Began

Twice now, plans had been made to meet, and to explore. First the museum, and this time the fair. Twice now, the plans had been set aside or forgotten. It ended before it even began. I think it's a sign. I looked for a set of those cards that Fate used to use, in order to tell me what was to come. I scoured every section of the Merchants' tent, but did not find any. I plan to search now that I am back on Cos, and failing that, will search again when I return home to Ar.

Therise is reopening her shop, and naming truffles after some of us. Maybe. At least, that was the way she put it. She's also having a party for the occasion, which I agreed to attend. No date has been set, nor for the hunt or the eventual trip back to the ruins. I was also told that Nathan, Sage, and Lucien were hoping I would open a second shop on Cos. I am considering it, even though the original was set up just to keep me amused. The new semester will be starting in a hand or so at the school. I have a great deal on my plate, but I can feel the restlessness starting.
