At night, can't sleep. Not because I miss my home too much or even because it's uncomfortable here (when I'm tired enough, I think I can sleep anywhere just about), but just because I guess I can't; not tired yet? It's quiet here, for the most part at night, except for the animal sounds, which help me sleep. I'm used to hearing nii-san walking around at night, working on whatever it is he's doing for his office for the next few days, I'm used to hearing my mother laughing and talking to someone on the phone. I'm also used to Kohana crawling into my bed sometimes, just because she feels like it. Here, if I feel anything crawling into my bed, my first reaction is to kick at it as hard as I possibly can.
But... I like it that I can just sit here by the firepit. I've found myself doing so almost everynight. I like looking up at the stars; they seem so endless and so many. I tried looking for constellations, to see maybe if I could geographically place where we are, but so far, I haven't found anything. But then, I was never good at astronomy to begin with. The sunrises and sunsets here are wonderful. I usually get up right before sunrise and watch, just to see it. And I can just sit here and think and it's not... a liability. No one forces me to talk if I don't want to, because I can just type in here. ^^ And when I do have something to say, I can say it to Fujita.
I sent emails off to my mother, my father, nii-san, and Elizabeth-san. I also sent one out to Shizuru-san; no replies yet. I don't know if they went through, but I said basically the same thing, that I didn't know where we were, but I was on an island and a list of the people I was with. I left out about the mermaids though, as I wasn't sure how to phrase it. I added in an extra bit for my mother, and I begged her not to worry. I really, really hope she's okay. I miss her, but at the same time, not as much as I think a daughter ought to miss her mother. We're just too different
Anyway.
EDIT: I really, really hate the foxes here. I -really- do. Three hours wandering around, just to make it back to the firepit, and they did it, and laughed. I think I'll follow Moroheiya's lead and buy a weapon. Or find a really sharp and pointy stick with which to jab. And I never thought I'd want to hurt an animal.
