Have you had any luck locating Dee?

[Private to Dee]

If you read this, and you are with Issan, ask her about the Knights of Ren. I don't want to believe that you knew what she was when you left, but I will accept the truth.

I really can't deal with anything else right now.

I have traded my ship (the one that I held the title to, but which was inaccessible to me) for a share in another ship, so I am back to wandering the galaxy to buy and sell and observe. This time, with a trading partner who I can only trust as far as I can throw her. (That is a very strange expression. There is no actual throwing going on. Only tricks and maneuvering.)

Perhaps I should also trade my name for Jack, who also made an unfortunate trade, and hope that my new position is at least as profitable as fantastical beans.

(And since anything is possible, I am curious: does anyone have any fantastical beans in the world they come from?)

The main share of the ship is owned by my new partner's family, who own enough ships that I can only hope they will be kind to my old one after they have retrieved it. I find that I miss it, now that it is truly no longer mine. I did not know that I could care about ships that much.

I have been careful, and I think I have left behind those that were watching with this move, but I am still...curious. If anyone else has any similar experience with watchers, I would still like to find out more, if you are willing to compare notes.
