I've had several more dreams this month, but with all that had happened I've scarcely had time to think on them. After seven months at sea, we've finally arrived in China. As I feared, tensions were high for most of the trip, though by the time we crossed the equator, I'm pleased to say that the general relations between the Chinese embassy, the aviators, and the sailors had managed to level out. I'm afraid Captain Riley, an old friend and my former first lieutenant while I was in the Navy, and I had an argument we weren't quite able to patch up.
Temeraire fell ill for a couple of days, there were a couple attempts on my life, and we were attacked by a sea serpent, but aside from that, the trip itself was fairly uneventful.
I am a little nervous about what awaits us now that we're in China, however. Relations between our countries aren't what one might consider warm.
