Day 1: Write a diary entry for your character, dated 10 years in the future.

The quill was ever swift in Kalyanar’s well-trained hand. Despite the slumbering child tucked in the crook of his other arm, red curls clenched tight in a tiny fist, the soft tap of the nib within the inkwell was the only thing to break the smooth rhythm of his script.

“I discovered an error in the accounting for the outbound shipments to the Southern docks this morning. A small thing, easily mistaken for simple miscalculation by a poorly-trained clerk, but something about it felt rather off, as it was not the first seemingly passable error I’ve noted coming from the same office. A little digging - with the Fenn by my side, of course - found another, and then another, and by lunch time I had the entire, poorly orchestrated scheme uncovered at my feet. The harbormaster, a minor Lord and one of the last holdouts from the time of Avie’s father, siphoning funds off the top and passing the costs on to the mainland. He tried to set his aids up take the fall, of course. Two of them are not even into their second decade, and were absolutely terrified by the entire debacle. But thankfully, for all that Vvalfel lacks in ferocity, his nose can sniff out lies like no other felhound I’ve yet tamed.”

“Avie, of course, was furious, her temper only worsened by her post-pregnancy aches and pains, and the unfortunate culprit has been left to my Lady’s increasingly not-so-tender mercies. Beginning the task of finding a new Harbormaster to take his place will have to be the work of tomorrow.”

“In far more pleasant news, a late supper with Minna only confirmed that Ahani continues to excel in her studies. It’s not just a father’s bias, has she has proven time and again; she is all but devouring her texts whole, and her leanings toward blood magic are becoming more noticeable. She hasn’t asked outright yet, but I suspect Minna wants to take Ahani under her wing properly, to prevent any unpleasant accidents - something I will have to broach with Avie at a later date. I personally would prefer for Ahani to receive a solid foundation in the more... steady, balanced basics Si’iohema practices before being taught too much by either of us. Avie’s methods are entirely too aggressive, and my own are far too risky for a girl not yet ten.”

“The babe came along with me during some of my investigations today; his first big outing with me alone, while his mother enjoyed picking up a sword again. The sea air seemed to do him good, and he is already beginning to smile and laugh. He is such a quiet, wide-eyed child-”

The quill left a streak of ink across the page, as if on cue, the ‘quiet’ child began to wail, abruptly awoken from his post-feeding nap. Kalyanar set the quill aside, a careless wave of his hand removing the spilled ink from the paper.

“...Well now, what is all this fuss about?” He cooed down at his youngest child, before tugging the tousled-haired infant up against his chest for a reassuring cuddle, journal quickly forgotten.

Togummi got way less mysterious.
