Today I focused on refining Astrie. At the rate I’m going I should be done I roughly six days, give or take a day or so depending on how much I am interrupted. I highly doubt I will make any new breakthroughs in my refining process as this is ultimately a pretty easy process, just repetitive.

I also hung out with Thes today, partially because everyone else was busy and partially because he looked lonely sitting there on his own. He still doesn’t talk much though. He doesn’t really seem to have any shared interests with the others, which makes me wonder why exactly he decided to join up with Mest, if I recall correctly Tiddol is a relatively new addition to their team. However. when I asked he didn’t say anything.

He did tell me that this version of his medicine was getting less effective already, he is going to need the next version soon. After that he will only have two left.

For a while I tried talking with him about possible fixes for his situation, he stayed silent throughout. Towards the end he asked me a question, ‘why are you trying to help me?’

I had no answer for him.
