This morning I worked to try and find someone who would be both willing and able to take care of the kids. I used my influence over the people liberally in this pursuit, usually I find that to be rather distasteful, but this is a special case.

Between the word of people I trust, some light mind reading, and who the kids themselves were able to tolerate, I was ultimately able to decide on a couple guys who wanted to have kids, but were unable to as there wasn’t a female in their relationship. I will admit that the vast majority of the work was done by other people, I don’t really know what makes someone have the potential to be good parents but I do have people that I trust who do. The kids seemed to like them, and the guys genuinely wanted to be good parents so hopefully it will work out.

That being said, Junior never leaves my side. Even to the point of missing meals or passing out from exhaustion she is refusing to leave my side, which is kind of worrying because I don’t need to eat or sleep so even when I do try to be considerate of her I end up forgetting.

Luckily Askos is always coming by to check up on her rather frequently, so no real harm was done, but he has been very busy with the rest of his siblings. He is trying to do what he can to keep his siblings healthy and happy, or at least keep them from spiraling into a depression. I just hope he finds time to deal with his own issues.

I spent most of the day helping Junior train. She’s making progress faster than I had thought she would be capable of. At the beginning of the day one in ten bodies were able to be restored to perfect condition without suffering any permanent damage, at the end of the day it was one in five.

I am a pretty good healer, but I’m not that good at teaching. Yeah, Lace helps a lot with that, but not nearly to this extent. She has more than just biological talent going for her. She is incredibly focused on the task in front of her to the exclusion of all else, that alone isn’t weird and it happens naturally with some regularity, but she is doing it intentionally, or at least instinctually. She squashes stray thoughts before they can fully form and filters out anything that isn’t relevant to her task, less as an attempt to do better and more like she’s scared of something. Of what I wasn’t able to get an answer.

And not just that, but the way she thinks is ideal for this. I don’t really know how to put it into words but the way she thinks about healing taught me a thing or two. She’s a veritable genius. I was wrong about her, she isn’t going to surpass me in healing, she is going to outstrip me so far that I can’t currently imagine the heights she will reach. That is, of course, if she sticks to this one path.

I’ll do what I can to make sure she has a long and successful life.

In other news, two more of my paladins are now skilled enough for me to integrate my plants into their bodies. There’s four more that already were rather skilled with the use of plants, and one more that is rather talented and probably going to catch up with them.

I gave all of them the same modifications and set them up with a couple training methods that I think will get them good at what I think they should be good at. Like being able to form a weapon and armor from the plants in their body in an instant, and being able to change that just as quickly react to new threats. Or changing the way the plants inside of them interact to improve their bodies.

Once there is one or two more of them I am going to have them start training with a couple of the dungeons around here, I’m already in the process of bribing the dungeons to help me.

Other than that I spent my downtime working on the anatomy book. At this point, I have all variations of my Ents written down. I give it three more days before I have the sum of all of my knowledge about anatomy on those pages.

When the scholars asked how my book was coming along they were shocked when they realized that I was already over halfway done, and looked at me in undisguised envy when I demonstrated my ability to burn anything I want onto paper nearly instantly. It was fun to show off like that.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
