Back in West Themar, Already

This morning was nice, in a way. The thief, who I now know is named Ilyas, didn't steal anything. We all shared some food, but it’s not going to last long now that there’s more of us.
 
I went to Daddy’s grave, and there was this little squirrel, all shaky and shivery. It wasn't cold, but the squirrel just shook like that all the time. I gave it some food, and it stopped shivering a bit. I called him Shivar. Dunkin and Shivar got along okay – it’s funny seeing them together.
 
I found the sword and dagger in the house. There was a belt that came with it so I put it on. The sword’s too big for me, I can't take it out and it's too heavy, but the dagger feels just right. I put it on with the belt and hid it under my cloak. Don’t want people staring. I also take the sword with me even if it's big and heavy, when I grow up it will be fine.
 
We can’t stay at the farm, not with only a day's food left. So, me, Dunkin, Shivar, and Ilyas went back to the city. Dunkin led us right back through the sewers to the tavern. Ilyas’s friend was there and grabbed him, all mad-like. Ilyas told him how we got out of the city through the sewers.
 
The other thief, he got this look when he heard about the sewers. He got all excited, thinking about sneaking stuff in and out of the city. He wanted to know everything, so I told him – not about hearing through Dunkin, just the sewer stuff and that I heard the guards saying it ended in the river.
 
They said they’d give me food and a bed for showing them where the sewer ends. The bed is soft, and Dunkin and Shivar like it. I didn’t really want to say yes, but I don’t want them mad at me. Maybe it’ll be okay for a little while. I hope so. I don’t like owing people, especially thieves, but I don’t want trouble either.
 
Tonight, I’ll sleep in a real bed. It’s strange, not being on the ground. Dunkin’s curled up, and Shivar’s found a cozy spot. Ilyas seems alright, he’s not so bad. But I got to be careful. I don’t want to get mixed up in bad stuff. Just want to keep Dunkin and Shivar safe, and find a way to be okay. Maybe tomorrow will be better.
