We are imperfect beings, and thus we make ourselves imperfect in her eyes. So say the teachings, so say the Elders. But the cuts on my cheeks still burn and itch two weeks after the ceremony. Eva told me hers did too, but warned me not to show weakness before the Elders.
A surprise tonight - Eva snuck out and met me at the tannery when I was cleaning up. She told me her brigade leaves tomorrow for Wolf territory. I could tell she was scared. So we sat and watched the fire for a while. She asked me if I had been promised yet. Before I could answer, she kissed my cheek and dashed back into the woods. In that moment, I forgot where I was and all my troubles left me.
Eva's brigade has not returned yet. Went to the communal dinner in Haven to quiet my thoughts, but found no comfort there. It was unusually quiet, apart from Elder Duncan's usual sermon, but even that felt different tonight. He said: though our Prophet guides us to cleanse the demons and rebalance the world, there is no promise that such a thing will come to pass in our lifetimes; it is an eternal struggle. Lots to think about tonight.
