~chuckles softly~...yes this is a wee bit early (20 days to be exact) but the way life is, the importance of the day, well...just couldn't take the chance on it being missed.
it's mind boggling that it has been almost a year, since that day in Turia, where You were gifted an awkward slave. funny how surreal it all was. You had taken pity on a girl who had yet to go into the city itself (even though You had already grown weary of it's confines), and very generously took her into see the all the new sights as she took the silver her Master had allowed her to have. it was on the spur of the moment, to look for a jeweler. the girl, just wanted to show appreciation for Your time, and wanted to bring You a smile that day. so she scoured for a small stone. one (unknown to the girl at the time~chuckles~) that You helped to barter for. once an acceptable price had been reached, and the small stone was secured in the tattered pouch, and the store was left to memory,on the busy street, she timidly offered You that tiny sliver of amber, her meager thanks for the gift of Your time. and that night, You to had given that girl a gift....the gift of Your steel. and ever since, You have remained just as giving of Your time and attention to the slip of a thing. You have taught more than You may know, of simple, but fundamental things, loyalty, devotion, friendship, and acceptance. it's simply amazing. there is only one thing to wish for on this anniversary...and that is many more to come.
thank You my Mistress...for all the gifts You give
~Yours
