Jagged-edged parchment lays compressed between two pieces of shark hide, bound together by a cord of the same grey hide.

Vacation?
Seems that way. Elenoire and I are going to visit her family for about a quarter-cycle.
Henry, an old man it sounds like, used to be a merchant. Victoria, her mother. That will be the real test. No, the real test is Henley. He is ancient and without teeth. How a dog like that survives is beyond me.
"Henley shall survive the week, unscathed." Her words brought a sharkish grin to my lips.
I usually am not nervous for anything; however, in this case, I worry that I'll do or say something that will cause issues with her family. I told her that I'm thankful for the bonding of Stephanie and James, for how else would I have her to myself?
Vacation?
I'm looking forward to every moment of it.
