I am waiting for Purazon to arrive. I am a little bit nervous or scared, I think. I am not sure what has just occured. I had an encounter with the woman they call "Pauline" (previous entry), but then a man who introduced himself as Deagus Ferreh came walking down the path as I was looking in the bushes for the woman after she had spoken to me. I tried to look like nothing was going on, but I am sure he picked up on my nervousness. In any event, he said that he had heard noises coming from my direction as he was walking towards the "dark tree". He wanted to know if everything was okay. I assured him that it was. He lingered for quite some time without speaking. And then, quickly he said he must be going and continued on down the path. Almost immediately after he had rounded the bend out of sight, I heard the woman's voice in the foliage again! She said "I told you...shove off guv. We'll talk another time maybe. Too many suspicious hereabouts.Still want to know how you learned my name. Ain't told anyone." And then she was gone, there was nothing but silence.

I have called for Purazon to meet me at the very spot where she spoke to me, and where she threatened Vardian. I hope he arrives soon.
