Confined

I am not well enough to leave the house. I attempted to but was argued down. I cannot refuse when D.A. implores me to remain.

I dispatched Mirtai to see Pip and the others for any solutions they may have. I was reluctant to, because she has also endured much. Unfortunately, it did not go well. She was threatened, and they refused to give her what they had crafted. She wept when she returned, and I could not bear to send her out again.

I composed a letter and stated my position. I cannot leave. No one can come here.

It even hurts to bloody write.
