Year of the Boar, Sixth Month, Day 21.

It is becoming more and more difficult to stay hidden as I move further up the Kingdom; I skirted past one of Crying Orchid's villages a day or two ago and although I did my best to attract no attention, I did draw one or two curious glances. I thought it prudent not to ask for hospitality among the people there as they did not seem overly friendly, but I only have a few pieces of dried fruit and some smoked meat left in my bundle... I hope I can make it into Golden Harvest before I really need to eat... perhaps I shall just have to take things even more slowly so as not to send myself into some sort of collapse...
