2 Amuu 11 Ahkriiata 5 - I've now arrived at Sjitawat, and the first thing I notice is they say their r weirdly, almost like a bird's cooing. Now I understand why they call it Aajaajsjari.

2 Amuu 11 Ahkriiata 6 - If I'd known soursops are as expensive here as gold-garnished ones back home, I would've brought a few iiuans full. On the other hand, I was hoping gold itself would be worth more, and I've found a fellow Zjiiama-ite here selling what she says is authentic acifugi but it was sub-par; it's understandable since the ingredients may need substitutions. Fortunately I still brought enough money and goods for the crew to live here as long as we need. That said, as a celebration I might use some of that money to buy a night beside one of the city's men.

Permanent writing ink

Mix water, honey, charcoal, and nutgall extract. If you want a different color, replace charcoal with an appropriate ingredient. Boil the mixture until it's a thick paste. Wait until it's cold to use it. Keep adding water and honey as needed to thin and thicken. Don't use this on delicate writing materials because it'll ruin them.
