Well, birthdays are important too, though! And twenty's a big one - we definitely have to celebrate. So yeah, as soon as this stuff is all over, let's do a dinner for all of us. We've got fresh milk and eggs too - I might even be able to make a cake or something. Besides, it'd be great to be able to have you guys over!

[Tara hasn't been here long at all, and her introduction to Trench has not been terribly gentle. It seems like things just keep getting worse. It feels important to keep trying to draw her into the things here Willow genuinely likes about the city, like the connections she's made with the other Sleepers.]

I don't think under any circumstances it'd be an easy transition for her. I mean, she got here in November, when things were really bad, and there's been pretty much always something going on ever since. Maul's just one more.

And of course he wants anything to do with anything that has any sort of power at all. I guess we probably shouldn't be surprised he's taken an interest in Peter's demon. God, he's such a creep. It doesn't surprise me at all that you telling Maul no is what started your fight with him. He makes me so angry sometimes. He's got no sense of boundaries, or decency at all. It's just all about what he wants, and screw everyone else.

Oh, don't worry about a cake. Peter's demon made me one, and it's actually very good! [ Paimon was excellent in ensuring she had a nice birthday cake for her birthday. It was actually... perfect, on a technical level. Luna was very impressed. ] I've been keeping it magically, so it lasts. Maybe I can bring some slices with me for dessert. :)

[ Paimon has been... very insistent that the cake is only for her. But she can't eat a whole cake herself, thus the need to store is magically. Surely he wouldn't protest Luna sharing it with other witches. ]

Oh, no. At least in Deerington we would have some less awful months. But it doesn't really feel like it's been a simple ride here in Trench, really. Other than January, I suppose.

I suppose when Glitch told me what he motives were in general, it made a lot of sense as to why he was trying to be friendly with the demon — and also try to get rid of Peter. Even when the demon did tell Maul to back down after he refused to listen to me, Maul continued to be horrible to Peter because when Peter's afraid, he's not as strong. [ Meaning Paimon's around more, and Luna's worked so hard just to keep Peter mentally present. Especially when she's been warned by Paimon that Peter might disappear completely one day. ]

Exactly that. I warned him not to interfere with my bond with the demon because that's something you just don't mess around with. At all. But he took it as an insult and decided he'd just do what he wants.

I just... really dislike him.

That sounds great too! We'll make plans as soon as all this stuff with Maul is settled.

Yeah, January as far as the Trench went didn't seem so bad. Lots of weirdness with people changing and stuff. We kind of had our own problems at home, though. It all stemmed from what happened with the blood zealots, though, in November. It sounds like they come around every year too. We'll have to be ready for them next time.

Ugh, of course Maul's going after Peter because of his demon. He's made it pretty clear he doesn't really care about anything unless it benefits him. It amazes me he has as many friends as he does sometimes. How do people stand by someone who does this stuff?
