I am almost done with the armor, another day of working on it and I’ll be done with any improvement I can implement in a reasonable amount of time.

My birthday is tomorrow, and I am really excited. I wonder what presents I’m going to get. This is my first birthday since my parents died, and the first one where so many people have been able to celebrate it with me.

Talus came up to me today when I was working on the armor, asking me about it. She seemed genuinely interested in it and asked me if I could make her one with a lot of resistance to fire, naturally, I agreed but said that I couldn’t do it now.

She asked me if she could try one on, I agreed. It was only after I agreed that I remembered the fact that it tends to destroy cloths when it forms, something I don’t have to deal with anymore as I just wear a variant of the armor. She stripped down right in front of me before having me talk her through how to activate it. I couldn’t stop blushing, and I hope I wasn’t staring too much but I couldn’t look away. Just thinking about it makes me feel like i’m overheating, but not in a bad way.

I asked Tiddol about that, as I figured she might know more than Mest, and she gave me a sly, knowing smile before reminding me about our previous discussion on puberty and then told me, rather wickedly, to wait until I start bleeding. That freaked me out more than a little so I asked Mest, who proceeded to burst out laughing, saying ‘purly mana based creatures don’t bleed, there’s no reason for them too.’ That seemed to annoy Tiddol, who got indignant about it, at least I think that’s the right use of the word.

So yeah, puberty. Exciting and more than a little scary, I hope Mest is right, bleeding doesn’t sound like fun.

Anyway, Good NIght Diary.
