Entry Forty Two

Dear Diary,

I haven't been keeping up on my diary entries as there simply hasn't been anything new to report on. There still haven't been any new dungeon visitors, it's just David, Alice, Avorn, and Camellia each and every day. I work hard to train in swordsmanship each and every afternoon and then go upstairs to spend time with my pixies. Avorn and Camellia pay their rent on time and don't cause any sort of disturbance, so things have been peaceful on that front.

I'm still feeling frustrated by David as it's clear he hasn't even been trying. He brings me things like random pebbles or an acorn for his nightly tribute, which is worth so little to the dungeon that it's almost not worth anything at all. I'm seriously thinking about canceling the contract with David as soon as possible. I'll likely have to maintain my side of the deal with no traps on the first floor for all of eternity, but I should be able to avoid interacting with David for any longer than necessary. I just have to wait for Theodore to show up to the dungeon first so I can inform him of want I want.

I know it is likely just a difference in our perception of time, but he doesn't exactly visit very often. Even when he said he'd visit more often, it was only once every week or so. Now whole weeks can go by without him showing up and I just never know when he'll next show up. I wasn't exactly born as an immortal, so I'm used to the way things were for humans in my old world. God, that feels like such a weird way to address myself. Anyhow, I grew up being told it was important to keep in touch with people if you cared about them. That tended to mean texting them anywhere from every day to several times a year depending on just how important your relationship was. An inlaw you were just being polite towards, but didn't have a particularly close relationship with, could be ignored save for holiday dinners a few times a year and the occasional family reunion.

The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

I had a good relationship with my parents and Lee's, so we tended to take turns visiting our families once a month or so. We still preferred to have weekends to relax together and didn't want to spend all our money on gas. His parents lived an hour away in one direction with mostly highway driving whereas mine lived on the outskirts of the city we lived in. It allowed us to have our privacy and we never had to worry about running into them while going about our normal lives, but it also made it easy to visit them when we were feeling up to it.

Anyway, I guess it just feels strange to have someone who can literally teleport between dungeons not be willing to stop in for a visit, at least, once a week. If something did go wrong with the dungeon right now, it's unlikely anything would be done about it in time for it to matter. There aren't adventurers who can report on any potential issues, just David who very clearly doesn't want to be here. You know what? I'm just going to end this here as I'm just making myself paranoid and frustrated.
