Day Eight
Well… I have a little creature now. And Elle has given me this book to write about it in... Apparently he was keeping a journal thing for it, oh... its called Periwinkle... That’s probably in here already somewhere… but I still have to make sure I remember that. It’s currently clinging onto my shoulders trilling along to ‘Mr Brownstone’ by Guns N Roses… At least Elle got it to have good taste in music… even if it is a little bit floral. Seems kinda cute though I guess I don’t really know what I’ll do with it yet though… we’ll just have to see. Elle should be coming over later any way, so I’m sure we’ll have some fun with that.

Day Nine
Yesterday was crazy… apparently the two little Undera (as Elle told me they’re called) missed each other after one night apart as they spent most of yesterday gallivanting around my apartment pretty well upending all of my meagre possessions. But I guess they had fun.
Elle told me about where they come from and the Christmas ball he went to… it all sounds a little unbelievable… but then again I have periwinkle to prove its real really don’t I?
He’s sleeping clinging round my feet at the moment, as I sit here writing, I don’t think its going to take too much getting used to really…

Day Ten
Wrong. I was very wrong! It’s going to take way more getting used to than I thought… My land lord gave me permission to redecorate today… and the little thing took way too much of a liking to the large tins of paint I hate. I had two dropped on my toes and one mostly splattered over the majority of the living room.
This thing needs to learn some manners… I don’t know how Elle coped with two of them for as long as he did! Peri’s crazy!
He doesn’t look it though... Sleeping around my soft toy dog like a little child… but the smell of white spirit that I’m using to clean most of my appliances is testimony to there being more than meets the eye about him.

Day Eleven
More cleaning today, paint, paint, paint. I don’t think this place is ever going to be clean... well… it will, I’m just grateful that the landlord doesn’t do property checks or anything. I’d certainly be kicked out as he doesn’t like pets either… and I’m not really sure what category to file Periwinkle under.
Elle might be coming over to help me clean soon, he’s had to work recently, but its definitely good to have him back. Peri always gets excited when he come’s over, I think the little thing misses him somewhat… but you can never be sure really. Its started speaking a lot more though. Apparently this is good… It pokes me and says toast when it wants food now… mainly I think because that was what I was eating when it first leant to ask… I’ll have to get around to teaching it the right word at some point.
And I really need to stop calling him it. I’ll give him a complex if I’m not careful.
He also says things like Outdoors, bed, window, toys… just things like that, but he’s getting better, its hard work working around him, I work in a occult shop, but its not too bad as the hours aren’t that long each day, and it gives me easily enough to pay the rent on top of all I have in savings.

Day Twelve
We finally got most of the paint cleaned up… It took forever and I don’t think I’m ever going to get the smell out of my clothes, but at least I can actually set to painting now.
I’ve had a chat with Peri today as well and he seems to be willing to cooperate with me a little more… he even replied with
“Uhkay Faye!”
Not quite the name I was hoping for, but it’ll do, I guess it’s because that’s what Elle’s always called me. Hmm. Anyway, soon enough my walls will be a nice red and black with a pleasant panelled effect. I look forward to it.

Day Thirteen
Elle and I took the little undera to the beach today. It was mostly deserted as the weather wasn’t so wonderful, and we managed to find a little cove where there were literally no other people. Peri seemed to love it. He half buried himself in the sand a number of times, and poked at the water, he didn’t seem to sure about that, but I get the idea he’s some kind of plant… so he wouldn’t like salt water really, would he…? He liked building towers and castles, and we’ve come home with quite the collection of stones and sea shells… he was quite shocked on the beach when he found out that one such shell still contained a resident, the hermit crab fascinated him for a good half hour, which meant I got to sit and have a nice conversation with my brother. It’s defiantly good to be around him again, he seems to be somewhat happier.
This is good.

Day Fourteen
Peri seemed really upset today… and I really don’t know why. He kept clinging onto me and just saying ‘Sad! Peri Sad Faye.” Over and over again, and I couldn’t find out what was wrong with him… Either way he’s quieted down again, he’s sleeping in my lap, quietly now, and he even seems to be smiling again. I’m pleased because I spent the whole of today really convinced that he was going to cry… it was really distressing actually. I like it much better when he’s happy. Maybe I’ll phone Elle later to see if Illiam’s been the same way… who knows…?

Day Fifteen
Peri seems to have cheered up again now… but he’s been getting so grumpy. Not badly.. just… he can go from really clingy to completely sulky and surly in just a few minutes… kinda reminds me of Elle at puberty… that shouldn’t amuse me as much as it does, he’ll kill me if he ever reads this… hmm… I hope Peri will be okay, I’m getting really attached to the little guy now I think about it, I’d really miss him if he went up and vanished on me.
I’ve got a couple of days off work now, they’re having some refurbishment work done at the shop so they don’t need me, but its paid vacation, so I’m not complaining. I spent today sitting on the sofa with Periwinkle mostly in my lap teaching him to recognise words and read a little. We were reading through a random magazine I found, I think I need to go shopping and buy him some new books really… learning all about home care wont really benefit him that that much… but oh well!

Day Sixteen
Peri made me laugh so much today! Then he sulked at me for laughing at him… but it was totally worth it… He was trying to float around the house while wearing my real leather trench coat. It was so sweet! It was too heavy for him and he kept sinking. But oh well, I have a cruel sense of humour and I know it well. I got him some cookie dough ice cream though, and now he seems to love me again, so it’s all good! Bless him… I don’t know how I got through without him now! It must have been so lonely! I can see why Elle was happier than I thought he would be when I arrived, these little things have a way of making you smile!
Periwinkle can now say please and thank you without me reminding him and he strings some fairly coherent sentences together. It’s actually fairly impressive, like having a conversation with a young child…

Day Seventeen
I did go and get those books for him in the end, only this morning, but we got on really well with them! He seems to be fairly bright and he was able to recognise a lot of the words. It was fairly strange watching this odd little creature reading form a ‘puddle lane’ book that I got cheap in a charity store, along with some others. I read to him after that, The Hobbit grabbed his attention quite well, which made me smile, he really is a sweet thing, and he lounged over the back of my sofa as I read, occasionally tumbling off over the back or over into my lap. Elle came over that evening and I read to the lot of them, Elle is still such a child some times, but oh well; you can’t force people to change.

Day Eighteen.
I got to pop to the bank today; Mum worked out that I’ve been looking out for Elle and randomly sent me some money for him and I… I’ll et us some things together later… I think he might be moving in with me soon… I’ve met Caspian at last… he seems… interesting. He tells me that Peri and Illiam could actually become something like him one day… a guardian for us instead of us guardians for them in some weird way… I don’t know. Its unusual… but it might be fun!
Anyway. I need to get going now or I’ll never get back, and I don’t like leaving Periwinkle on his own for too long. Maybe I’ll pick Elle up on the way through and get him out of the house for a bit. We talk on the phone and MSN way more than we do in person, its sad.
