Jarzen hasn't popped up again since the one run in, so I'm being hopeful that he's either gotten over whatever drove him to pursue me, or that he's effectively dealt with by star fleet and their temporal investigations team. Mama wants to meet Travis, and even though I really am not sure he's ready for my family of Klingons, he overheard her asking to meet him, and agreed before I could make some excuse.

Mara and Korth's wedding is in a week, so we're taking time off to go. Blue's been trying to work with him on weapons and combat, but I've seen five year olds pick up use of a weapon quicker than Travis, I really don't think he's suited to combat. Hopefully my brothers will go easy on him, I don't need another bitter ex that's scared of my family. At least he can handle the food, so he'll be able to hold his own at the wedding. I know Korth and Mara have lots of non-Klingon friends, so luckily Travis and I won't stick out as much.

I know I'm not the only one annoyed that Toby hasn't returned from wherever he went yet. Last time I talked to Korth, he'd asked me if I'd heard from Toby, as he was hoping Toby could be his Tawi'Yan. I think Korth settled on a sibling or cousin for the role, but I also think he's hoping for Toby to show up still.

Mara's frustrated about it, since she knows how much it would mean to Korth to have Toby in the wedding, but they both agreed they couldn't arrange their lives around someone who left with little more than a good-bye, no forwarding address, and no idea of when he'd be back.

Usually when I go back to Qo'noS, I try to do everything I can to hide I'm different, but I've gotten really used to just being myself and the attention I get when I feature my unique assets instead of hiding them. When I asked Mara what she thought, she encouraged me to just be myself. She thinks that if I stop hiding and trying to blend in, I might get more respect despite being different. I still haven't found a dress for the wedding, so I'll keep that in mind when I go shopping.

Travis seems to be looking forward to the visit, and I'm not sure if it's because he doesn't know what he's in for, or if despite his lack of weapon and combat skill, he just likes Klingons. I suppose I'll find out, and just in case I'll find somewhere to tuck my regenerator so it's on hand at all times.
