It has been quite a week for matan in a number of quite contrasting ways. He has experienced ups and downs, more downs than ups, but has found his feet again after a particularly bad time for which he only has himself to blame for. Hopefully he will continue to show improvement and move on from the sort of behaviour which has let his Mistress down so much. She has been very tolerant and patient and has had to put up with so much, and matan regrets deeply causing Her so much grief. He is forever in Her debt and one way he can repay Her is by living up to the potential that She spotted in him so long ago.
matan would like to thank the Free of the Inn for putting up with his poor behavior recently. Also matan can not thank Mistress Kateryn and jewel enough for their help and encouragment during this difficult time for him.
