Unrest

I have been feeling a little uneasy lately. I will become anxious for no reason periodically. Seems this is affecting my pets as well. I can feel the tension in Jorge, and he seems to feel being watched.  I have also learned that something is following Jim. This adds concern to my feeling and what I understand from Jorge. I don't want anything to happen to Jorge, and will do what I can to protect him.

Jim on the other hand has brought some undue attention to himself. Due to his affiliations, this is not a good thing. Our leader has asked that he be watch more carefully, and brought back into protection by his father and I. His father takes responsibility for most of his actions, and I am willing to let him do so. Jim can be a handful, but he is capable of making his own decisions. Being nearly as new as him in the society, it feels better that his father remind him what our society will tolerate and what it will not. I will do what I can to assist him, but he has a will of his own and should be allowed to use it. Even if it brings his slumber.

In other business, members of our society were gathered for a peaceful eventing when social insults caused one member to loose his temper. This resulted in the scandal and social status stripping of both members. It is not acceptable to provoke someones temper, or to lose control of it in most situation. Practice in maintaining composure is vital for our society to coexist with the rest of the world. One of the members is our Sheriff, and has appeared much closer to nature than when I first met him. I believe the stress of the job as affected him adversely. This saddens my heart, as we twist into the nature of our internal beast, we lose what it was that connected us to the world. It makes it harder for us to sustain our society.
