Four winters, so four years, and things have changed. For starters, I have finally caved to Luy's persistence, and we are now a couple. It is a strange thing that wherever I am, I now have someone I care for with me. I am not sure if I should be doing this, but it is too late now. Luy is a beautiful woman, and I am lucky to have her. She is also getting better at chess, she even beat me once. Along with the interested members of the tribe.   

The rest of the tribe seems to be okay with this development, and I am glad it did not upset anyone. That is the last thing I wanted after spending this long with the tribe. But that fear was misplaced, and the tribe is content. A very good thing, and I am not marrying Luy yet and I am taking it nice and easy. I am not one to rush into things.  

Though there have been other developments that Kun has been worried about, other tribes. Mainly the bigger ones, and while there have not been clashes yet. Kun has been asking me about what knowledge I have that could help the tribe. I thought long and hard, and while I can think of ideas for weapons to make. I do not know how to make them, like a crossbow, for example. Though I wonder how a mounted crossbow handles with nomadic people who have never used it. Still, I told him some ideas and even suggested an alliance with another tribe. Which he has been thinking about, and has ideas. Either the Lokon or the Toran tribes, or both, I suggested. I have to admit that I am not much one for politics, especially nomadic ones, but I will aid Kun to the best of my ability. 

Kun decided to try to ally with the Lokon tribe and sent a messenger to arrange a meeting. I hope it goes well, and for now. I am figuring out what I can do to help the tribe if conflict does happen. I have many ideas, but focusing on the ones that are viable for nomads. I know some about nomads from history and kinda their tactics. I am not an expert on nomads, my focus was on Greeks and Romans. 

Still, I have to do something and not just lie around. I care about this tribe and its people. So I will think and strategize with the more militant members of the tribe. I wonder how the tribe will take to metal armor and if the horses can handle that. Just some ideas, and with Luy at my side. I will try, maybe war may not happen, but it does not hurt to be prepared.
