Well, this morning has certainly been a strange one. I was out behind my shop for some forgotten reason or another, and there was a little girl with a baby... for me! She informed me that the pair of us are 'bound' in some manner, though she was admittedly hazy on the explanations. For now I am assuming the bond is some deep-rooted spiritual matter, for I certainly feel no special feelings when I look at the child, aside from worry. This is something I do not feel prepared for.
The child is... unusual-looking, to say the least, though his personality seems agreeable enough for a baby. He's been very quiet, so quiet that I have yet to hear a peep or any sort of noise from him. I have decided to call the child Chatri, for I have indeed made a promise to raise him well. Offering the child to my dear friend Anvion would be very unseemly, for already she has seven children (though two are nearly full-grown), and one of which was found behind my shop almost a year and a half previous. My, how time flies!
I must be sure to call her, at least. Of course I have several child-raising books at my disposal, but perhaps she can offer me tips. Speaking of calling, I was also offered a number in regards to where Chatri's sister may be found. Most unusual. Perhaps her caretaker has some insight to offer. At the very least I believe it would be wise for the pair to meet. I shall be sure to do it within the next few days. Today, however, I have closed the shop so I may arrange the secondary storage room into a room for Chatri. Furniture and clothing must also be purchased.
Oh my. So much to do today! At least the shop is closed. Hopefully I shall have enough time to conduct my affairs.

My, how time flies! Three weeks have already gone by, and things seem to finally be settling in for the pair of us. Chatri is certainly far simpler to care for than I initially expected.Of course he is certainly a fair amount of work, as all small children are wont to be, but his personality seems to be agreeable and he only fusses when in a true need for something. I feared he was mute at first, but that does not seem to be the case with him. Even so, he's rather quiet-- almost to the point where I nearly forget he's here.
The weather is finally warming up, which is a pleasant change. I must be sure to take Chatri out soon. He would like that, I think. After all, it's so seldom that we leave the shop. Fresh air would do us both a measure of good.
I wonder what would be a good place to take him to. The park is always a good choice, but where else besides that? He's too young for a museum, certainly. Or is he? So many little questions! What I would like to do is find some children of a similar age and get him out to socialize a little. He certainly must have friends. His childhood shall not be as isolated as mine was, that I swear.
Yet at the same time I cannot help but worry. How will he react to such things? Willh e like them? Will he behave poorly, despite my best efforts? Will I do a proper job raising him? So worrying! Yet I do believe I get too far ahead of myself in this. For now, i will simply focus on things as they are now. Oh! And I absolutely must call his sister's guardian. It keeps slipping my mind, as many things do these days. No matter. Things will (hopefully) sort themselves out soon enough. I must remember to be patient.
