Title: The Very Secret Diary of Kebibi Ahuda
Rating: PG
Word count: ~755
Summary: Secret scribblings of our favourite watch sergeant.
A/N: Set during Terrier, from Tunstall’s diary entry to Beka’s first, or thereabouts.
244 H.E.
14 November: Overheard Goodwin and Tunstall discussing last night’s dinner at Naxen’s Fancy. Never get invited to fancy dinners anymore. Hope they get food poisioning.
245 H.E.
3 January: Been promoted. Yay! Have nice, high desk in Jane Street kennel. Might even get invited to dinner with Lord Provost. Must remember to pick up new pregnancy charm.
Later: No invite from Gershom yet.
4 January: Practising my scowl on new Puppies. Think one wet his britches. Success!
18 February: Throat sore after combat training today. Vinehall forgot his gorget again, useless scut. Squeaks nicely when I shout at him.
Still no dinner invite from Gershom. Getting very old—maybe just forgot. King was going to replace him, before Bold Brass gang got caught. Too bad Vice Provost sent to border.
21 February: Showed Puppies the cages today. Yoav says Vice Provost had a face like a horse’s arse. Maybe Scanran border best place for him. Tried to catch her partner’s eye. No luck.
Didn’t like him anyway.
22 February: Puppies still in cages when I came on watch. Oops.
1 March: Ran into Jakorn before watch. Swear that cracknob’s blind—had to walk by twice! Apparently Lord Provost not sick or dead.
Got stupid pebble in boot on way home. Had to stop and fetch it out in the middle of street, looking like a looby. Some daft brat tried to lift my purse! In better mood after knocking him about a bit.
2 March: Can’t find purse. Damn it.
30 March: Quiet on watch tonight. Spent most of the time planning new ways to torture train Puppies.
1 April: Goodwin and Tunstall invited to dinner with Gershom AGAIN! Offered to join them. No luck.
Later: Not at Naxen’s Fancy.
15 April: Sommat shifty going on with Goodwin and Tunstall. Will investigate further. Hard to do while stuck at desk. Told Yoav all about it at baths. Good ear, though naught between them—she reckons there might be canoodling going on. Ha! Also, not sure Yoav can swim. Kept grabbing at me. Will report more as investigation unfolds.
17 April: Goodwin apparently still happy with her Tom. Yoav clearly has head full of cotton. Watched Goodwin and Tunstall from desk when watch came in. Maybe Scanran border best place for Tunstall too. Funny eyes, and he ain’t no Nyler Jewel!
Must remember to ask Yoav about Jewel, still no luck on that front.
20 April: Kayfer being damned nuisance. Investigation on hold.
3 June: Hate Jane Street kennel. Dogs behind on paperwork. Sitting at desk not fun anymore.
Later: Had quick swill down the street. Desk more fun now.
18 June: Pair of Dogs brought in a mean cove tonight, wanted for a knifing. Dirty bit of scummer, too. Showed him to Puppies. Think they got scared good. Puppies not like they used to make them! Best make changes to combat training. Dogs no use running about with tails between their legs.
21 June: Hurt all over. Training Puppies hard work. Will visit baths later, after nap.
22 June: Got massage from Yoav at baths today. Muscles feel better, all soft. Maybe have another nap.
Apparently Jewel has an eye for men. Life so unfair! Told Yoav I won’t give up yet. Yoav only friend.
1 August: Busy night. Suggested to watch commander that Rats do their own paperwork. Sent back to desk. Hate desk.
12 August: Paperwork keeps falling on floor. Knees sore from getting up and down from chair. Yoav brought me bit of fried fish for snack. Love Yoav.
Goodwin and Tunstall always laughing after watch. Wouldn’t laugh if they did some work!
Paperwork fell on floor again. Hate Goodwin and Tunstall.
29 September: Wish Nyler Jewel liked women.
30 November: Puppies getting better. Jakorn says Lord Provost been eating at home. No more dinners for Goodwin and Tunstall! Why are they always laughing? Needs further investigation. Will set Yoav on it.
2 December: Drunk lot of Rats pulled in tonight. Slipped in scummer and turned ankle. Hate Rats! Felt better after yelling and locking them in cages. Goodwin and Tunstall brought Rats in. Hate them. Tell Yoav all about it at baths tomorrow.
13 December: Spotted Nyler Jewel with woman. Must be sister.
14 December: Yoav says Jewel doesn’t have a sister. Don’t think Yoav and Jewel very close. Gives good massages, though. Heard Goodwin talking about Naxen’s Fancy. Will investigate.
246 H.E.
1 April: Giving Goodwin and Tunstall a Puppy—try and eat fancy dinners with Lord Provost now!
