Squall called today. He sounds... off. As if he has gone through more hardships than the recent Sorceress War. What he said to Laguna worries me. Attacks? Now? Are we even ready for such? Is Esthar? I hate to admit it but we're still too involved with "peace." It's not Laguna's fault. We all need this relief after Time Compression but we should be more ready.

Ward and I spared today. I'm still as good as I was twenty years ago. I wonder if Laguna is the same. He has really became lazy. Then again, who knows? There surely has to be something he does when he's not in his office working on the paperwork I provide him. I can't keep an eye on him 24/7, that's too much for my "old" bones to handle. Speaking of which, I better make sure he is finishing up the last piles of papers I handed to him only a few hours ago. He better not be playing hooky again.
