The past couple days have been rather dull. Lydia returned home and I've been taking part in drills and assessments with the other Stormcloak recruits. Most of these recruits have never even held a sword, let alone fought with one. Once I sparred with a couple of them, I was quickly pulled away and asked to help with the training. Normally I wouldn't mind, I actually enjoyed tutoring at the college, but I'm trying to keep a low profile here. I can't have it be known that the Dragonborn has joined the Stormcloaks, otherwise the Empire will likely attack Whiterun, my home, negating the primary reason for me joining this war in the first place.
Thankfully, nobody seems to think I'm anything other than a regular recruit. I just need to keep it that way, but that means continuing to stay at the inn instead of the barracks, and without anyone to really talk to, my thoughts keep going back to Calixto, back to the murders. Could I have done better? I feel like I should have done better. Two more people died because of my mistake. Is this how it will always be? No matter how hard I try, people will still suffer? What if there's more I could do?
