Not even a full two weeks back, and already I remember the things I love about this city. And a few of the things that I don't love.

I have always been on the opinion that if there is something you strongly wish for that you at least try.

Of late, I feel as if there is an emptiness in my life.

Like I have lost something important to me. I do not know what to do about it. I feel unanchored and adrift.

Relationship Note on Ysbail

There is a shaman whose looks I could not get out of my head. I tried my hand, again, at painting...I really should just stick to masks and archery. Those are my skills. Leading too if all the evidence is to be believed. But painting? No...the colors escaped me and I fear it looks...well...wrong. I am sorry Ysbail, I could not do you justice. I highly recommend Jyri or Mae. They both have done some amazing things. What does one do with art they are not proud of and do not wish to give away either? I don't wish to insult Jayus! I guess I will have to go and inquire because this is...my worst. But I needed something to take my mind off things for awhile. And it was enjoyable. Till I added color. Why did I add color?

So much counting.

The election ends tomorrow. I'm excited to post the final results!

With the matters of weather with the many other things that seem to be happening, I will likely be needing to plant more flowers to make up for the winter. I am hoping to find a good flower shop.

A shooting star! Usually I think there is nothing more lovely than seeing the stars, but seeing them last night after so many days of rain and snow made them just dazzling! You never realize how much you miss something until it is presented to you once again. I even took Relara out (all bundled up of course!) during one of her feedings so she could see them. She seemed just as taken with them as I was. She is surely a future poet or story teller or star chaser or all of the above!

Evenings like this, when the world is still and the stars are sparkling, they are completely magical!

Are you taking advantage of her last gift to us? Are you living?

This cold is dreadful and business still needs be done even though my head feels stuffed to bursting and the pressure. Nor that no matter how close to the fire I get, I still feel chilled. I suppose this fits in with the mood. Or did fit in with the mood. One last meeting nad then I shall go drag my sorry corpse to hide in my bedchambers and pray this departs swiftly.

Relationship Note on Dora

My cousin is mistaken. I do not like to hurt people. It is a necessary part though of who I am though and I am exceedingly good at it. Hopefully she will learn that just having a very fine weapon is not enough. Focus. Footwork. Practice your strikes. Maybe next time you may land a tellng blow?

I have never so strongly wished to see someone's next of kin need to execute someone's will.

First time for everything.

Relationship Note on Eilonwy

(This journal was released posthumously after the death of then Marquis Geraint Blackwood by the Scholars of Vellichor)

While I shall not rule out revising this in the coming years, this stands as my final will and testament to House Blackwood and the Compact, and may none gainsay it. I do hearby name my longstanding Voice Eilonwy, a commoner of distinction, as a Blackwood, with the full rank and privileges as a member of noble blood. Further, she shall be my heir, for her distinguished service in leading this house, and shall become Marquessa of the Storm March upon my passing. Let it be done."

I don't know who compiled the Doctrine of Death. I would like to thank them, wherever they may be. I contend that its descriptions give a better insight into the faith than I ever expected. Had no idea how pivotal a Harlequin was to the act of just living. Not only caretakers of the dead, but they celebrate being what we are, who we are, on our own terms. At least that's what I took away from it. I could be completely wrong on every level.

Giving me plenty of room for thought. Be who you are to the fullest.

Missed all the excitement of the clocktower after getting Day Drunk and passing out with the crew in the Lowers, then the sky pissed on us all week, and now it's /snowing again?!/

The Terrapin hates the snow, she always complains under the load, but...least it's not giving us those funny rashes anymore, I suppose!

Relationship Note on Domonico

You're thinking about this all wrong my fellow captain. Proper rank and privilege have nothing to do with the number of ships or how impressive they are under your command, it's about structure. If you command a ship you're a captain whether that is a rowboat or a caraval. If you command a fleet, you're a commodore and if you command the navy you are an admiral.

That is why I, Armani Gilden am the high admiral of the Gilden navy and will remain so long as we have a single plank that can remain afloat!

A flash of lightning, thunder to seal us all together in what we all felt in that grand hall.

Let it never be said that the Gods lack a taste for some properly dramatic moments.

The songs were beautiful, as always...I don't fully remember if this is so, the last week has been a bit of a sleepless blur, but I think I actually refused myself a good cry for the whole week until that somber reprise of Copper's song.

A shame, that. Tears have their place as a healing salve.

I let the stars carry me after to where I needed to be, and to my great fortune tears were not the only one I was given that night.

Let's all remember what we sang together.

As usual, Princess Sorrel has a way to move a crowd. And there was a crowd, a very large one, at her performance. Originally scheduled for Silver alone, she added an additional performance of her ode to Copper, which was just as lovely as the first time.

But far more poignant.

The rain has now stopped, and the sky was absolutely breathtaking. It feels as though the sadness has eased its grip a little, though it is still there.

I went to Ashford House, walked back with Lady Olivia after the event. And then spent some time there, visiting. We sat out and watched the sky, so glad to see it after all that has happened.

It's a heartwarming night when your wife tells you she chose you for your adequacy.

And other reasons too, yes. I'm glad it stopped raining when it did. It made me feel hopeful, grateful. Maybe a little less scared.

I feel I have a hundred hearts and they have all been shattered.

People speak of hope. This is wise. I hear. I listen. I still feel broken. My tears spring back each time I push them away. If I don't smile today or tomorrow or the next day, please be patient with me. Share your faith with me and the others who hurt. Share your hope. Share your love.

I'm listening.
I hear you.

Maybe if there are enough words of hope and faith, at least one heart will mend.

It doesn't have to be mine.
