Raptures? Goodness. What a delightful compliment.
If you ever admire something that is no longer in stock, or would like something made to match it, let me know, I keep a lot of my molds and can happily reproduce items in different metals and gems.
Raptures! I love it!

I like paintings a lot, it is a thing that really makes the creativity of people a thing which another can look at!

Okay, enough ups and downs for this week. I'd like a little bit of boring for a bit, I think.

I finally decided to let something go. My heart feels lighter and I feel that is good, going into the days ahead my mind won't be distracted by the ill I was feeling. It's better this way as I need to be focused for my fellows. For now I'm preparing and training. Giving small lessons in sailing when I can as well.

An addendum to my previous white journal. I still have no intention to become entirely domesticated. But as it happens, being a field commander and committed to leading from the front ensures this isn't a risk. Food will always taste better cooked over an open fire and the smell of woodsmoke in one's hair is the finest perfume the world can offer.

I like the city the way it is. Keeps me entertained.

There is nowhere that sends me into raptures more than Atelier Joscelin. I spent a good part of my day there yesterday, staring appreciatively at every sparkle to catch my eye. It has taught me the value of saving my coin, expressly for the purpose of owning such works of art and beauty.
Soon, sweet necklace. Soon.

My days and nights have been spent drilling with my Rangers. Sometimes I look up and discover that whole weeks have gone by without any concern other than how to improve myself and the men and women who have been placed in my care. It was a far easier thing to plan for my own trips, my own travel, my own interests. On the road, there was only me to look after and I could do as whim and circumstances dictated. But now I am a commander and so I begin to learn what it is to live for others. To live and work and train so that when push comes to shove, they live. When I do sleep, my dreams concern themselves with what will happen if I fail... the blood they'll spill for my mistakes.
I thought the world was open to me when I pursued only my own will but now I see I overlooked... no, I missed seeing entirely so much that was right there to learn and discover. Responsibilities are roots and not the strangling vines they seemed to be when I was younger.

It is a fine line between passion and anger and if someone would like to write a how-to guide on walking it, I would absolutely host that in the Gilded Page.

For some reason, I believe I thought the name of our King was Alarizard. Perhaps I've had too much tea.

I mean, yes, there are SOME segments of the family that do something other than wine.
But OUR PARENTS. Wine.
Delilah.

This city would probably be a lot more enjoyable if people would just relax and stop taking every little joke or insult to heart as though it's the worst thing that's ever been said by anybody ever.
More duels, less angst.

Well. Not all other names. One of my guards is named Carter and the other says his name is Tim. Those don't sound like real names to me.

Niklas and Nicholaus and Alaric are all wonderful names and anyone who has them should be proud to bear such gloriousness!
All other names are also great!

Niklas is a proud Islander name which stretches back to Prince Niklas Thrax, the Oathkeeper of Maelstrom, Hero of the Stony Shores, the Beacon of Rockkeeper Cove! (Which was taken by pirates after he died, so clearly he was VERY GOOD AT HIS JOB!)
Nicholaus is some nonsense some Crownlanders came up with because they were bored and didn't want to name another son Alaric.
(No offense to Prince Nicholaus, who seems to be a perfectly nice fellow.)
(Or to Alaric, who is a great king, long may he reign, but who has to admit that there are plenty of kids being named Alaric these days. It's all Alarics or Alarions or Alariuses or Alarichards now.)

Niklas and Nicholaus are two VERY DIFFERENT NAMES.
