I got to play with one of the kitchen-maid's babies today. Her first, about ten months old, she says. It's a muffin in a dress and it coos and giggles and smiles no matter what I do. It all started with pretending to be a dog and snuggling at her neck and her hair (it seemed to be a good place to start). I paused on her eyeball, snuffling at it with my nose and that brought out the most of the laughter. Lots of pulling at my hair too, I should have expected that but puppies don't have hands.
Still. I liked her. I look forward to a dozen such siblings, Papa-Norwood and Mother. Get on it.

Relationship Note on Ouida
My sister has returned and with that return she has already seen about trying to run my life. Of course I say this is the adoration that siblings share and while I admit it has been bumpy, there are many resources that I hand over to her willingly so as to have another set of eyes on the current endeavors that Harthall is expanding into.
I trust her and I am looking forward to the skills and results that she brings to the table.

An addendum to my last: Human puppies that -aren't mine-.

Relationship Note on Violet
Hiring the Crimson Blades to perform a substantial expedition has been one of my more positive endeavors. I have been pleasantly surprised with their professionalism and their conduct during their work and the tact that had been applied during the course of the adventure per se. I shall look forward to hiring them again soon.

We have puppies in two stages: the cute adorable still-mostly-stuck-in-a-pen kind, and the chew-through-everything-cute-bark-impersonating-dumplings-on-legs kind. They are sweet and fun at these stages, but I rather like them as more sedate grown-ups. I can trust Daegmund to curl up with me and nap and not worry about him getting stuck in my boot while I'm trying to sleep.

We do. I would rather not explain the full details here, for obvious reasons, but mine involved a number of foods and drinks that easily stain, white cotton, reciting a list of rules, all while listening to a conversation and being grilled on both knowledge of what was discussed and what might happen if it gets out after.
For extra challenge, may I suggest she try doing it one-handed? Extra points for singing and dancing.
Week two of Whisper training is undoubtedly a difficult one.

Now one thing I will give all those silks some proper praises for - they do have all the best trainers and training. If you want to learn something, even if it's down and dirty, a silk probably knows all about it. Probably just for the sake of knowing about it...

She is the kind of servant which makes me want to develop some sort of servant gauntlet course just so I can wager and brag when she wins. Mayhap House Whisper has something like that.

Got me a copy of Mistress Perronne's Merchant Almanac.
Don't reckon I've had many books that weren't just for fun reading, but as I don't travel much myself, this may well help with expanding the business.

On the plus side however - all the folks talking means that I do get to hear a lot. Sliks do love to talk - and they end up talking about absolutely anyone and anything. It's like they can't help themselves when they're trying to do anything. They just talk, and talk, and talk.

Dearest Adoptive Grandparents,
I am just writing to see how you are. I have no grand stories for you. Since I keep to a small area.
No, wait, I do have one. Princess Coraline, she is quite grand, had me attend a display with her. It was a man who was selling cures and what have you. Many doubted his skills but I didn't. I am sure he really just wanted to help people. The show he put on was quite a wonder, tough. I can't recall his name.
Anyways, I shall have to write you again another day. I have some work to finish off.
With love,
Sheena

I don't mind it when folks come into the shop, but I'll tell you that I do absolutely hate it when folks come into the shop to talk or natter rather than actually buy something. I hate talking as a general rule, and all the senseless nattering just makes me want to put a rusty nail up my nose.

Dearest Scholars,
I decided to write to you this time. Someone who's journals I read wrote about siblings. So, because this person wrote of siblings I thought I would put in on this subject that has apparently been going around.
I ave no siblings. Until my adoptive grandparents took me in I had no family. Which, I suppose, is not uncommon for a thrall? I don't know, honestly. I did not spend much time around people when I was younger. I preferred, and still do, to just keep with a small circle of friends or doing sewing. I don't really know what family is, truth be told. I bear the name Coldrain but I don't know that it is really a thing for me. Except my adoptive grandparents I don't really know any of them.
Perhaps if I have a child I will understand what family is. I am not sure, though. I will probably just continue to wonder what family is. I don't really think any will wish someone who more often than not flees from people as a potential wife.
With Regards,
Sheena

I would like to thank everyone that sent me a gift on Grayson Gift Day! I was overwhelmed with everyone's kindness and well wishes! It has certain been an incredibly busy week, ending in a wonderful Grayson Family dinner where there were new and familiar faces and I just was delighted by everyone and everything said. It really just is such a great feeling to have friends and family all on one place for no other reason than to share each other's company!
And I got to meet the newest addition to the family who is just darling! And makes me more excited to meet our little one and I was already pretty impatient to begin with!
I have such high hopes for the future, even with everything I hear that is happening. There are so many amazing people in this city, I just know everything will turn out well in the end.

I'm with you, Partner. I may not give gifts often, but when I do it's with careful thought and a sincere hope that it makes the other person happy, or at least amused. Glad you liked yours!
Please note that the scholars may take some time preparing your journal for others to read.
