Sledding. Of all the things in the world, he took me sledding.
How can I not adore him for this?
It's times like this that remind me of how much I miss the North.
Thank you again, my dearest missere. I cannot wait until our next adventure.

Elated. Hopeful. So very grateful.
This is how I feel after the generosity shown by so many who came to support the Golden Hart’s recent Pennants Ball in support of those affected by the devastating attack upon Thrax ships in our harbour.
I am so very happy to report that the event was hugely successful, and a remarkable number of people rallied behind the cause, helping us to raise more than 1,280 economic writs as well as an additional 706 on military writs to assist those affected by this terrible tragedy. It is truly wonderful thing to see and so very needed during this dark and trying time.
My heart is always deeply touched by the generosity and good will of the people in this city and successful events such as these cannot be done alone.
There are so many I would like to thank, but in particular I would like to acknowledge the work of the lovely and generous Princess Alarissa for helping me to host Pennant Ball and for joining me in vowing that all donations raised under her name will be gifted to the cause. Her vivacious spirit and tireless support of this good work inspires me.
I would also like to extend my heartfelt thanks and deepest appreciation to the following good people who helped us raise the more than 700 military writs and an additional 55 economic writs for the cause:
Princess Alis Valardin, Lord Dame Alexis Wyrmfang, Artorius Malvici, Mistress Korka Glynn, Duchess Lydia Nightgold on behalf of House Nightgold, Misser Tarik Morien, Prince Talen Velenosa, Sister Thena Grayhope on behalf of the Knights of Solace and Lord Wash Kennex
Your kindness and grace in a time of great need humbles me. Thank you so very much for your compassion and generosity.
I love the people of this realm with all my heart. I am so proud to serve you and stand with you. Thank you to everyone who attended our event and were so generous with their time and donations to this and other charitable activities across the city.
Alone we can do so little, but together we can do so much.
Hold fast.

Pockets full of lovely lucky stars. So many more than I thought there would be. But they make such a charming sound and sparkle so prettily.
I hope they are well received and enjoyed at tonight's event. More importantly, I hope they do what they are intended to do.
The more luck we have, the better I think.

It never fails to warm my heart to see people come together for a good cause. Truly, we are stronger together than apart.
In light of the recent and terrible losses suffered by the House Thrax and its peoples, the Golden Hart has taken up the cause to help with their recovery and will be hosting the Pennants Ball, a night of good will and support for the people who have been harmed by this awful incident.
It is our greatest hope that this event will help rally all of Arx so that we may come together and once again stand strong during this dark and trying time.
I am always so thankful when people rise to the occasion. I hope tomorrow's night event is no exception. So far we have received generous assistance from Princess Alarissa in preparing for the event and I’m sure more will come forward to support us in this.
I fear that dark times are returning to our realm. Perhaps darker than we know and we will need to stand together like never before. I cannot say how much such kindness, generosity and unity touches my heart and gives me hope.
Now to see that our stars are properly blessed so that our guests will have a little more luck in their lives.
I think this might be a most excellent party and for such a good cause. I cannot wait to see everyone.

Small victories.

Relationship Note on Donella
It is sweet to read of Princess Donella's introduction to the North and some of it makes me smile.
I will fully admit it takes some getting used to, but I think she will fall in love with the north as much as I did. There is something wild and beautiful about the heart of the north. It's seen in the land and its people. Gods, I miss it even now.
Once the north holds a piece of your heart, part of you always remains with it. And for that I am glad. No matter where I go or what happens, I will always love the north and her people. Though if you had asked me when I first got there I would have given a different answer.
At least her introduction is being done voluntarily and out of love among those who know and care for her. Their warmth and kind care will offer safe harbour until she finds her own way.
I wish her the greatest life, luck and love in this.
Gods, this makes me miss it and Angus even more. So silly of me.

Welcome Prince Donato of House Velenosa. You are so very, very welcome.
I hope your life is full of happiness and that you never feel sorrow or pain. I hope you are kissed by luck and embraced by love for all your days.
I hope you have a quick mind and a brilliant wit. I hope you always have the respect you deserve. I hope your dreams are beautiful and even if adversity finds you that you are able to rise above and overcome with style and grace.
I hope you are well loved and treated kindly, and that you treat others with generous kindness, but not so much you are taken advantage of.
I hope whatever mark you will make on this world will be one that you will be proud of.
I hope you will always know how much you are wanted and loved.
Please be happy little prince.

Another new year and another fresh start.
I cannot believe it has arrived so quickly. Though, in truth, I like the feeling of a fresh page to write news stories and new futures on.
Just so, I have high hopes for this year. I have a wonderful feeling it will be filled with remarkable things. The city seems to be waking up again. I cannot wait to see where I will go and where the fortunes of good friends and beloved family will flow. I pray that their hearts will be happy and their minds at ease. That troubles find good resolve and that good things will be more than abundant.
And so, here's to to Life, Luck and Love.... and to a very beautiful and hopeful new year to one and all.

I wish people would scale down all the fish and sea puns. It's getting harder and harder to tuna them out.
Don't want to appear to be hooking anyone into a debait, but I feel I must say something, though it seems that I'm floundering with my words.
I suppose one must reel in the judgement on such things, though I hope it fin-ishes soon.

Yet more gone. It's a wonder any of us are still here. Though I suppose in some ways many of us are not.

I hope this will be the last of this for some time.
I hope for a lot of impossible things.

What I am about to write should in no way be considered a detraction or slight to those who have received lauding and praise for their recent acts. If anything it is to add to this appreciation as an offering to the many who have not yet received such grace or recognition.
To those who quietly served, fought, supported and scarified without grand notice, what you have graciously given to all of us is not what is engraved in stone monuments, issued in ornate medals, or offered at elegant parties with grand speeches. Your generous gifts are what is woven into the fabric of our city and the lives of others.
Gratitude.

Our first masquerade! I cannot explain how excited and happy I am that it was a great success.
My heart skips beat when I think of all the guests who attended. Such excellent company I could not ask for. The masks so beautiful, so mysterious and yet so alluring. The conversations, the dancing and the laughter. The garden filled with music and light. Such a moments took my breath away.
It was such delight and success I think we might have to host a masquerade at the start of each season for the Hart. There was such magic in the air. Such starlit nights make for such beautiful memories. And the more beautiful memories we have the better, I think.
I am so grateful to those who joined us in making an offering of light to this city so we could honour our people's strength and those who saw us through this dark times and to celebrate the light we have found again. Yes, we must rebuild, but in this there is new hope for more light than ever.
In truth I don not know exactly who all attended, but I suppose that is part of the fun. But to each I am so grateful. I cannot wait to have you in my Hart again and I cannot wait to see this this city and its people blossom.
I cannot wait to dance again. <3

Relationship Note on Shadow
Dear gods, what have I said yes to.
The wedding of my cousin and his beloved draws near and I have been called on to assist Shadow with preparations for the ceremony.
Of course I said yes. How could I not? I feel rather protective of this mountain of a man from the North, though in truth he could snap me (and likely half the city) in two, if he had mind to. But there is an honest gentleness there and something about him that makes me determined to see to his well being and to keep him from harm.
And so I have agreed. Thought this may prove more complicated than both of us bargained for.
In truth, I am not sure how it will go, but I remain optimistic for a happy result. I think we will both be pleasantly surprised.
I just hope we both survive the process.

Relationship Note on Antonio
I am so happy I think my heart might burst! My most brilliant and beloved brother has returned!
I have not seen him for so long, but like always he returns to me with a glint in his eye and something to make me smile. He does not realize that it is his return that makes me so happy and not what he brings, but who am I to argue.
It is so wonderful to know that even though we have been parted for so long, things remain the same between us in so many ways. So much so that I am duly reminded that I must be more strategic when selecting my footwear while in his company.
He is everything I could wish for in a brother, and a few things that I do not. Which makes him nearly perfect. And, I would not trade him for all the world. And no, I will also never admit this to him... not today, anyway.
Welcome home, my sweetest brother. For me, having you here is the best gift ever, though I think you may never believe me no matter how true it is or how many times I say it.
