I have decided to begin searching for the answers of my past. I may find nothing. I may find everything. I may find that I don't want to know what I found. I tried to go out to sea for some time, despite all the dangers that lurk around the corners. I came from the sea. Where? I do not know. I figure it is the sea that I shall first look.

That sounds like a stunning combination! Fire opals are just so gorgeous. I would LOVE to see them.

Artistic expression comes in many forms. If you wish this painting to be offered at the Shrine of Jayus, please send a messenger. I can think of no higher calling for such a painting once you have gotten to the bottom of its ownership.

Do we really care about someone's past? I'm not sure that we do. Not always, at any rate. What we care about is the person who was able to share that past: the one that makes you want to compare; the one that makes your insecurities burst out. She is like a shadow.
Or maybe it is you who are the shadow.

Relationship Note on Mirari
I find that I must give credit where credit is due.
After months of figuring it out, Ettore and I approached Mistress Mirari about rings to be made. We gave her our vision for what they should look like and while her designs were brilliant, the actual rings themselves turned out to be absolutely breathtaking. I could not have asked for a more beautiful piece of future, for the rings are more than simple pieces of jewelry.

I passed the exam to become a full-fledged physician today. I had an amusing encounter with a child and then had to tell a man that he was dying. Slowly, with just a handful of years left.
Most of my experience has been in the field - splinting broken limbs, cleaning out injuries, stitching people up - and then, usually just for short periods of time. A stop after a duel to tend to an injury. A journey of a few weeks with one bandit attack and a soldier with a funny rash that requires a salve. My time spent in the Lowers clinic seems to be much of the same. Blood, bones, and trauma.
My achievement has been recorded. Back to the shop with me.

You should SEE the Hairpins Dame Ida made for me. Rubicund and fire opal. I wear them almost every day. They are my absolute favorite. Dame Ida is the weaponsmith of choice for House Keaton. We all carry weapons of her make. It is an honor to carry them.

I was very surprised when my ask for improving myself was answered by Prince Edain Valardin. He also asked if I was up to serving as his Champion for an upcoming challenge. Due to the nature of the challenge, jousting, I had to admit that I would not be, perhaps, his best choice as I have not had much experience on horseback. His Highness' generosity shone through as he offered to help me in improving my skill on that front as well.

I'm so glad you're pleased, and I'm happy to see that the high praise is entirely deserved. I bought one of your swords when I had the pleasure of visiting your shop. It's a lovely weapon, so well balanced. And as for your other wares, the daggers and hairpins? Swoon! So beautiful.

Well, now I know why Ellara ran shrieking "BUT" up and down the hall. Except that she was saying BUTT.
Thank you for solving this mystery. I am now somewhat hesitant to look at the walls when I exit the room!

To say I am honored to have been recommended does not really do my feelings justice. My heart was warmed reading this, perhaps especially that I got my very own bullet point! I don't believe that has ever happened before in the whites for me, so I thank you quite sincerely.

Based on the swamp's worth of riotous humor he has created, I believe His Grace the High Lord of the Oathlands may consider his proclamation of today an act of devotion to the Queen of Endings.

This city is MARVELOUS so far. Only a few days in and I've already met some positively wonderful people. And I've discovered have a cousin, which is just about the best thing ever. She's such a treasure.
Bullet points of high points follow in no particular order:
* Was assured of the nutritional benefits of eggs. Sound advice, I suspect.
* Will be answering many questions soon?
* Marveled at the talent of Mistress Petal. That mask she was making was a delight. Masquerade? Intriguing!
* Need to visit the Empyrean to eye up the fanciness of the decor while trying not embarrass dear old Dad.
More bullet points!
* Need nicer clothes. Probably boots too, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
* Need to practice practice practice with the sword. Been lazy.
* Need sword. I hear Dame Ida Ferron is an exceptional blacksmith. Recommended by Father, and he has an eye for fine craftsmanship.
And probably other things I've missed. But so far so good! I'll see how this goes.

It is a common misconception that insult must be deliberate in order to be percieved correctly.
As an experienced diplomat, I can tell anyone who cares to know, that this is not true. It is all too frequent that even if one does not intend offense offense can still be taken. You then have a choice; you can choose to refute the outcome of what you have chosen to say, or you can aknowledge that your intention and the result were not in alignment, and proceed accordingly. This may or may not involve an apology, but quite simply, the best course of action is to take responsibility for what comes out of your mouth, regardless of the intention you put behind it. Perception is valid, and must be acknowledged, or peaceful communication breaks down.

Ah. Duels. They always provide such emotion.
Looking over the whites, the one mistake I see is the declaration that someone has or has not offended Gloria. It is not for a secular man, no matter his power or station, to declare if he has offended the Gods or not. Even in the Faith, it is not for the Templars to declare our own wars righteous, but it is for the Archlector of Gloria, the Legate of Arts or the Dominus to do so.
Consult with the Disciples of Gloria, with Godsworn, with her Archlector, then listen to them when they say whether actions offend the Gods or not. Because it would be a horrid thing to walk your life thinking you had not offended Gloria, and then to reach for her in your moment of need and find only scorn.

We have returned from the tour and I am pleased to report that it went very well; we were welcomed everywhere we went, and enjoyed warmth and applause from our audiences. Word is traveling far and wide, and I hope that come spring, the College will have more visitors from afar coming to join our ranks.
I am trying to learn how to play this beautiful citole. It is not unlike my gittern, though just different enough that it's a challenge.
I missed my warm bed at Whisper House and I'm grateful to be out of travelling clothes and back into silks.

It is of my opinion that House Grayson, of all Houses, should consider carefully its actions and how those actions may affect those we touch. Even the smallest slight, as we have witnessed, can have unexpected consequences and touch upon so many. It falls to us to lead by example, and when we fail to do so, then we fail to live up to our motto: None greater than Grayson.
I will reserve full comment on this situation until I have had a chance to speak with my brother, but I will say that I have taken it upon myself to make this pledge: Those aggrieved parties involved will find a fair and reasonable resolution to this situation. While my brother is fully responsible for his own words and actions, I do feel that it is my responsibility, as his older sister and a Voice of House Grayson, to ensure that our family's honor is not besmirched as a result of what has transpired.
Please rest assured that we are looking into ways to resolve things to everyone's satisfaction.
