I still don't feel quite myself. I'm not sure I ever will again, so maybe I need to get used to this? But the healers say I need to work on it, do the stretches and exersises and eat healthy and all of that.

The back of my shoulder has healed, but the skin there is strangely pale now, scarred over, probably never going to look right. But, I bear that scar proudly.

I have had some queries about the stygian necklace - which is amazing - and I realise people read my whites, and I best clarify.
The stygian necklace will be sold in the auction to benefit healers, in the event that Lord Orland Amadeo is hosting. All money made from it will be going to healer organisations, in whatever way Orland wants to divide it up.

I have not had much inspiration for making jewelry lately, but making something for the benefit of healers, came easy to me. A Stygian necklace with several jade pieces. The jade was given to me by Miss Zyanya from the Platinum Empire, to be used however I saw fit, and I can not think of a better use.

I hope it sells for a large sum.

Today, I am about to do the hardest thing I have ever attempted in my life.

I pray to the Gods I can be strong enough for this.

It feels almost dream-like sometimes, what we did. But then reality hits home as I am reminded of the loss of Marquessa Sunniva.

But, when we did the memorial, and later the same day, a chance to speak to the waves and the wind, I felt great elation and I for the first time felt joy over the victory.

We did the near impossible and I intend to celebrate.

I have not recovered fully physically but I feel I have healed emotionally, and come out stronger.

I believe Marquessa Sunniva would be proud of me.

I was always particularly bad at grieving. I'm not good at comforting those that are filled with sorrow, either - part of why I decided to leave the Harlequins (though not the major part.)

A part of me is screaming at me to just get on my ship and disappear for a few months. It's how I USED to handle it.

But I won't. I will not selfishly run away this time. I will honor the sacrifice made by one of the strongest, kindest, bravest people I have ever met, and do right by the survivors.

If I die, I want the funeral to be one lavish giant party. The kind where people dance on the tables and have to be told day after what happened. Where rank and title mean little, cause everyone lets go. A proper revelry of life.

Some adventures at sea are more spectacular than others. What a crew! Lord Pasquale, Lord Ian, Raven, Savio and our very own Nightingale Gianna - A formidable team.

I've been taken to studying people and nature around me with more interest lately, and there truly are the most amazing wonders. Animals have the most clever of ways of deception - even plants do. People certainly deceive others constantly, unconsciously or deliberately, and not because they mean ill - quite often it is to protect.

There is a butterfly that when its wings are folded looks like a leaf. When it spreads them out, it is a vibrant red and yellow. I saw a rodent of some kind play dead before a cat that got bored with playing with it and looked away for a moment; the rodent dashed off to safety. I have seen this before but I never thought about how CLEVER this was.

I saw a lone young boy facing off a group of tough street kids with the most bold-faced lie ever - and it worked, the group of tough kids walked off. I gave the boy a few names to reach out to. He'll go far, that one.

Life changes. Some things end, others begin.

I look forward to the future. I do not have any plans but something exciting always comes up!

Time to go talk with my neighbor about gardening. Apparently he likes it and I have learned a lot about how to grow herbs.

I got up the same time this morning, and ate breakfast; I was a little bit wild and crazy, I added sugar on my porridge. Have to tell the neighbor later about this wild living.

I was invited for drinks at a friend yesterday but I declined, because I felt I would need a good night's sleep before today's work. I am cleaning the shop and doing an inventory count. Really, it would be very irresponsible to drink before that, it's important not to count it wrong. What if I miss something and then the numbers don't add up?

Oh, and this math book actually has some good use for my accounting, I realised.

Got to tell my neighbor later, I am sure he will appreciate the information, he also has a shop. I will also explain to him the futility of too large stock. That is just money you've spent that does not yield money back for a long time. No, it is better to restock just the right amounts and follow demand. Prices also fluctuate all the time, so if you say, buy lots of metal this month, then you might realise next month the price is lower and you've then actually LOST money.

I wrote a shopping list.
1 pound of carrots
2 pounds potatoes
10 apples
Salt
Sugar
Flour
Butter
Eggs

Went to the market, and there were NO BUTTER. Can you believe it. The vendor said someone had bought it all for some big bakery project. I had to go to another market and it took a whole hour extra, so then I did not have time to sort my foreign coin collection.

I read some more in the math book and told the neighbor. He asked me if I could just go back to having loud partiets at night so he could complain about that instead, since that at least is interesting.

Feels like I had another productive day!

P. S. Must remember to complain about the butter issue to everyone.

Today I made a chest. I put it up for sale.
I bought food, and ate it.
I read a book about maths, it's very boring, and I then told my neighbor all about it, he was trying not to fall asleep.
I went to the shrine and prayed, which was the most exciting thing of the day.

Another productive day!

Relationship Note on Savio

Being a bard is a profession that earns you money. People pay you to sing and play music and tell stories and generally make everything BETTER.

So, I don't even understand what this Raven is on about. Bards are, by definition, useful - or there wouldn't be a profession, or something people PAY for. One of the most prestigious organisations in the Compact is the Bard's College. I could go on ahead and list the merits of music and song and what USE it has, but if Raven can't figure this out themselves, they might want to go get some lessons by the disciples of Jayus.

Sometimes you have to cut the anchor loose to move onwards.

Sometimes you need to throw it in the waters, make a full stop and stay right there, and value what you have.

Whitepeak has left me with a sense of wonder and joy - I feel there's so much possibility. It was JUST as I expected it to be! I am marvelling at this splendid, magnificent city with all the AMAZING stuff.

I'll tell you all about it one day, too much to take in and process at the moment.

I will never look in a mirror the same way again. I will look even more closely!

I think I saw some wrinkles. True horror. Got to keep an eye on that.

Relationship Note on Aureth

I am very fond of bollocks as to call something nonsense!
