Please realize, that the children Amir and Aisha are not being warded by a random house. Their paternal grandmother Marjory, Uncle, Lord Sebastian and myself their aunt are all Pravus. To offer protection and shelter to our niece and nephew is not something that I believe should seem even remotely odd.

Relationship Note on Orathy
It is. It was also a choice to respond in kind and accept those consequences.

Choices.
We all make them. We make small ones and large ones. Some are made after careful consideration, some in the heat of the moment.
Be it to stand on a rooftop and scream out for injustices, perceived or real. Or peek through keyholes. To stand in the shadows away from other's eyes or to stand in the middle of the room and say, look at me. They are choices and as all choices there are consequences. Some are consequences that all can see, others are in such a manner that only the person facing them understands. But all choices lead to others. And in the way of these things, sometimes those consequences add up until they are too heavy to bare.
One man decided that he didn't want to face the consequences for the choices he made, so in making another he pulled a weapon in hopes to keep them at bay. Another man, made the choice to answer weapon with weapon. Were they good choices? Who knows. But as in anything else they ripple through the world with consequences of each with more choices needing to be made.
But here is the thing..
If for a moment, you think that both men are not paying for those choices. You are not paying very much attention.
But then... that's your choice.

It is funny how one little thing can tick you off as another makes you as equally happy.

Relationship Note on Luis
It seems there are things in and people out there that you don't realize you need or want until they creep into your life unexpectedly and you suddenly realizes you don't know what you did without them.

Maybe its the mantle that you now wear or circumstances but somewhere to one of us, maturity seems to have reared it's ugly head.

Those that say love isn't selfish and hurtful, have never really loved. Sometimes you have to get through the ugly and the hurt to find those little gems of truth that make everything alright. And most the times, the only one that can really do that, is you. But once you do.. that gem is a gift like no other. Treasure it but don't horde it because it's that shared truth were you will find the reason to love.

I met Prince Tyrval last night and I must say what a fascinating night it was! House Pravus and some choice guests were offered the challenge of a game and it was... fascinating. Or perhaps it was that I was dazzled by the splendor of his raiment and all I can recall of the night is the sheen of that exquisite silk. He said it was made by a human crafter some five hundred years ago. I wonder if it is possible to recapture that level of skill?

Relationship Note on Larissa
I am, at heart, a people person. I gravitate towards those with passion and presence and who can laugh easily. But never in my life have I felt the draw to someone quite the way I feel it for Larissa, the Softest Whisper. Her warmth, her presence is one of tangible delight. From her beauty to her grace, she is inviting, thoughtful, unbelievably sweet. From our first conversation I felt a connection, one I am so very glad she feels in kind. This woman was meant to be my dearest friend, I wholly believe. I am so glad I came to Arx and found her. We were able to pull off an amazing Fashion Show and charity auction, and despite my fatigue this morning, I would do it all again with her at my side.
Thank you Lagoma, for changing my life by adding her to it. For healing my heart of its loneliness.
Thank you Limerance, for a friend upon which I can depend.
Thank you Larissa, for being precisely who you are.

By the grace and glory of the gods, the Fashion Show was a success! It was a labor of love in so many ways, but I am grateful for those labors. Not simply because I was able to surround myself in the things that I love and share them with all of Arx -- and there was quite the turnout too! -- but because I felt, for the first time in a long time, that I was actually, tangibly, doing something good and useful. I felt it, in my heart and it moved me.
The outfits were stunning -- the feathered gold dress was enormously popular -- Feathers. Called it. -- and I even got to see Antonio in that bold wrap skirt. All in all, it was an amazing night and I am beyond happy with the results.
Thank you again, Arx, for participating, for coming, and for sharing in this experience with me.

Well, the shoe has finally fallen and I was put firmly in place.
It was expected.
It was deserved.
I accept it.
I will be better.

I thought you were to be my rock and then you become the tempest itself!
I have been spun into the sweetest chaos. It is a rare and lovely thing to be this surprised by such a lovely thing.

Sheathe your weapons brother! All is well. I let my pen dream a little dream for me, that is all.
No need for a ruckus on my behalf!
Though it's very kind of you to smile at my bad poetry!
