I'm told weddings in Sanctum are on the arduous side, long, with lots of standing and kneeling. Let's hope my ribs have set by then. I worry for Duke Harald's state, there's only so much I can do with my limited medical training. But we all came home breathing, I will take that as a great victory with all said and done. I'm sure Edain will be relieved, I think I will neglect to mention all the death traps for his peace of mind.

May your hopes find safe harbors.

Relationship Note on Alis

Oh, Princess Alis is so considerate. Not only has she welcomed me like a sister, but she appreciates my love for Semiramis. She's such a fine mare! I see others spoil their pets and really would love to do the same. I am sure she would love to spend more time with Edain and I rather than be outside all the time. There are no words to express my joy.

I have taken to sparing with my soon to be husband at the end of the day. It's such a soothing way to spend some time together and talk about our days. If I'm entirely honest it's also nice to see him sweating a little. He's an attractive man, even when he exerts himself. I am a fortunate woman to have someone so well matched to my personality, he makes me smile and laugh when I would worry and fret myself sick. Now if only he'd let me treat Semiramis like dog so I might take her everywhere with me. I'm told she really wouldn't fit in the bed.

It's been decided Semiramis is too big for beds and is not a dog as much as she's good with fetch and walks. That being said, I have decided a large, fluffy dog would be a suitable replacement for my horse being too large for evening cuddles in bed. It gives me comfort to consider a fluffy puppy with everything going on.

The date is set and in a matter of weeks I travel to Sanctum. I have always been a woman of faith, but to be in Sanctum in a holy ceremony will be something else entirely. I truly look forward to it as much as I have been warned it will prove tiring. Doubtless there will be moments for well timed naps before returning to Arx for the reception and back to work. Soon my best friend will be ever at my side, and that is a thing to feel blessed for.

Relationship Note on Estaban

Congratulations Lord Admiral Estaban. You have earned this many times over. I will miss Riptide, but I trust the blade is in good hands as is my fleet. I look forward to seeing how you work with the other admirals of Arx and I know like I did in my time serving at Duchess Calypso's side, you will learn many things. Of course, I suppose the sailors will be a little sad. If you find any drawings in your inspections of the ships, I suggest burning them.

More meetings, more planning, I miss the sea. I hope winter's end the seas will calm a little. These storms seem to try even the most seasoned of sailors. Perhaps it is a sign of things to come, I will pray on it more and hope that it changes and the storms fade come spring time.

A date's been set. Even as excited as I am, there is still work to be done outside of marriage. Now I have tomes and tomes to read. Who would have thought being an admiral requires so much reading and study?

Perhaps I will attend the gathering for Lagomas later. It would be the longest night of the year to celebrate for my own reasons. My brother has been here with me, reunited at last for a year now. I can't express the joy I feel in that, in getting to watch Serah, my young niece grow into a fine lady and share in so many things with my brother at my side.

Relationship Note on Edain

I can finally say it aloud. I'm so excited to join you and your family. I hope to do you and them the honor I have come to learn is so valued in and among Oathlanders. I will be proud to call you husband and to strengthen the military, and trade relations between Sanctum and Southport.

I like snow. I never thought I would say it. To be honest, I never did before. I was shown that snow can be used to make a shelter one can stay warm in and had the most magical afternoon. In a time there things I had held as magical or wonderful have been less idyllic it's so shocking to find snow wonderous, but I do. I look forward to what else I can discover about snow.

Watching the tournament was remarkable. I am happy to see it come to it's conclusion. I'm struck by how many fought till they dropped of their wounds. Over all, it's good to see other warriors exert themselves for love of martial training. I was also impressed with how well Prince Edain managed to run such massive events. He's clearly very skilled at organizing people. He's impressive. I've enjoyed witnessing such grand events.

Thank you for not drowning. I'll have you tied to your station if you give us all a scare like that again.

I can't say I have ever savored sailing through a winter storm, but it is a relief to get back to what I do best after a winter of parties and gatherings. I do love being in my element and doing the work I have trained for. Not to say parties aren't delightful, but it matters little how nice I look in a dress really.

I had an amazing time at the ball last night. The conversation was grand and there was even some dancing. It was a much needed reminder that warmer days will come again. I'm still not used to winters that actually snow, that much is a marvel to me.

Relationship Note on Edain

Now that I have been enlightened about the perils of Oathland Cowdogs, I cannot express my gratitude enough. Finally I have an answer to the forlorn moofing the shook the night and reached my windows. Thank you your Grace for sharing this wisdom with me. The Oathlands are a place of wonder to be sure.

Relationship Note on Anze

Soon to be Lord Anze Malvici. I cannot express how honored I felt to be included in the signing of your contract and how much I look forward to your vows being exchanged with those of my cousin. I know others have said it, but I'll say it anyway. The love he shares with my cousin is so strong. There cannot be a soul in Arvum who would doubt that the two of them are so well matched in friendship and love. The Hall certainly would be so much more quiet with out him joining us here. At least he's finally seemed to figure out where his shirts vanished to.

Only a couple months till my birthday comes around again. It's odd to think how different things feel in the city this year. That the siege was weighting upon us and we'd been preparing for the Battle of Giant's fall. Now my cousins are all marrying one by one and a giant skull sits in the Square as a reminder of what the people of Arvum can do. I think it's a wonderful symbol, of occasionally jarring to spy out the windows on early mornings or late at night.

Might as well contribute to the silliness being recorded. My favorite scent is lemon. Often I add lemon to my bath water.

Family dinner was delightful, doubly so for the events prior to it. It's been a little over a year since I moved to the city of Arx at the request of Lady General Calypso. A year of getting to be close to my cousins again, a year of staying in one city more than traveling about as I had become accustomed to. There are days I miss my wandering, but I have learned so much staying close to the family and meeting people I would likely not often cross paths with so often at sea. I look forward to what my next year in Arx will bring, with any luck more family to hold dear as it seems my cousins are all looking to wed.
