I am still surprise how easy it to get help from people since coming back to the city. I still missed my friend that helped me when I was still new to the city. I hope that she is still safe. I hope that her duties bring her back to the city one day. Legate Ailith stated that she is saving many lives. When she returns, I will be one of the first in a long line to welcome her back.

I spent most of the past two weeks going over notes and doing some work around the Compact. There has been a lot of information I had to digest in the last couple of weeks, and the work provides the coin to continue further research. At least it is not hot anymore.

There is so much to do before next Spring. I really have no idea where to start. I think the first thing is to get some new clothes for the winter. I probably should get a chest too.

I am getting sick of all of this heat. Seriously, how can it be this hot all the time. If I knew if it was going to be this hot, I would have waited until the fall to come back to Arx. I would have had at least one good winter to acclimate back to this weather. I would become nocturnal for the rest of the Summer, but it still amazingly hot during the night too.

Relationship Note on Shard
Well, Shard is Shard. I would love to call her my friend, but I also would love to have a million silver in the bank too.

Today was just like old times. I caught with Lord Wash, and the Golden Hart was packed with familiar faces. I didn't get any chance to gamble, but it was good to catch up. Beside I probably should save my coin for that future camping trip. I did really enjoy that Port. I might have to get me a case

One thing I noticed this Summer is that a lot of my acquaintences and friends seem to be getting married or having children. I also realize that I seem to have a lot of noble friends and acquaintences. I am getting old, and perhaps it is time for me to seek out someone to marry, and then I realize I know some people that are older than me that have not married. Maybe I will seek to marry by next winter, or even better maybe I will go a grand camping trip next spring. Camping sounds more fun.

There seems to be a lot of talks of marriage lately. I guess there are very few things to do when it gets this hot. I think I have finally visited all the taverns in the City, except the Murder of Crows. The only reason I never visited the Murder of Crows was because I thought it was hunting lodge for small game. I am glad Goodman Otto inform me that I was wrong..

I am slowly hearing back from all of my old friends that I knew the last time in the city. It is good to catch up with how their lives have changed, and to know that peopele did not forget you.

I really need to buy my researcher partner several drinks when I met them again. It has never taken me this quick to find something in the archives. I must confess I am confused now about a great many things.

All one can do is to keep working, and hope that it gets noticed. I know in my heart there is so much that needs to get done. It is good to be back in the city. I have enjoyed every moment since I have returned, and I wait to see what the summer months might hold for me. I have been debating in deciding to gain some of that excellent mundaness that people treasure until they are old.

It is good to be back in the city. I must confess that the few days that I have been back has been fruitful. I have met some new friends, and I have had a few enlightening conversations that I will remember forever. I am still trying to catch up with old friends, and found thetime to mourn those that are no longer here. The latter does not sit well with me, but everything must be done in its time.

Summer is almost upon us. I guess I should begin to make some plan for the upcoming all too. I think I might go on a trip. Someone promise to give me a tour of their ward once. I think I should take that person up on it. I have also notice there are a lot of orphans and refugees in the city. I should do more to help those that have been so fortunate.

I think of my mother during times likes these. I think of her working in her shop, sweating and toiling all day, but she always took the time to clean herself up when she had to make deliveries. She would spend time in baths, put some scented oil in her hair, and put on her best outfit. I always wondered why she bothered dressing up to deliver her wares. The people who bought from her to knew what she did, and sometimes she only dropped the items off to a servant. I never asked why she bothered. Mainly because I was afraid she would smack me in the back of the head, but I still wonder.

I think about the last year I spent in Arx. I think about the people I met, and the people that have honored me with their friendship. I think about my success, and my failures as well. If it was not for my failures so many years ago, I would not have come back to Arx. A part of me thinks about the people that I might leave behind if the worse does occur. I do not doubt the final outcome of this whole affair. I have met too many people that are too smart, too good, too stubborn, too strong, and even a bit too annoying to allow for these problems to defeat us.

I have been busy with all of projects recently, but lucky things are beginning to settle down. I am hoping to get back to my normal social routine. I really have been spending too much time in establishment where people are not buying me free rounds of drinks. How am I supposed to leave before my turn to buy the rounds, if no one buys me a round first. I am hoping this Spring I will continue this path of things finally slowly down for me.

Since my last journal, I believe a great weight has been lifted off my shoulders. It has been place with more weight, but this weight I find to be more desirable. I think this new weight will cause me to strive to do better things, and to be a better man. I hope that I am successful in these endeavors. No, I will be successful in these endeavors. I normally do not write very short entries in my journal, but I have a meeting with someone. I want to make sure that I am prepared and I want to review what I going to say.

I normally compose my thoughts at my desk in my study, but this morning I decided to write my notes down in the bank of all places. I am not sure why, perhaps this is one of the few things that I can immediately change in my life. This small insignificant still feels good. I met some interesting new people that made me contemplate what I want out of my life, and where it is heading. There were so many broad paths that I desired for my safe, when I stop traveling around the city. In each of these broad paths, I never thought about the small insignificant steps that make a life worth living. I should change that.

I have find solace in the fact that I am not the only one who has be hampered from pursuing goals during the winter months. Lady Shae stated that she was also hampered by the Winter. I am still trying to get as much done as possible before next summer. I would like to be able to do some camping next summer without any stress. I need to find a couple of teachers, but sometimes I feel I am told old to learn anything new. I know that it is silly, but I can't help it. After I finished this journal, I will probably try to get some more support for one of my many projects.

When I was younger, i used to sit and watched my mother bend steel to her will. Her face covered in sweat, her muscles moving in a hypnotic motion as she through her hammer down. She bent a little bit of the world to her will ever day, It was a beautiful thing to watched. She took less funds from clients, so I could be trained in different weapons. She realized that I didn't have the dexterity to do what she did, or maybe she thought I didn't have the strength to bend the world to my will. On days like this, I hope it is is the former.
