There are too many thoughts to contain, too many avenues to explore.
And yet - I find hope in Silver's song. Magic returned to the world once more.
And yet things stir that should not have stirred.

I sought answers in the poisoned snow,
I sought answers in the cleansing rain,
I sought answers in conversations with strangers and friends.
I sought answers in the walls of an impossible castle.
But answers bring only more questions. Secrets bring more secrets. More things are forgotten and remembered.
I need to find more pleasant ways to pass the time.

Relationship Note on Eilonwy
I support Marquessa Eilonwy Blackwood completely. She is the right person for my father to have chosen. Her ennoblement was not a surprise to me, and if it was to my siblings it's only because they can't be bothered to listen when the rest of us are talking about important things. They were told.
No amount of poking or prodding at me will get a different answer to that question, no amount of tricky questions, or assuring me that I can tell you how I "really" feel, none of it will change the answer that you receive, because it is the truth. She has taken nothing from me.

Today has been a very busy day.
I should've better anticipated the swirl of gossip.
Also I should have known that 'I don't want to talk about it' wasn't actually going to keep anyone from talking about it.
I did meet some absolutely delightful people.

Relationship Note on Victus
You can't back out now, Lilybelle would never forgive you! Besides, we both know that they are choosing to do this on their own and we're only being magnanimously allowed to care for their growing family.

With any luck, there will be big, beautiful, fluffy kittens in a few months... I only hope Lilybelle approves. That reminds me, I really should check on Prince Dominic's sutures.. poor man was rather out of it when he got all those instructions.

Relationship Note on Dominic
You're not getting older, Your Grace, we're simply surrounded by enemies that want us all dead and don't mind picking us off one at a time! That said, if you truly want birthday parties, there are some coming up in Blackwood I believe. You're welcome to join the festivities!

So many things happening, so much on a cusp of change. I will do what I must for my family, my House, my liege.
Thankfully, those things I must do often include drinks and talking to new and interesting people!

My father's arrival has been delayed by an incident at the Stormarch, but he will be pleasantly surprised when he arrives, I think. We're well on our way to being established and getting ground broken on our house in the city!

You're here!! I'm so glad you came down and I know it was a sacrifice to pull you from the woods, but I am truly happy to have you here cousin. I know we can make great things happen, and I'm sure we can still sneak out for the occasional hunt!

It was a pleasure to meet you, Your Highness, even moreso to have the opportunity to talk to you. I would like to think we both came away from it having learned something about the other. I look forward to seeing you again!

It is done! My family has started arriving in the city, my father will soon join us.
Most importantly, however, is that for the first time in generations... the tribes and the Crovanes are united. We stand together, united under the Compact, standing firm against our enemies. Let this show that it *can* be done. It is possible. The time is right, the conditions are right. Extend a hand in friendship and you may just be surprised with the results.
I will be writing up the outline of how we went about accomplishing it, I will be glad to share it with anyone that would like to adapt and attempt it in their own lands.
