Relationship Note on Claude
Thoughts of a host to a Charity Benefit... thoughts of someone lucky to be alive because of the Healers!
In just over a months time, I will be holding a great day of celebration to honor the healers of the Physician Guild and the Mercies of Lagoma.
To my delightful surprise, I already have one art piece submitted! It's a beautiful piece of work, crafted by a carpenter I have not had the grace and honor of meeting yet, by the name of Claude. I did some digging into who he was and apparently he's under the Grayson fealty. He came to the Arvum through the consequences of the Wars that befell the Arvum when I was much younger than I am today. He seems to be noted as a quiet man and I do hope, he finds better days ahead.
If you would like to see his work, it'll be in the Crafters Gallery at the Crossroads Casino. Purchasing of this masterpiece will certainly be available during the Day of Healers, which the actual event is called Shake 'Em For the Love of Healing...
Many thanks to Claude, for his early contributions!

Thoughts of ... the future...a student of information...
How interesting misinformation determines the course of someone's choices. Digging for truth is really the only answer to ensure our choices are wisely made. But, the obstacle comes from the sources of that information. When your answers received are the ones that come from what a person perceived to be true, but in fact are laced with falsehoods, how can you really trust what you've been given, to make your choice, without again, finding others to either side with the first, or diminish the answers of the original source. Then there is the gambit of those purposefully answering in a fashion that they think we wish to hear, the right answers, the politically correct answers, those answers that fall in line with the larger narrative granted by the Faith, Crown, or Peerage. And what of those, who willfully deceive and misdirect, to close the gates upon what you need to know, to make your choices, because for whatever reason, those that hold the key to the gate, perhaps, don't wish you to walk through it. On top of that, what if your source just doesn't like you and is vile and vicious in sending you off course?
Isn't information funny. We are supposed to make bold choices, sometimes life altering choices, on what information we have. Yet, getting to that information, one must wade through webs of intent and personal agendas. To combat this, I have no obvious solutions dear reader, than doing your own research.

Relationship Note on Apollo
I have been blessed in the months since I returned from Bastion with several people being willing to give me a fresh start, to sit and speak with me so that we might find common ground to work from. I cannot express how truly grateful I am to have one among them be Apollo Whisper. His compassion, conversation, and creativity have all resulted in benefits that I hope I deserve.
The choice to enter into a patronage relationship is one that must be considered carefully, yet I admit that had I not been so surprised by the idea of being his patron that I would have squealed with joy as I said "Yes!" It is humbling and inspiring to have him under my patronage. I can imagine that we will do inspired things together.

If one has not taken the opportunity to spend an evening in the company of Marquis Cirroch, it is an error that should be corrected promptly! On my way home from the bank, I came across him and his sister, Lady Tila, having a grand time in the snow with Prince Baldessare and Lady Kalani. Lady Zoey was passing through just after me, so I encouraged her to join me in joining them (at their invitation).
It is far simpler to toss a snowball at Relara or Gareth than it is to toss a snowball at an adult. I did not expect that to be so, yet I do not think I managed to connect with a single person. The children and I have not spent as much time out enjoying the winter as we might usually, with Niklas away. He brightens everything! I hope no one tells my little darlings I played without them, they may never forgive me! Oh, but I did have fun, thanks to having such excellent company. What a fond memory I get to keep!

Relationship Note on Anisha
A perfect whisper, burning bright
Guidance through despondent night
Peace has gentled my strange grief
Heard and seen, a kind relief.

Back in town a few days, already seen so many new faces. So far everyone has been polite and (more imporantly) smart. I just cannot suffer fools. How long before I lose my temper again because of someone else's stupidity? Anger has already cost me too many friends. It's made me too many enemies, too many bad first impressions, though I'm not sure I care what idiots think of me.
It's only a matter of time before some idiot pisses me off and I lose it again. I guess I'll just have to do my best to keep it together. At least booze helps.

One may believe that I jump onto the first challenge when thrown, though it is also a level of seeking movement and something to do that is not simply sitting and watching everything pass us by. Our time here is short. Seize what you can and find the purest moment of joy that you can, when you can.
Mine was found tonight in a challenge to head out to the snow and attempt to sled upon the icy hill of the Plaza of Coin. Lady Kalani Seliki, Princess Sabella Grayson, Lady Zoey Kennex, Prince Baldessare Velenosa, and Lady Tila Sanna. Thank you all for a moment of escape from everything else weighing over our heads, for just some simple fun in the snow.
An additional thank you for those that came out for the pub crawl, Lady Kiera Wyvernheart, the bloody mercy Carmen Harol of the Crimson Blades, and Lady Emberly Crovane.
Lani, there is either a snowball in your future or a drink. We have yet to determine which.
Sabella, we will need to talk about the cease fire between our guards.

An amazing impromptu pub crawl for my cycle day was had, there was much whiskey shared and drunken over the period of wandering the city.
Thank you to all that came out, especially to those already in Traders Tavern when the troop followed in. Their patience for what followed along is most appreciated.

The wisest generals know how little they know.
The necessity of believing with little or no knowledge should make us more concerned with carefully information ourselves than constraining others. Those who have not thoroughly examined to the bottom all their own tenets must confess they are unfit to prescribe to others. Those who have fairly and truly examined the same know that, past doubt, there is no reason for others to follow or believe them, else by the dint of hope that similar circumstances grace them. A general may only know themselves and presume from observation others.
If men were better instructed, they would be less imposing.

Relationship Note on Sunaia
A belated note on Sunaia and Pasquale's wedding, which has come and gone without much fanfare.
I am very pleased with this match - it seems a good match for both of them, and for our houses.
The wedding was beautiful, and though we will miss Sunaia around House Ashford, we expect she'll be happy in her new home.

I seem to always be missing Count Tibault, it saddens me this, but I shall continue to hold on to hope, and pray that we will finally have a chance to see each other. I have missed my adoptive father. I hope he and the house have been doing well here in Arx while I was away, back home in Brighthold.

It's been my birthday today scholar, and despite it being the first one spent away from home since for as long as I can remember, it's been truly one of the best. My patron turned up in the courtyard of Byrne Manor on the back of a Duskshire mustang which was his gift to me to mark the day, and we took him out for a ride in the forest. It was quite wonderful of him to remember my telling of how much I had missed having a horse since arriving in Arx, and so much more thoughtful a gift than sending me a bolt of cloth which I would then have felt duty-bound to fret upon.

My current project has been reading through the whites. The whites were random people mention my subjects. The whites of my subjects. I feel like an outsider looking in on the lives of other people. But isn't that what I wanted to be when I opened my shop? I feel like a ghost, maybe. Displaced out of time. Still, at an ungodly hour I was reading someone's whites when inspiration struck me and I immediately rushed to my forge and to my tools.

Dear Scholar,
I went today to meet with another who has a love for books that rivals my own. In the course of my journey I encountered their brother.
Today.. I survived a northern death hug. Praised be the gods.
Tomorrow... I wonder what awaits me.

For everyone. Might you allow House Sanna to offer a solution to if one might fly. Male or not.
From what started as an amusing means to of a discussion to how we would properly continue conversation with a dear friend, near family (they might as well be family)
We will be hosting an event: Redrain makes you fly.
More information to come.
