Wise general, remember that no battle runs smoother than that which you have concealed from the enemy until you execute it.
To know how to recognize an opportunity in war, and take it, benefits you more than anything else.
Discipline in war counts more than fury.

I'm back from Bastion after a long 'vacation'. Though in reality I just spent the entire time training and hitting soft things with sharp things. It was nice to get back to what I'm good at, and a nice reminder that I can't let myself go soft or lose my edge... I can't let Gloria or the Grayson name down. Not that I don't enjoy the life I've created -- I just can't let myself get too distracted by pleasantries.

Pasquale and Sunaia's wedding at the House of Vows in Nilanza was perfect. The weather might be a touch chilly still, but it's far warmer than the capital, absent snow, with waters just pleasant enough still for swimming. The subsequent days spent hosting a few notable guests, showing them my march and much of its loveliness, helped lighten my heart in such unexpected ways. The joy of deepening acquaintances, the rarest pleasure of being seen and understood, the sheet delight of witnessing silliness from oft-restrained sources.
I feel fortunate today, both to have such fine friends and to see my family grow so well. Lady Sunaia is a fine addition to House Malespero, and I hope, come spring, that we can set to answering all she asked for, the least of which will be planted once the ground is soft enough.

Sing me a song of your sorrows,
I'll let it fill up all my tomorrows.
Sing me a song of your despair,
With it I will prepare...
A heart made of clay,
And at your feet it will lay.

Scholar,
I have run across a series of books involving a Baron and baked goods, A trip into the fiction section leading me
to believe that either the writer is a gourmand of the highest order or was not talking about baked goods at all.

We are visitors, all of us, and were never intended to stay long. The ocean knows this. She calls out to her children in mysterious ways, but most frequently is it felt in the impulse one discovers when standing ashore and staring out upon the horizon. A desire to wade into the shallows and never return; a hunger to learn what other primordial secrets she may know.

I have returned to Arx refreshed and in relatively good spirits after spending a few days in Nilanza - a Lycene territory that I have never been before but always wanted to visit. My lord Romulius Blackshore, in his unfailing generosity and devoted reluctance at the prospect of letting me anywhere on the ocean without his expertise and protection, managed to bring me and my retinue safely to its shores.
The Malespero wedding was a lovely affair, and my visit to the march went beyond my expectations, in no small part due to the hospitality and charm of its lady, Lianne Malespero, and Guildmaster Apollo Whisper. It is very rare that I attend social engagements to begin with, much less ones that are not situated around the capital's proper, but as uncharacteristic as it sounds, I was looking forward to this one.
Despite my short stay, I have grown fond of Nilanza, and I hope to visit it often in the months to come.

We found another foe for you to practice against. Maybe I'll spar with Raven in a less well watched exhibition. My ego may not suffer my loss.

Relationship Note on Claudia
Struttington has spent more and more time away from the manor, Lady Malespero. I assume that means that Bibi has laid her eggs and we'll be expecting to host some sort of party at the tower for when those eggs hatch. I look forward to it.
I'll find you a blade beforehand.

There's something undeniably sweet coming home again. It's like a deep, well-wanted kiss from someone you might fancy. Especially in cold weather.
Almost makes me want to go wandering once again.

Tonight I had the pleasure of sharing company with several individuals that I've gotten to know somewhat over the past couple of months, and at least one I've known for several years. The event had a surprise ending, and a glass of sparkling wine that had hints of strawberries.
I do long for warmth of summer, as the swirling snow has hit me in the face for the thousandth time this season.

I've been given a bit of the Deeplight Coral I've heard so much about! The glimmer on them can't be imagined until they are seen. For all I was told about it, I still couldn't believe my eyes when I finally got to see it.
I know, all this excitement and I still feel late to it. I heard so much about the piece featured at the Eswynd Coral Ball that I'm sorry I never had a chance to glimpse it. But maybe that's for the best. Maybe it leaves me more open to see what the coral can do, when worked. You know, like not being stuck in what I've seen others create of it and around it?
I've never been in this spot before, with jewelry. Is this what exploration feels like? Possibility?

Excellent day. If one ever has the opportunity to spar with Lord Drake or Lady Adalyn, they should take it. Skilled, tenacious, and seasoned. Most days I am lucky if I get challengers at all muchless any so skilled as the two champions who honored me today.

Waiting for dark things to come is tiring. I've started to wonder if perhaps evil is more like a bear than I'd already thought. It already seemed most dangerous when hungry, and now I wonder if it doesn't hibernate to best lift its head when the world warms and hunger peaks...

A good spar this afternoon at the training centre with Duke Bisland, with an adoring audience to watch the art of the dance with steel on the sands. That he bested me is no sin, and Sir Tiberio would no doubt remind me, there are two things that one ought bear in mind - that losing in training oft teaches you more than winning, and that it /is/ better to lose in training than on the battlefield.
And, sometimes, it's as wise to press the attack more viciously in training as it is on the battlefield.
