I am so excited! I may be going North again soon! I can barely wait!

As most of you know, I have been extra slow on the white journals these days but have healed up and am doing well despite various ailments before and am staying alive with some great help from the amazing hound Sir Floppington who kindly saved me from a couple thugs one day! Thank you, Sir Floppington! <3

After steady healing over time, these past couple weeks (since my last white journal entry) have been absolutely wonderful! I finally live again!
During a drinking game at The Spirits, my liege and I wagered that neither a hardy knight nor a lovely princess could drink more rum than me...
We were right, of course! After my win, Lord Arik even sang a glorious song (which I later sang at various venues)! Unfortunately, those at the Ambassador's Salon do not seem to know what good music is, but those at the Traders Tavern do (and even complimented my singing voice)!
During her birthday party at Redrain Gardens, Princess Nia bravely slayed me with a single blow from her muddy doll! I was adorably stunned and could do naught but lay there for a few moments. I eventually rose, but sadly scared yet another child as I did so. I only worry that he might not dream well!
During the 1-year anniversary party for Marquis Cirroch and Marquessa Sasha, wolf pelt and sea silks were my evening attire: the latter set kindly gifted by none other than Marquessa Sasha, herself. This was my favorite celebration throughout all Arx so far. A wrestling match went down upon the dance floor (Lord Arik vs Marquis Cirroch). The honored couple adorably danced. I won the Never-Have-I-Ever game after having spake that Never Have I Ever mouth kissed more than a single person in my entire life. Suspiciously timed, a kiss offer came up the next day, but I decidedly declined (and likely will most times). Thank you, though! Beyond the entertaining activities, though, I truly wish the absolute best for the Sanna couple in their loving marriage forever more!
During yet another stop at the Traders Tavern, I briefly met a quiet man in riding leathers and his friendly dog (Patches). Unfortunately I never learned the man's name, but he definitely seems to be a good one to eventually know, especially with his equine knowledge and quick quips!
Master Rook Grayward and Mistress Yasmine Rovashani recently honored their newborn baby (Yelena Grayward) with festive fun at Champagne Mansion wherein the champagne fountain constantly flowed, and fine dining was beyond amazing. Thank you to your entire family for opening up your own home me. So nice!
Last but not least, thank you to the Redrain House for the paid position and Arxian leatherworkers for sprucing up a couple high quality leathers, too!

What a hectic week this has been (extra arduous due to my healing wounds), but then it has been a memorable one, too. I could have laid around all week in a Weak Maker (bed), but that would have been no good. I have been quite sad, and somewhat foggy, but the social activities with dear friends were a great help, along with my work tasks (which I love doing, and no, I am not joking).
Many people for whom I care have been suffering from their own problems, too. From battle wounds to stabbing strangers, insane animals with diseased bites, night terrors, and dead or dying loved ones... I wish I knew how to help them.
Although I never met Brother Martin, I learned a lot about him at his service, and am quite certain I missed out on having met a compassionate man who not only loved cake of all kinds but also loved people of all kinds, too.
The first time I have felt like 'myself' in some time was at the Rock Painting for the orphan children. Although I never painted, I was the wolf ride for a temporary time: until I broke down. Lady Delilah and Princess Sabella saved me from the little ones and their adorable mauling. I wish I could have held out! Marquessa Sasha (best patron anyone could ever have) was also there, too.
After talking shop, Jeweler Josephine and I walked down to the Golden Hart for the Spring Fling where Lady Lethe and Lady Lilith were my great teammates for the Three Way (Tug of War!). We did not win, but a fun time it still was. My sore back LUCKily popped during Round 2. I feel much better! Princess Valencia was a wonderful hostess, and I also met so many nice people. Some unexpected.
Our High Lord Prince Darren kindly hosted an Open Court within the Great Hall at the Redrain Villa. I screwed up, but I also learned a valuable lesson, and everyone there was most gracious. Sounds like there is plenty work to do!
In other news, good things also happen. Thank you to everyone involved in the Willowfall sharpening, handmedown satins, sea silks, and substantial raise I recently received. A new armoire/wardrobe and new ring are in design stages, the latter one a kind gift to be. I have been steadily healing, too.

Before Val left Arx, we made amends, leaving off on a better note than before.
He even gave Willowfall back to me as well as his very own epaulet by which to remember him. Never have I ever been the 'jewelry type', but I shall wear this splendid piece when decked out in my furs and leathers. He said it suits me, most likely due to its dangerous flare, and I must admit that I agree.
I am not sure if he is still set to go Godsworn anymore, but he is still going to go soul searching within The Faith as a Liberator (aka Disciple of Skald).
Quite wolfy, Skald wholeheartedly embraces living freely by one's own terms. Thus, he is my favorite deity from the Pantheon. I would love to meet him!
Vala Khanne once told me a beautiful story: Skald attended a gathering at the Stone Grove with Prism who alighted fireflies into the air. Then, one landed in Vala Khanne's hair and made her twinkle like a star. What a lovely tale!
Although I will miss Val more than I can say (or write), I sincerely hope he eventually finds the freedom and peace that he needs and seeks. I have been keeping up with Dame Felicia and recently met another sister of his, too: Guardswoman Amantha (who I hope to meet again when I am less 'all over').
Thank you(s) go to all who have been helping me through these emotional times.

I traded back Willowfall -- the serrated ebon steel longsword -- to get back my spare keys for the Wolf Cave (aka Lily Apartment). I will need a new blade now (but have little silver at this particular time).
My first love shall soon become a Godsworn man (if he is not already by now).
Despite his insensitive heedlessness, I still care for the young Harrow man, deeply hoping he actually becomes the Blessed man he passionately wishes to be and can finally find true peace wherever his new path may lead him.
Dame Morrighan, ...I really need you to help me get absolutely wrecked today!
Added Later: My weapon needs have been generously fixed by Shaman Clara! <3

I should have done these journal entries a couple months ago! Catching up on urban nuances has been somewhat confusing, but I am coping well despite my constant desire to GET OUT, especially with many new friends (as well as my first lover: Master Valarian Harrow). City life never feels too bad when in their intriguing presence(s)! Every day, I sincerely thank the Spirits for those who have generously helped me to come so far so soon. Thank you so much!
I finally acclimated to my new home (and also have the best land lady anyone could ever hope for: Shaman Clara Crovane). Daily work (for the best boss man anyone could ever hope for: Lord Arik Halfshav) is going well, and I have been recently accepted as a new protege unto a fine patron: Marquessa Sasha Sanna (who already proved to be an extraordinary teacher in research techniques). Sometimes, I also work part time for our High Lord (Prince Darren Redrain), a great leader who sincerely cares for every person from his Northern climes. Mistress Eilonwy Thunderoak and Master Arthen Dayne are kindred servants with whom I already feel quite close (most likely due to our relatable stations).
Dame Morrighan and Dame Ida Ferron have both been exceptional teachers to me, helping out with martial arts. Commandant Violet Sandreef-Marjawn (along with devoted husband Sir Thorley Sandreef) have been great help in armed sparring along with The Gauntlet (which Dame Alexis Wyrmfang first showed me), too. Master Torian Culler at Lowers Leather exceptionally crafted all my leathers. Master Felix Meadson at Seaborn Weaponry exceptionally crafted all my weapons.
