Relationship Note on Alarissa
Mother,
I met the Princess Consort of Thrax. My intent was to request access to the estate library and I gained this, but I also believe I gained her ire.
She gave me a cat, but I believe it more a curse than a gift. You should see the state of my hands...and a few of my dresses.

I have another two weeks to go before I can have this cast removed from my arm. I spoke with a physician this morning, one that was not my cousin, or Marquessa Keaton, to see if it could be removed early. They looked at me as if I was totally daft, which I suppose that I must be. There were also concerned glances around them, possibly expecting Lady Mabelle to appear from the very air to scold both of us.
But probably just me.
Meanwhile Baron Norwood has been shoving riding manuals under the door of my quarters and waiting for me around corners when my meetings conclude. At which point I'm hauled out to the stables and forced to ride around the paddock under his watchful eye. There will be no escape from his lessons now, I fear.

After untold amounts of preparation, the Kismet Carnival was held here in Arx, bringing a taste of the myriad of games and acts that take place across all of Arvum. I would be remiss if I didn't think my patron and sponsor of the event, the Marquessa Lianne Malespero, and my protege Sloane Starling. Without their aid and support, it never would have happened. So many came to partake in these dark and troubled times, yet we all saw the light, the reason we fight, the method of our victory assured by our unity of purpose as all of Arvum.

I have been hearing that no few great economic and accounting minds have been arriving in the city the last couple of months. I've half a mind to hold some sort of gathering where we might discuss our various experiences and thoughts. Some will surely think such an event would be duller than un-buttered toast, but I can assure you that bookkeeping can be quite entertaining.

Once again, and despite my promises to myself, my paints lay idle and a canvas half completed. It's been an interesting couple of weeks, though, and I can't really be that upset with myself. Painting is for idle time, and the gods and spirits know I've had little of that. Which isn't a bad thing, by any means, as none of what I've been doing has been unpleasant.

Relationship Note on Amari
I'm so glad Amari has returned from her trip safe and sound. I missed her greatly, and thought of her often. Hoping and praying things would be well, and she would find what she was looking for. It is perhaps a bit selfish, but I like knowing my cousin is just a short walk from me. And that I can seek her out whenever I need someone to talk to.

This week, I went to the Kismet Carnival. Even we Andalashari have heard of them, and it was quite the spectacular sight to see. I was rather surprised to find myself the winner of one of the trophy steins after playing a number of the games. I shall have to find a place to display these. Perhaps I will start a collection. I had my fortune told as well, but I think anyone could see that I was alone, and that I wasn't happy to be alone. It was, to be honest, somewhat of a disappointing fortune. It did not tell me anything I did not already know. I must try harder to find my way, and meet others. Still, the woman was kind, and had a gentle and serene way about her. I appreciated this.
I have established my shop, the Wild Plains Bazaar. So far, I have already sold some pieces, a matching set. I hope that the person who purchased it will find joy in it! I am still learning how best to manage my time and resources, to ensure that I have a productive week. It took quite a lot of my resources to get the shop up and running, and to buy the materials for just that one sale. Still, I think I am beginning to understand how things work, and I think that I will have a better time of it in the coming weeks.

There is something hidden behind the wall. If you look close enough. And listen. You can hear it scratching -- desperate to be released. But what is it, and where did it come from? Soon, we will know.

I managed to get two projects done today. There's still another to work on, which will take more thought and creativity than the others. Not because those /didn't/ require thought or creativity, but this upcoming one needs to be more than perfect. For now, though, I am off to go crawl into bed and sleep in for at least a couple of days. Or so I tell myself, at least.

Today's tea was a green tea, with candied fruit and a hint of chocolate. It was quite delicious, and I do believe it would be quite nice on a snowy day in winter. Although, it was indeed very good in the middle of summer. Refreshingly sweet, but not overly so. I recommend it, if only I knew which tea shop it had come from. Perhaps someone will take credit for it and I will find out.
Yes, it is a mystery to me, but a very tasty one.
There are many mysteries in Arx. This is not such a serious one. Thankfully.

You can taste autumn coming, and the memory of snow just behind it. I love the heat of summer and the cold of winter, especially because as it gets colder my bed feels warmer, with extra arms and limbs that appreciate that I'm a living furnace.
Time is passing and it's passing faster now that I've more things in my life. I've got more responsibilities than I did two years ago, more burdens and worries but a lot more joys too, most of all that pretty unexpected. Can't say I regret anything, but then I'm not usually a person bent on regretting the past.
I said a few days ago that I didn't like being the one safe at home; feels weird, feels wrong. I fret now than I ever thought possible, and the progress I made in having faith and living in the moment has gone sailing away by witnessing the after-effects of bad choices. While I don't think that's wrong, I think maybe there's middle ground between 'care-free and living large!' and 'mind-numbing frantic worry'. There has to be. I can only bake and drink so much.
I sound like I'm whining. Musing over my life as it's changed isn't that. Got some work to do, in me, and I mean to do it today.

It would probably be good to continue to get better with a knife, just for my own self-defense... especially with everything that's happening on the horizon...
But, I admit! I so hate the idea of getting some ruffian's blood on my skirts and gloves!
Call me squeamish if you must but however do people manage?
