Oh, and I'd like to apologize to the scholars for writing 'fuck' in my previous white journal entry and making that an official part of the archives.
Shit! I did it again.
And now I've written 'shit' too.
Oh crap.
I'm going to stop now.

Does anyone want an older sister? I have one available. Nice hair. Smart. Completely exasperating -- but don't let that deter you. Best offers entertained.

Relationship Note on Belladonna
Oh for goodness' sake...
Please forgive a poorly worded journal entry. What was written as '-- there is someone no one openly mourns --' should have been penned as '-- there is someone -nearly- no one openly mourns --'. I certainly was not attempting to corner the market on Abbas-mourning or diminish his sister's grief.
I wish the man were still with us.
I wish more mourned his passing.
That is all.

Relationship Note on Abbas
The conflict is over, the battles have been fought and the price of victory has been paid -- there have been so many losses, it makes the heart ache. Most of my loved ones have, thankfully, returned home but I mourn for those families that now have holes that cannot be filled. We raise our voices in remembrance and vow to never forget their sacrifice.
Yet there is someone no one openly mourns. Someone most are eager to forget.
Perhaps it is impolitic to be sad over the loss of Abbas. I know that he was responsible for horrific actions in his lifetime. I did not know him for very long but he always showed kindness to me and to those I love. Does that balance out the things that he did? Of course not but the measure of a person is not wholly black or white; humans are complex beings that cannot be distilled down into such simplistic terms. He left for war a man stripped of everything, a man seeking a path to redemption. It makes my heart sad that he left this world before being able to achieve that.
Maybe the world at large does not miss you, Abbas. But I do. You big jerk.

People that I love -- some have come home, some are gone, some are still hang in the balance.
As present becomes history, war is remembered for the battles won and the heroic undertakings and sacrifices made to achieve them. However, right now? War is a list of names of people who do not get to return to their families, of orphans made, of lives changed forever.
And it aches.

What happened to the princess(es)? Did the knight vanquish the evil wizard? Did the evil wizard rework his plan? And what of the dragon? I suppose of all my unanswered questions, the following is most pressing --
Did the dragon eat them all? Please circle your answer: y/n
Some of us really, really want to know!

Relationship Note on Saoirse
I look at Stumphrey. I look at his silly, happy, fluffy face and I wonder:
Is it true? Are you really the monster she claims you are?
I mean, he destroyed something irreplaceable, something utterly dear to her. I can never make that right! And he sits here looking at me, no regret in his little doggy face. Does he even understand what he's done? What he's burdened me with?
I just .. I just can't.
Oh Stumphrey. How COULD you?!

Relationship Note on Rymarr
Oh, I definitely support the idea of an otter! Otters are delightful and, because they are so wiggly, the light will positively dance off its sequins.
But in all seriousness: you were a wonderful competitor and your excellence challenged me to do my best. I applaud you!

I attended the Deepwood party and it was oh so much fun! I entered an ice dancing contest and I won! Well, I should give some credit to Stumphrey because he certainly won the crowd but since he cannot wear the prize -- a positively goooorgeous cloak -- I am going to say that the win was mine. I was able to spend time with lovely friends and, in these days leading up to conflict, it is important to remember what it is that we all hold so dear.
Speaking of things held dear -- the joy of the night was dampened by the realization that Stumphrey ate Princess Saoirse's slipper. It belonged to her mother and held great sentimental value. I feel AWFUL.
Bad dog, Stumphrey. BAD DOG.

I really wish Cassima would pool her money with me. I hear there is a delicious pie recipe out there and pre-ordering it will help orphans. Poor, poor orphans! Won't someone think of the orphans?
I mean, pie and charity. What isn't there to love?!

Relationship Note on Courage
I met the most interesting man today! His name was Courage and all he could speak about was the plight of poor orphans. It was amazing just how selfless he was! No matter how much money we gave him, all he could think about was how he could use that money to help the unfortunate. It truly touched my heart.
A funny though: I treated him to a drink and he has amazingly expensive taste in wine. While I was initially surprised when I received the bill, the more I thought on it, the more it made sense. Certainly it is because he gives all his money to the unfortunate and is unfamiliar with wine; he likely just chose something blindly off the menu.
Yes, that must be it!

I know we are all supposed to be claiming flowers for ourselves but I cannot even focus on such things right now because I just bought a hat and it is SO fabulous. It makes me want to put it on, pull it down at a sassy angle and conquer all obstacles before me.

Cassima took me to an estate event today. It was glorious and oh so much fun! There were so many things to pick through -- I found several books, a crown of flowers, a dagger, and a block of cheese! Sure, it was a little bit moldy but other than that: perfectly good cheese. Plus, it was worth the look on Cassima's face when I showed it to her; anything that shakes her out of her reserve is a worthy prize. I dub it:
'The Cheese That Will Get Cassima to Love Life'
I also found a bit of soap on a rope. What a silly thing! It made me laugh so I snatched it up and sent it to Tomwell. He's been so busy helping Fairen with Leary business that he's had hardly any time to devote to singing, dancing and poetry; I figured he would appreciate a good chuckle. Plus, who couldn't use some soap? It's a gift that is funny AND useful!
