Family is everything. Without them, those by blood and choice, I would be lost.

It might be the little things. I have been wearing far too much black as of late, though umbra is beautiful, I feel it is time to add some color to life. The little things are sometimes what keeps you grounded into the here and now, and not lost in the endless what ifs.

Relationship Note on Luca
I miss stepping over you in the hallway, only to stop every third trip over to sit beside you on the floor for a stolen moment of friendship. I still take an overly large step when I reach that spot, and I will always sit on the floor even if you are no longer able to just to remember you fondly.
You were so much more than you let anyone see, and I will always hold dear that you allowed me to see some of those parts.
Till next time, Luca.

When I first came to Arx, you gave me a necklace, one in which I still wear so many years afterwards. As a sailor, you said the stars will always guide you in the direction home, they were the one constant when there was no other light around. Years pass, people change and drift so far apart that they are no longer the same, and then too much time has passed to make sense of what was. Friendships end. You were always troubled, but I hope that you will find your stars once more.

I have recently equated the losses I have felt as being one of four carriage wheels. For years these wheels moved with similar purpose, for years they were in unison to fulfill the goals that were set before them, each one with a role in traversing the bumps, and holes, and obstacles that were on the road before us. Slowly the wheel beside me left, the wheel I relied most heavily on to keep balance, he was my partner, and he is gone. Next the other two before us could no longer remain, yet the carriage was expected to move forward, always forward. The only problem is that there was only a single wheel left, just one to keep the carriage as it once was.
The carriage must always move forward, that is the only constant, and overtime I have been blessed with new wheels to see that it does so. Different wheels, but strong and determined never the less. And now...I find that I am no longer simply one of the wheels, but the driver of the carriage.

I found a muse when I arrived at Lady Videl's encouraging social. Though I may not have had the chance to pick up a brush, it has given me new ideas for picking up a hobby. Sometimes it is good to be able to extend yourself into something that is not a meeting, though they require a special set of skills as well.

Relationship Note on Joscelin
There is a difference between plans and the physical. One can purchase the materials, one can come up with grand ideas for how something should look, but there is something to be said about holding the pieces in your hand and marveling at what can only be said as being better than imagination. It is not only jewelry, it has become more than metal and baubles and sparkly bits. They are beautiful works of art, and I don't believe I have ever owned something as breathtaking as this set.
Thank you, Joscelin. There are no words.

The Great Grayson Ball was lovely, and I was honored to attend. It was refreshing to simply enjoy the moment without additional thoughts beyond listening to the beautiful music and moving along to the rhythm. The Grayson hospitality is only matched by Velenosa's.

I had the pleasure of finally meeting the Radiant Emeritus. She is everything that others have said she was and much more. She embodies what it means to be a Whisper, and I am honored to work more closely with her as our relationship progressed through patronage.

Relationship Note on Mydas
Ettore Mydas Velenosa, do remember some of the vows I made to you on our wedding day.
In the Queen of Endings' grace, I vow each moment is spent as if it were our last together. That nothing is taken for granted and when our times come to return to the wheel that we will both have found that contentment that we sought in each other, and find that Death's embrace is found to hold no regrets. In Vellichor's grace, I vow to remember. Even should Death come for you first, you will be remembered long after, your story shared with our children and theirs after.
What will I tell him of you? How will I tell him everything he needs to know when he is old enough? Will I remember everything he deserves to know?
I hope when the time comes I can tell him that you were redeeming yourself, how you were changing for the better and it was because of him that you were able to see the light. I will tell him despite other's insistence, you smiled often and laughed with your entire being. I will tell him how wonderfully stubborn you were with everyone but his mother, and with her you were gentle and kind and loving, without question or stipulations. I will tell him there was a darkness inside of you, that you were far from perfect and you had your own terrors to fight but you had the desire and willpower to overcome those obstacles.
He loved you, Vittore, more than I could write here but I will do my best to make sure you know that love till the very last.

I am almost positive I am not planning a divorce at the moment. Life is far too busy, and my husband is effective and productive. It is easier to stay married, I think. Plus, he isn't that bad.

So it is finally completed. Over a year of planning and what seems to be forever of building, the Princess Jaenelle Velenosa Library of Lenosia's doors are finally opened to the public. I have been involved in other projects of course, the Embassy building and all, but this was a project that was completely personal. I can not wait to go there and see it in person.
As for the name, that was a surprise. I did not think of a name, assuming that it would always be the Lenosia Library but Eleyna had planned it out to have it named after me. I have never been more honored or touched by any gift, and now I will always strive to be worthy enough to be remembered in such a way.

I was sitting in the tea shop and someone came in and THREW a teacup at the person I was sitting with. He threw multiple teacups at her HEAD without any sort of warning. I am not sure how I would explain to Edain that I was enjoying tea when my guards stabbed someone in his ward because a teacup cracked my skull open and I died to head trauma.

Relationship Note on Valerius
So my baby brother has finally gotten betrothed. I look forward to having him closer to me, in the same ward once more. I can not really express how much I have missed him, how much I have missed all my siblings with everything going on. While I can never again be my brother's protector as Leona and I once were I am still very much willing to make lives miserable on his behalf should they mistreat him.

I'm not sure why people feel the need to attempt to ruin perfectly good parties by attacking guests and causing chaos, but perhaps next time there should be a moments pause to think about which ward you're in and those in attendance before you attempt? It was disappointing to see everyone surrender so easily!

Relationship Note on Amari
I was quite pleased with the titles you have come up with! I am fond of Queen Symonesse, and while she is the sweetest and most generous person I have ever had the pleasure of sharing tea with (she adores tea, and should any wish to offer her a gift, tea or night blooming flowers would make her thrilled) I would not feel comfortable being refereed to as "Queen" of anything. Perhaps I shall have to come up with something after all.

I dont find a need a new title to express my Ministry positions. I think the account balances in the bank speak for themselves as does the fact that I have not heard of anyone being swallowed by a pothole recently.
