Oh. My. Goodness. Floofkins is SO CUTE. Princess Caith asked if I preferred kittens or puppies, and I said kittens, naturally, thinking of how sly and sleek they grow to be... but Floofkins is just a big ball of fluff, and I love him!

I really do intensely dislike the cold of an Arxian winter. If nothing else this experience has served to remind me why I usually spend them holed up in my pleasantly warm and comfortable room. Still: the Tournament of Thorns qualifiers seem to be going well -- I've had a lot of interest, and a lot of compliments to my painting, which I admit I'm not adverse to. It's also been nice to see a lot of faces I normally don't get to see while I'm hiding away.
The pleasure on people's faces when they figure out the clue of it all is entirely worth the cold.
...Mostly worth it.

People who whisper in groups around a dinner table should be loudly scolded and informed of the error of their ways.
If anyone who like to see an example of this then by all means whisper in my presence at dinner.

It occurs to me that some think of me as queer or not entirely in touch with reality as a result of speaking openly of things they have been raised to think of as tales.
It makes me wonder if these people think the queen just has a birth defect of ears shaped like no human's. If they only follow ten gods still instead of the three that were rediscovered.
Eh.

You know, I am not going to lie. I was actually coming to take a look at the people who are spouting off about magic and what have you and ran into this.
My reality when I came to Arx properly. I was the opposite, I didn't really think much of myself and looked over at this city and would just think. "I wonder how much money I can make before I end up a cripple or dead?" As my time here has gone onwards, the city properly has been a fairly constant offer of opportunity and actually having friends and genuine connections with people and that within itself is just precious.
I remember seeing you cry as you took off from the explorers hall the other day and reading your entry makes me think a bit more about you. If you're worried about what you're becoming need to keep in mind. You can always be better if you just try. The effort needed to be better is likely hard but you have people who do support you. But to start on that path it's up to you and if you want to be more like how you used to be? I think you'd be better off if you did it.
If you're still at the point of worrying what you've become. You still have time. Make the most out of it.

For some reason it seems now is an appropriate time to muse on the fact that a good number of my brothers and sisters of the Templars serve as Knights of the Library, standing guard within the Archive and working with the Scholars.

I was stunned to hear from Princess Catriona's own mouth that she's to pose nude for a painting -- but I'm sure she'll find a lot of eager artisans keen to seek that commission, so I wish her luck in fending them off!

With the help of Countess Mikani Byrne, I tried to return the things from the chests to the Eurusi who are recovering in the Saving Grace.
They wanted nothing to do with the things, or even compensation for them, due to the fact that the slavers were the owners of them. I tried though.

Sometimes you forget how much you enjoy someone's company, until you're denied it. So it is with Giuliano. I hadn't realised how much I missed his company and the conversations we would have when I was growing up, and I couldn't be more delighted that he's joined us now in Arx.

Spring is on the way. Just a few more days. That is what I tell my two year old twins with cold reddened cheeks and runny noses, lost gloves and an array of outgrown boots into which they have stuffed plushie paws. And plushies, and blocks, and my lost hairpins. I wondered where those had gone. They are at the age where they do not remember last spring. I'll enjoy the coming change of season even more as I share it with them.

For me it has been a quiet week, working to help my family with various projects and grumbling about all the clothing I am not fitting into any more.
I suppose I should take advantage and have the old clothing given away or taken apart, so I can get new. Preferably in a few months, so it will last. In the meantime, laces and lots of material are my friends

Sir Preston,
In your journal of 3/25/1011 (OOC: June 6, 2019) you write about choice and questions. I passionately agree with you when you say, "Choice is not something to be taken or discarded simply", but I disagree on other things you say.
I feel that questions made in good faith can be shared with others without fomenting discord. It is questions made in poor faith that do so. I have to ask questions of others sometimes because I do not have the wisdom within myself to reach an answer based only on introspection.
Emissary Zulana gave a talk on writs recently, and I am mulling over all of the questions I have. Over time I may begin to ask questions of others.

When someone I love is poorly then I watch over them when they sleep.
I prefer them not knowing I am there. I don't know why that is. Perhaps it is a character flaw on my behalf.

All children need to be reminded at times of what we as adults may know to be inappropriate or dangerous behavior. I would think the children of the Faith to be no different, Archscholar. A heavy burden to bear and one I do not envy of the Faith leadership.
Please note that the scholars may take some time preparing your journal for others to read.
