I'm going to have to update my will again. But, if that is my only worry, then I am getting off lightly. Some leave their whole families behind, not knowing if they will come back.

I'll leave Silk at the shrine with the other spiders while I am gone. I hope she gets along well with them.

Whatever! How hard can it be?

It is done! The song! It is so much better to work with brilliant minds, than having to rely solely on my own.

The song is bloody brilliant, if I may say so. My ability to chaotically and quickly throw something together that is a good base, Lord Mirk's sharp focus and attention to detail, and Lord Savio's near magical skill with words, put together into a song of wonder.

Relationship Note on Talia

Dear Talia,

I miss you more than I can even explain. There were so many things I wanted to tell you but never did, and I live with many regrets. But, perhaps you know it now, now that you have come to Death's home and await a new turn on the wheel.

I sorted out your will as you wanted it, but with one exception; I thought the steelsilk gown, A Visit from Inspiration, should not hang in my house for only me to see, so I have given it to the Disciples of Jayus so everyone can see your work, and to be inspired. I can go there and look at it whenever I want. Inspiration herself will understand this. I have many memories of her at my home already, so it is alright.

I kept the Mask of the Spider Maiden for myself. It is a good memory of you. I only have good memories of you, in fact, and for that, I am very glad.

I tend not to write things like this, since - despite that I am a follower of Death and all, I find the notion of wishing to meet again in another life a little strange, cause we're not the same person anyway - but I sincerely do wish that we do meet again, in another life.

Excited to go to Tor at some point in the near future, for some important work. Hopefully my health issues are over by then, but I will go either or. Tor is my favorite city and when I am old I hope to retire to there.

Had a most RIVETING time at the archives today, with good friends, and most clever minds. We found something - a fragment of what we need, but we can use that to build something from.

It draws closer, and I am longing - rarely have I wanted something so much in my life.

Relationship Note on Mirari

A much belated reply; yes, I only live once.

I have been working the market again lately, which I do sporadically when I feel like it, and when I need some more money. I'm doing well enough, but soon as I make enough to have a decent buffer, I find something that I absolutely MUST buy.

Oh well, I only live once.

Well, new beginnings are fun! If you want to be one, go for it.

While being sort of convalecent - when did I start using that word so much?! - I have delved further into the adventure of discovery of old lore, myth and legend. To believe I used to think reading was a waste of time, even boring! Now I make excited noises finding new parts of history - well, new to me, that is. I spend half the night with my nose buried in books, I forget to eat sometimes. I do not even really go to social events - I find that it is hard to maintain social graces with my condition. I might smash some furniture again, and that would be so very awkward - I hate to ruin the mood when I normally spread cheer. But! Fear not, I shall soon be fine again and no doubt back on the social scene. Mean while, small gatherings with good friends is very fullfilling, even more so if we talk history.

Relationship Note on Clover

The market regulates itself. If someone sells high someone will undercut and they will have to lower the price or make no money.

If you go to the market now you can see that this is already happening.

But I mean, if someone is smart and sells something that is hard to get by for a good profit, that is just good business.

Been a nice, social week! I went to Mockingbird Nina's lovely singing lessons. I do apologize to everyone, I had a small break down. All good now! No more smashed lutes in the near future, or far future either, hopefully. I best not make any too large promises. Who knows when a bard needs to smash his lute on something, after all?

Went to Lady Medeia's and Cesare Whispers LOVELY birthday party, brought some gifts even. It was VERY nice, with a few grumbly discontents around and this mysterious woman who I am sure to not forget any time soon.

Finding myself with plenty of free time, I've delved into research again, and having caught up with people wishing to meet me for various reasons. It's been a few very interesting weeks, with new acquaintances and dare I say, even friends. There's something so satisfactory sitting near a fireplace, discussing an interesting historical topic, learning more or sharing knowledge with someone else.

I walked around for an hour searching for Josie's shop, key in hand. I had to stop and ponder if I had accidentally eaten or imbibed some drug and was hallucinating it, cause it was not there. But then when I asked people on the street, they were equally confused or just laughed and said things like, surely it is just round the corner, a house does not just disappear.

Anyway! I mean, it is probably that someone just rebuilt it heavily. Must be it. I suppose I should make this key into a necklace or something.

What a joyful but also thought provoking event the On Time poetry event turned out to be. Marquessa Lianne is such a wonderful host and the guests wrote such lovely work.

Went to the shop this morning and a large container of milk fell down from the rafters, probably having teetered on the edge and knocked down by me closing the door.

I got drenched in milk. Is this a warning from someone? Did I upset someone?! Is this the... GHOST COW.

I have started working on the big act to be presented later in the summer. At least in my head. I mean, how hard can it be?

My garden is quite lovely this summer, after the work that was done on it last year. There are a lot of roses, a flower one can not get too many of.

Now fully recovered I am getting restless and long for travel and exploring again. But I have a few such fun times coming up, two opposing directions.

Relationship Note on Valenzo

I remember a children's rhyme from when I grew up in the Lowers.

Apple papple, pirum parum
Crow sat on the aspen branch
He said one, he said two
The one to go is you!

I just remembered it. I don't even remember what exactly it was used for - I think it was some sort of elimination game.

I woke up yesterday, did the usual morning activities, and headed out to take care of some business. I realised when walking up the hill to city center that I felt like I did before the wounds. That I had recovered fully. I celebrated by doing a small performance right there on the street, cheering up people.

I decided it is time to work on that play I have wanted to do for a long time.

Patience is not my virtue, but I have had the fortune of being treated by the best healers of Arx - you know all who you are - and I have doggedly kept doing the exersises they told me to do.

This morning I realised to my surprise, I could move my shoulder and arm normally again. I'm still a bit weak, but the mobility is back.

Thank you, Mercies and Physicians, for all your work, not only from a personal point of view, but for everything you do to aid those that are ill, wounded, broken.

I also send a thank you to Marquessa Sunniva Harthall who taught me the basics of the healing arts, so that I can now help others. I did not realise at the time how much this would mean to me, nor did I ever in my wildest dreams think that I would ever sew together a cut in someone's flesh, if someone had asked me as early as a year ago.

Change and new beginnings, all in one.

I was helping out at Saving Grace when Valenzo wanders in, needing some care of a healer. Best day in a long time, seeing him again. We have some serious catching up to do, but it also feels like I saw him just yesterday.
