I keep imagining Lord Michael Bisland riding a bull, and the mental image just seems so very right, somehow.

It's funny how kindness can come from an unlikely source at an unlikely time. Unexpected, perhaps, but certainly appreciated. It reminds me also that I must resist the urge to make quick, easy judgements about people when I do not know the details of their past.

There's room for a dab of levity, even during trying times. Perhaps especially during trying times.

Relationship Note on Sabella
A true friend, golden-hearted and warm as the sun. I'll always be thankful for her endless support and kindness. If only I could still be Princess Sabella's protege, but alas, I cannot. Still, I'm very happy for the lucky souls who get to enjoy her patronage in the future. They will not be disappointed!

It was such a delight to spend time with Lady Monique Greenmarch and Archlector Etienne. I'm always so happy to be around kind people who make me feel comfortable in their company, and they made me feel so welcome. Pharamond and I had a lovely evening.

Alright, that's it. I'm sending packed lunches to the barracks for you.

Hope for the best and prepare for the worst. But always, always hope.
I feel like there's so much good being done right now. People are working to bring their dreams into reality. They're giving themselves to their causes to bring about positive change and do fantastic things. I find that heartening and beautiful. It's the artistry of the heart and soul, and it's wonderful.

I think I might practice with my lyre more often, between painting and doing other artwork. I'll never be a musician of great talent like my sister, but playing an instrument is a soothing hobby.

I don't think I'm ever going to stop fussing over Cyril. He's too adorable.
I'm sorry we all spoil him so much!

Relationship Note on Sabella
I think one of the worst things about my reclusiveness is that I don't get to spend as much time as I'd like with Princess Sabella. She's just the best patron, and one of the best people I know. Not only for her love of the arts, and for her constant support, but because she's unfailingly kind while also being willing to stand by her principles and respectfully speak up in accordance with them.

Hello, white journal. I don't visit you very often. All of my secret thoughts are held within your darker twin. Meanwhile, you get all the talk of kittens and puppies and flowers, and anguished declarations of my lack of artistic inspiration (as though that's a big deal when there's so much turmoil and suffering beyond the walls of Whitehawk manor).
On a lighter note, Kenna got married and migrated north. I'm so happy that she made a good match, but I can't deny I'll miss our moments of shouting at each other down the halls and through our bedroom doors. I'm too mousey to raise my voice most of the time, but it's fine with Kenna, I can really yell.
Maybe I'll rope Evonleigh into shouting duties. She's got good vocal projection, being an actress. Or Sapphira, but I don't want her to hurt her voice. Or perhaps Silas, or Bedivere. They must have some practice at shouting at the troops. Jyri's good at shouting over the bark of dogs, so there's another possibility. Elora, Delilah, Farrah, Mina or Gaius... probably not. Maybe they could send me some messages in capital letters.
Or I could just go outside more. No shouting needed then.

Cabbit has been in quite the grump since I started spending more time with Princess Muffin. I imagine he'll be spending more time with his Uncle Bedivere now.

One thing that occurs to me, having ventured out of the warmth of my room to come here and read the journals, is that I need to spend more time with my loved ones. These tales of loss remind me that the time we have in this life is too short to be squandered on solitude.
I really need to catch up with my sister Sapphira, especially. It's so nice to have her around.

Relationship Note on Jyri
Such a marvellously talented artist. His depictions of animals are truly remarkable, with an attention to detail that I've rarely seen. It has been absolutely lovely to paint beside him and observe his creativity at work. In addition, he's a person capable of maintaining a quietness that is agreeable to remain within, rather than one that is fraught with awkwardness.

Spiders are wonderful little crafters and artists, aren't they? Their webs look like diamond necklaces when they're dappled with dew. Diamond necklaces that catch flies.

I'm so happy that you're settling in so well. I know how bewildering the city can be when you first arrive. It seems as though you'll thrive here, though, and I'm sure you'd be a wonderful asset to addition to the Physician's Guild and the Academy of War.
Seeing as how you've found your stride already, I'll leave Sally in your capable hands! Any aid that Master Jyri would be able to provide would also be greatly appreciated.

That made my heart nearly burst with happiness. No wonder you're his favourite.

Princess Sally Acorn's babies are due any day now. I was hoping you could help me with this, if you wouldn't mind?
