it was embarrassing to be taken so surprise by the snowstorm, though truly I had not anticipated its ferocity. I need to design some attire better suited for Arx's winter. I was lucky to encounter my Lord Liam, and truly our brief discussion was more than intriguing - courtly and kind, he is an interesting person.

While I have only been in Arx a few days, I have already met such warm and generous women. last night, walking amidst the cold winter night of a new year with new hope, I encountered the Princess Sabelle, so truly the People's Princess, combining elegance and grace with mirth and kindness. She has so graciously offered to introduce me to others who may advance my scholarship of strategy and war, through library access and conversation.
I also met the gracious and warm Lady Mabelle, and I feel so drawn to speak with both herself and the princess more. It seems a terrible tragedy and loss has afflicted House Laurent, and my heart grieves for them. Such losses are hard to speak of, and harder to mourn.
Deepwood, too, has known such loss.
May this New year be one that brings solace to all who grieve, and perhaps ... I dare to hope ... the balm of new friendships.

The Princess Liara is beyond generous with her friendly welcome -- and generous with sharing her wisdom, too, which I will take to heart. And pastries! Arx is rather overwhelming to a newcomer, but fortified with jam consolations, who can go wrong?

Relationship Note on Samantha
I am come to Arx! For many months I have studied out at Old Oak, but the kind Marquessa Samantha urged me to come to the city. I am not yet sure why, but I was glad to come here for it will surely be interesting, even if perplexing. I feel most warmly towards Marquessa Samantha, and I am grateful to be sheltered under the Deepwood leaves.
Truly though, it is hard at times not to think - why are we all so afflicted? The deaths of our family - and then, at Deepwood, the death of my so-brief husband and so many others. Truly, the world is at times soaked in a scarlet tissue of grief.
Yet honour is a gleaming solace amidst all of this.
