I apologize it's been so long since I updated you on the many interesting things going on in my life. I fear it has simply been far too chaotic these last months. I have fought and saved unicorns, I have gone on adventures, I have learned things, I have lost things, I have been cursed, I have found a way to something I dearly wished and then felt it slip through my grasp, I have stumbled accidentally into success.
I have had joy, and I have suffered. I have learned that one must, to succeed, fail. I have learned that one must, to grow, ache. I have learned that what is boring once may become a familiar comfort later.
Life is strange. And beautiful that way.
Splendiferously,
Lady Tessa Moore

I have been absent again, I known, it's tragic. I have been... occupied with a mystery that is, believe it or not, perhaps too big to fit in my mind all at once but at the same time so small and simple. It is a question and an impulsive, a puzzle and a direction.
Open the window or shut the door.
I suppose it's a matter of wanting fresh air, or familiar comfort isn't it?
If you actually understand, then you know where I am.
Positively Pensive,
T.

1. I think wedding rings ought to be made of cold, hard iron, with rough edges. Maybe they soften over time, maybe you get used to the weight, but they shouldn't be easy things, they shouldn't be pretty things.
2. A spouse should chafe a bit in the beginning, to rub away your own rough edges. There needs to be friction to wear a groove in each other's lives to make room for one another. Brittle things break easily, lots of people are brittle.
3. I think people lie too much about who and what they are, they shouldn't do that.
4. If I ever have to marry someone (which is still a big IF, I really rather like the idea of having a long string of paramours and giving Countess Kennex grey hairs with new dinner dates every gathering), I want it to be someone greater than me, not less. Not in status, or wealth (though those things are fabulous if they can be had!) but in person. I think too many are looking for a puppy in a spouse, someone they can leash and train and control, who will protect and serve and comfort them on their own terms. Which is stupid!
I want a piece of the sun. I want a mountain. I want someone even I can't move or contain. I want a man that will never be afraid of my own shine, who will never feel like he has to keep me small so I 'need' him, who will never feel intimidated when I succeed. And very most of all, one who knows sometimes I'll throw things at him but that doesn't mean I don't like him any more and is okay with that.

I hope no one kills Petrichor's critter bunnies.... everyone should look for black bandana's or ribbons on bunnies before they kill them. Or ask them for directions.

I am back, I am alive, and I feel... INVIGORATED!
I do not believe I have ever seen the world so clearly as when terrible horrors were crawling out of the sea trying to kill me and people I know. And... I kinda wanna do it again.
Resolutions:
Complete the list of Things to Do
Get better at killing things with bow
Get better at killing things period
Victory shopping is done (but there can ALWAYS be more)
Drink

1 - Project cloths line - Killing enemies and looking good while doing it
2 - Drinks with Mother Nature - Learning more about Petrichor and how to help
2.5 - Acquire an adorable baby cougar friend - Not sure the guard dogs will be down with this
3 - Monsters need to die - The soul eaters got to go, they're gross.
3.5 - Finalize the Fearless roster - it's going to be important to getting this done
4 - Celebrate! - If we live through everything above there's got to be a party, and a new dress, probably jewelry too. Let's be real. Definitely jewelry too. And the King will probably need some new clothes too.
5 - First Children Outreach - Found 'em once, can do it again, especially when the soul eaters are gone
6 - Convince the Keaton's to help with project Doom Groom - If they could only see that the swearing and the fighting and the drinking and the stabbing... those are some of his best qualities!
7 - Fabulous! - Everything's happy again and back to bouncing around the city merrily.

1. If you want something, don't tell anyone you want it until it's already in your grasp, they'll just take it away from you
2. Tears are better than diamonds for getting you out of situations you don't want to be in.
Splendiferously annoyed,
Tessa

I have neglected you of late and for that I apologize. I have had many adventures (monsters, adorable forest animals and Unicorns were all involved) and met some dashing knights and even more dashing rogues, and I will give everyone all the details eventually. If I live.
Duty's gotten her hooks into me and I am going off to war. I KNOW. It's going to be messy. And dirty. And probably not terribly fun.
But a girl has to do what a girl has to do and sometimes that's slaughter enemies by the scores!
If I die. Be splendiferous.
If I live, we can have a party when I get back. And then there's some monsters that need to be slain.

Some people are afraid for their lives.
Some people are not.
Both have their uses.

Oh and baby mountain lions are ADORABLE with little bandanas on their heads.

If you are ever invited to a Lyceum pool party go. But make sure you bring a strong and athletic date as you will need one.

Relationship Note on Driskell
Two days in a row now I have had holy men visit the cottage and I have been VERY good and proper. Now today it was Brother Driskell, who is not the silver fox that the Holy Father of Concepts is but would be handsome still if he would JUST SMILE A LITTLE more!
I have determined that we shall make Brother Driskell much happier of a man, so darling readers if you happen to see the Brother PLEASE say something kindly to him. If you do you will have my thanks and gratitude.
Splendiferiously,
Lady Tessa Moore
