Rituals that cleanse and take, give and ask. I'm still lost in it, musing over the future; what will be, what might be, how it ends.
I babble, scholar, forgive me; but you see, yeah? I'm smiling. I'm beyond ... I don't know.
I've a job to do, don't I? This chaotic world and there are still some things that must be done, a beginning, a middle, and an end. It's the way it is to see it properly through. My hands are the beginning for so many. -So many-.
I'll be dizzy on this for days.
Oh, Felicia. If only I could tell you.

Relationship Note on Fiora
My cousin is back and really just as social as everywhere. But I missed her. And Finn defintely missed her as well. Next stop? Calo and Lina. For I have no doubt they'll love her just as much as the rest of us.

Winter camping with a friend. I even learned something new! I feel like this was a much needed trip out of the city for me. I hope we do it again!

I cherish my hair! It is my prized possession amongst prized possessions, and I would sacrifice the rest in a heartbeat to retain it. I'm just curious, why are all the hair-centric celebrities I know of blonde or redheaded?
This is not to asperse either hair color (I am notably an admirer), but in my opinion, brunettes aren't getting NEARLY enough love!
Of course, I could be completely missing something; sometimes my hair gets in my eyes!

Today brought two unexpected things.
One was preaching the virtues of Limerance quite unintentionally.
The other was weaponizing the term "neutral" to great effect.
I wonder what tomorrow will bring.

"I will find you."
I spent the last three years trying to hold true to my last promise to you. Three years to have made myself a liar.
I still wake up to the feeling of your hand slipping from mine. Of watching you fall overboard with Aelia.
I don't think those dreams are ever going away.
Not so long as I have one last promise to keep.
I will find you.

I met Felicia once on an adventure into the cold waters, but I know she was incredibly important to people who I care for. She was incredibly brave and cunning. It os a vacancy I can only witness from afar. I know that others feel the empty ache.. but I hope with it comes the desire to live their lives as she'd have encouraged.
Rest well , brave Harrow and hurry back.

Relationship Note on Jaenelle
Poison - It has definitely been an adventure.
To the whites - there is a strange moment in a man's life when he is there to witness the birth of his child. My first child was a girl. Which taught me a lot about such things. This child a boy. I was excited by that until --- there was another one. We have had twins and frankly, it was a shock for us all. It shouldn't have been considering my wife's family tree, but it was.
Jaenelle did beautifully as only she could while I was a mere helpless viewer of the event. My son, Herik and my daughter, Theia have arrived.

My mother told me to visit more often or she'd make a point of dropping by my house unannounced, at an hour I'd never expect. Scared me into scheduling my next ten visits these next few months, let me tell you.

Felicia Harrow.
A complicated women who knew more than any can say, about so many things. A hand I grasped in more ways than I can explain, have the right to explain, who pulled me from obscurity and taught me that I could do more than I was. That I can keep my secrets and use them to help others regardless of what others might say.
Anything I'd write wouldn't do her justice. Her soul's journey is going on over the edge of the horizon, beyond what we can see or remember; I hope I see her again. I hope I can help close her chapter for the benefit of her kin but also for myself. Is that selfish? It probably is. But for all the help she gave me, I'll see her story through to the end. It's important.

I must scold myself for being so wrapped up in the current events that I have not given myself proper time to visit with Vellichor and make use of these journals. There is so much importance to keeping such a tradition that stretches beyond the mundane. It matters not if my writings be of simple things such as how I spent my day or a conversation I had with my sister about how we would like to add more fragrant herbs to our dishes. It matters because at one time we lost all of these little nuances and the history of our existence was myth and only slowly trickled back into consciousness little by little.
There is so much happening around me presently, so much bleakness and darkness, but I do not wish to focus on those things. It is Winter now. I understand many do not enjoy the cold, but there is something pure and cleansing to the soul during this time. It feels quiet and calm, serene even. The night sky is often so clear one can see straight into the heavens, where the twinkling of stars seems almost hypnotizing. Once the cold reaches the bones, retreating indoors to sit by the fire with a cup of cocoa, wrapped in layers of fur blankets is the most soothing sensation. It is comforting and safe. It is a moment of peace seldom felt.

"I have spent the last couple days since my arrival trying to get more acclimated to being in the city again. Seems there is much going on and still more that I am going to be needing to learn. Everyone however has been more then willing to help and welcoming. I am glad that I made the return.

A battlefield I once knew well and fit, like a well masoned brick to complete a myriad of stonework. Flipped upside down upon my arrival to Arx. Having to adapt has been harder than I would like to admit.

Relationship Note on Felicia
I miss my friend Felicia more than I can frame in words. Last night I poured two tumblers of whiskey, one for me and one for her. I just sat with her memory, her bravery and perseverance, her smile. As for the work she left unfinished, the rest of us will have to step into those traces, help pull the load.

Relationship Note on Felicia
I don't have words right now, but I hope to have them soon. For now, I'll say the expected thing.
You will be missed, dear friend. The Explorers will celebrate your life as we have all others who have come before you. You were an unsung hero of the Compact that the Compact didn't know it needed.
I will write a ranting, rambling entry later that includes remembrances and exploits; maybe even some of the more unbelievable ones as well.
When words find me again.

It was quite an honor to have been able to attend a rather gala affair among my betters. And according to what many have said, the mere fact that I was able to stay afloat and not sink should be considered an accomplishment. I leave the rest of the naval innuendos to those who are of far higher standard than I and can endure such.
