The last few days have been a blur. I just know that body must have put itself in motion because I don't recall much of what I did. But I'm grateful for it.

[Relationship note on: Edward]
The wind delivers another message to the sea,
Passing between the gates of the port, wild and free,
There's a scent of rum and the nets are torn,
The tale of the forgotten saltwife, waiting for the horn.
He will never know how she envied the ships,
Nor will he hear of her lost sleep,
How every uncertain wind of wrath,
Hit the water and her longing heart.
A single candle in the window, still alight,
The sounds of the harsh seas at night,
The wind delivers a message from the waves,
Silently announcing the death of the brave.
He will never know how she envied the ships,
Nor will he hear of her lost sleep,
How every uncertain wind of wrath,
Hit the water and her longing heart.

More blood and smoke than expected.
I can't fault the foe for resolve: I'd burn the world down afore letting them have it, too.
And Crownlanders: start writing it into your marriage contracts that you need not fight beside another house when they're engaged in open treason.
That were a bitter fucking fruit to swallow: after the mainland has been screeching at us to end thralldom for so long, there are their banners flying alongside the very fuckers fighting to keep it.
This were never going to be a war ended quick. But damnation if it won't take even longer than expected.
I've no fucking time to speak in rhyme, I need a bloody drink.

I will never be held down by the limitations of my physical self. With the help of science and alchemy, a solution can be formulated to help impulse the human body above what it can normally do. Help the sick walk and the weak fight. Never Again will I fail my people because I was not strong enough.

It's been a very long time since someone has properly tried to kill me. I think I must have forgotten how much a blade actually hurts, or I think I would have made more of a point to dodge it. Not only do I have a nasty cut on my side, I have a number of broken ribs.
I am accepting visitors at the House of Solace, as well as gifts - but maybe not hugs for a while.
Anything deep fried or sweet will earn my affection. Food that doesn't require chewing (such as soup) will earn my eventual wrath.

Arx, what a wonderful pile of rocks. Spending time at home bouncing along the coastlines I'd forgotten the smell, but it's a little nostalgic to have walked through the city again. It's still hard, but it feels like an old wound now and I can breathe again. I've been catching up on the news since we docked, still it seems life moves ever faster. It's nice to be home.

Elora gifted me a new pair of caestus yesterday! They are way unbelievably beyond the old ones in quality, lighter and harder and tighter. They have metal bear claws, too! I am very happy with these and will need to get my butt down to the sands and try them out soonest. No real progress on the boat except that the family is looking at purchasing some ships and I may just ride those coattails to take one as my own. Elora is in good shape, the pregnancy without incident andshe has been doing the midwife arrangements. All in all a quiet week but still filled with good news.

Choice. the greatest gift a free person has. The ability to choose. Its so often taken for granted, or even despised, as choice brings consequences.
As battle lines are drawn, we all have made choices, choices of what to fight for, and chocies of what to die for. To all those who stand with the side of slavery, division and strife, i ask that you take this chance you have now. Choose wisely before the consequences come, beacause we are coming.

The storm seven years in growing
With one murder all oaths broke.
Now to battle all ships rowing,
War begun in blood and smoke.
What lay ahead there were no knowing:
Victory, death, or famine's yoke.
"Our wrath unto thy crimes owing,"
So the Lords of Mourning spoke
With one murder all oaths broke.

Relationship Note on Ksenia
Ah, Limerance. How long has it been?
For as much as Arx has changed, its soul remains the same. The Archives creak with the weight of stories old and new; how many more have been added since I last visited? I fear that I will spend many a lifetime ere I satisfy the curiosity, not only of the stories of Arvum but tales from other lands too.
While exploring the Great Library and waiting for my cookies to cool, I came across a most remarkable woman hailing from the eastern edge of the Mourning Isles. Though our time was short, it was spent in delightful discussion and I hope to see where her path in Arx will lead. Alas, I had forgotten what I had sought for in the Stacks by then, but no doubt I will be prepared to do what I came there to do next time.
The cookies will certainly be ready, of course!

The last time we met, I came to you scared and left braver than ever.
You were an incredible woman. A role model. A Way Forward. My sister by more than marriage, and my friend.
I will never forget.

I always told people you chose the sea over me.
How guilty do I feel that it ended up being your brutal end?
Quite.

Was I your friend, or a means to an end
Conviction erodes to a blur
Now you are gone, lost somewhere beyond,
And I don't know what we were.

Relationship Note on Margot
There are some people in life you meet once, twice, three, or just a handful of times. The Duchess Margot Tyde was one of those people and each meeting I still remember years later.
She understood the narrow walkway of ruling House Tyde, of leadership. Of wishes and wants over what was best. She survived and then thrived as Duchess, rebuilding what Tyde had lost from the rebellion.
Her son, fortunate to have met him once, was cheeky but well-educated. He knew the position he would find himself in already at that young age.
May he be found, may justice be served.

As Lord Triton has already said, I'm expecting. A late spring birth, no less. I'm hoping to hear back from the First Harlequin soon.
