There's a certain unknown about this park. Nightingale park, they call it, certainly due to the all manner of birds that trek amongst its trees. Desolated trees, now that Autumn has finally hit and the leaves died, having gone somewhere nice.
But birds are silent when daylight dies, goodfolk having turned in to sleep away the witching hour. And yet here's my soul, anxious- wide awake, sitting on a bench amidst the cold of night surrounded by nothing but the faint, blued glimmer of the haphazardly put lanterns scattered about. To think I'm archiving experiences of my inability to sleep and find rest in the long of night must be rather comical to whosoever's following my trail of paperwork.
The stillness of this place inundates upon you a feeling of unknown. The swaying of crusty, bronzed leaves across the air, spinning as only wind has them, over empty and desolated benches, iced cold over a nice layer of unforgiving weather. I couldn't care less for the unsavory coordination that often visits, there's nobility to this place; nobility unlike that of our monarchic line. Something about the baroque walls that cordone this patch of land, the foetid smell of some dead animal thrown about, and the noisome rattling and kicking of the wind. I love it.
It feels just like home.

Teach it to bite people you don't like? You can possibly teach it to seek out these people and bite their ankles when they least expect it.

There are rumors filtering into the city today. Parchments scattered across the surface of my worktable, interesting little snippets heard here and there from my various assistants in the Academy and Archives. Why do I have a feeling that you knew exactly what was going to happen?

Very impressed with the work Count Kael, Countess Reigna, and Whisper Natalia have put into establishing the Academy of War here in the Crown Ward. The Compact will surely benefit from the sharpened minds and wits from those who take its instruction. Perhaps I'll even be able to find the time to hold a guest lecture of my own on a subject like diplomacy.

Relationship Note on Violet
Congratulations on the contracts you've succeeded on. I don't know why but as I was sitting down to write I thought about it and wanted to document it because it seemed important to note. I was going to write something else pertaining to this but it's fled my mind. Which reminds me, that I'm pretty sure there was something else I was supposed to be doing.

I can not wait soon I will be going back to the Isles, it will be nice to be there again its only been two years but it almost feels like a life time. Perhaps I will even have time to see my parents and tell them of Leif.

Book,
What we learned at dinner tonight in Tyde is disturbing, to say the least, my sworn duty comes before all else here and I have made necessary adjustments to counter as much as I can given the circumstances. We are prepared, and we will not be intimidated, we are Thrax.
It should also be noted the food was absolutely wonderful.

After attempting to manage the household alone, I believe that I may think about seeking out the aid of a trusted person to assign as Minister. It all comes down to who to trust.

Relationship Note on Sorrel
Book,
Being at sea has been refreshing to my soul, and letting Sorrel experience sailing on a long trip with Thrax has been a real joy to my heart. She is not just beautiful and deadly, she adapts well and her sea legs are growing at a rapid pace, probably has something to do with all her dancing skills.
I truly am a blessed man.

Amaretto Joy, Heart's Caress, Black Tower Cordial -- I wonder which of these will be more sought after.
Or if they will even supplant Southern Thunder?

It troubles me that so much tragedy has befallen the scholars of the city. I've been contemplating on this for a while now and I am saddened that I never got a chance to meet with any of them before their passing.

So, Mirari told me that her father, my uncle, had returned to the city. And more then that, he even said that my mother might still be alive as well. I don't know how to feel about this, my parents left when I was still very young, and I cannot say I really remember them. Time will tell, I suppose.

It is good to be back in the city of Arx, it was a long trip and I am glad to be settling back into my home. I ran into Mirari shortly after returning, and I was equally thrilled to see her, and how well she's been taking care of the family in my absence!

I will be returning to the Isles soon, it sounds like, there will be a visit to Grihem's Point, followed by an expedition south that I am being asked to assist with. I've much to prepare for, and I've only just gotten settled into the city of Arx.
Please note that the scholars may take some time preparing your journal for others to read.
