I made an unlikely 'friend'. I still don't trust this friend as far as I can throw them. But, you know what they say, keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Right?

Elloise
Elloise, delighted by her greenhouse and workspace, has been seized with the bright idea to bring the glass paneled ceiling and roof into the rest of the Leary estate. She was envisioning rooms with their ceilings removed, roof removed, with only the glass to stand between us and the sky.
I am envisioning rain all over my books.
It sounds as though it would be cold in winter, and hot in summer, and I'm concerned about the potential for leaks as well. But perhaps combined with some of the clever retractable roofs I've seen -- maybe there might be potential there.
Potentially drowned libraries.

I got invited to go hunt a shark! Honestly, that sounds horrifying. But, I am intrigued! I have been sailing for some years. I have seen some sharks, but never have I actively wanted to jump into the waters and stab it in the eye! Honestly, I don't think I have the right skillset to stab a shark in the eye. But, if we do manage to kill this beast, I will be able to take some of it's hide to add to a certain something I plan on making. I am not going to say what it is here, but I am excited to be a part of it!

Word has reached me from my Marquessa that Savio has wrecked another of our boats. Is anyone surprised?

I managed to get ahold of some lovely metal to play with! Goldsteel. It's so bright and so shiny! I have made blades for a few other people before. But, never a small weapon. I may have to toy around and see if I can make myself a dagger from this. I do intend on having a dagger forged of every metal I can manage to get my hands on! Sure, it is silly, but it is fun.

…and there you have it, the first productive thing I've done in my life - a cheap wooden bench, crafted by yours truly's own hands. Thanks, thoughts and prayers to Claude, Master of Woodworking, for making something of me when all others have failed.

Imi
I recently had the good fortune to meet with Dame Imi and begin to learn about her. She was such lovely company and easy to talk to - honest, profound, and disinclined to use more words than necessary while remaining respectful. And my luck continues to favor me with the knight's acceptance of my offer of patronage. I look forward to the times ahead and helping her achieve her social goals!

Kiera
Elora has been doing so much for the house, I feel like some sort of public acknowledgement is necessary. Not to mention, she's been the best aunt and confident I could ask for since marrying into a new house and fealty.

I'm learning. All the time. Whether it's a lesson in something, wise words...there's always some new voice so to speak.

Now that Elora has officially joined Ravenseye, you just wait until what's next for our family! I'm so excited!

One thing for sure! There are definitely mud prints in the house. Not from me!

The stench side the slippery feel of...skin. It is something that I won't forget anytime soon. As it was the oddly enjoyed.

If there's one merit to waiting so long for the coming storm to break, it's that we've so damnably much time to prepare. The shipyards and smithies of the home island have never been so stocked and active, not in living memory.
The Compact drives me mad more days than not, but there's no denying the great boon of wealth our loyalty has brought; timber, iron, grain, and silver have never been more plentiful.
Mayhap the coming Kinstrife will wipe it all away, as the coming and going of tides scours the shore, or mayhap our prosperity will endure for generations to come, the Wind cares not.

Does anyone like to dance? I had a thought to organize a ball, but it would be mildly disappointing if more than half the guests didn't even care to pry themselves out of their chairs. Worse, what if no one turned up at all?
I suppose I could alway just guilt Marigold into dancing and salvage the evening.

I have returned to Arx after time spent in Avarion's Peak tending to matters, and I am /ever/ so glad to be back! I can't /wait/ to learn what I have missed while I was away.

Last night, Lady Snow left me a gift on my pillow while I slept. A half-dead bug, with a few last movements left in its legs. I screamed. The guards broke down the door. And my cat? She sat there, looking ever so pleased with herself.
I think she just wanted someone to open the door and let her out.
I am prone to wonder, is this what dog-owners deal with? Or do they just look at you, all happy like, wagging their tails?
