I go soon to help my sister. Traveling has always been my favorite and I'm excited to see her homelands. I just wish it was under better circumstances.

Relationship Note on Khanne

Good actions give strength to ourselves and inspire good actions in others. You can see an example of this via the duchess of Whitehold.

You know, something always happens to me when I go to an Assembly. In fact, it was one assembly that changed my life really. I became a Liberator and never regretted the decision. Tonight, I got some food for thought.

It's easy to make decisions from the comfort of our disassociation, but it's something else to live the repercussions and dance with the outcomes. You might trip, you might fall, but there is no replacement for authenticity. It's more rare than the finest jewels, and more powerful than any weapon.

Relationship Note on Mailys

I regret nothing. Except talking to Giorgio, which I usually regret.

That was a productive trip home. My thanks to Princess Terese, Uncle Baron Norwood, Dame Vesper and Lord Kritr for lending their time and discernment to help sort out who had the most knightly qualities among the candidates. It sounded as though they tested them quite thoroughly, by running them through an improvised gauntlet no less. I'll have to remember that for next year.

Habitual nose picking aside, I thought Landry had more potential than he apparently showed the others. I believe Wade, Marlene and Spyre likewise failed to display all they were capable of. Galtrynne displayed a bit too much, but I hope some self reflection will soften the sharp edges. Wilbert, definitely, would be better served at Princess Terese's new Academy where I think he would shine. Kermit would likely take instruction better from Uncle Norwood than myself, since it must be difficult for him to take orders from someone young enough to be his granddaughter. Chunk and Jilly were most highly praised, and I largely agree with the assessments the others gave. He's sturdy and reliable, and I see in Jilly a Knight of Solace potentially in the making. Perhaps Dame Vesper saw the same.

One less worry now, anyway and a task crossed off the list. I really ought to delegate and ask for help more often.

I'm not much of a weapons person, but black daggers do sound appealing.

I'm not saying you /can't/ throw a cat, but should you?

I would not. They would /remember/ this treatment.

The /best/ improvised thrown weapons, in my opinion, are: pinecones, vases, dinner forks, and a lute.

In no particular order of precedence.

I walked through the new Chivalric Arts academy that has been opened in Arx. It's a little amusing to have someone insist on announcing you with full titles and intent. I think some were disappointed that 'Tour' was what came after my name.

Do you find yourself acquainted with a bard or a mummer?

Only a precious few may ever know where the performer ends and the man begins.

And life tends to make mummers of us all.

I suppose it's good to be reminded now and again that I'm an idiot. I wish I didn't keep needing reminders.

Huh.

Is this what getting old feels like? I'll ask Jaenelle later.

I am not the (former) Grayson getting challenged.

I am not sure how I feel about this.

Relationship Note on Ida

Yes, yes. All of these. I do need armor at some point. I do like black. It's sort of a signature color. Really, it's I don't care about fashion (please don't tell Keely) and black just goes with everything.

Also, look! I'm someone's muse!

Today's tea was coffee. For something different. Equally tasty, but definitely not the same thing. Coffee with chocolate and cream is sweetly delicious.

Caw. Caw. Caw No.

Relentless letters from a Savvy Crow,
Steals Mio from ledgers in overflow.
Damnable insults, generous laughter.
Enough already! My study's a disaster!
Brothers, my cleaning staff fills with woe.

To be clever in battle can be a great gamble.

When it pays off, correct anticipation can cut off a foe's best surprise, deny him escape, and utterly unmake his strategies.

When it doesn't...

Well, when it doesn't you end up floating off the backside of an island, looking for ships that aren't there while your fellows charge in for all the glory, and wondering to yourself whether you're overestimating your foes, or just being daft and calling yourself clever.

I'm a scholar, and yet it only struck me today that you should never judge a book by its cover. It's surprising what you can learn when you lift someone's cover and discover a person most surprising within.

Even on the back lines, one can find themselves in mortal danger. Good to keep in mind.

Maybe if I wasn't so damn tall that stope would've just soared over my head. But no -- I'm built to be the big, easily spotted target.
