It's always a good day when you get to spend time with someone you love.
I know, me, writing of love. It's been years now since that love began, and it seems to have only grown stronger and deeper with time.

I feel like my wardrobe is missing something..
What though?
These last few weeks have been amazing. I have had many wonderful people offer to be my Patron. Many people I care deeply for and others I'm just getting to know.
I wish I had more time.
And I wish I knew what my wardrobe was missing...

I'm glad that warmer weather is here and that we're able to get out and about through the city. The dogs have been enjoying being able to get out and run around the gardens and check in on the troops training. I have been getting out more as well, I'm looking forward to seeing about not being so much of a wallflower this year.

Relationship Note on Tikva
Marriage pudding. Now there's an idea. Remind me to mention it to Tanith, I'm sure she can think up a nice marriage pudding. A new tradition for the nobles of Arvum, available from the Salacious Baker in the Commons Court, in the Lowers.
What do you reckon, Scholar? Think it'll sell? Well of course it's going to be good, if Tanith's doing it.

It was rejuvenating to be back in Setarco for the worst of the Arxian winter. But there's part of me that's glad to be back in Arx. Which I am. As of today!

I am truly glad to have attended the reflection on self offered by archlector giada. it was nice to have time set aside to think of such questions versus having them compete in my mind with daily tasks and studies as well as to hear others offer questions and beliefs similar to my own as well as new thoughts to challenge me

I attend the unveiling of the memorial statue of Niklas Kennex at the Bard's college. I did not know the man well but respected his talent. It was nice to learn more about him from the memories shared by others

It's been a while since I have made a journal entry so I will start with this.
Drinking an excess of incredibly strong Redreef Rum to the extent that I win a drinking contest will mean that you will need at LEAST a full two days to recover, especially if continuing to drink after winning and going on to post contest celebrations.
I can't remember too much but it was all an experience.

Pine needle tea is excellent for:
Vision
Chest congestion
Sore throat
Scurvy
And of course, breath
High Lord Alis knows this already, of course, but now everyone else can be informed as well.

The valiant few was a marvelous idea and a great success! So many stories of knights both past and present, it was hard to not feel yourself swell with pride. i'm so thankful Princess Terese hosted it! on a side note... that gauntlet bested me THIS time. i have run it 4, maybe 5 times. but this time it finally bested me. next time though.. next time. The bright spot of the whole night was certainly Princess Macda showing me how desperately i need to learn how to find with my hands better. I can do alright in a bar room, swinging chairs and such. But several times now, i've been shown that against a true pugilist i am useless.

Mistakes. We are bound to make them. When we're young, we assume a righteous path and sometimes we are right, other times our path wasn't well thought-out. Sometimes we make a mistake, and we're so deep into a path, we are forced in a direction that's no longer honorable. We learn to live with this dishonor, and this dishonor becomes our norm, and so future actions are flawed because we never learn from our mistakes. Other mistakes, we learn from, and we repeat because humans are flawed by we strive to be better.
Sometimes, despite being better, we still make the mistake we've made in the past. But we learn, we learn we're not yet perfect, won't ever be perfect, but we should strive to be better.
This has been on my thoughts, because once we commit to our mistakes as being righteous, the path back to redemption is that much more difficult. And yet, it's still possible. We always have a choice to do the right thing and the opportunity to make fewer mistakes. Until we're done with this lifetime. The pattern will repeat into the next.

Relationship Note on Aella
A noble marriage is only as solid as the strengthening of Houses. A union that doesn't help those sworn to their liege has little purpose.
The contract between Whitehawk and Ravenseye is a good one. Hawkhold and its people will be the better for it; Stormheart and its people will be the better for it. My only hope is that it stays that way, that I'm able to support them and bring good to Ravenseye.

A visit with friends went well this week. I don't get out enough. I am thinking about investing in a ship, which is more a new thought that a way of getting out, although it will certainly accomplish that as well! Might be fun to do a little trading, maybe test a pirate or two and see if they are all that tough! I think city life might be getting a little slow for me, even with Rosa churning up the streets.

Miklos and Savja will be two years old on the morrow. They are both growing and developing so quickly. Their steps may yet wobble, but they take each one with such confidence that I wish I could keep them from ever doubting themselves. Their words are not perfectly enunciated, but every one is said with an assertiveness that could make great leaders tremble. Having the responsibility of raising a new generation of nobility weighs heavily on me. They are the inheritors of duty. There will be expectations upon them for all of their days, expectations which I will need to help them understand and meet - or exceed. I hope that I can find balance in teaching them to love their duty and still be true to their own desires.
The two are not mutually exclusive.

I'm still finding the return to Arx somewhat new to me even though I have been in this city before. Just being home in the North for a little while let me resettle myself. I was watching this Gauntlet run they were having which kinsman Kritr participated in and the words just came to me "Endure and excel!" I quite think this should become our house motto but I don't know how to approach voicing such a thing. I am, after all, one of the quieter and more gentle of the Clearlakes.

I've returned to Arx.
Putting down four simple words take more energy than I think they should. Even this many years past the Tragedy my heart yearns to return me to Sanctum and cries out anytime I spend too long abroad. But duty has tamed a fiery heart before and my wounds will be no different.
