I can officially announce....I'm an aunt again. Congratulations to my brother Martino and sister in law Kaia. I do believe I heard my brother's clothes were safe from unnecessary stains. I also hear he's accepting applications for nannies. I will happily screen them in advance. Would hate for him to have extra duties tacked on at the moment...

Today I was told how effortless I looked balancing being a lady, a physician, and a soldier. While I accept this compliment with the utmost respect, it caused me to pause. Because to me, I don't feel any of it so effortlessly. I look at the me I was when I first stepped off the ship into Arx. And the me now. I'm still awkward. Don't get me wrong. I can assure you my foot is inserted in my mouth more often than not. This can be attested to. But what this has shown me is how much I've grown as well. As a person. We all change based on the things we've seen, what we've done, what we've gone through. Our life experiences make us who we are. They shape us. And I suppose if on the outside I'm appearing as that, at least a little, then gods...I've grown more than I thought I did. So I appreciate the person who brought that up, more than they even know.

I learned a thing or two today. How to defend myself against a flail. You know, that weapon with spiky balls? Now then you ask, "But Thea, did you really learn?" The answer? No. Because I'm going to probably try again then try and learn to fight with one myself. Because one should probably learn how to fight with as many weapons as they can, right? Even if they're bad it. What could possible go wrong...

Relationship Note on Costas

I didn't know you, not really. I saw you here and there when I was small. Always watchful of my cousin. But weirdly, -I- wasn't afraid because well, you were just doing what you were good at. We wont go into that. That's not important. You were good at keeping people safe, like my cousin. So that's important. And I'm just sorry I didn't get to see you upon my arrival to the city. I'm very certain I'd have received a lot of gruff lessons and eyeballs.

Attended the opening of Stormbird's Roost, to support Rukhnis. My fellow physician and friend. Yes scholar, I tried grasshoppers and lizards. All new foods were downed with a glass of some very good whiskey. And was surrounded by friends. And then Rocco delivered me a letter...And then another regarding more just-things you don't want to know. And just like that scholar, my mind was oblivious. And now here I am, on my couch. Missing a shoe and Finn licking my face. I don't have evenings like this very often. If ever. But it's a new day and I'm up. And it's time to go figure out--what the hells is going on. In more than one area it seems.

I borrowed aunt Eirene's twins today. I needed them for a project really, but we went on an adventure. I took them on a small sailing adventure, one tried to ride Finn. Like he was a horse. I mean, Finn took it like a champ and I may have suggested to them that they should ask their mother for a Finn of their own. OOPS! We did quite a bit but Gods, they were exhausting. But you know what scholar? By the end of the day, they were exhausted and filthy and SAFELY delivered home. Hear that? SAFELY! I took the scalpel away just in time....

Relationship Note on Rowenova

I had the pleasure of sparring with scout Rowenova this evening. I'm not sure how we've never done that before, but---my body will be sore for days. And I would certainly do this with her again. And again. And again. Each time, learning something new. It was fun, and I can't wait to do it again.

I wonder if Messere Tarik sleeps with one eye open when he's made her angry...questions...

Well I did it. I held a spider, scholar. But not just any spider. Oh no. It was a creature of WAR! You think I'm joking, but I'm not. It camouflages in it's environment. Messere Saro said in flowers and such, but let me tell you, I was waiting for it to attack. SNEAKY! I have a suspicious feeling of a spider army being formed in the boxes of Messere Saro. Or on her head. I should make one as well..Led by Dame Leola. I'll just be nearby, whispering sweet spidery nothings and suggesting spider tactics. Not that they'll be needed..

Ps. Leola...You now know my plan. Since I know we never discussed such.

Relationship Note on Tescelina

I've been trying to ponder words while I was away. You were the poet you know. And all I can think of to say is one of my favorites..See you on the brighter side of gray...

Thank you Lady Mabelle for allowing me to aide in your project. I'm so happy to hear of its success, especially one as important as this. Congratulations to you and House Laurent.

I forgot how much I missed the Sip n Spars until I attended last night. I'm glad Ladies Zoey and Videl and I made decided to make a date of it last week. Lady Videl's scarf brought luck, no one can tell me otherwise! I'll have to--permanently borrow it!

Dame Felicia Harrow. You are certainly a force to reckon with. I would most definitely cross blades or drinks with you anytime!

Already preparing for my next journey, scholar. I swear to you my feet are rarely in the city. But I do know I enjoy keeping my mind occupied. I enjoy the busy. The distraction. What's that scholar? I work too much? No..I assure you I find time for the fun too. I promise.

Who would have thought by burning 1 dead cultist body, you'd have a few out for your head. And a giant--snake armed thing? Also, when you have fungus in your hair, that does that not automatically make you a FunGi. Hopefully my brother's island is safe for a bit at least, after all that mess...

Just a typical family trip I guess. And Drake? Why does fire always have a play whenever you're around?!

Earlier in the week I took part in serving food at the Crafters Hall. What I didn't expect was how much I enjoyed it. It's been quite the sight to see those offering their time the past few weeks..It's been humbling.

Side note. Balls do not bounce off the face as easily as you may think.

A congratulations to Countess Carita and the new Count-consort Evander Darkwater! I hear that the wedding was beautiful! I'm so sorry I couldn't attend, duties kept me away. But just know, I'm very happy for you both. I owe you both a gift! I assure you, it will be just as amazing as others that I have been known to give! I can't wait to hear about the things you do!

What an interesting adventure that was. I sailed through a storm. That was quiet a feat on it's own. I will not go into too many details here of the trip, not at all. But I will tell you I came home with a souvenir. The best souvenir. I can't wait to display it..Don't worry. The screams will be enough to know it was found. And then it will be displayed in Malvici hall..

I have much to be grateful the last couple days. 1. My aunt Eirene being married. To Lord Mihaly Riven. It's a great match. I'm leaving it at that. No poetry to follow. 2. Eirene leaving means Martino is the OLDEST in the House. I hope he knows this. OLDEST! I will forever remind him of this. I may write it somewhere. Have it commissioned into a painting...I don't know. But in all honesty and seriousness, I couldn't think of anyone better suited for my aunt, and I look forward to our families uniting.

Sitting at the Stacks one evening, books on top of books-I'm certain you couldn't see I was there. I was surprised Lord Samael Bisland saw me. But just like that, he was quick to help. He was informative and helpful, smart. I feel like I'm living there these days. Or training. Or..There's always the or...

What a beautiful party for Vitalis and Adalyn Clement. I wish I could have stayed longer, but work doesn't ever seem to end.
