I couldn't make it to First Bloom. (I'm very sad about this).
But! I have placed some white lilies in the forest in celebration.
It still counts a day later right?

While The Spirits in our ward is not quite the same as being around the hearth in Farhaven, it is close. Gathering there with family and friends leads to the same trading of stories, of laughing and drinking, of exciting news and of being together to simply enjoy being together - even as the shadows lurk just beyond our reach. To have these moments together are precious, especially with what may come, and I am ever so grateful for them.

Went to First Bloom today. It's about changes and new starts. So I made one.
I sucked it up and asked a question that I didn't particularly want the answer to but has been on my mind for days. And I owe someone a big apology.
That would have been embarrassing enough to do in private, but of course I was stupid and decided to ask in the middle of a crowd, and Gods it was mortifying when it seemed like everyone was looking on. This is what excessive pride and bad timing get you, and it's a fair enough lesson... even if I could have wished one of those holes was big enough to crawl into.
<There's a couple of ink splotches dripped onto the page>
His Majesty came and planted a tree near mine and others, and asked what I intended to name mine. Which, I confess, I had forgotten in the course of things. Harren, was the first thing I could think of, and I don't think he would be offended by it. His Majesty liked it enough to suggest to Lady Darkwood she should name hers Harren.
Suffice to say there's now an oak, an elm, and a basswood all named after him. Planted by his Majesty, Lady Emily Darkwood, and myself respectively. May they live long and grow strong.

The first Kennex I can tolerate. This man has shown that he can get his hands on information of use to others. Communicating it can sometimes be an issue but that's as much the receiver's fault as anyone's, sometimes.

Relationship Note on Reigna
I am overjoyed at Countess Reigna's appointment as master of the Physicians Guild. She has been a force for healers inside of Arx, and will serve with distinction in the role.
Between Countess Reigna's appointment as guildmaster and her husband's appointment as commander in the Ministry of Defense, the Keatons are quite the power couple in the Capital.

I've joined with Cassima Thrax and Sameera Coldain for an upcoming benefit in support of the war effort. They're going to sponsor an auction during the event for relief, while my portion will be a little different.
I'm going to create vouchers in exchange for lessons, which will be available via lottery.
Do you want to get a riding lesson from His Majesty's very own Master of Horses? Bid on a voucher for a lesson with Master Tristan.
Do you want a tutorial on strategy and war tactics, to increase your athletic ability, or experience a sword lesson with a former Lord Commander of the King's Own? Bid on a voucher for a lesson with Marquis Rymarr Deepwood.
Do you want a tutorial on the art and craft of diplomacy? Bid on a voucher for a lesson with me.
And so on, and so forth.
I'm hoping to solicit willingness to offer skills from a wide variety of skills, ranging from military to social to artistic to academic.
Knowledge should always be valued.

I wish to take a moment to give thanks to the Lady Eirene Malvici. She is healer of extraordinary talent and has served the Physicians Guild with honor and distinction. She taught me important lessons, helped make me a better doctor than I was. I am honored beyond the ability to say, that she chose me as her successor. She is a strong, capable and fierce woman and I have the utmost respect for her.
I am looking forward to the challenges ahead and I can only hope to honor her legacy and continue along the path she forged towards success.
For the health of all of Arx, in the name of the Lady of Change, by her healing light are we saved.

I consider myself blessed to count Lady Eirene Malvici as both friend and colleague. Although she leaves the Physicians Guild in the capable hands of Countess Reigna Keaton -- an appointment that is well-deserved -- I am the utmost certain that her excellence shall continue in her service as Crown Minister of Health.

There are days when I wish that my next life, whatever it may be, will entail nothing more serious than carousing and general hijinks. Perhaps the Queen will see fit to give my soul to a life that's as light as a feather, frivolous and friendly and lacking great strife.
It sounds very restful.
I'm really not sure how many lifetimes one must spend trying to steer events towards a satisfactory resolution through sheer force of will before one is granted a vacation.

You are indeed a joy to be around. Never a dull moment...and you shared your whiskey with me.

I must thank you, Father Orazio, for your missive on the matter that caught my attention in the onslaught of white journals. I am quite relieved to hear that I had obviously misunderstood your statement; what was a comment on doctrine and standards of behavior, but which appeared to be related to what I have obviously misinterpreted as an over-arching discussion on unity between the faithful and prodigal houses which practices shamanism.
You have my most sincere and public apologies of course.

Relationship Note on Margerie
The Lady Margerie Keaton is beyond grace and kindness, both in person as well as with word. Truly, her exceptional descriptions while we sipped hot chocolate in my shop were the driving force behind the weapons that were later forged. With so many truly talented smiths in the city, I am always grateful for patronage of my shop. Moreso, the Keatons as a whole have been such frequent and generous visitors that I was thrilled to be able to do more business with them. My thanks to Lady Margerie as well! Plus, she came with gifts. What's not to love about this noblewoman?

As Dictated: Well damn, guess I better make it officially official and all. It's hers and thank Lagoma for it. I never wanted the damn thing, thanks Ben Carver... Seriously, though. She's a goddess-send for accepting. Just... make it sound good and official-like.
As Announced: It is with much gratitude that I announce Countess Reigna Keaton has assumed the mantle of Guildmaser of the Physicians Guild. This will allow me to focus on more military matters and my role in service to the Crown. I have full faith in her leadership and ability to liason with the Mercies as we have so often done in the past. May Lagoma smile on her and bless her endeavors.

I just wanted to take a moment to thank Dame Ida Ferron. Her work on a project I requested was exemplary, but beyond the craftsmanship, she was a pleasure to work and negotiate with. Her patience with a less martially inclined Lady in addressing my needs was much appreciated. I recommend her work most heartily. Look for the rocking chairs, my friends, you will not be disappointed!
