I know she reads my journals. So even if she won't reply to my messages I know she'll see this.
You're smart enough to know I'm pissed but you should know me well enough to know I'd rather tell you why in person and let you explain your side of things.
So. There's that.

Relationship Note on Malena
As reported by Clarissa:
As Sent
'To His Grace, the Archduke Velenosa-
I have recently received an application for admission to the Physicians Guild for one Malena Black. Can you provide reference and is this acceptable while she is in your service?
Lady Guildmaster Eirene Malvici'
As dictated:
'Ask Nick if he knows who the hell she this Malena chick is, and if she's okay to join the Guild, provided he's not pissy about her having a second job while on his payroll.'

Relationship Note on Fergus
The Redrains have become close friends and allies and when Shirtless Boy marries my niece they'll be family. Couldn't ask for better. Fergus is quickly becoming one of my good friends - someone I shit with and drink with and enjoy just being a soldier around. Plus we can joke about dead ANYTHING and not think the other twisted and sick. Well, we -do- think the other is sick and twisted and that's what we like about it.

So much to catch up on.
Ben's taking a sabbatical. I can't blame him. A city doctor has -no idea- what horrors a war can bring to his doorstep. So for the time being I'm in charge of the Guild. I've been going through the shav refugees and seeing which of them were their own physicians or herbalists and seeing if they want to start a new life with us. If not, there's the plan to send them to Southport and our own lands of the Lycene to begin anew.
I attended the groundbreaking for the Shrine to the Lost Queen and told the -worst- jokes. I mean, dead baby and dying soldier jokes. I believe, if Aureth is right, Her sense of humor and mine are similar. I think we would be frienimies. Two best bitches who joke about everyone else when together and rip on one another when not. I won a flowerpot shaped like a skull; it's going alongside the -real- skulls in my room.
I went to the masque and fuck do I hate masquerade balls. After months of Bringers in disguise as humans, the last fucking thing I want is humans disguised as weird shit. I almost broke Saedrus' hand when he touched me. I would have loved to sit and bullshit with the guys longer and prove once again I can outdrink even a Redrain but I was too jumpy.

I must be the most fucking valuable person in Arx. 200,000 total.
I can't even begin to describe what the hell that was. I hadn't had enough to drink before hand and clearly too much afterwards.
But the money will be good to help the city rebuild. Can't argue that.
And I guess I clean up nice? Hell if I know...
I can understand why Prince Mason would be upset; if it was a permanent thing, if I had been doing it against my will or my time purchased by someone I had no desire or inclination to spend time with -- that would be different. But I can see how it smacks of uglier traditions and a devalue of human life.

I've not left many entries as of yet because I'm too FUCKING BUSY.
I spend my time between the Knights and Mercies of the Solace (Both headed by damn fine people with good heads on their shoulders and a perchance for cutting through bullshit - I approve and count them as friends) and down at the Saving Grace with the Physicians Guild (Also headed by a level headed person I consider a friend).
But soon - as those towers roll forward and the masses of the armies pour down on our walls... soon I will take my place where I belong. Alongside my kin, atop the walls, a healer in the midst of battle unafraid and ready to help ours and hurt the hell out of theirs. I am neither fish nor fowl, no Knight nor a Mercy. Like the flames of Lagoma; they can purify and sooth and heal or they can burn your fucking face off.
I am the flame. I will take care of our own. Those fuckers will BURN.
And if this is to be my last entry in Velchor's archives, then it is one I will happily leave behind.

I can write song lyrics out in my journal too.
How all the spirits rise (ARSE UP ARSE UP!) comes to mind but today I'm more melloncholly.
Of all the money that e'er I had
I've spent it in good company
And all the harm that e'er I've done
Alas it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of wit
To memory now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all
If I had money enough to spend
And leisure to sit awhile
There is a fair maid in the town
That sorely has my heart beguiled
Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips
I own she has my heart enthralled
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all
Of all the comrades that e'er I had
They are sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
They would wish me one more day to stay
But since it falls unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and I'll softly call
Good night and joy be with you all

Relationship Note on Armel
Grandmaster of the Knights of Solace - an equally grumpy vet of too much crap. A demon plucked his eye out and sent taunting notes; he doubled down and fought harder. She respects that. The two plan on having a good working and personal relationships in the fight to keep humanity alive and kicking.

My duty first and foremost is to my family. So when my secondary duties as a doctor and surgeon call me away to the city, and I am not there to fight alongside my nieces and nephews in defense of our house and their lives?
A bit agonizing.

One one hand, I feel bad about missing Archduke Niccolo and Princess Deva's wedding.
On the other, I already had one set of stitches in my side from a Bringer claw, I really didn't need a second.
I swear, when this siege is over I'm going to actually go to a fucking party in a DRESS and wear absolutely no weapons on me just for the novelty of it. Make it so.

If I can't stop people from doing damn fool stupid things, I may as well be told about them in advance so I can mitigate the damage.
And if you think this journal is about you, it probably is then.

I hate having to stitch myself up. Ouch.
In other news, if anyone ever wondered why my coats are embroidered, it's to hide the patching and repair jobs done to my armor.

Tell him I'd fucking LOVE to come by, before I go crazy from work and start talking to my surgical instruments. I have to go wash the blood off first...

I could use a bit of time away from my duties to care for my own health. Shall I call on you then?

I can write poetry too, as seems to be the trend these days in people's journals.
Blood comes out red.
Bruises turn blue.
I'm too busy working.
So all of you can fuck off and go do something more productive with your time.
I never said I was good at poetry.

Found a bunch of fuckheads in league with the Bringers. Welcoming them in to our city. Sacrificing bodies and souls to them.
Should have cut off more than a hand but there were people needing saving.
Did they deserve my care? Probably not but that's for the Inquisition to judge, not me.
In other news, anyone who thinks I am just a surgeon has another thing coming. I am a Malvici. We are born and bred for war. I know how to cut with more than just a scalpel.
Also: Costas is a worthy member of our house and I am honored to have him fight at our side.

Awarded pretty medals for my work at Pridehall and Giant's fall. It's nice to have my work recognized.
By all accounts my organization of the medical efforts for the Gyre campaign were successful.
I measure success, however, in the number of men and women I can save from Death. Keep them from getting another turn on the wheel of life and rebirth and shit. I don't wax philosophic on what happens in the next life; my concerns are purely for this one.
All the same, shiny medals are nice tokens of appreciation.
