Relationship Note on Khanne
I too can confirm that Lady Khanne is one of the most honorable and noble woman of The Compact and does not have a nefarious fiber in her being. I count her as one of my closest friends and will defend her against any accusers.

Relationship Note on Khanne
There appears to be a rumor going around that I have issued an arrest warrant for Lady Khanne Halfshav.
To be clear to the two or three people who may actually believe that rumor: as Master of Questions, I would not hesitate to apprehend one of my closest friends and allies were I presented with irrefutable proof that they were an enemy of the Compact. If any such evidence about Lady Khanne exists, I have not seen it nor heard of it. Not only is she one of the finest women I know, but I would be hard-pressed to name someone less likely to be involved in something duplicitous or ethically abhorrent.
Citizens of the Compact are always welcome to write to me or High Inquisitor Alistair about their concerns.

We never decided what kind of flower you were, you had to run.
I'll toss out my opinion, you're a prickly poppy. Bright, beautiful, but delightfully dangerous.

Lady Sorrel has dubbed me Auntie Superior of the Oathlands. While I am not entirely certain what this job would entail, onomatopoeically it sounds right.
I wonder how one would make this official.

The thoughtfulness of your gift will never be forgotten. A beautiful piano, a unique one made just for us. It caused happy tears the first time I played it. You understood so well how music brings peace, joy, settles troubled thoughts, and comforts when nothing else will. And you gave us something to help bring that to our household and share that with us. Thank you, my friend.

It has been a few days since my wedding, and have been kept too busy to write in journals. (Stop smirking Scholar! There was moving in, rooms to rearrange, and a funeral to attend and just.... stop smirking!) We are glad the reception guests shared the day with us. They seemed to have fun with toasts, good food, company, jests, enjoying the ice sculptures and the warmth of the bonfires. Thank each of those friends and well-wishers.

The Duchess of Roses is a fair-minded woman who is willing to listen and support endeavors that bring prosperity both to House Fidante and to her vassals.
I look forward to her reign, and to the era of prosperity she will doubtlessly bring forth.

Amazing fight, last night at the Spar and Sip.
On that note, using Celebrant in single combat against another Sword's weapon was thrilling. The balance is perfect, and my technique with the longsword has certainly become noteworthy, after a point.
I may not be the absolute master of the blade, but I am well on my way of becoming a complete warrior.

Nothing like getting out on the waves to help me feel right with the world again. I really need to make time for sailing more. Maybe I should have grown up Thrax. Then again, I like to run my mouth so I'm sure I'd have three lifetimes of thralldom on my head by now if I had.
Journals have been interesting. Some fellow is trying far to hard to be disliked. Nierzen is on point, as he tends to be. I truly am in the greatest family in this city. If you're reading this and don't understand that, then you clearly aren't paying enough attention.
Got a commission to build a turtle house this week. That'd be a house for turtles, not a house made of turtles, or fashioned to look like a turtle. Although, I suppose if I wanted to get extra creative I *could* fashion the turtle house to
Nevermind. Anyway, my hand is starting to cramp up from all this writing and I can't remember much of my week to record for the history of the Compact. I smoked a lot. I drank some. I smoked more. Lots of Haze. A little Dust mixed in. Oh, had a really scary moment. Yep. Went on a booze cruise with my cousin. That about sums it up.

I have a lot to learn and figure out...
....nothing like learning in the free-for-all that I'm feeling my age. The alcohol did a piss poor job of hiding what skill I used to have.
Bunch of young pups out there with more skill than I have.
Going to need to get to training if I'm gonna be the 'Sword' that the Duke thinks I can be. Just hope that I don't end up letting him and Clover down.

Ended up sparring Princess Echo. She smashed me pretty damn hard - but I got a blow or two in there on her. Maybe I can do a little better with lighter armor and not walking around like a friggin' land based war ship. Not that Felix's armor ain't bad, it's good. Just needed something lighter so I ain't huffing and puffing like a well-worn plow horse after a long day on the farm.

House Laurent is known for its ridiculously amazing, fabulously spectacular honey. Boy, do we love the stuff!
I /was/ going to have a bakesale, but after eating half and giving the other half away, I have decided maybe it's not the best idea... No one wants to go to an empty bakesale!
So I have written a cookbook! It contains 15 of House Laurent's most TREASURED (and some say secret) recipes - sure to many any meal one to remember.
I ask 5 Writs (Economic or Military) - and all proceeds go to funding House Laurent's war efforts.
Please send all inquiries to me, Aeryn Laurent, and I will see to it that you receive your book as quickly as possible!
It's a 3-Part set, and illustrated! ((OOC: I made it very pretty, and yes there are 15 REAL recipes in there)).
In other news - I'm also working on a 10-Part set on 'The Language of Flowers'. It will be slightly more expensive, but also as part of a campaign to help the House! More details forthcoming.
