Yeah. I know you're reading this.

Fuck off.

Oy, so here's a story about a valley, see? A valley riddled with snakes and vipers, and the rocky edge above it. The cubs of this tribe were brave, they'd slither on their bellies on the stone ridge and take this little wrist-slings, like childs' toys, armed with stones, and fling pebbles with great force at the serpents below. If they hit the -right- snake, the whole mess would start to fight and snap, and the kids would be entertained for hours. But no one asked why this particular little crack in the quarry, barely more than an ant's ravine, had so many of the creatures at the bottom. I still don't know why. But that's where that tattoo came from, the stone and serpent on my hip. But that's the only one you're gettin' out of me today, scholar, I'ven't the booze in me to talk about the others.

Relationship Note on Carita

That's like riding, but with one of those big floaty things instead of a horse, right?

Relationship Note on Sorrel

If House Telmar is the clenched fist of Valardin, then House Wyrmguard is the fingers on that first, helping guide it to its target. In these troubled times, I am glad to call Lady Sorrel Wyrmguard, Wyrmguard's newly appointed Voice, a friend. Although warm and kind, she has a keen mind and will lead her people with the strength they require.

And she writes an excellent lullaby.

It seems now the supply of noblemen is now so dire they are now openly being poached from the commons.

Therefore, I would also like to offer myself for adoption. For the good of the realm. It would be an immense sacrifice, but I do believe I can cope.

Also, I come with an extremely adorable dog.

A lot has been happening in the past few months, but I'd like to write about some good things, like the many Crafters that keep the economy up. Really it is nice to see so many different fashions from all around the world, something that I didn't really think much about before.

I met a woman in the Ambassador's Salon and it was... well, I am remembering through the haze of kacktus -- do you think that is how it is spelled, Scholar? Cacktus? That looks closer perhaps, anyway -- cacktus flower wine, but I remember that she wore robes and jewelry that were unlike anything I have ever seen. Her hair, I swear her hair had stars, and her eyes? She spoke of strange and wondrous things that in retrospect strain my credulity but in the moment seemed so possible. She was present and real and she took up space. Princess Isolde's fox sat in her lap and Oaken licked her hand. She touched my chin and whispered to me. So she was real. But she was more than that. There was an energy around her, something that, like the wine, warmed me through the center and filled me with the same joy I feel when I pray.

It was good meeting her. But I have so many questions.

Who is Prism?

Relationship Note on Fortunato

Thank you for pointing out the oddity within the House's motto. I am terribly tempted to invite you to consider a better one. In fact -- I do invite you to.

An open invitation to any poet, artist, or writer inclined. This could provide an interesting amusement.

Relationship Note on Caelis

I am available for mid-wife meetings! I have another batch of teas for you to try and Marie and I have been working out a recipe for ginger biscuits to ease that all-day belly sickness. When I was carrying Aeryn I sometimes went days without being able to keep more than porridge down. The biscuits are crisp and light, and the ginger helps immensely. I will make sure a basket is delivered soon!

(Thank you, Princess Marian for the compliments! You are a great patient.)

Ideals, drive, ambition, work. It's as if I am out to prove a point. That wouldn't be right. Too bold, as the Duchess Tyde would tell me.

-- Or, simply to honor the longtime loyalty of an ally. You choose.

I know house mottos are house mottos (the Grayhope motto is not a great ice breaker), but mercy and daring are both virtues. Both of them!

Otherwise, interested to see more elevation in the Inquisition, and interested in the phrasing of Lady Carita's proclamation. If it is truly ideals that make one a peer, this continues to raise interesting questions about birth rank.

Relationship Note on Sparte

House Thrax is lucky to have him. I hope High Lord Victus knows that or I might be tempted to pop over to the Thrax ward and try to tempt Officer Sparte Fatchforth to walk on the bear side of the tracks.

If you're looking for labor support for when the babe is born, I would look no further than Lady Reigna Keaton. She's got knowledge in herbs and medical arts. I'm sure if you asked, she would happily offer her help.

Relationship Note on Galen

So I met Leona’s older brother….she had an older brother and didn’t tell me? Or maybe I didn’t ask if she had other family, I can’t remember. Badass carries a huge axe over a shoulder and seems to talk the talk that he likes battles. Axes, likes to fight, where have I heard that before? Oh yeah, me.

Looking forward to the upcoming battles to see how this prince can dance and if he can keep up.
