I realize my last entry might have sounded snarky because I always sound snarky but I really do think splinters and small children are terrifying. I've protected myself fairly well against one of the two, at least.

Relationship Note on Alarie
I am now in position of virgin wool, declared to be as 'soft as a newborn's ass', and guaranteed to keep my ample buttocks warm, pampered, and well-cared for.
I would argue that Crafters make the most amazing compatriots.

In the past few years, I've suffered my fair share of injuries. The less severe ones have always been far more aggravating than the ones that have put me on strict bedrest thanks to adrenaline, shock and so on. I always thought the worst were papercuts, but today I've learned splinters, depending on where you get them, can be far more diabolical.
I have no regrets.

Relationship Note on Cassandra
Thank you for receiving me so quickly upon my arrival. Your kind words will be cherished always as something I needed most in my time of suffering. I have been emboldened by the strength of your character and the steadfast way in which you have provided guidance to a wayward soul like mine. In context to the highlight of our conversation, bourgogne red. It would suit you quite well and I happen to have it with me. Next time we'll have some tea and see what we can't do.

Relationship Note on Cirroch
I've always loved our adventures and I look forward to making new memories. If every there was another person I would seek trouble with beside my sister, it would no doubt be you Marquis. Thanks for the drinks and the chance to catch up and let's do it again soon. Besides, I must meet the special people in your life. It's been years since I've had reason to come to the city and I remember how fast you made friends.

There will be an official proclamation made soon, but I should make it a matter of record now that I have relinquished control of the Crown Court of Arx back to Chief Magistrate Octavia. I was happy to keep the Court running smoothly in the interim while the Honorable Lady Octavia dealt with a situation in her home march. We are happy to have her back.

I have been spending some time, as of late, compiling information that I already have. Reviewing it, re-examining it, seeing where pieces might fit together that I missed before. This exercise has advanced my understanding of the problems we as a Compact face, and I recommend everyone who works at these problems find some time in the near future to review what they already know and see if anything new can be learned from it in light of information later attained.
I've also stumbled upon a thing or two that I'd forgotten needs looking at, so there is also that.
I do encourage our allies to plan on coming to the meeting I are hosting in the near future. If you wish to work with House Pravus and are willing to do so under my direction (I do not have time for conditional help, disruption, or games in this context), you would be more than welcome.

I thought that the news that I was given was useless -- that it didn't do a thing to advance my cause or answer any of my lingering questions. That was simply my impatience at the fore, dictating my reactions. When it ought to be considered as a step in the proper direction. After a day or so of simmering with this information in my head, yes, I realize that I was wrong. The information was very useful.

I grow ever more impatient. Our plans are made, our preparations complete. But the more time we spend here, the more I am treated to the opportunity to see my friends and my family grow, and that is not such a bad thing either. Still I find the truism to be most accurate, as that inestimable bard once said, the waiting is the hardest part.

One can live their life facing off against one challenge after another, a new threat prepared to snuff you out like a candle each week, or simply take a spill off of Sovereign Bridge due to a particularly nasty gust of wind.
One can also nearly have their nose broken because they underestimated the flailing head of a child in tantrum being thrown back and into their face. The more time that passes, the more I've come to understand that you truly must handle them like small, belligerent drunkards.
Constant vigilance.

Relationship Note on Deacon
I think I might call you a friend, my most dearest of hearts. Even though you say I go overboard and I feel that you just cannot have the time in your heart to tell me what is in yours. Truly. My heart shatters that you do not tell me every secret. I thought about being mad at you, companion of my dreams, but then I realized you had this Serr--Cersa--De.. fire whiskey. Yes fire whiskey.
You are forgiven.
Send more fire alcohol shit.

Hmmm, a mention of a possible gift of an amusing painting was made at our family dinner. The witty comments concerning hanging it above the clavichord and the type of painting to hang were most likely a social nicety, but still they were spoken and we smiled in enjoyment of the humor. Despite the fact that acoustics in the Great Hall far corner are superior than acoustics along the side wall, we're having the clavichord moved so centered on the side wall, just in case. That way if a painting gift arrives, it can be prominently displayed above the clavichord, and if it does not arrive, the position of the instrument will still bring the gift of warm memories of family, friendships, and smiles.

Relationship Note on Valencia
Dearest Princess ---
I'm not sure I've ever used her title either come to think of it. I do love that we can be busy in our respective lives and still when we are together it is as if we have not been away. Perhaps I might go as far as to call us friends. Perhaps. Maybe. She is a delight and easy to make blush. I personally take it as a challenge to say those things she thinks. She knows she still wants to hit that. Hit it hard. But catch and release, Val darling... catch and release.

He's a King. He's THE King. He also doesn't yell when I call him Alaric. Although, maaaaaaaybeee I should learn on this whole muckity muck about nobility and their titles. On the other hand, artists are supposed to be off the mainstream.
Did I mention not to hug Lark? I feel like that should be mentioned every journal for the others. Really, she doesn't like that shit if she doesn't know you. So far, I haven't been beheaded.

Relationship Note on Hana
I'm more than passing fond of my 'niece', and it's not often we drag ourselves out and away from our workplaces to carouse in public. What started as a lovely dinner catching up at the Traders Tavern became a torrid affair of giggles and horrible, dirty jokes when the lovely Acacia joined us. While we only drank the good stuff, my head hurt the next day and my face as well from all the laughter.
I'm fairly certain I made a terrible metaphor about sacrifices and virgin wool underpants spun by grandmothers or something, and I wouldn't be surprised if Bess never let me drink there ever again. Ever.

Relationship Note on Laric
Over the last few days, I have managed to have breakfast, lunch, and dinner with the Master of Questions. Like all nobles, I remember a time when the Inquisition was not always used to the noblest ends. After speaking to Prince Laric, I have now come to understand that the Inquisition is now fully focused on the threats we face.
