It has only been a week since I was told what killed my cousin.

Something ancient, a legend. Something I can scarcely believe exists.

A dragon.

The untold terror it would have caused to the Blackshore...the death, the screams.

Yet, wyrm:

In our legends, it is always you who are slain.

It has been almost a week since I put the Liquors of Arx out. I'm surprised nobody has complained I missed this liquor or that, or that I didn't say enough about this house or that merchant. Perhaps it just isn't being used or read, which I suppose is fair. I'm a novice at these things, perhaps will always be. Maybe I should put my efforts elsewhere.

Relationship Note on Armand

Admittedly, I had no idea what to expect but after our first meeting, I am thoroughly impressed. I look forward to see how well you do next time.

Relationship Note on Nicia

I did not have the opportunity to get to know Nicia when she was a Pravus noblewoman but now that she is married to my cousin, Duke Cristoph Laurent, and is family by marriage, I am truly humbled and blessed to say we are becoming fast friends. She is intelligent and witty; sharp as a tack. It should also go without saying Duchess Laurent is drop dead gorgeous. I am sure Cristoph did not stand a chance against her. Besides, it's oh so good that he's chosen his bride from the Lyceum.

I am grateful.

I am still in a period of mourning over what was, and is over.

But I am surrounded by friends who have held me tight. Who have lifted me up. Who have supported me when my rooms became too empty to stand and my bed felt alien at night.

Thank you.

You keep that Scourge away from my rat. You'd better! He's a good, kind rat who deserves a kind world.

Relationship Note on Delilah

Lady Joslyn has been kind enough to introduce me to Lady Delilah Whitehawk, who appears a kind and gentle soul. A bit shy, perhaps, but... Well. Who wouldn't be in the company of two vivacious Lycene women. Quite frankly, I'm surprised I wasn't blushing more than I was.

I wouldn't expect her to be a member of the Inquisition, but then - I suppose that's sort of the point. And she's also part of the new Inquisition. The kinder, gentler Inquisition.

Hopefully, our first meeting spells the beginning of a long and wonderful friendship.

I am overwhelmed by the response received in a single day in regards to the coming archival process. I am certain I will be writing a follow-up entry in regards to it, but for now: Thank you.

Disappointments happen, and things can grow dark and terrible. But then, you wake up the next day and realize that it is not the end of the world. That there are still things. Life is there, people are there.

Seriously, disappointment is a bad look for me. I'm not letting the entire thing get me down! I will study more, and I will take the trials again. If I do not make it into the Society at that point, then I may need to rethink my entire life choice at that point. I could be come one of those ladies that has a bunch of adorable kittens. I like kittens, they are fuzzy and cuddly.

I attended an Evening of Bliss in Whisper House and...

Words grow poor. Truly. The Lady of the Evening was a delight. I met old friends and was introduced to new acquaintances. I've now met Prince Tyrval of the Nox'alfar. Who was also the very first Nox'alfar I met.

It was a night that set the head spinning, from stepping inside, to watching the dramatic tale spun - quite literally - by Bliss Whisper and her companion Alberto (I think that was the name - please forgive me, master Whisper, I did not get the time to speak to you)

Softest Whisper Saedrus, and whispers Nisaa and Jhond likewise ensured that every guest had everything they could dream of. It was radiant.

Stories of love and loss were shared, in keeping with the theme of the evening. We fed each other food. We... Relaxed. For one night, everything was perfect.

Thank you, Bliss. I needed that.

Relationship Note on Alaric

I do not quite know what I was expecting when I would finally have a one on one chat with the King. Perhaps I assumed someone a bit stuffier, perhaps regal, but King Alaric is honestly quite pleasant to be around.

Relationship Note on Luis

You do know, don't you, that our dear sister is going to find out one day you borrowed that little sail she was sending for repairs to use for a beach blanket, yes? At least it has no new damage, just some sand stuck to it, maybe a little wine stain here and there, some seaweed mushed into one corner, but perhaps it will never be noticed.

Dear Arx,

My dog is name Scourge, Fang of the Marsh. He shall become the most ferocious ratter in all the Lowers. Anyone know where I can get some mice for him to practice crunching up their bitty heads?

Also, my child will not be named Torian, nor will he or she be named by a contest!

It seems I'll have a busy week coming up, and this week has been emotionally tiring in unexpected ways. I enjoyed going out and watching the Deepwood falconry event, at least, and I'm contemplating trying my hand at falconry once more. I sort of gave up on it as a squire, when the bird I was given seemed to be a winged demon who hated me.

But maybe I was just as frightening to the bird.

Relationship Note on Mae

She always seems to find me whenever I am seeking solace in the temple, but then again it seems to be her knack to find you where-ever. She was a messenger at one point in time. The conversation is always lively and enjoyable, in spite of those damned bells. Good luck in your new appointment of office; I'm certain you'll be ringing in your new post with tact.

Relationship Note on Mae

I can attest to the fact that I did turn over my victory to Miss Mae. So indeed, it does make The Thing hers. I should probably be grateful she choose it, sparing the rest of us. Though it did not spare me this bear mask... (which I have put in a place of honor above my work desk).

So indeed, in theory The Thing is hers. Scourge or whathaveyou. Yet, I would remind Miss Mae, that she is married. And Marriage is more than about caring, it is also about sharing....

So. Much like a child. When it is good, it is -yours-, when it is bad, clearly it is -his-.

Always happy to help...

It worked well because you spent 700 writs to try to name the ship after a room named after me.

The outtings to the Gray Forest have been a constant source of surprises. The situation out there doesn't seem to be something that can be improved without concerted and continuing effort, but I see a lot of good people out there volunteering time and effort to do just that. It makes me happy to see so many volunteering to raise arms for a dangerous task, and mostly, out of a desire for helping others.
