Such as "I will paint that portrait, and on time, but only if the next three nights are clear and I see no gray cats during that period--"
No, need more practice at good outs.

Busy days, though not in the style I am accustomed to. I scarcely was able to get out at all. I should look into hiring a secretary or steward to help with this.

All this talk of husband-abuse alarms me, though I am ever so glad wife-abuse is clearly not a thing.
But really, someone should start a campaign: Save the husbands!
It's like save the kittens, or the whales, but with married men.

Corban
Lord Corban is like the face of House Telmar's helpful navy, ever ready to help. This time, we actually get to work in concert for once, since we don't so much need warships.

I came home to find my betrothed face down in a pile of missives on his desk, ink spilled into his hair. As I helped wash the ink out I pondered how he came to Arx not covered in ink... He works non-stop, it seems, when I around to interrupt his daily routines..

I enjoyed the Igniseri family dinner, and was honored to have been invited by Lady Lucita. It has made me miss Thraxian family dinners, and my grandfather as it was during one that I last saw him. It might be time for another Thraxian gathering, they happen far and few.

I have never been poisoned by you either. Have I? Talen...have you poisoned me? Damn it, Talen!

BAD. CAT. This kitten is displeased!

It is with some annoyance and disappointment in myself that I realise that in working on the Gold Order of the Dragon I've neglected some of my smithwork. People have been understanding, thankfully, but that is no excuse. I have to do better. And really, I need someone more well-acquainted with bureaucracy and paperwork. I think I can find the room within the order budget to hire a steward to assist me.

Viviana
I met Lady Viviana Pravus through Lady Joslyn Stonewood, and we decided that, given our love for Lady Joslyn, it was in our best interests to become friends. A few days back, I finally made good on that by inviting her to visit and enjoy a good home-cooked meal of the Oathlands variety.
We get along well. A natural flow exists between us and I found myself relaxing in her presence. We also seem to have at least somewhat a shared sense of humour.
Now someone explain to me how it is that I make friends with all these wicked Lycene women?

The trick is to always word things -just so- so that you leave yourself some wiggle room. A good promise should have an easy out for both sides.

Have to stop making promises I can't keep. You do it to try to be better, never quite works, never quite works.

In many ways, what we encountered in the Gray Forest was not surprising. The Horned One's agents move there, tainting animals as well as men and women, though I think we still do not know the full extent of the strength he's gathered. All honors to my Count Thesarin, Dame Alexis, Master Merek, Lady Fiora, and Lady Isabetta for fighting by my side against those tainted creatures. Gloria gird us, for this shall not be the last time we face such things.

Shard
Shard is an amazing woman. i would have many more scars on my body if it weren't for her... if I were breathing at all. But beyond her strength and skill in battle, she is wise. Her words to Countess Reigna here in the journals are an excellent example of that.
Perhaps one day, i will get to have more conversation with her than we've managed thus far.

The drawing of a name for the Solace's newest galley ends tonight (OOC: Midnight PST). If you want a chance to name the ship and smash a bottle of whiskey on her hull during a launch event, send your name suggestion and 10 writs of any type per entry. Multiple names accepted! Multiple entries of the same name accepted! Just...please...don't send 'Dame Thena Grayhope Lounge'.
Acolyte Pyotr will be accepting entries all evening, and I will draw one at random in the morning.

It's hard to build when one has nothing to build upon.
I hope she can manage it.

The unfortunate news has reached me that Kima Saik is dead.
A sorrow more pointed than the thousands of others I have witnessed.
Her training has seen me through the war, and the Siege.
May the Thirteenth guard her passing.

The King I speak of in the last entry is King Alaric IV, in case folk forget this sort of thing in the future, one never knows.
Also, I saw the King riding on a horse the other day, but I imagine the King rides his horse often enough that there's no need to write that down for Scholarly purposes. In case there are no more horses in years to come, such as happens to other ancient beasts, they are beasts with four legs and hooves, and folk of our time ride around on them. They are mostly brown, but there is also white and black and gray ones. They are also used to pull carts and wagons and things of the sort. They eat grass and hay and carrots. I myself can ride a horse, though not too well, but enough that I won't fall off a saddle, which is a sort of chair or stool one puts on a horse's back.
I hope this satisfies future Scholars.
