Cristoph and Nicia,
Thank you for the very entertaining Masquerade! I enjoyed it greatly, especially the part where the fierce tigress was tossed into the water. It was definitely worth having all those feathers woven into my hair for my costume! Also I got to dress up as an owl just to be a brat to my brother! So you know that was an added bonus!

Unless, of course, the beating heart and sweaty palms are caused by terror. Then it may be wise to let go, and run to the nearest knight, Templar, Knight of Solace, or Iron Guard.

People always want to know why I decided to be an armorer like my dad and not a baker like my mother or a healer like my oldest sister or even a seamstress like my younger sister. My answer is always the same; Quite simply, I did not choose my passion. It chose me. I decided to pursue it and not ignore it.
My advice to anyone is when you find that one thing that makes your heart race and your palms get sweaty, chase it down and don't let go.

Fatima
Princess Fatima Thrax remains wise counsel, and an engaging conversationalist. It is good to have talked to her again, and hopefully, we won't have to wait as long to fill each other's ears with news once more.

Sometimes, I wonder if perhaps life had been easier if I had just kept my head down, instead of making a few of the choices I have.
That's not a complaint, mind. Merely a rumination on the path not taken.
But I don't know that I want easy.

Now I want cake.
You are terribly cruel.

I admit that I was nervous meeting you. I was nervous before you walked in the door, I was nervous when I set my eyes on you, and now I am nervous no longer. I recognize that I will not like some answers, I recognize that I will not accept some customs, but I recognize beyond all the bonds of kinship. I cannot wait to proudly introduce you to everyone.

Katarina
At a time when we look the the horizons and can only think about how what looms beyond them looms so large and forboding over us... it was perhaps exactly what I needed to be able to have a party and celebrate a special day with family.
Happy birthday Princess Katarina.
Also thank you Princess Alarissa for setting up such a challenging maze!

You are just /adorable/. Really, I fully expect, nay, demand, wistful journals lamenting her absence and counting the days until her return.
Little hearts are optional but recommended.

I apologize for being scarce as of late, but I can’t promise that’ll change soon. I fear I may have caught a cold and it’s taking longer than usual for me to remedy. I think a few days in bed could help, but with so many things to do...

Lucita
Lady Lucita Igniseri and I have many things in common, and I have grown quite fond of her in the short time since we've met. I am glad that there are people such as her within Arx, and I hope she remains in the city for a long time to come. I would be sad to see her depart!

To the person(s) who informed my very lovely and darling twin sister that they wished to take me for a moonlit boat ride and has yet to come forward: Im not angry, just disappointed in your lack of courage to ask me in person. I adore boat rides!

While not a large crowd at the picnic, it was a congenial one. The children's choir led by Missere Magpie was delightful, both in reminding us of the simple joys of childhood, mischievously playing in the reflecting pool, swinging, hiding and exploring areas new to them, and in the songs they sang.
Prince Aiden was amazing when he was kind enough to share his skillful playing of the clavichord with us.
People seemed to enjoy the 'Last One Dancing' game. Lady Lethe was nimble, matching step for step with Prince Aiden and Lord Estaban until near the end, Lord Estaban the final winner. Lord Corban and Lady Monique, Lord Sebastian all caught onto the steps quite well while Lord Ian and Marquessa Quenia enjoyed watching. I was really glad to see each of them.

Lady Clover will be absent for probably a couple of weeks to visit home, and I think I am about to realize how much I've come to rely on her here in Arx since I arrived.

Today I spent some time between the many meetings that keep my husband busy exchanging small messages and reviewing the personnel that will be the future of Valardin's navy. It is a daunting thing to shape a military force in the face of battles to come. I am fond of these traditionally land bound warriors willing to brave the seas in combat with me. Too soon we will be rallying to battle forces that we have rightful cause to fear I'm sure. I continue to pray that we survive the battles ahead.
May your hopes find safe harbors.

Being named Sword of Lenosia was an unexpected honor. I have seen and been around the Mirror Blade my whole life but never did I imagine I would wield it for House Velenosa. There is a long list of men and women that I must live up to and I intend to.

Caras
I am sorry to see Brother Caras removed - not because I think what he did was right, or that I think the Most Holy was wrong, but because I know Brother Caras to be a good man. There are few in the archlectors these days that have his background, with so many of the more recent archlectors coming from other areas of the Faith than the Oathlands. In that he gives an important voice to those who worry at times about the pace of progress, and the costs it brings. A voice that needs release from time to time.
