Relationship Note on Alis

You should have a perch (pretty much a saddle) made for him to rest upon and gaze out over all that he surveys and disdains. All the better to judge us from.

Plus, it is safer for his wings that way too. (We all know how insufferable he would be if we were to break any of his perfect feathers.) And he can come and go as he may, all the better to Vex us.

You fill me with a sense of glee, dear Princess Alis. Sometimes, when I find myself blue, I think of something you said and I find myself smiling.

I will see if one of the Keaton leatherworkers might come up with something clever.

I have had the most spectacular last few days! The Spring Soiree was breathtaking, the Greenmarchers have a simply incredible Lodge and grounds and Lady Monique and Lord Corban turned it into a delight. I was so sad that I could not participate in the dancing or the games, but just being there lifted my spirits immensely. And the prizes! I am still struck with the fact that Kael won a dragonweep ring, and more so that the man offered it to me. I am willing to claim that I very well may have the grandest, most generous husband ever. (This is not a challenge, but in my eyes Kael is... everything, to me.)

I have been an avid admirer of the parties thrown by Princess Consort Alarissa and Lady Monique, and channeling them, I think I managed to throw a successful fete of my own! Kael's birthday was a large affair, certainly the largest party I've thrown thus far. And the goats appear to be quite popular! I myself have a little terror named Marigold. There are days when I consider a meal of mutton, especially when the little thing has gotten into my sewing. But her face is too charming and she does make me laugh everyday. Plus, she's nearly old enough to start milking and goat cheese is my favorite.

I have to admit though. I'm a little worried about my dear High Lord. Timmons is an uncanny thing and I can't say I liked the way he kept looking at Prince Edain. I am grateful that Princess Caelis has Karri to keep watch over the pair of them.

That is silly, I suppose. What real harm could one tiny goat do?

A thought has just occurred to me, and I feel I must solicit opinions.

Timmons the Malicious Pygmy Goat, and Vex the Vexatious Pygmy Owl. I fear that if the two are ever in the same room, the manor may in fact implode from the sheer intensity of dual glares. But... BUT, it may just be worth it. I wonder if there is a leatherworker skilled enough to make a special satchel of sorts that Vex could sit in, and be toted around by Timmons.

Together, they could glare at everyone in Arx. It would be a thing of terror and beauty. But mostly terror.

We did indeed have a marvelous time at the Spring Soiree, and I would not have been there with anyone else. Though I'll admit my tolerance for parties is much lower than I estimated before, this was an excellent choice for my limited willingness to go.

I confess that I am somewhat disappointed to have missed an opportunity to add a goat to our household catalog of animals, but Nara has a touch of fever and I want to stay with her. I hope those who attended the forum can forgive my absence; I understand that Princess Tikva did a marvelous job leading things. Some of the feedback has already come back to me, and I will be taking some action and making some changes.

While I was fortunate enough to have snagged one of the more tamed goats within the corral at the Keatons natality affair, I am glad to say - Princess Eleyna, I know you look to my whites now and then - that it was promptly delivered to one who had recent married off his daughter and looked a little despondent over the quietness in his residence.

A goat, filled with ennui, I believe, would do just the trick and remind him that he is not alone.

Though, I admit, I give it likely 2 weeks before there is roast goat on his table. Princess Eleyna, make sure to have the recipe sent to the Grimhall's. The duke shall need it.

Our chef at the Velenosa Estate has a wonderful recipe for roasted goat in a spicy sauce for when you all realize that you are keeping dinner as a pet.

I'm only recently well enough to write this. I've been ill. They say that I had a fever and almost died, but I know that isn't true, because every night, I heard the stars singing to me through my bedroom window. They wouldn't have been singing so cheerfully if it was my time.

I don't remember much of what happened. They say I hit my head. I remember cold, and dark. I remember screams, and only some of them are mine as I scream into the night. I know which ones are mine because the others, the ones in the dark, those are cut short. The other screams are just echoes.

I felt the tower crack before it fell, and it felt like something was breaking inside of me, breaking like the breaking of a mirror, shattering me into a million pieces. There was a light in the distance, deep in the dark. Someone had been waiting for a very long time. Gleaming opulent riches, a gift beyond value, and someone took me into his arms, but it wasn't Count Tibault. Someone else was there. A king in my heart. A child with a sword. And the thunder... the waves. My mother looks down on me as the sea pulls me under, and she's singing, but then I realize that she's really just the m

Just because Edain got one full of... something (some say evil), doesn't mean all goats are like that!

Okay, I did have to stop Champ from eating my gown at first, but, as long as he is provided with adequate, unending food sources of various sorts... and is kept away from things I don't wish to be eaten, he'll be a lovely little pet.

Thank you, your Grace, for your kind-hearted word of warning which I will take into consideration. I shall not buy a goat anymore and will cancel what ever orders I might've given to Philip. Rest assured, he shall be thankful to you -- and so I am.

It seems like goats are a nightly trend in the Compact. I shall have to assign one bought to myself. Or is it a part of the fashion to get it gifted?

When Princess Caelis and Lady Fiora conspired to capture a goat at the birthday bash for Count Kael Keaton I thought they were joking when they said they were going to give it to me.

When I woke up this morning I opened my bleary eyes and there, standing on my chest, staring at me with baleful eyes like daggers was Timmons. The pygmy goat just stood there. It made no noise, it merely stared at me with intent I can only call malicious. I closed my eyes thinking I was just having a strange dream but when I opened them he was still there.

So I lifted him off my chest and set him on the ground and built a makeshift pen. At that point herding instinct took over in Caelis' pup Karri, and he hearded Timmons into his "pen" and proudly stood sentry.

As I left the room the goat just stared at me with hate. I think this is not yet over.

We are as ready as a jumped up street rat with a surprising aptitude for administration can make us. For what that's worth.

Hope everyone enjoyed their parties. Now it's time to buckle down and get some shit handled.
