A wonderful surprise birthday party! The goats were a stroke of genius.
I greatly look forward to whatever event the Countess hosts next!

Mercenaries... Aye, I never thought much about it, don't like taking orders see. Reckon I could be looking into this, if the silver is right and if any mercs are hiring.

I hate parties.
I like soldiers gatherings with alcohol, stories of friends who have left us, and the maudlin reflections that follow.
But I do like a good feast, and Sir Miles and I can pack away food like -no one- else. Old soldiers know to eat when they can, sleep when they can, and screw when they can because there's always the chance it's their last.
If I don't come back from the North, at least I got to have some delicious vittles and a nice glass of wine with my baby sister. The Soiree, as fancy as it was, wasn't my kind of thing. The wine wasn't half bad.

I have a goat!
It is a little odd how happy this makes me.

I have never been more pleased to get my goat.
I was so very lucky tonight and somehow not only managed to catch a very jolly little fellow with a sweet face and beautiful eyes, but much to my surprise I also won a beautiful dagger because of him. I cannot say how delighted I am. I kid you not!
Truly, I have not won many things at parties before. I think I like this very much.
Thank you again to the very sweet Keatons for hosting such a lovey party. I am over the moon!

Not to toot my old family's horn too much, but really - if anyone needs a ladder, find a Sanna or a merchant from their lands. You'll find one that's very sturdy. Maybe even artisanal.

Relationship Note on Khanne
I have heard that my sister went to a soiree, a party of some sort. I have also been informed of a letter of some sort. In order to keep her safe from whatever foolish man was smitten by her wiles, I will have to set a rabbit trap outside her door and attempt to be at her side for the next week. Such actions can only drive this poor fellow off and leave my sister safe to focus on important things... Like spending time with her cousin Brianna.

I've noticed a change since coming to Arx. It seems I find myself fixated on smaller things of lesser scope than when I was in the North. I do not know if it is the lack of true work for me in the city or because such trivial things are easier to pour time into versus true work. Regardless I should seek to nip that in the bud.

My family has a strong tie to many things. They are tied strongly to the north. They are tied strongly to the spirits, in some cases, and honour in others. Some are tied strongly to their past choices while others are tied to the futures they envision. I am tied to none of these things. In all the world, in all the things I could achieve living up to the position of Sword of Whitehold and never failing that sacred trust is all I am tied too. With something so seemingly easy and yet tenuous it makes being tied to nothing else rather easy.

Relationship Note on Leona
For those who are way too invested in the outcome of other people's evenings, I will have you know that Lord Commander Leona Thrax and I attended the Spring Soiree and we both agreed that we had a fabulous time and would not have wished to be there with anyone but each other.
I find that lucky.

Relationship Note on Khanne
A secret admirer? A mystery note? Now /this/ sounds like something worth investigating. You can believe that I am on the case, dearest cousin. I will not rest until I find out who so appreciates my taste in fashion, or until I forget about this for something shinier and newer.
On a more serious note, thank you for attending with me. I am glad that you had a night to have fun, to enjoy yourself. Even if the past haunts us all.
Except Arik, apparently.

I attended. I don't know why people have birthday parties but they do. It was as unenjoyable as expected. I'm not good at hiding that. I don't care. I was there, I'm sure they were horrified at my presence and isn't that what counts?

I forgot to mention, attended a party this week. A princess called me a lady and I corrected her. I'm not sure if it's worse manners to correct a princess or worse not to. Life in the city is so complicated.

I was relieved that I was helpful to the north. I do what I can to help this fealty of mine while I struggle with that I can do to better serve the Blackwoods in their absence. I wish they were around more to help make these things more clear. The best I can do is pray I am a good steward to their interests in Arx and give what aid we can to the Crovane.

I didn't attend. But I paid for it. I must be getting gullible in my old age to be convinced to pay for a party, but there it is. I only regret I wasn't there to ruin all the kids' fun. Next time.

Relationship Note on Lilia
My favorite child. It's good to let them know where in the hierarchy they are. The ones low down - like my eldest son - know they need to do better to impress me. The top candidates - like Lilia - know what behavior to continue. She's a good girl. Smart and friendly and pretty. So, nothing like me. That's not a bad thing. Not everyone should be like me. She's a kind girl and makes me feel like maybe I'm not entirely saddled with unfit children.
