As is becoming something of a trend with Lady Monique's parties, the only disappointment I had with the Spring Soiree was that it didn't last a little longer, like for another week.
In fairness, one extravagant night is as much as you can reasonably ask of the hostess anyway.

A copper crown with blossoms blue and petals raining from the sky. New discoveries and first meetings, and an Archlector who is not as tall as one might suspect, and a Princess taller than one might find. But never to fear, for the Dame has approved ladders if one needs help with any shelves. Artists abound, as well as happy little trees. I've nver found it in me to paint happy little trees, but it is good to hear that there are those that do.

Relationship Note on Tikva
Without any place for debate, the highlight of my day amidst other duties was witnessing Tikva turn a Question and Answers meeting regarding the Ministry of Civil Development into a ballroom party of sorts -- or perhaps just a general dancing party. If I was asked whomever in the Arvium could do such a thing, I would've guessed Tikva.

With so much going on in my life as of late, I have been remiss about writing in my public journals. I am reluctant to write much about the missions I have been part of, though, thankfully, they have been overall successful, for which I am very thankful.
I've been making an effort to be a bit more social too. I have SO MANY people I have need and desire to talk to, and so little time. I haven't forgotten about you... you know who you are.. (all of you on my list).
Brianna had a gown made for me of brighter hues than I usually wear, and gold, as a push to have me attend Monique and Corban's Springtime Soiree. I was overwhelmed by the crowd (there was a rather large one) but, I had a great deal of fun.
Thank you, Bri.
I received a mysterious little note telling me that I looked very good in blue and gold. Drysi refused to tell me who delivered it. The handwriting looks familiar... but as if they tried to mask it. I will figure it out, one way or another. To whomever sent the compliment, thank you.
Sometimes, even a Northern Shaman who likes a no fuss style and tends to look... carefree... likes to feel feminine and attractive.

I've returned from a journey to Redrain lands, which proved quite enjoyable. Rugged as the going was, the sights were spectacular, a reminder that nature's beauty can put to shame even our most elaborate human workings. The diplomacy itself, with some local shav'arvani, was, I daresay, routine: untrusting people, but also poor people, easily reassured by a little compassion and generosity. Really, if only everything was so simple! Still, it was important work, and important that it be done right, so I think my time was well-spent.

I am thankful we all returned from the Neverwinter, perhaps a bit banged up and bruised, but we were successful in our endeavor and retrieved a weapon. A very large, heavy one at that. I think I will go out and visit with Barkfeather this week. And perhaps speak with the Unicorns about him, so that they know he is out there and that it is a safe place for them to go too.
Also, if you ever run across a Basilisk, you can scare one away by making the sound of a rooster crowing. It worked really well for us, glad Fia knew about it.

The Gray Forest expedition continues, and we seem to be making good progress. I was able to go upon a small scouting patrol, where we came upon some brutish creatures harassing (and probably planning to eat) one of the local tribeswomen, along with her dog. Fortunately she was the saved (and the dog too, though I am more neutral on that!) and she has provided us with some information. Unfortunately the braver sorts I traveled with were all beaten up quite a bit, although that somewhat justified my presence!

Since I became an adult, I led men in battle. Shortly after arriving in Arx, I became a Voice of my House. Now I get to add one more title to the list: Game Master. Although running the games at the Spring Soiree does not compare in terms of importance or difficulty, it ranks closer than one might imagine on first impression. Our competitors were spirited, and it took all of my faculties to keep up.
I am delighted by the attendance and response to the Spring Soiree. In dark times, the rebirth offered by Petrichor each new season is something to be celebrated. And as with all great events, there were so many behind its success. I hope you will bear with me as I list a few:
* First and foremost is my fantastic co-host, Lady Monique Greenmarch. She was not only the quintessential hostess, visiting each blanket and socializing with our guests, but the entire event was her brainchild. Her weeks of tireless planning and arrangement made the night run as smoothly as it did.
* His Majesty, the King, both for attending and for gifting the prize of a portrait to the winner of musical chairs.
* Marquessa Quenia and Lady Lucita Igniseri, who arranged for the wine from their vineyards.
* Atelier Joscelin Arterius, who crafted the stunning dragonweep ring.
* Artist Jayanthi Hawkeye, who blended the one-of-a-kind perfumes as a raffle prize.
* Magpie and Mae Grayhope, who created trophies and figurines for our Battle of the Sexes winners.
* Our game and raffle winners Mae Grayhope (Musical Chairs), the women (Battle of the Sexes), Legate Orazio (the perfume and aftershave set), and Count Kael Keaton (the dragonweep ring).
* Duke Arn Telmar, for his contribution of funds.
* Marquis Marius Greenmarch, for opening his Lodge to the revelers and for his contribution of funds.
* And finally, to all of our fine guests and friends without whom it would not have been a night at all. We could not have done it without you.
Now I will sleep and not do it again for quite a while.

I am reminded that sometimes one's mistakes are the best thing to ever happen, despite the resulting, and hopefully temporary, embarrassment or angst.
I am grateful for this little reminder and even more grateful to those who have taken such and used it to build a bridge rather than to burn it.
Feeling so very blessed.

The Spring Soiree hosted by Lady Monique and Lord Corban was an excellent end to a wonderful celebration of the return to spring.
I partook in their games - though I think maybe next year one should get bonus points for being sat on during musical chairs. I'm pretty sure that would have clinched my victory. As it is, I will try to be gracious, and offer my congratulations to mistress Mae Grayhope.
There was also a women verses men game of throwing inflated pig's bladder balls at one another. I'm glad I didn't get hit - it looked painful. And I hope both the church and the gods will forgive me for targeting the Heart of the Faith Legate Orazio and Blessed Aleksei. It's tactically sound to target the leader-types, after all.
I also got to spend time with Lady Neve and Mistress Joslyn, and we had good food and good conversation with many people. I'm not sure if it was the wine or the constant hum of so many people talking that had my head spinning at the end of the night.
All in all, a wonderful experience.

It was an effort made by so many but it all came together rather well, and I was delighted by the results. The Lodge looked magnificent -- and I got my snowfall of flowers. My poor attendants looked at the roof in horror when I first told them, but they pulled it together, bless them. I was rather happy to see each guest, even those that might never agree to it, donning the flower crowns.
The food, provided by the Lodge, was phenomenal and I could not fault a single piece.
Oh, I do love a party. Especially if there are flower petals falling from above.
