Smoke rises. Smoke rises the way that heat rises from sun-baked stone of our roads or sizzling sand of our beaches. Smoke rises from a haze cigarillo. In that smoke, my mood rises. It tastes like lemongrass. Like orange peels. It joins my heart. My spirit, high. Without the haze. Without the spirits. There's a word for it, I'm sure, but I don't remember it. It disperses in the air. I feel like that, now, sometimes. Lighter. More often than I did. I suppose, this - is what happiness should feel more like.
How many choices brought me here.
Maybe, next time - I'll pray.

I gather turnips. These things are hard, so, I will need to hire out the carving of them. Thirteen times thirteen. Until the Paramour is dazzled with lamp-light.
I'll eat the radishes.
That -- is okay, isn't it, Scholar?

I gather ships and spears for a great reaving into the Saffron chain.
Let those with the taste for such seek me out.

A constant in my life is missing. To serve as a Hound is to serve loyaly, as I was reminded so fiercely that night not a fortnight ago. Or was it? I'm sure there will be questions. I don't mind those. But I'm feeling grief again, little one, though it's clean now, what it was meant to be. Because ... because ...
I don't feel her anymore. It has to be right, doesn't it? I won't weep. I have promises to keep.

Meetings are handy for avoiding weird, spooky fog. Weird, spooky fog doesn't reciprocate, it spawns even more meetings instead. Such a painful, twisted blessing.

It was quite a pleasure to be able to perform this week. It was my first true performance since my return from Setarco, and I feel that the audience was rather engaged. It was wonderfully fulfilling to bring such joy once more.

I am pleased to say I did NOT embarrass myself co-hostessing and the best thing to come out of it was getting to know Princess Macda better. She seemed quite pleased with the evening so I will take my successes where they may be found.

I was kindly invited to the Grayson dinner party a few nights ago, by a lovely new friend. It was a silly hat party and I wore a hat that looked like Lady Snow sitting in a tea cup. I cannot remember why I had that hat made, I am sure there was a reason for it, but it escapes me now.
When I got home, and was faced with the real Lady Snow, she was not impressed. Let's be honest, Lady Snow doesn't like anyone (except the children and Cato...), and she often gets angry with me, just because she can.
I made the mistake of putting down my hat and going off to show off the wings I got around the Estate.
I came back to utter carnage. Fake fur everywhere.
Let it be known, there is only one Lady Snow. Imposters will be decimated on sight.
It was however, a wonderful party.

I am pleased to be riding again. Sunshine is an exceptional horse, I couldn't be more pleased with her temperament. Gentle, but still feisty as all. There are days my head is spinning with so much information, so many challenges, so much to consider. It is hard to escape for a long period of time, but I can mount up and go for a fast ride, feel the wind in my hair and get a moment of freedom. It makes all the difference.

I’d like to see within Arx a public garden in the palace ward which has every Queen and her consort, or King and his consort, since the founding of Arx. As you wind through the garden path you can be reminded of what they are remembered doing before they died, what mark they left. There’s plenty of gaps that I have. The same could be said then for each great house. These leaders, no matter how long they led, deserve to be kept alive in our memories.
Walking through a garden, seeing what Queen-Consort or King-Consort such and such did. What their king or queen did.

To walk by the shrine each day and see if there has been any improvement, any lessening of the vines that constrict a place of quiet contemplation and worship and see no change at all may cause some to despair. But it is an opportunity to examine the things we take for granted daily, and vow to make changes. Honor Lagoma daily in such small acts, and have faith. That is what I will do.
