Journey soon to be planned to once more take caravel down to Southport. To arrive back at home in something of luxury but allowing also the space to work. Space for an office paramount since there are always journals to review.
Always stories to understand and the weaving world that we live in. Thankfully a few days at sea means less distractions.
Unless there's company.

It was a lot of fun, talking with new friends. Well old. Raven is old. Not an older PERSON! I've just known her a bit. She's new to Cadern I guess. Stop laughing at me! I didn't say she was an old woman! Ugh! Anyway, I hope she comes back to visit. I think we sorta learned a bit from each other.

I formed a new relationship, scholar. After so many months of searching, I found a new protégé. I can't wait to see where this all leads.

My first party in Arx since I have arrived and it seems that I yet still manage to live.
Although it was not without bloodshed thanks to Princess Keely's inspired game of making the others pantomime dancing trees. I have not laughed that loud or that hard since having to leave Bastion! Although sadly, I didn't get to make my introductions to all that I wished, thanks to Lord Grady, I've been asked for time to discuss matters by so many, I'll have to have my bed moved to the shrine so that I may sleep there instead between office hours.
But I did meet several quite interesting people, but then again, all souls are interesting in their own way. So much for the swirling waters filled with silken sharks, hm?

Hazel. Tilette. Tilly. Etta. Sarina. Noelle. Luciana. Valena. Elsabet. Adrian. Emerson. Avril. Fenix. Honor someone? Allow them to make their own way? Give an important name from history? Allow them a fresh slate? Names.

Lord Yuri and I make remarkable trees. I am glad that I was paired with such an unmoveable partner. Especially considering Noah's idea of wood is less a tree and more fallen log.

It has been a much needed quiet few days recently. At least, quiet for me. There are many things which need my attention, but they seem to have waited just fine.
We are expecting another little lord or lady Eswynd in a few months. This may help to explain why I have been less engaged in the city's social calendar as of late. My attention has been upon my health and my family. I do not often allow myself to rest - there are many duties to attend to, but I feel much more clear of mind.
There will be a fishing event to honor Mangata during the Days of Libation, and while I cannot partake, plenty of drink for all who attend. There will be prizes for the most impressive fisherfolk, as well. And soon after, I will be settling into a new series of scheduled lessons for the Apothecary College and Physicians Guild. And the autumn gala is not too far off, either. Plenty to prepare for!

I had a wonderful time at Princess Keely's forest dance this evening. I find myself quite exhausted as I dash these words off between my return and falling in my bed, to sleep the sleep of the righteous. Or the tired, at any rate, and really, tired people must sleep better than righteous ones, what with all the injustice in the world. It's a wonder that righteous people sleep at all!
I rather think I may have a future, if the diplomacy thing doesn't work out, as an interpretive dancer, just so long as I am interpreting trees. Or maybe it was my charming dance partner who brought all of that out. Let nobody say that Thea Wyvernheart is not a very graceful dancer, especially if the person trying to say it is her!

Darkness ever looms, and with it many sharpen their blades and have their armor buffed up or upgraded. Others also sharpen their words, their relations, and their knowledge of tactics. While diplomacy is a great love of mine, so too are economics and the endeavors that few may see behind the armies and walls of a holding. Of course I can not take credit for all that Redrain has built these last several years. So many have contributed and it is my hope that we, in turn, have contributed back. Armies need to be fed, holdings possibly rebuilt, and the families of those who may fall given stipends (which could never make up for such loss, but are still helpful, I hope). Preparing for these things have been a focus of mine since I first came to Arx shortly before the Pirate War struck. It shaped me, that war, or changed me. I never again wanted to feel helpless to assist those we are sworn to protect, or those outside of the Northlands who might need help. I suspect you can never been fully prepared for anything, but it's my hope that we will be capable should the time come. I feel like that might be far sooner than any of us hoped.

I completed the intriguing dagger commission for Lady Monique and, as usual, she rewarded my efforts far too generously. I also worked on some battle gloves for the shop - we will see how well they sell. I am truly excited to be working on weaponry that focuses on the sweet science, as I like to call it. Pugilism, brawling, fisticuffs - whatever one might use to describe bare-handed fighting, is of course something close to my heart. I may no longer be able to claim the title of premier pugilist of the West Marches, but that will never dim my love for as much.

Five new daggers, each more exquisite than the last. I'm sure there are no few people in Arvum who would shake their heads and say "Why do you keep arming her, Dame Ida? Don't you realize she throws them AT US!" And yet, you keep arming me but I think you've found the loophole. You've made such exquisite works that I cannot even fathom using them to throw at people that I don't mean to kill for fear that I might not get them back! Clever woman. Your star shines brighter than ever.

Acts of service. We think of the grand gestures, but what of the little ones. A whispered thought, a stolen touch, a bath arranged, a problem resolved, a story shared. A kindness when one wasn't expected. This has been in my thoughts of late. The seemingly smallest gestures can resonate soundly on one's soul.
