Saw a rare feat on a Maelstrom dock:
A man lost a swordfight to a bottle.

How the fuck does that even happen?

Relationship Note on Camilla

I am not often compelled to take a protege, nor am I ever actively seeking one out. But when you know instinctively that you've found a perfect complement, you act. Without hesitation. Without thought. You seize the day, take what life offers and make it yours because if you don't risk anything, you risk everything.

And already my instincts have been proven out. She is magnificent.

An aquamarine waterfall of feelings descend from the innermost corner of my heart
unfolding the deepest thoughts, the loving thoughts, the glorious thoughts, the gloomiest thoughts
childhood memories float in tiny rainbow paper boats
dance on the softest petals of petite flowers emanating perfumes of sense-robbing mixed scents
serenade me away to the forest of dreams in a playful swing of my coral passions
weaving the tapestry of mysterious stories depicting eternal melody of love and loss

I am a Nightingale
singing a song of lavender dreams and hopes, under an ultramarine canvas blending turquoise sky and sapphire ocean
twilight moon flickering ribbons of love
my audience - the pearlescent clouds, gleaming stars, souls with a poetic heart!

I write for myself
I write for you
I write for the future generations to come.

My story is their story, my life is their life
The vermilion sky at dawn kindle an inspiration in me,
So do the gossamer rays of crimson twilight
humming river, cadence of ocean-waves, snow-capped mountain-peaks
Twittering birds, twinkling stars
History of human race, struggles and victories.

I has come to my attention that my humour might lead people to commit acts of violence.

You are welcome for this knife changing experience.

I'm feeling restless. Like I want to run. But I don't know where. How are? I need to stretch my legs.

I spent the day out at sea. For an event hosted by my brother Martino and friend, Princess Denica. My brother did our other brother proud in his speech, remembering him. I can only hope I made my family proud with the capabilities I displayed. My team didn't win, but I think we enjoyed ourselves nevertheless. Congratulations to the house of Thrax. Who unsurprisedly won the new ship. And Lord Mattheu, who won something as well. He fought well.

Relationship Note on Vitalis

I received the most thoughtful gift. One that brings enjoyment to my whole house. Bubbles! You blow a solution through a stick and out they come. Calo laughs in delight, the dogs chase them. It really is the most thoughtful gift. From one alchemist to the next...Thank you Lord Vitalis.

Relationship Note on Medeia

You begged me to stop calling your husband out on his embarrassing statements and I agreed to it under certain terms. I did not gloat and did not make it public. Is the lady so bored and unwise that she has to rekindle feuds she worked so diligently to end? Methinks she married her perfect match.

Oh, this -- this is a familiar ache, a fathoms-deep longing that I didn't think I wanted again. Here I am. Adrift.

It's always a lovely day to be able to dance upon the waters and have the wind lead us upon adventure.

A teamed event where racing with ships, then firing upon each other, and seeking to board the others. All ending with last one standing upon the decks.
While all sails were equally matched and the point to it being to have fun with others while seeking a joined love for sailing and a bit of fight, the Yellow Sail was left standing.

Whisper Cesare and Baron Aedric made for a wonderful team.

Apparently, there are types of wasps that are quite unlikely to sting - even when disturbed. How compelling.

When was the last time that I saw you for longer than the time spent asleep -- and time spent dreaming? I do not remember that last time at all -- not the time of day, not the place, not the details of the conversation, not even what ensemble you were wearing. I remember the curve of your lower lip, the way that your eyes seemed silver, and the lone night-black curl that grazed your cheek.

I have been spoiled. Not one but six parcels arrived for me this morning before I even opened my eyes. The most precious of these are the words that came attached to the gifts.

Vulnerability in the face of one whom you proclaim feelings for is perhaps the sexiest quality in a lover. Forgive me if I am feeling greedy for all that is offered. I've already accepted and submitted from the first moment.

What a strange few weeks it has been. I had not expected to find myself reminding people that becoming offended at the implied weakness of pirates located in the Lyceum's waters is ridiculous - especially when their offense comes at the slight to Lycenes? Pirates, that likely came from places outside of the Lyceum and actively disrupt the trade and safety of Lycene houses, should not be considered citizens of the Lyceum that deserve a defense when their ease of being crushed is stated publicly. Their weakness is a boon to smaller houses reliant on their small fleets. That, and the offense was targeted at someone who married a Lycene, has helped to improve the naval capabilities of at least one Lycene house, and is risking his life to protect the Lyceum's trade interests. A truly baffling situation. It makes me question where loyalties actually are for some. But I was told it was not a good look for me to try to clear up this matter on my husband's behalf. I will keep this in mind should I ever hear someone sympathize with the Skal'dajans; it is clearly wrong to speak out against enemies of the Compact.

Yes, Scholar, that last was sarcasm.

Collaboration is always the best way to accomplish any task! I have recently announced the upcoming Race Across Arx, and am looking forward to the event. While the initial seed of the idea is mine, I shall have to remember to give credit to Princesss Lark Grayson, Guildmaster Caprice Artiglio, and my protege Sira for providing some much needed honing of the idea.

Most specifically, Princess Lark helped save me from what might otherwise have been a rather tone-deaf display in a manner I had not even conceived of.

I do hope that the event is successful both in generating some much needed unity and providing some much needed diversion in these times of strife.

I had the fortune of running into a most intriguing noble today, Baroness Vaevici. She seems to have some great ideas for her House, and has news of troubles with supply lines to the south. I am wondering if the Silver Consortium can help ease their troubles...

Today a very large oval object was transported to the grounds, looking like it's carved from bone with a rough exterior of tan and pale white but I'm told it is a rare egg of something.

Time will tell if whatever is inside decides to emerge.
