The siege rages outside the city. Battle nears. I wish it would come. The waiting always stretches my nerves more than the act itself. In action, I am most alive.
My affairs are in order. I understand my place in the defense of the gate. I shall not falter when the time comes.
And I've had a bit of fun.
My nerves feel looser tonight.
I am as ready as I can be.

It has been a bit strange not spending so much time around the tower, but then again I also feel very separated as well. I have never been one to gossip and to listen to rumors, I have always been the straight forward kind. Maybe this is why I feel disconnected, I don't know. But I will keep on my path and know that Gloria will guide me on my new adventure.

Is a dance really worth it, if it's never asked for? I certainly enjoy the ones I've taken.

No moves? I'm disappointed.

It is not everyday one finds company and pleasant conversation.
Thank you Prince Aiden, Prince Valerion, Princess Seva, and Princess Marian..

FINALLY! It took you damn well long enough to make it to Arx. I would call it impeccable timing, but y'know, death and impending doom are on our doorstep. Once we get all this mess behind us you and I will have to find some -true- trouble to get into, like we used to all those years ago.

The Crovane Duke: He holds true to stories of their..nature? Rough, brisk, and unforgiving - not that I am complaining. I find our opinions line up quite well the more we talk.

Sorry, the wager got cut short. We'll find something to bet on again.

Soup stones are catching on with the Guard, but I just found some fool who'd plucked a mossy rock out of the dirt and stuck it straight in a stew. I managed not to lose my temper, barely. I said it around the barracks, and I'll say it here as well. If someone wants a soup stone come talk to me and I'll help you get one. A CLEAN one.

Aureth
Lost a cousin today to the Faith... but we all gained a brother, I suppose. Aureth's scared me over the last few months that I've been back in the city, but now that I'm starting to understand some of what's going on around him, I suppose I feel lucky to be close to someone doing such incredible things.
I have to ask though, does he piss holy water now?

The city is..strange. It's an adjustment. The people are not what I expected, but then I suppose I was not sure what to expect. The Redrain have been hospitable and kind, for the most part, and I am glad to see Petal striving and her business taking off. But, I do worry that we have fled from danger to danger. I have pledged myself to stand upon the wall and provide what aid I can as a volunteer for Redrains troops.

It's strange being south...I begin to miss the North.
Yet I have met so many here...when the time comes, or rather if the time comes,
I do believe it will be difficult to leave it behind if necessary.

I wonder, how many days it will be before they push. How long before we must stand and fight, or fall, and this will all be decided. The waiting is the hardest part, and it tests each moment our resolve to persevere in the face of what is to come.

I've watched a fair amount of sparring matches over the past few weeks and months. It puts into good relief what I am giving up, what I am, and what mistakes I made. Watching others train as I so casually did months ago makes me think about my oath to my house. The reflection is good, the itch to be back to where I was before is good too. I think its all needed.

I find Duke Asger Crovane to be an interesting and humourous man with a good head on his shoulders. I've greatly enjoyed the friendship we have created and look forward to stronger bonds between Redrain and Crovane as time marches on.

I will be grateful when this siege is over, and victory is had. When we can throw open the gates and breathe again.
I think the very first thing I will do is take Bear out for a long ride.

I drank too much willow tea for my head wound and slept through my cousin's ceremony. I'm a shit Grayhope sometimes.
