The Courtyard is covered in smashed oyster shells. Little pieces scattered everywhere.
Streaks of colour tangle in the tree branches and empty bottles are everywhere.
There's a song caught in my head and I've a small bruise on my arm.
We never know what tomorrow will bring, and that's okay, because today I am smiling.

It's amazing what you can get away with, if you tell people it's for art!
In all seriousness, I was truly inspired this Patron's Day by the creativity of everyone around me. Whether by the performers or creators, the people that took part or those who there to experience it all. I am left invigorated by all the beauty!
Lady Mabelle did an excellent job of building a platform for everyone to shine.
I am consistently in awe of what we can do, when we have the opportunity to just do it.
And encasing my friends in plaster was fun, too!

Last night, Lady Snow left me a gift on my pillow while I slept. A half-dead bug, with a few last movements left in its legs. I screamed. The guards broke down the door. And my cat? She sat there, looking ever so pleased with herself.
I think she just wanted someone to open the door and let her out.
I am prone to wonder, is this what dog-owners deal with? Or do they just look at you, all happy like, wagging their tails?

Four days ago, Lady Snow brought a peculiar feather into my room. It was dyed a bright magenta. The feather was placed on her preferred pillow in the corner. When I tried to get close to look at it, she hissed and swat at me.
When she leaves the room, she takes the feather with her. She does not trust me. I wouldn't either.
I tried to sneak up and get a better look, when she was napping. When she sleeps she holds the feather under her paw. So, I snuck up, but as soon as I reached for it, she woke up. Taking the feather in her mouth, she jumped and climbed up to the top of the bookcase and put it out of my reach.
It was obvious, Lady Snow is hiding something.
For the next couple days, I waited to receive some angry letter about a destroyed gown or fan, something... But, none came. The next time Lady Snow came home with something, it was simply a little grey mouse. Dead. This was kindly left at the foot of my bed, so I could appreciate her hunting skills.
Still, she carried the feather, hid it when she couldn't, and was on edge anytime I came close.
Four days after the magenta feather appeared, Lady Snow comes home with new trophy. I am certain it's a bone. A small one. Clean. A canary perhaps? Frog? I cannot get close enough and even if I did? I probably wouldn't know. It's white at least. Bone white. That particular shade.
This was also put on top of the bookshelf, where she would keep her feather when I was in the room. Unable to resist, I got a chair and tried to climb up. A broken mid shelf, and a pile of books on the floor later, I was climbing back up. Not as soon as I was about to get both the bone and feather in my hand, she leaps at me from out of nowhere. I fall. She takes the feather and bone in her mouth and bolts out of my room.
It's been almost a day and I have not seen her or the items in question... I can only begin to guess, what carnage has occurred.

I had a lot of fun at Race Across Arx this past week!
The riddles were challenging, I saw lots of the city, got a good work-out and 'Blades and Brushes' came in second!
I did break a harp though, oops, may need to send some silver over for that one...
But let's not HARP on it!

3 feet... 20 feet... What does it really matter? Art knows no boundaries. I've always been fond of making a statement.
On a related note, the mural for House Malvici is complete.
Fourteen children. Fourteen caravels. Fourteen hawks. But only one Finn. As far as dogs go, he's the best. As far as art subjects go, he is also the best behaved.

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.

We all bring something to the table. Whether it is our ability to coin a phrase, slit a throat or light up the room with a smile. It is our combined strengths that matter, for they reduce our weaknesses to nothing. Our victory is in our ability to work together, to be our best and be ourselves.
You are beautiful, just as you are.
I am ready to fight and I've got something worth fighting for.
