I discovered three things at Thea and Drake's wedding celebration.
One: I can pick a lock.
Two: I can throw a knife almost as good as Domonico, which is saying something.
Three: I look good in black leather dresses as much as I do in black leather armor.
That reminds me, I need to get a proper Southport style military skirt with greaves. I think I don't own anything like that.

Right place, right time. I heard someone talking about a Grayson brunch, and not a word in there about having to be of a certain caliber for entry, slid into my best armor, slapped on some of my finer baubles, and marched on over. No sooner do I cross the threshold of the Grayson Ward, the sky opened.
I got fucking poured on.
I showed up still dripping, my boots squelching with every step. Only stubbornness kept me from turning away, and the fact that I was already drenched, annoyed, and hungrier than the abyss is dark. Fortunately, the company and her guests were all rather understanding, for which I'm exceedingly grateful. I was able to catch up with some old faces and speak to some new ones, and even had my hair threatened with ribbons.
Not a bad way to spend the day.

Storms tend to fall in the capital in a manner that is quieter than I am used to; nothing like the whipping gales and the furious cacophony of thunder and lightning that I had grown up with in Maelstrom. I observed to a friend, once, that it has always discomfitted me. How peaceful it seems in comparison, when rain falls in Arx.
Tonight, it was different.
The last time I experienced a storm like this in the capital, Astarrea was suddenly gone. And so as I watch torrential rain and the promise of lightning illuminating distant dark clouds, I wonder what has happened, and what exactly was called.

I've been busy at the workshop most of the week, but I got some time set aside every day walkin' across this real narrow board, doing stuff to keep my balance and reflexes up, using my hands and all that. Vann's always around with me, I'm hoping this stuff will rub off on him too. I've also been telling people around here to start calling the Beach Walk, Culler Walk instead.

I love my husband. I really do. I miss him. I know he travels with the wind. I knew this when I signed up for this marriage. But, it gets hard. I see others like Raymesin and Tanith together and then feel acutely aware of how much I miss him when he is away. I know he is fine. I know one day he will return. I just wish it were today.

So the first step in creating this library is to tear down some old buildings. I've already hired a crew to go through and check the buildings for people that may still be holing up in there. I would both be surprised and not surprised if folk are in those hovels. We will see how it goes.

That storm was strange. I never saw anything like it! Someone somewhere knows something about it. Why people are asking /me/ if /I/ know anything is beyond me! I am willing to pay silver to learn about it's story.

There is a particular pleasure taken in aiding another in bringing their vision to fruition. I am genuinely delighted to work with such brilliant individuals capable of taking what others might dismiss and rendering it useful or beautiful, giving meaning to the discarded.
It feels like fitting work for spring.

It’s been so long since I’ve written in the whites. It’s like I have no time anymore and when I do have time I try to focus those towards my own projects. I feel a little guilty I’ve had no time to express myself here.
I am an Apprentice Whisper. A goal for much of my life was a falling star, a lofty seed planted in the imagination that is always beyond reach. And yet here I am. Most of my work for them lately has been purely getting to know the work. Tutoring, attending small social gatherings, assisting young Ladies in pulling together outfits that will impress and the occasional quiet conversation with someone who just needs an ear.
When I am not busy there I am on a boat to Tor and back. I spend so often on ships I think at this point I might be able to become a sailor if everything else falls through. Though it would be very difficult to grow a garden out on the water.. So.. perhaps not.
I’ve so many small projects to focus on these days I forget sometimes that I have larger goals to keep an eye on. But hopefully in the end all these small steps will one day be the key to the door behind which my greatest dream lies.
I remain blessed, fortunate, that those I meet have treated me generously. That those who have honed talents I shall never possess are willing to share their inspirations, their dreams and their talents with me without hesitation.
In my more personal progress. Seeking who I am and where I came from seems to be tendrils out and finally come into the light. I would be lying if I didn’t say I wasn’t terrified of what I’ll find but I cannot let that stop me.
The music and dance festival has had so many volunteers and I hope I will see more agree to participate. Of course it is a partially selfish desire. I want to expand my world and to learn more of the worlds of others so that I may experience all the color and life that there is to be experienced. But I think others would benefit it too - to see and hear and feel the beauty that comes from the roots of other places. I hope everyone’s horizons will be expanded for it.
I have a charity auction in the works for House Fidante and I’m pleased to say that the artist that agreed to help has exceeded expectation and her heart and dedication to beauty is birthed in every piece. She deserves every praise that the Lyceum gives her and more.
My only regret is I still seem to have no time to pursue more time spent with friends than an occasional afternoon tea.

I had a lovely conversation with her and she did not mind Doreen at all, and Doreen liked her. Probably because she fed her self proclaimed Queen of Acorns. I look forward to further conversations with her. Lady Lyra that is, not Doreen. I can't get away from Doreen.

It has been a slow week in the shop, which is bad for debt, which, untended, always seems to grow with time - why can't it just remain steady? - but is good for creating.
I have been spending more time trying to work with the Deeplight coral I cannot believe I was lucky enough to be given. It's so different from other stones I've used in my jewelry. It sparkles, and where it doesn't, it holds color deep within without the bright return that other stones have. Instead, its light is like a lighter version of itself. I bet that makes no sense. Well, I guess it just has to be seen.
So that's the work I'm about these days. Making something of mine that's worth seeing with these beautiful stones.

I've never seen a great storm vanish into the ground before, Scholar. Well, I didn't this time either, but enough people have told me that it did that I believe them. Why would I be out in weird lightning, under a sky as black as my heart?
Dunno where it went, though. Do you?

So my sister has now become Lady Thea Wyvernheart. Malvici will miss her, that is clear.
Her and Drake's wedding celebration was enjoyable, even though I kept to myself for most of it.
I did however win the knife throwing contest which is something I suppose.
It's now time to head back to the Cyrto Arch however to say the final farewells to Aahana.

A truly delightful wedding ceremony and then reception between my sister, Lady Thea and the Lord Drake. Between then a strong bond exists and between now the two Houses, that shall live on.
Also there was a new outfit.
Oh and I need lessons in wielding the sabre. Practiced about ten times beforehand and when it matters, smashed through the glass. Send word.
