Relationship Note on Neilda
"Don't tell me what to do, Haakon! I'm a peacock, you have to let me fly."
"Peacocks are the male birds, and NONE OF THEM FLY, NELL."
An actual exchange of words shouted during a life and death fight. Even if the living were all ours and the dying were all theirs.

Relationship Note on Sunaia
Years ago a special place to Limerance was built in Nilanza as part of the Pilgrimage path and ever since the Hall of Vows was completed I have known that it is the one place I would wish to be married. It is in the one place where the Nilanzan people who matter so much to me, my family, and the sacred rites of Limerance all come together.
I have been fortunate enough to see that dream come to fruition.
Recently, in the House of Vows, Sunaia accepted me as her husband and joined Malespero in a match that should secure the bonds of friendship between Malespero and Ashford for many years to come.
I am both humbled, and overjoyed, to be tackling this new phase of life with her by my side. Welcome to Malespero Sunaia.

Curiosity.
Yes, Scholar, I know one word isn't really worth submitting. If you're going to be snarky, I'll write it myself! The fact that you're writing down my side of the conversation tells me you get a rise out of this. Yes, fine, I'll continue.
I've joked before that curiosity may be my most deadly trait, my fatal flaw. There isn't always a reason why I want to know something, other than to know it. I have no immediate plans for most of the knowledge I acquire. It all gets tucked away in my memory for - well, for safe keeping? Just in case. My very own library of information to call upon if ever needed. No, Scholar, I don't think I should consider joining your discipleship. That is hardly the case! I just don't seem to be cut out for discipleship, after all.
Back to my point. Yes, I had one! It turns out, I have quite the talent for teaching, and I enjoy doing it. My professorship at the college was fairly short-lived; there were some. Well. Points of disagreement. Not that the college isn't an incredible institution! It just wasn't for me. A while back, I had this realization around the same time Princess Cerys had decided to sell her private home. I'd been there before, meeting with her to discuss some events, and the place was gorgeous. And I bought it on a whim.
I've had carpenters and painters and such in doing a lot of work to transform it into a place of learning. There is a lecture hall/classroom - that will be used soon! Messere Evaristo and I are working together on a public discussion. I've converted the ballroom into an incredible conservatory, which can still be used as a ballroom, or a meeting space, or just a place to relax among the plants. There's a proper apothecary garden going in come spring. And I'll have an office where I can meet with patients or students privately if they do not wish to meet in their home or elsewhere.
I've had so many new students recently, and I've been offering lessons everywhere from the couch at the Black Fox to the dining table at home. It will be nice to be able to consolidate my efforts, provide formal structure to my students, and start putting all of my curiosity to use for others. Some of my curiosity.

This year has been good for battles at sea.
Led a number of our longships alongside Redreef, Blackshore, and Bloodstorm in a merry little skirmish against Abandoned at Horderacht Isle.
A word to the wise: seeking to surround your foes does you little good unless you have an advantage in numbers. Just ends up spreading out your force, and gets you punched in the teeth in detail.
No one tell the Shavs, though.

Wise general, remember that no battle runs smoother than that which you have concealed from the enemy until you execute it.
To know how to recognize an opportunity in war, and take it, benefits you more than anything else.
Discipline in war counts more than fury.

I'm back from Bastion after a long 'vacation'. Though in reality I just spent the entire time training and hitting soft things with sharp things. It was nice to get back to what I'm good at, and a nice reminder that I can't let myself go soft or lose my edge... I can't let Gloria or the Grayson name down. Not that I don't enjoy the life I've created -- I just can't let myself get too distracted by pleasantries.

Pasquale and Sunaia's wedding at the House of Vows in Nilanza was perfect. The weather might be a touch chilly still, but it's far warmer than the capital, absent snow, with waters just pleasant enough still for swimming. The subsequent days spent hosting a few notable guests, showing them my march and much of its loveliness, helped lighten my heart in such unexpected ways. The joy of deepening acquaintances, the rarest pleasure of being seen and understood, the sheet delight of witnessing silliness from oft-restrained sources.
I feel fortunate today, both to have such fine friends and to see my family grow so well. Lady Sunaia is a fine addition to House Malespero, and I hope, come spring, that we can set to answering all she asked for, the least of which will be planted once the ground is soft enough.

Sing me a song of your sorrows,
I'll let it fill up all my tomorrows.
Sing me a song of your despair,
With it I will prepare...
A heart made of clay,
And at your feet it will lay.

I'm not very good at poetry, dear scholar. I never was. But sometimes I will try.

Scholar,
I have run across a series of books involving a Baron and baked goods, A trip into the fiction section leading me
to believe that either the writer is a gourmand of the highest order or was not talking about baked goods at all.

We are visitors, all of us, and were never intended to stay long. The ocean knows this. She calls out to her children in mysterious ways, but most frequently is it felt in the impulse one discovers when standing ashore and staring out upon the horizon. A desire to wade into the shallows and never return; a hunger to learn what other primordial secrets she may know.

I have returned to Arx refreshed and in relatively good spirits after spending a few days in Nilanza - a Lycene territory that I have never been before but always wanted to visit. My lord Romulius Blackshore, in his unfailing generosity and devoted reluctance at the prospect of letting me anywhere on the ocean without his expertise and protection, managed to bring me and my retinue safely to its shores.
The Malespero wedding was a lovely affair, and my visit to the march went beyond my expectations, in no small part due to the hospitality and charm of its lady, Lianne Malespero, and Guildmaster Apollo Whisper. It is very rare that I attend social engagements to begin with, much less ones that are not situated around the capital's proper, but as uncharacteristic as it sounds, I was looking forward to this one.
Despite my short stay, I have grown fond of Nilanza, and I hope to visit it often in the months to come.

Struttington has spent more and more time away from the manor, Lady Malespero. I assume that means that Bibi has laid her eggs and we'll be expecting to host some sort of party at the tower for when those eggs hatch. I look forward to it.

There's something undeniably sweet coming home again. It's like a deep, well-wanted kiss from someone you might fancy. Especially in cold weather.
Almost makes me want to go wandering once again.

Tonight I had the pleasure of sharing company with several individuals that I've gotten to know somewhat over the past couple of months, and at least one I've known for several years. The event had a surprise ending, and a glass of sparkling wine that had hints of strawberries.
I do long for warmth of summer, as the swirling snow has hit me in the face for the thousandth time this season.

I've been given a bit of the Deeplight Coral I've heard so much about! The glimmer on them can't be imagined until they are seen. For all I was told about it, I still couldn't believe my eyes when I finally got to see it.
I know, all this excitement and I still feel late to it. I heard so much about the piece featured at the Eswynd Coral Ball that I'm sorry I never had a chance to glimpse it. But maybe that's for the best. Maybe it leaves me more open to see what the coral can do, when worked. You know, like not being stuck in what I've seen others create of it and around it?
I've never been in this spot before, with jewelry. Is this what exploration feels like? Possibility?
