Interesting meetings recently. Enough to have me pay attention to the daily happenings in the city, something that has been more difficult of late.

It's been a mixed blessing.

I was glad, however, to learn of Lady Sanya's latest choice. The Liberators' is a worthy cause.

War makes people wicked because, to take part in it, one must harden oneself against all regret, all appreciation of delicacy, and sensitive values. In war, one must live as if those values did not exist, and when many who return lack the resilience to return to those values. It is far easier to breach all mores of society and live like a monster than to reclaim one's humanity and forego the easiest solutions to pressing needs.

Will you make armor with pockets for me? I have the materials and I want pockets for my pants.

The Bee Poetry contest will end in a few days.
However, I was right, I do not understand poetry.
Oh!
That does not mean you should not submit!

Berenice has outdone me again: I had one child, she has had four, and in their infant state they are slightly more endearing than my raging daughter. Three blue kittens, one black, each with crescents or sickles or splashes of white on them.

In a few short months, I shall have to decide their homes. How to determine who is deserving of the spawn of such a haughty queen? It will be something to consider.

Maxene found a gray strand. She plucked it out, thinking to hide it from me.

This is on par with the woods that one time with Teagan.

I have a new apron and it is one of the most wonderful things I have ever been gifted. The pockets are perfect sizes and the design is amazing. My old one felt apart some time ago and I just never saw to replacing it. This one? I bet will last til I am old and gray. If I make it to old and gray, mind you.

Relationship Note on Enyo

I miss you. I think about you often, but I forgot that you were a Malvici. I noticed the sigil on a chest and wondered why I had it at all, until I remembered.

I still have your sword. Maybe I should learn to fight with bigger blades than daggers? I'm sure you'll come back for it some day, but I know you'd be happy to see it used until then.

I kept a pendant and a ring of yours, as well, for when you return.

Come back.

My daughter Nora takes after her father Tyren. Quiet, calm, alert. Sharp as a tack. Baby Cassander, though...he's only a few days old and yet full of righteous fury. That one? He takes after his mother.

Sometimes it's good to try your hand at something new, and sometimes it's not.

I tried poetry this week. I hadn't intended to since poetry isn't something that I've ever enjoyed, but on hearing of Lady Mabelle's contest, inspiration struck! I thought it four lines of perfection myself, and Ria nearly choked on a nut so great was his surprise that I, /I/ could write something so passionate. Lady Mabelle's reaction was a little less promising, so I shall not pen another poem. It's perhaps for the best.

I have turned my hand to art instead, and tonight sketched the figure of a man emerging from the ocean. Now, as I look at what I drew, he more resembles a squid than anything else.

Another birthday, tomorrow. Another year I've survived. This getting old, it's not half so bad as I'd always feared it would be. I wouldn't say I've wisened with time, but I'm still alive. That's got to count for something.

The horrors of war are not what you imagine.

They are not wounds and blood and fever, spotted and low, or dysentery, chronic and acute, cold and heat and famine.

They are the despair, demoralization, and disorder of the defeated, and the cruelty, indifference, and brutality of the victor.

Wars therefore must be stopped at the first possible moment, otherwise they corrupt us.

They create new problems and make our future even more uncertain.

Many years ago, I wouldn't have thought my life would go in this direction. But I'm happy with the decision I've made. And I thank Master Aleksei for being so welcoming. I hope to be a worthy addition to the Liberators.

My anger is often silent, seething. It sits heavy like an unworked lump of metal waiting to take shape. I look forward to wielding it though I don't envy those to whom this newly forged blade will be directed towards.

Don't look at me like that, Scholar. I'm not going to murder anyone.

I am back in Arx, it really is a wonder how much more chaotic this city is compared to the less tamed lands outside its walls. But, if I am to be honest with myself, it is good to be back, and catch up with the family that lives her.

I cannot thank Evaristo enough for these little bottles. They're absolutely perfect for my hangover 'cure'!

A memorandum on the necessity of wound management following disarticulation:

Physiological trauma to an extremity may necessitate amputation for the preservation or salvaging of function.

The most common developments in patients who have elected to follow through with the aforementioned procedures are hospital gangrene, septicemia, and pyemia. I have personally observed these conditions in care centers and surgical wards with poor ventilation and exceedingly unsanitary environments (floors, cots, instrumentation). In some cases, disease may compromise those originally unaffected, indicating an unknown mechanism of transmisson.

Given the probability of complications when evidence of tissue necrosis or abscess formation is discovered, it is therefore recommended that all clients requiring emergent intervention receive regular changings of dressings in sterile recovery chambers.

As an aside, I remind practitioners that the safest and most effective methods currently involve a sweeping incision about the circumference of limb, immediate ligature of artery and vein, transection of muscle, and sawing of bone.
