I've done both in the last few weeks, and people seem to be quite surprised by it. I don't know why, it's not like silks can't be Marquessa such-and-such or Highlord Wotsit, as well as a person who laughs and lives and loves. Do they really think Lowers scum are less complicated than they are?
Stupid question, Ray. A lot of them don't think we feel pain or hardship like they do. Of course they think we're simple creatures.

Life will never be the same again. Some things change us. Sometimes the chaff is burned away and you're left with the raw substance. It is then that one must shape that into something new - something better.
The House of Solace will be a place of peace and succor again. We will all heal. We will say our goodbyes. Lagoma can help us with this transition - if we but let her.

The Butterfly Lounge is now open for business! Those who want music or entertainment can finally visit me directly in the Pravus Ward! It's been quiet here so far, but with a concert and other events to come, it will soon be bright and lively!
Very soon, I'll also stock my showroom with some new gowns. But that means I must get to work finding a design that will sell well.
I believe I'll start with some nice silks, but inspiration needs to strike...

I took part in a raid of a pirate base among such allies as the Kennex brothers, Lord Ian and Lord Wash, Lady Emily Deepwood, Jarla Krarstin Tidelord, and Lords Branimir and Haakon Eswynd. No mercy was shown to any fool who put themselves before our blades. We return to our homes richer for it.
The waters surrounding Redreef Shores have been full of dolphins lately. Even returning home from this raid, they danced through the water alongside my boat. I have put out word to keep the fishermen away from them. I have taken a liking to these animals.

Surely Lagoma was with us, helping us through the constantly changing circumstances. And through her Harlequins, the Queen of Endings and Beginnings to provide succor for all who needed it.

Anyhow, so I found myself presented with two requests that I didn't expect: an armor commission and knowledge about something that seems to be called a cestus (being made famous by one Sydney, a fighter I continue to hear a lot about, so no surprise there). The former from General Piccola Tessere, and the latter from a man named Gael - both new faces to me. I rarely create armor anymore, if ever, if mostly due to my inability to work the better metals for it. Weapons have always been my love and where I focused my learning. Still, it's been so many years since I've done a set, I'm looking forward to dusting off the old shaping tools.
As to the request from Gael, I'm afraid I wasn't much help, though I'm sure I've /seen/ things like he's described before. I've probably been put on my back once or twice by someone with such even. They sound more like a leatherworker's thing, even if they might be used as a weapon. Still, the inquiry made me curious and I might see about trying to fashion something like them sometime. I worked and saved for several years and managed to have a pair of steelsilk handwraps made for myself, and I can see how adding a little something might make them even better.
All told, it was an inspiring sort of day filled with interesting things and excellent company.

During her time away, we have progressed on the art gallery and it is ready to be opened - the opening is in a week, I've done several new paintings for it. My artwork has gotten more detailed and life-like through the years, but I feel I can still learn much more.

I have been neglecting you. I'm sorry. Stop that! Don't look so sad. I've been busy. See there has been a mass exodus of the house of solace. All patients removed and either tended to at home or at the hospital. It's been so busy. I saw one mercy carry an elderly man on her back. I myself have been running between people's homes to offer care. Shut up scholar! I can too run! Not well. But I can!
I did realize it was prudent I buy some pants.Chaffing is no laughing matter.
Shut up scholar. I just said it was no laughing matter.

Relationship Note on Svana
You may very well be the legend to those that love you. Your love could touch people in ways you do not realize. A moment of a smile is a lifetime for others. Do not compare your walk to the walk of others; your walk is your own. Your walk is special. There are so many in Arx, you are a rarity merely by existing. In life, that makes you a legend as well. For there is only one.
Please note that the scholars may take some time preparing your journal for others to read.
