To meet a full Knight of the King's Own in the sparring circle is always an honour. Sir Filshiar's technique was an education in itself, but I do find myself in need of better armour. The King's Own are rather better-equipped than I. Still, my conversation with Master Emele bore fruit; hopefully my duties will allow time to visit her in this coming week.

No few in the family remain in Farhaven even though the warmth of Spring is hinted at in the air. That hint is here in Arx, of course. It will be at least a month or two before those inklings might make it home. I'm all the more grateful for the family, and especially friends, that remains here in the city. There is much to do and having the opinions and support of others from the Northlands and realm just steps away from the villa is truly a comfort these days.

Squall seems to be getting better at realizing that the steps cannot be went down at break neck speeds. Though him tumbling did make me laugh. I am horrible sometimes. He's alright though, Scholar. I promise.

I am so happy that spring has sprung! While it is early yet and there is snow that needs to melt away and there will be that sludgy-muddy period to come, I am excited for the flowers. And the planting. The time to be in the gardens with my students is upon me.
Also, tea with friends in the gardens. I look forward to spending the time with them.

I seem to have worried people by writing that I am going away. It won't be for long. Arx is home.

With the news being what it is I've decided it is time for me to head back to Nilanza, check on my soldiers, and spend time with Lianne and her twins. I expect it will be good for me to get away. The last couple of years have not been kind.

The shop needs some new things in the cases out front. Honestly, I've been so preoccupied the last few months that they'd probably just stay empty for awhile, but I received a request for a couple of commissions that drew me out. Intriguing projects, both of them, and one that was completely foreign to me. It was challenging, but anything that is rewarding when done tends to be. I am so grateful, too, because I might not have pulled myself out of preoccupation otherwise. So now I just have to think of what fill the cases with this time.

There is so much meaning in a name, so much so that to remember one can bring you to your knees in such a longing that it feels as if you are pain.

Spider, spider, spinning in your web
Spider, spider, waiting for my dread
Spider, spider, lurking in the dark
Spider, spider, haunting us in Arx.
Where are you, little spider?

Secrets. Secrets everywhere around me. I started writing these journals because a priest told me it was an act of divinity. I thought he was just trying to separate me from my coin. And then I realized anyone could read them. Which, at first, wasn't that big of a deal. After all, who wants to read the thoughts of a Lowers rat like me?
Today, I realized it doesn't really matter, not at all. Secrets. Secrets everywhere. I can't write them, because everyone can read them. Even the gods, the priests tell me. So who can I write to about secrets? Do I just keep those to myself? Keep them inside me, hidden in the dark like a thief in an alley waiting to rob, rape, and murder?

A fucking alarcite sword. It's too fucking much. I am never going to be able to reciprocate a gift like this. Of course he tried to blame Raja but fessed up it was his idea. I am incredibly touched but a bit overwhelmed by a gift that is likely to be the finest thing I'll ever own in my whole life.

My research on the Brass Knight continues slowly. I do not know if I ought to continue or start looking more into platinum or a different subject entirely. Perhaps I need to beseech the Queen of Endings since this all seems to point to her nemesis. So much, and yet so far to go.

I appreciated the dinner that Princess Isolde hosted for the whole fealty. When I voiced my concerns and requests, I felt she listened and that they would be acted upon, a boon in my new role.

Time flies when you're elbows deep into research. On the other side my recently returned cousin seems happier. It warms the heart to see. Finally got to see Wash in his element. Now I know to be terrified whenever he feels confident-that man knows no fear. No wonder he's such a fine fit for Kennex.

Journal Days are also sauna days for me, Trevor, and some of the others with us here. I look forward to today's with eagerness; it will be our last before we take the early voyage to Glacial Grove. The Crown's call hastens our preparations there over connection-making here.
I doubt this evening will hold its usual relaxation, and even if it did I would easily trade that for the sharpening of my thoughts. Something tells me that this particular passing through the grove will be especially hard on all of us.

I have come to grinding halt with my research and cannot find anything further. Whilst the scholars of the Great Archive have been so terribly helpful, even they are admitting defeat. Perhaps it's time to tackle this from a different angle. It's frustrating as I feel so close, yet remain so far.
Please note that the scholars may take some time preparing your journal for others to read.
