I must admit that I was surprised at just how much I thoroughly enjoyed my brother Martino's rooftop party. It was refreshing not having to concern myself with training or anything similar and just have some time to relax with fine food, company and wine.

That being said I did end up finding a fellow naval commander and talking about our share profession for a while. Baron Edward impressed me considerably.

I notice that there seems to be a lot of discussions about birds.

My thoughts. Mankind are envious of birds because of their ability to fly. Who doesn't imagine what it would be like to sour above the sea and land like they do. The Malvici respect them so much that all the birds of Prey have place in our hearts. My first command was the galley Osprey and then was joined by Shrike and Harrier forming my Raptor Squadron. I may not be able to fly, but I can sail the waves on those ships.

My daughter Palania met my mother Palania. I was not able to get a word in edgeways for the next couple of hours.

I think my brother's status as favoured of mother is now threatened by a little girl.

To all those that have wished myself, Aahana and Palania well, I thank you sincerely.

I must confess that I have found that of all my titles that I have had over the years, Lord, Captain, Commodore, Voice, Admiral, Husband, none of them quite seem as meaningful as Father. Well... apart from Husband but I understand now that this is a completely different type of love that cannot be explained but just IS.

She's got a strong grip already on my finger. She's going to be a fighter this one.

Soon it will be time for me to return to Southport for a time. More training in the City of Swords and more importantly I will see my wife and hopefully welcome my firstborn into the world.

The prospect of becoming a father has me more nervous than I have been in... quite some time.

Advice would be appreciated on what to do about this.

When someone I love is poorly then I watch over them when they sleep.
I prefer them not knowing I am there. I don't know why that is. Perhaps it is a character flaw on my behalf.

Relationship Note on Cahal

It's always good to see someone try and improve themselves martially. I'm willing to give whatever aid is wanted in this pursuit.

It's commendable that there was so many who assisted in the recent incident with the caraval crashing into the dock. I am concerned though at the ease that it managed to do so. Surely there should be greater protections in place to defend Arx from the sea?
Maybe I'll draft some plans.

I only have experienced a fraction of what you must and I feel your pain Ishmael.

Relationship Note on Fairen

I fail to see how looking forward to facing a formidable opponent for a challenging Game of Stones makes me an unpleasant person.

Relationship Note on Corbit

Lord Corbit plays a cunning game. I'll have to bear that in mind next time I face him.

Last night I dreamt of the sea calling to me.
Perhaps I've been away from it for too long.

Relationship Note on Danae

I wholeheartedly concur with my brother's words concerning Sergeant Danae Russo.
She has gone above and beyond the call of duty with her work for House Malvici.

Most spars I have noticed in the city are one versus one. How often does that happen in open combat?
So with that in mind I am setting myself the task of practicing two on two or more. Uneven numbers as well, training with the guards of nobles and knights. Hopefully this will help improve everyone involved.

I was musing to myself the other day and wondered am I a good man?

Is it subjective or is there something intristic that makes a person good?

I feel I do not have the wisdom for this.

Relationship Note on Aahana

I never would have thought it possible to miss the presence of someone the way that I miss my wife, all the way down in Southport, and my unborn child inside of her.

My sister nearly beat me in training. I'm proud of her. Immensely.

Relationship Note on Reese

Since my arrival in the City what seems like an age ago there has been someone who has consistantly been there to help me improve.
Princess Reese is a natural tutor and has been a good friend, whether it has been brushing up on my swordplay or debating the finer points of leading troops into battle. Her library is also one of the most impressive I've encountered and I could easily lose a lot of hours reading the books found there.
To have accomplished so much so young speaks volumes of her capabilities.

Whether in politics, warfare or just day to day life remember this.

There is always a bigger fish.

Relationship Note on Luca

I did not know the Prince and the circumstances of his death are odd to say the least but it is clear the man made a lasting impact on so many and is remembered well.
One can only hope to be as well remembered as him.
