Today has been a busy day, taking care of all the paperwork that piles up. But now that it is finished, I am going to enjoy a nice glass of wine by the fire, and ponder if I can come up with a poem.

I don't know why I think I might want to try my hand at writing a poem, but for some reason I do.

I spent some time with Quintin, having a good discussion about research and the Hall of Heroes. I shall be quite interested to hear what he has to say after he visits the place.

In other news, I think I would like to have a child's party with Ryhalt and Clover, so that our children can get to know each other better. I wonder if we can manage that without too much fuss.

well, perhaps not, but I'm sure we can manage it.

I was so late for the Grayson Ball that I ended up arriving at the after party. Which was a nice thing. I got to catch up a bit with some people I'd not spoken to in quite some time. I missed the crush of the actual party but got to hear Lou tell stories. She's very good at story telling.

Today's tea is a black tea, with peppermint and hints of vanilla and honey. I believe I may have been drinking a very similar blend when first I met Archscholar Sina.

And now, perhaps I shall spend some time reflecting on life, love, liberty and next steps.

How best can we continue to remember and honour those whom we have lost?

Relationship Note on Ryhalt

I noticed your journal post, my brother.

It seems I have reason to be relieved you are home and well. And that you may have some stories to tell.

We should have dinner soon.

Today's tea is a gentle jasmine flavour, from Weijin, I believe. It's a very subtle blend, flavourful and aromatic without being overwhelming.

I had tea with Marquessa Lianne Malespero the other day. We had some business to discuss and she provided me with a sample of one of her favourite teas. It was quite delicious, I am happy to report.

Alas, I did not get the name of the tea, so I might have difficulty getting more of it.

I had an unexpected breakfast with Princess Sabella yesterday. Or at least we had coffee together at Bold Espressions. It was good to have some company in the morning, and I quite enjoyed it.

In other news, today's tea is a white tea with berries, apples and spice. Delicious.

Today's tea was an elderberry tea, with spices, honey and fruit and a hint of nuts. Very tasty and it goes well with ginger cake.

Who am I kidding? Everything goes well with ginger cake.

We had a good family and friends dinner this month. It was a lot of fun discussion and good food. The topic of a pet for me came up, and it was suggested that perhaps I ought to have a dog. It's a good thought, I suppose. A dog though. They shed, don't they? And drool?

This bears thought, but I'm not convinced.

Today's tea was a black tea, with a taste of coffee. It was better than I expected, surprisingly tasty. I would not have thought to merge those two drinks together in such a fashion.

I had a good conversation with Lord Mirk today, in the hall of heroes. No conclusions, but it was still a good discussion. I'm glad we had the chance to talk.

It is a time of uncertainty although I know we are all doing everything we can. I hope our activities will have improved our hopes in the impending war. It seems there is no way we can avoid the war, or at least no reasonable way. I suppose this just means we all must continue to work together to improve things, where and how we are able to do so.

The good news is that I do enjoy a challenge at times. The bad news is that this is a huge challenge.

Today's tea was a lovely ginger one, with honeyed fruit. Delicate, delicious and nicely piping hot on a cool autumn evening. It was made more delicious by virtue of drinking it in good company. Marquis Fairen stopped by to discuss a few things of interest, including research projects, children, and fashion.

I do appreciate the interesting games that different cultures play. I might be terrible at the game, but that doesn't mean I can't learn to be better.

Well.

I can certainly try.

I have to say it was lovely to visit a bit with some of my friends from Valardin, folks I really must make an effort to spend more time with. Oathlands hospitality stands strong.

Just please don't ask me about any wheelbarrows.

Today's tea is a black tea, with chocolate and a hint of spice. It's delicious, with a wonderful lingering taste that reminds me of both the heat of summer, and the warmth of a hot drink on a cold winter evening.

Today's tea is a green tea, redolent with ginger and peppermint. You might think those things don't go well together, but they do.

No, I'm not with child, but I would heartily recommend this tea to anyone who is suffering morning sickness.

I wish I'd had it when I was.

Today's tea is coffee. From Westrock Reach. It is delicious, though admittedly not tea at all.

But it comes with ginger cake, and that is always a good thing if you ask me.

I did go out to the Badger Boardinghouse with Harlan. We met up with Sunaia and princess Sabella for some adult conversation and cider. It was a nice diversion from all the goings on about war, missing livestock and so on.

It's good to keep up with such things where we can.

Today's tea was a black tea, with lovely aromatic cocoa and nuts to delight the senses. I think maybe my brother sent this one to me, though I am not certain.

In other news Lady Emilie did not sleep well. Which means that I did not sleep well. Thankfully, her brothers slept, and so too did her father. She and I had some very good conversations about life, Arx, family and sleeping at night. I don't think it helped much.
