Relationship Note on Talwyn
I miss my husband so much. We have been married such a short time and already duty took me to Saikland for a period of time... and then to help Ladies Kaia and Zoey with a family problem. I... was injured during that but.. have healed enough to return home now. No scars or lingering problems other than a reluctance to sing for a goodly while.

Bandits were to our west, between Saikland Greens and the late Count Guilio's lands. They were preying on the trails and roads between us on merchants and on some of our vassals and had to be stopped. The area they infested was thickly forested with streams and game trails. The area they inhabited was a circular wooden palisade surrounding an ancient watchtower. Once things have settled, perhas that tower may warrent exploration. There should be signs of some community or buildings or another tower within its line of sight in the distance or signs of for whom they were protectively keeping watch. Most of the bandits were largely poor and hungry and forced into their actions to survive, likely can be taught and eased into our population as productive vassals if they have food and work. And we can watch them for a return to their old ways. Closely watch. The land can be very productive ... and may be a good addition to Saikland Greens.

Relationship Note on Medeia
I just got the loveliest letter from Medeia. Such insight and compassion showed. She makes me proud of her and I know her brother Estaban would be beaming ear to ear about her.

Times like this the burden of leadership is a heavy one. Trhing to decide which of conflicting advice to follow, calculating expenses and estimated loss of lives... feeling sick inside at knowing one is sending good men into a situation where several may die is difficult. Necessary but difficult. It reminds me of what Prince Talen used to say at Setarco about knowing he had to send men to their deaths.

A writing contest sounds like fun but lately the only writing I seem to be able to accomplish is business or Barony related.

Relationship Note on Medeia
It is good to see Medeia so happy but she is missed around the tower. The twins are always asking when she will visit.

A nest of bandits along the spur of the Great Road. Why am I not surprised? Now we have to deal with them.

Joslyn is missing? My small weapons instructor who used to have such exhibitions of skill at the Sip and Spar arena, gone? It seems my list of friends keeps growing shorter and shorter.

Winter...again... sigh. I could write all about it or just copy journal entries of the past few years about the cold and snow and ice. Or just say if one is really interested, they can browse through old whites and see mantions of the season.

Relationship Note on Sina
Another friend lost. Some losses ache too much to write about, and this is one of them.

Too much cake, too much excitement for the kids. It took Talwyn, me, my assistant and a few guards to keep them from too much mischief.

The new wine from Saikland was perfect for the party, not too dry, not too sweet, nicely flavorful.

Relationship Note on Antonio
Man of mystery who keeps to himself in order to make more difficult a challenge to try to discern just what wines might be those he prefers. Maybe one day I'll figure it out. Certainly nothing too sweet.

All those questions. Some beliefs I hold to firmly, and keep close, they are personal. Some concepst may vary according to what events are pressing upon one, shifting perspective, erroding memories of the past or have arrived freshly in one's attention. Rather than waver or prevaricate, I'll keep such answers to some questions to myself.

Luis's children are going to be worse than my own for twisting Aunts and Uncles around little fingers and getting sweets.

The Grimhalls and I were studied with great care by four Eurusi whose plans we thwarted not long ago. I keep remembering their expressions and the sharp focus of their attention on us... and it seemed to hold a threat for later. It is to be hoped those will not be encountered again.

I spend time in the Shrine of the Sentinel, an apology in my prayers that I my efforts failed and a resolve to not give up, to keep trying to make a positive difference.

Groan. I sampled too many libations from Saikland before deciding which to enter into that... contest. Note to self.... acquire more of that headache remedy from the Redrain Gardens.

It is hard to believe my twins... at age 6. The years just seem to fly by faster and faster. Six... they are SIX!
