I like it when people help each other understand better instead of squabbling. It's a good look.

Cookies.

The bakery must have cookies. Of the chocolate variety.

I believe that sometimes having too many voices in one room tends to drown out the good ideas and we're left with the loudest ones, but that meeting was more productive than I hoped for. And I have confidence in the path laid before us.

Embarking on a dangerous expedition up North tomorrow.

If anyone needs me before they go, let me know! I won't be reachable for awhile.

Please do not jump into the freezing water.

I hurt.

Next time I'll yield -before- I start to bleed profusely.

I was the first one unhorsed in the joust, which was a little off-putting, but I hope to fare better in the upcoming Melee. It'll be huge!

One of Dash's brothers has found a great home, but there are still three puppies chewing on things in my manor. They only behave when Aiden is around!

Relationship Note on Laric

Common sense is better than a sword, it's true.

But it helps to have both!

(You'd know if the couch is not of my making, of course. Alas it is not.)

IRON PENTATHLON 1006 AR

Iron Cup Winner: House Grayson

5000 Metre Race:
Gold = Duke Cristoph Laurent
Silver = Princess Reese Grayson
Bronze = Princess Marian Redrain

400 Metre Swim:
Gold = Princess Reese Grayson
Silver = Dame Esoka Greenblood
Bronze = Dame Alexis Wyrmfang

Horse Show Jumping:
Gold = Master Tristan
Silver = Lady Jael Laurent
Bronze = Prince Aiden Grayson

Archery:
Gold = Prince Fiachra Valardin
Silver = Mistress Shard
Bronze = Lord Estaban Saik

Duel Tournament:
Gold = Prince Luca Grayson
Silver = Dame Alexis Wyrmfang
Bronze = Princess Reese Grayson

Princess Reese accumulated the most medals out of any participant -- one of each -- while Dame Alexis Wyrmfang had the second most (Silver and Bronze).

House Valardin contributed the most resources to the Iron Guard and filled their roster completely! Their ability to rally together and contribute to a cause is very admirable.

Thank you, everyone. It was a pleasure to run and I will likely do it again.

The wedding was marvelous. I'm surprised the spiders didn't trigger a stampede of panic out of the Cathedral, though -- I've seen full grown men panic at the sight of the tiniest among them!

I danced with Aiden. He's much better at it than I am, even when he's drunk.

The medals and the Iron Cup for tomorrow's ceremony have been completed and now I have to determine how much I want to spoil our guests...

Relationship Note on Fergus

In my first Melee, Prince Fergus was my first opponent. And my only opponent.

I spent all of it trying to get past that damned armor of his and not doing a damn thing. It felt like it lasted a few hours, just trading blows and neither of us really harming one another and getting REALLY tired trying to do so, until I eventually tired out and he pummeled me into a pulp. Then Princess Alis beat him because I tired him out while he was chasing after me. Good times!

It's important to remember that just about every great fighter has had their share of tough losses and wounded pride -- you pick yourself up and keep at it. Unless you're Prince Luca, apparently. I hate that guy.

(Not really.)

You give me too much credit, love. I can be very selfish and stingy! I'm just good at hiding it sometimes.

But I do like making people happy, particularly those I care about. And sometimes even complete strangers. I believe if you make someone's day, they will remember and pay it forward in the future. Sometimes ten fold! They remember when you were there for them.

Also... Audric might not be saving kitten orphanages, but he's not nearly as bad as he pretends!

Congratulations to all of you! It was a close race.

The swimming competition is next. It will be done in the sea, so be prepared to bathe thoroughly afterwards!

All of the events within the Iron Pentathlon now have enough competitors for me to go forward.

The Crownsworn, House Grayson, and House Valardin all have good representation -- an interesting contrast to the Decathlon a few years back. I wonder what has changed.

Looks like we may have a shav cult roving the Gray Forest with monstrous wolves at their command.

I think I would have preferred hostile squirrels.

Relationship Note on Reese

She can now defeat me. Quite soundly!

I must eat more spinach and do more push-ups.
