I had the distinct pleasure...displeasure? By the stars, this man was absolutely confounding. How can one man be so positively bubbly? BUBBLY! I was two seconds from taking my slipper off to throw at him. Do slippers hurt? Probably not, and odds are I would have missed him. Luckily Mabelle arrived and saved the day talking about my literal hay ride. But as it were, I suppose he's not entirely awful, but I can't say the thought of him trying to make me into a social butterfly makes me cringe.

Mabelle
My first day back and Belle found me, she really does know how to bring out the mischief. It's so nice to just be around people that I had honestly neglected by holing myself away. Maybe it's time to slowly branch out now and again. Get out and see more than just four walls. Though she'd probably throw me to the wolves.

It was so nice to reconnect with Patrizio. To hear laughter, and might I admit I laughed. For the first time in who knows how long, I suppose we really do need to have a drinking game. i am curious who can hold the rum better. I will probably claim I win even if I lose.

It's been a long time since I've been able to just sit and talk with someone. It was---dare I say nice?

I have come up with a tale on where my missing chests and trunks have gone off. Each time I speak of it, the tale grows larger. In reality, the story is rather boring and not worth speaking of at all. At least now when everything is replaced I shall have exciting things to share with the tailors and carpenters.

I have returned to Arx after what seems like a lifetime away. So many things have changed, and yet many things have stayed the same and for that I am grateful. I had the pleasure of meeting many people since my return, and have been asking each the same question. What is your favorite place in the capital? What would you suggest someone new to the city see or do? Each place means something different to those who suggest it, and it is fascinating to hear why a place is special to them. I have many places on my list to visit, though I will always accept more.

Someone told me that the fact that I woke up today was a feat in itself. Never mind this weird rash... Did someone set me on fire?

How long as it been since I penned in this journal? Too long. Life marches forward, ever faster. The tribulations of our world carry on. War and despair are everywhere, tragic and unjust. It is during these times, when we are discordant and facing such odds, that we must stand ever firmer to our goals, our morals - we must stand up for what is right and decent.
I walk around the streets, and I see good people. People who care. People who want to help. Never lose that drive, and follow through, like an arrow let loose to the mark. Hit it, and hold fast, no matter the costs.

Sometimes paths shift into one you didn't realize were needed. You do what's best for the other. And it's ok. Relationships change but the friendship is still there. Growth--it's an amazing thing.

I've spent significant time and effort making Nilanza's forces the best they could be but never, until now, have I really had an opportunity to see the fruit of that labour. I'm pleased. They served with every bit of courage and skill that I could have hoped.

I have been remiss writing my journals lately. I suppose I should fix that. I just feel like I've nothing to say. With all that is going on, it leaves me somewhat speechless. I shall however try.
I did have some interesting conversations this week, enjoying my usual trip to the hall of Heroes. It made me sad a little, and reflective, as it seems a good friend may one day be memorialized there.
And thus, back I go again to speechless.

Scholar. I find myself with an over flowing garden. Many flowers have been planted over the years and I've been so good and watchful for each to keep them growing. They will find their end and I dry out their seeds to let them be planted and allow their children per say find the sun and warmth of a dance under the breeze with bells singing around them another season.
It's in these moments that we realize there's so much in this world that is of a beauty that we might never get to fully see and enjoy. We need to hold onto these moments, share them with who we can in that moment. They will never be repeated. No matter how much we seek to find them again, they won't be the same as they were.
Don't take it for granted that you woke up today. Grab everything to pull yourself out of the silks from under sail and go find someone to share a dance with. Give them a flower and don't worry about what it might mean or says about your feelings towards them. Sometimes a flower is simply a means to share beauty with another. To show them that you're thinking about them, and wish that they could be there for a dance or slip under sail.

Talwyn's Song - April 1018
Oh, sweet Tally, how I miss you, dear
Yet only in my dreams do you appear.
I watch the seas for you every day
Wondering how long you'd stay away
When your duty draws you to Saikland.
To watch o'r our children I understand.
But my Tally, with your musical gift,
Those songs you play our spirits lift.
And here is where you are needed now
Bring the children, make a way somehow.
Sweet handsome Tally, you have to know
Without you at my side, my burdens grow.
Our music, so beautiful, true and pure
Is needed in Arx, its people to assure.
Come home and share your joy and dreams
Being apart is far harder than it seems.
On the gentle wind this song I release
Hoping soon this loneliness will cease.

I think that love is about choice. The choice of time, the choice of effort, the choice of working on love - getting out what you put into it.
So is the duty of family, now that I wrote that down --
Is everything a choice --
Likely so.
