"Consider this," she said, "That you keep building grander and grander works, pouring yourself into your art, pouring yourself in as if you would prefer there was nothing left of you and everything of you resided in your work."

"I would not be upset by that," I said.

"Then I will mourn for you," she replied.

What a strange dream.

After a period of meditation and prayer, I have come to the realization that my decision to study one thing was an indulgence. The call the gods have placed on my life is absolute, and I owe them the fullness of my dedication. Instead, I will deepen my study of the tenents of our Faith, renewing my spirit through the truths of the lessons. May the gods grant me insight and wisdom.

Traits, like actions, speak louder than words
You are or you aren't, those are the terms
Can't get a lover by saying you're pretty
Can't get a laugh by claiming you're witty
Can't be a threat by hollering 'fear me'
Can't be a trendsetter by saying you should be
If you announce that you're clever or scary or hot --
Then I'm sorry my dear, it appears that you're not.

The naming of the new Mercy hospital caravel is going well. Some of the name suggestions are very amusing! The Arx Chapter of Mercies will have some lively discussion over which one to choose, I am sure.

Relationship Note on Keely

The Cider event was quite the event. The turnout was great! The Cider was amazing. I shall have to order some for the house.

Well done, Princess Keely Grayson! It was in a moment of light in what will soon be a very dark sky.

Relationship Note on Reigna

I have avoided writing in my journals since I was told. I know that you would call me foolish if you heard such a thing, give a fine lesson on why it was my duty, and so on. I can close my eyes and almost hear your voice.

Today I shared the story of how we named our Aeryn and found afterward I was daydreaming of more pleasant times. I remembered your anniversary gift to me, the copy of your black journal entries. Except when I went to read them I could not find them. The panic, Reigna. The panic. It was as though my chest was crushed and I could not breathe.

I tore apart our chambers looking and thankfully found them hidden in the drawer of my wardrobe, right beneath that tunic you gave me for the White Ball. For a half breath it was as if I lost you again. It was only after my heart stopped being audible in my ears that I realized it was time to write again.

While sharing can be caring,
sometimes we just want something to ourselves.
This doesn't make me bitter, nor jealous,
I suppose just human

I did not know Marquessa-Consort Reigna Keaton half as well as many others, but her presence in my life was such that I will remember her for the guidance and trust she placed in me. She and I ran side-by-side through the city to provide aid at the Queensrest the day Ivanite traitors attacked the city. It is unlikely I would be the physician I am today if not for her.

Which is, sadly, a statement with double meaning. In the wake of her tragic loss, and the elevation of Lady-General Eirene Riven to Guildmaster of the Physicians Guild, I am honored to be named Assistant Guildmaster. I look forward to ensuring the continued growth and success of the guild. May all we do magnify her in memory.

Can naval tactics influence land warfare? Is the reverse true? Training the next generation of Compact military officers is an important duty, and one that we will perform at the Academy of War. While it is wisdom to say that there is nothing new under the sun, things evolve. We must evolve with them. We must instill the ability for officers to question the status quo, if they are to evolve.

As the seasons begin to change and the trees begin to turn and fall into a crunchy carpet, I'm filled with a certain familiar longing that comes with the cold weather.

I'm not sure what it's name is, but I know it's made with my signature Hedonism whiskey, cranberries, ginger, apple butter, and further sweetened with honey or sticky brown sugar... served hot, of course. It makes the chill days pass faster.

I already await the spring thaw with bated breath.

So it seems announcing you associate people with food makes them send you food.

I should thank Lord Savio for the Pineapple he is.

Now if only someone covered the position of reminding me of chocolate..

A great service has been done for the lackwits of Arvum: no matter how hypocritical, hateful, bigoted, and blind they may be..

At least they're not Anders Nightcove.

He deserves high regard for being such a waste of air and skin that every other screaming moron under the Sky looks better for comparison to that bad idea with a face.

I hope that whichever walrus got so drunk as to fuck a bilge rat and birth Anders Nightcove is still suffering.

This week is shaping up to be a dull one. A great deal of time spent in meetings and not enough time spent with the people whose company I enjoy. Still, it is good to see some projects coming to fruition.

Relationship Note on Eiran

If one wants a glimpse at my beloved cousin, Lord Eiran Laurent's poetic ventures, he is welcome to visit the mansion. He leaves his pages. EVERYWHERE!
Perhaps I should complie them into a book and sell it to the shops!

Lord Yuri makes me think of pasta.
Baron Norwood makes me think of crumpets.
Princess Denica makes me think of apple pies.

I wonder if I'm the only person associating names with food. Maybe I'm just hungry.
