There's been something of a challenge when attempting to find myself a patron in Arx. I was hoping to find myself under the patronage of someone who was different than myself, someone who could really use my particular brand of je ne sais quois. But this was something of a flop and failed attempt. It is perhaps those who could use my connections and clout are too shy or introverted and are not coming forward to speak with me. Of course this is okay and I do not fault anyone for feeling intimidated. I have been told I have something of a big personality. I am still hopeful though that soon I will find myself a patron from whom I can learn and who can find me useful. Fingers crossed!

I have only come to realize that this was a particularly busy week! I have also realized I enjoy being busy. I met with my cousin Drake's wife, the Countess-Consort of Highhill, Thea Wyrvenheart. She stopped by the estate looking very much with child, which surprised me because that is how long it has been since we last spent time together, unless she is a master of concealment, I had no idea they were expecting their second child. It was a lovely visit and I am very happy to hear they are expending their family. It certainly made me think more about wanting to learn more about the Wyrmguard history.

I finally acquired a small animal retainer. He is the cutest though I find him to be a bit aloof. Sir Philip has been causing something of a stir inside the Estate. We will have to have some special housing made for him.

I also baked. But that is a story best not told here.

Wine with three charming, witty gentlemen, at the Black Fox. It was such a nice way to pass an evening.

I won't be wagering on the length of the next Assembly of Peers, though I will say that seating in the Thrax benches ought be very colorful.

If I die young, take my body to sea
Let the water embrace all that is left of me

If I die young, hold a beautiful wake
And try to forgive me my many mistakes

If I die young, remember me fondly
I'm sorry so much was always beyond me

If I die young, know that I tried
Though I failed at the last and apparently died

If I die young, when my body's grown cold --

Wait

I can't die young, I already got old.

It's been a busy week, scholar. I've been trying to get things prepared and ready before the chaos ensues. Then I sit and wonder if it's enough. I always wonder---is it enough? Have I done enough? Do those thoughts ever leave, or do they always linger? I guess we'll see...

I spent part of my day at the--Bee Lounge--the bee place anyway, talking the day away with friends. It really was a good day. It was a relaxing day. It was a much needed day to be amongst friends.

There's been so much news going on lately. Just so much going on. Which way do you go, where do you pull your attention to? How do you help everyone? I'll figure it out, you watch me!

I was sent a gift box of whisky and a tea. At first I had trouble even making the tea, but with help it was all done properly and things. Then the two were mixed and it didn't taste so bad! Thanks Caspian for trying it with me and Lady Cat for showing me how to even do it. It really wasn't so horrible.

A productive week.

With the nascent hostilities in the Mourning Isles, I fear that a contagion will spread. This contagion will take the form of banditry, supply issues, morale problems, and a general decay of good discipline and order. And then fighting. Small at first.

Then it will grow, like wildfire. That is my fear. I prepare the Hounds. I prepare myself.

The story of how Painbow came to be a Laurent pet is astonishing. I would share, but no one would believe me.

Weapons are meant to destroy I don't know why I keep thinking sometimes they might be used to mend. It's a painful lesson, one would think I wouldn't need constant reminding.

Relationship Note on Xia

Functionary Xia has kindly accepted my offer of patronage and I am honoured to begin this adventure. It's always exciting to get to know someone better, I find it both invigorating and inspiring, and I am grateful my journey has led me down this path. I look forward to new and enriching experiences, as a result.

ELora seems agreeable to the idea of owning a longship, although she was not quite sure what these vessels are capable of. When I explained coastal and river waters are the usual routes used, though, she did agree these are where our individual foci intersect. We can use the ship to go north, for instance, or to visit other coastal cities in pursuit of our goals while still allowing some income for the family. In addition, we can use it to transport household troops if such becomes necessary.

I think my assistant must be drinking on the job. Why else would they think that salves needed to be secret?

Sometimes you think you managed to touch someone's soul and yet you learn you only scratched the surface.
It is disappointing and exciting all at the same time.

Relationship Note on Desiree

There's been chattering of cooking Captain Waddles. While I might threaten the little bastard to be cooked when he wanders off with a precious message, let it be known that he does hold the rank of Captain. Threatening - He probably deserved it.

Don't get me started on what would happen if someone were to actually attempt to cook him.

It's a lovely sight when not only your cousin shows up with their bells singing out towards the world, then those who you've gifted bells to also all find themselves gathered in a space for casual conversation about a lovely flower. A feeling of being at home, surrounded by the bells when far from the expanse and Riva. It filled my heart.
