How do you know when the thing that makes your heart beat faster, your senses sharpen, your mind dream, is something to follow or avoid?

The battles I've fought are starting to take a physical toll. Lost use of one arm and now I'm easily winded. I don't know how I'm to fight for Arvum if I can't fight.

I was so very delighted to be among those present to witness and celebrate the marriage of Scout Rowenova and Missere Tarik of Morien.

Truly, there has never been two so beautifully matched. May the gods and spirits bless you both and offer you an eternity of joyous and golden years together full of love, luck and delights yet to come.

I adore to seeing your happiness.

I attended the Kennex pool party and per usual...I wasn't disappointed.

The other day, I rode out to the edge of the forest, because I wanted to see the sunset from a different vantage point. Sunshine was perfect, as she always is, she goes so fast. I felt lazy though, it was a hot day and the breeze smelt like heat and I ate too much candy on the way.

We happened on a small trail, that I don't recall seeing on past adventures. The path was just the right size for both of us. I didn't want to go. I was happy to keep to my plans, but my horse had better ideas. She nudged a couple times and I gave in, I always do. I didn't know what I would find, but I trusted her instincts. My legs got all scratched because I cannot make sense of trousers and sun had already started to dip, but once you've gone so far? You've got to see what happens at the end.

I had a good laugh, when we came to an apple tree. Sunshine knows what she wants, and when you do? You find it.

Life is beautiful, even when the surface cracks.

Lots more sleeping, and so very hungry for fruit.
What a great feeling this is.

It is always good to see a friend making more friends. Friendship is a wonder and a joy, and one of the things that the Traitor would strip from us. If we have no individuality, then we can have no friends, for there are none to stand apart from others and there is no us to find them.

It's always good to see a friend. Hopefully he found something to think about in what I said to him, Scholar. Hopefully.

You throw words at people in the hope that they're helpful, that they're wise and useful. But for all you know, you're just talking bollocks. There's probably something to be said about bollocks and talking and how they can be fun, here, but it's beyond me to know what it is. I've never claimed to be educated.

I managed to stock the shop a bit. Nothing fancy, mind you. Some sets of basic armor, a few daggers (I did not message the Archduke as he has these styles already - I really need to come up with something to surprise him), and some cupridium hairpins. Old designs, with a bit of tweaking to make them just a little different. I feel like I have been half-here in the city, these last few seasons, but plan to change that soon. A life half-lived is hardly a life at all, right?

Its very hard to know all the colors of one's soul.
I think about it often lately.
I'm not certain I know my own.

Relationship Note on Ian

Yeah, you've gone beyond what I taught you and developed your skills to do the family (and me) proud, but that doesn't mean I'm still not going to worry over you little brother. Still, you've done very well and I am proud of who you've become.

The roses are blooming. They have consumed almost all of my time and energy and thoughts, but they bloom and they are beautiful. I am not sure if I will ever have children, but I would imagine this feeling to be similar. The pleasure that comes from putting so much hard work into a something so fragile and then seeing it thrive. I'm still trying to find a rhythm here again. The roses helped with being able to put off seeing family and friends and getting back into the swing of my life in Arx. Luckily, I have curated the people in my life to be the sorts that understand and accept that I might lose myself for a month in babying roses into bloom.

Now that they are safely in the ground and filling my garden with color and scent, there are other matters to consider. Perhaps, I will play at the markets a little. I also brought a mystery back with me from Tor and am still working out the particulars of it. It itches against the inside of my skull and demands answers, but I am being very patient. I should probably go to Tanith and Raymesin's house for dinner sometime now that I'm not constantly reeking of manure and likely to ruin anyone's meal. My life is small and common, but it is beautiful and it belongs to me.

I know not whether it is kinder to hope that folk and ships vanish for common thievery and murder, than it is to hope some Ivanite lackwits are stirring up bloodshed.

In the former, it's death and doom we have grown used to and think of as normal. In the latter, the storm may finally break, which would feel a relief, though it mean the doom of many.

It is official - I am terrible at firing a toy catapult.

On the other hand, it was a very fun event, and I do hope Carnifex Preston appreciated his birthday party. Dominus Aureth as usual put on quite a gathering. I don't think I've ever seen quite so many custard tarts in one place before.

They were very delicious. The children thoroughly enjoyed the outing, and we all survived. An excellent day!

Relationship Note on Preston

It's nice to see him smile, to see a hint of the rambunctious youth he must have been before I knew him. He's still young for all the weight of responsibility on him, for all the bright force majeure that he is, and for a child whose family has only been the Faith, I thought it would be good to share the beneficence with all the children whose family is only the Faith.

Happy birthday, Preston. Blessed are you in virtue and light.

Relationship Note on Liara

It seems I've unintentionally become the beneficiary of a few accolades intended for her Grace. If you're going to have your identity mistaken, it's always nice to be confused with somebody you can so admire.
