Anyway, Laric's interest in my personal life aside, I have some thoughts to dwell upon. I've been thinking about expanding to a second shopfront for Highway Robbery, something located in the Crown area, possibly. I'm just not sure if this is a good idea or not. On the one hand, it'd make it easier for people that live in the fancier parts of the city to get their Mystery Bags. On the other hand, I kind of secretly enjoy forcing nobility to come down to the slums to shop. It makes things more equal. I need to ponder this one more.
Another investment I'm working on is commissioning another ship. The Magpie is a great boat and there's nothing wrong with it, but if I want to expand I'm going to need another ship. I'm tempted to put together some kind of naming contest like my cousin did, but I have a feeling I won't get the same kind of enthusiasm that she did. Maybe I'll do a raffle where the winner gets one of the first productions of every new figurine Highway Robbery releases for the next year...
I need to find another writer to help me release books at the shop. Bryce Cartilia is on 'sabbatical' or some crap. That man is such a pain in the ass to work with.

Well..it seems that a lot of people read these journals. I would of thought they wouldn't, thinking it's more a place to put your thoughts. But..apparently that is a black journal? So..I found out pretty quickly that other people read these.
So I've found out how it feels to have a relationship end via messenger. And..it does hurt about as much as I expected. I deserve it though. I really do. I've hurt people because I've been a girlish nightmare, and well..it is time to grow up. I've been trying to become a good respectable lady, it's been a long road, and I think I have been making progress. Neve will always be a work in progress. But until she can be whom she strives to be, maybe Neve just isn't meant to be married.
I have to thank Lady Alarissa Thrax. I think she has a fancier title..but...I dont remember it. I'm sorry Alarissa! But she has taken me in and taught an unruly woman-child that is Neve. I am thankful for her tutelage, and freindship because by all means I certainly irk her! She has been tolerant, and even supported me financially when it was needed. House Greenmarch has returned my coin in a lesser amount. However I have to respect that Alarissa has put up with me, so I hope I can find a place in house Thrax and continue to be of use, as she teaches me how to be a proper lady. Back in Greenmarch settlements before the compact things were often discussed by a punch to the face. And while that's not quite the approach I take, it still takes getting used to. It's a world of words as weapons. I'm not very well equipped for it - and I'm afraid I will never live up to be the perfect face of genteel..genty..gantreal..there, that seems close enough. I will never be as fancy as someone like her, or as calm and sly as Monique. Or as sturdy and studious as Marius. That is because I'm a Neve. And this Neve, she is flawed. She has her problems. But if Neve can learn to live in this land of men instead of trees, then Neve will be Alarissa's success story.
Neve can say, or well, write that she has never felt so lonely than in Arx, being surrounded by so many people she is the loneliest she has ever felt in her life. Neve is ill mannered. Resolute to the point of being rude. And she has been selfish - so selfish. She has alienated family. Freinds. Lovers and loved ones. And Neve hurts. Neve has been selfish and consumed by her own wants, desires, and needs and really didn't consider anyone else's. And Neve regrets that. Neve cannot change the fact she was stupid in the past. But she tries to face the next day being a little wiser, learning from her mistakes. If she learns a little each day, and applied those lessons..maybe Neve can become a good person. Neve hopes that is how that works.
And apparently a sword has many meanings. And melons. One has to be careful what they say these days, one word should not have so many different meanings. Live in Arx is very difficult.
So this is Neve Greenmarch. Feeling very blue. Feeling sad. Feeling of hurt inside, and feeling of change. Maybe tomorrow will be a better day. I hope so. Because I like to smile, and it feels like the smiles these days are becoming harder and harder to find.

While I am /very/ familiar with his family's expression (the inappropriate one) these are all excellent alternatives. The one about stabbing is particularly apt.

Relationship Note on Gailin
He is looking for a wife to join him on his new adventure of running a country. I will have to keep an eye out for any girls who like big swords. I wonder if he will keep the ribbon on it that I tied. Personally, that was a really big sword, when he pulled it out I shrieked and told him to put it away. That being said..seems nice. I hope he finds a nice wife, and has lots of children so I can tie ribbons into their hair!

As a certified victor in dance, and in acting command, I can only imagine what other challenges can be conquered by that Resting Annoyance Expression when you put your mind to it. Hence I say, show it to the world! Do not let my fear dissuade you!

I could keep my nose out of this delightfully silly correspondence without adding my two silvers but I find it's more fun to meddle, my dears.
