It is almost Kael's birthday and the plans have begun to come together. His gift is... extravagant, but it will so be worth it. I am extremely honored to be working with *Scratched out words*. Ooops, that would have given it all away. As it is, there have been so many changes going on in the house hold. I think an official announcement is coming, but... there is someone new to Keaton Hall. Squall has not yet, arrived, let me head that rumor off at the pass, but there is a babe, a foundling, that we have taken in. With permission from Princess Katarina, we have decided to name her Kata. Not all decisions have yet been made, but she will be staying with us, raised here in Keaton Hall. We have found a lovely woman to be her nurse, and she has a young son. To go from having no children to soon having three infants... I can only imagine the chaos we have invited. But I cannot help but feel that the gods placed this child in my path.

Relationship Note on Shae

Signing lessons, dear cousin of mine? Dare I ask why?

In other news, I am incredibly proud of you. I do not believe we would have fared as we did, had you not been aiding the archers on the field that day.

There's little as satisfying as being underestimated or unaccounted for, and making your enemy pay for it in blood. Run back to your master, and tell him that the white dragon stands strong. Let him feel your fear.

Tonight's party seemed to go well. It was nice to be able to do it again; it feels like a lifetime ago, the last time I had a party here.

I've made a few more mistakes in these last few days, but I think I've gotten a handle on it. The inspiration of Jayus is a difficult one to overcome. I just hope that I can continue to make a better impression on people in the coming days, I've been busy. I hope to continue to be busy in the months and years to come, and I'm also always seeking out new art subjects for any that are willing to be subjected to the demands of an artist.

I almost pity some of these fucking people with their huge ass family trees. Important names. Got a buncha people with their name they barely know, even don't care for, but they gotta act like it.

Throw in some lands. Castles. Titles. All that shit. Just more trash to struggle over. Heavier shackles if you ask me. I wasn't born with much but I got no attachments. That itself is fucking something.

See, I'm free. A bunch of you people never will be.

Relationship Note on Antonio

My cousin has worked extensively in securing information for one of the initiatives across the sea. He does House Velenosa proud when he's focused on naval efforts.

Normally I like the dark just fine. My skin burns way too fucking easy.

But THAT day just made me wanna sleep through it. So I did.

Can't hustle proper when everybody's all mopey anyway.

Relationship Note on Neve

Met Lady Neve today. She seems a unique and eager soul. Joyful, and earnest.

<enclosed with the entry is a Graphite sketch>

*Drawn in graphite on sketch paper, the sketch shows a woman with wide and eager eyes, joyful and exuberant as her lips quirk in a soft smile. The blonde hair frames her face as it dances wildly around her shoulders, a single strand of black seemingly mingling with the blonde. She rests her chin upon her fingers, supporting herself on the back of her hand, and through that joyful expression is just a hint of mischief and zeal.*

I am glad that we did not lose anyone during our mission earlier this week, though some were very wounded. Which I am sad to hear about but still happy that they will recover and be better soon, if not already. And also so proud of my family, friends, and those part of Valardin. Dame Ida and Sir Daemon, were so brave in their actions.

I walk around Arx and often wonder, how many homeless are there? How many children without families left to be orphans?

Ill thoughts and ill waters.

Never do tides come without sapping away the strength of the beach.

With every wave something is lost.

There is something within the black shores, of that I'm certain.

But I'm not sure what the Baron aimed to do.

Maybe what I thought was confidence born of hope is actually cockiness and pride.

I should be more mindful of remembering what I have seen in the past. Burying the fear isn't going to make the things I'm afraid of go away.

There are mountains to climb and I am but a grain of sand pushed around by the winds.

Relationship Note on Hana

I am pleased to now recognise Hana Grayhope, a smithing wunderkind, as my protege. House Velenosa and I stand behind the woman, her craft, and her other endeavours.

I've been bitten twice today. The contexts were very different. Velenosan princesses are rabid.

Relationship Note on Orazio

How pleasant it is to pass an evening in the Legate's company. The only thing I've to complain about is that it happens far too infrequently for my tastes.

To think that one of the richest friendships of my life has resulted from a simple dance.

Relationship Note on Monique

No, Lady Monique, you may not. There are rules against these things.

Nor may you compete in the games for the custom perfume and after-shave that has been made especially for our Soiree and which only the winner will have the right to order additional batches of.

While unnerving, I don't mind the darkness that much. So often we sleep or work through it and perhaps it doesn't get appreciated as much as it could. Noting, of course, that I often feel like someone on the outside of things, so this may just be another example of as much. Or naivety, maybe? Whatever.
