Upon my return to Arx, the first thing I did was sleep for roughly half a day. This was followed by an exceedingly long bath, during which time I elected to enjoy a fine cup of tea and catch up on those journals from the Archives that I may have missed while outside the city's walls.

I believe there are a few gentleman who owe my maid an apology for alarming her. The sounds of choking and splashing made her rush into the room, under the impression that I was somehow drowning in my own tub. The poor woman was far less amused than I was.

Good food, good company, amusing conversations, and stories ranging from adventurous, exciting, to humorous or dangerous. Service was impeccable. My cousin will regret having missed this gathering.

We head out to Maelstrom shortly

Myself, a pink ship, another ship and part of the grayson army.

Coming with me is Prince Luca, Lord Killian, Master Sparte, Lady Arianna, Lord Graham, Lady Clara, Master Faelan and Mistress Eilowny

I am glad to have them at my side and most so shortly after our mission. I am exhausting friend to have.

They are all very brave. Master Faelan will help us sail. I am grateful for him joining us sea challenged Graysons. Mistress Eilowny will help keep us alive. We desperately need that kind of help. Lady Clara is trained fighting and healing both.

Prince Luca, Lord Killian, Master Sparte, Lady Arianna and Lord Graham are some of the best warriors in the land. I am honored to have them along.

I go with the blessings of Princess Lark, Princess Cara and Prince Calarian. They have ever desire to stand with the Thrax and help save innocent lives. I also go with funding from my family and with their prayers.

Duke Harald has been helping to train me for this endeavor.

We will follow the way of the faith and the way of Gloria while on this mission. Innocents will not be killed, but protected.

Marquis Rymarr has agreed to help manage things on the home front. I am grateful for his presence.

Princess Reese, General of the Grayson Army.

I am grateful for the crafters doing last minute orders for our trip to Maelstrom.

Mistress Mirari crafted an amazing Axe for Master Faelan who is helping to sail our ships and Mistress Alarie is working on leather armor for him.

Master Magpie is helping to rush decorate my ship in pink. He is making shag rugs, sails with pink ribbons, a pink hammock and a pink gryphon war banner.

I must sail in rosy style.

Princess Reese

It's been decided Semiramis is too big for beds and is not a dog as much as she's good with fetch and walks. That being said, I have decided a large, fluffy dog would be a suitable replacement for my horse being too large for evening cuddles in bed. It gives me comfort to consider a fluffy puppy with everything going on.

May your hopes find safe harbors.

Back to the city just in time to plan an orange and vanilla cake in the shape of a dog -- somehow -- for Tiber's third birthday tomorrow. Thank the gods for the Grayson kitchens, because I have no idea how else to provide "dog cake".

Sadly Ainsley will have to miss it because he is yet to return from Bastion, but I've assured him repeatedly by letter that there will be other birthdays for his ward. I mean, like as not at some point during the day there will be a meltdown anyways, and will it really bother him so much to miss a handful of cake to the face?

Dulcimers are more fragile than they look, dulcimers break. If you ever want to clear a crowd out of a room, just play one with a cracked soundboard and a warped bridge. Luckily that did not happen today although I almost dropped mine while getting it measured for a padded carryall, thanks to Sir Daemon's quick action in securing it. Also shopping were Lady Vesper Nighthawk, a sword of Brassfall March, but she did not have a sword yet, and a big, very, very tall man, Agnarr. You have to back up to talk to him or get a crick in the neck from looking up so much. Am not sure what to think of that one after he made some comment about at least not being born Lycene (at least I think that is what he said)...and well, Igniseri's are of Velenosa fealty and I live in the Lyceum district.

All? I beg your pardon, no one will be plucking my tail feathers. They look far too wonderful when being shaken.

Perhaps.

First we'd simply need to finish plucking off all of your feathers.

Oh, I should ask the chef if it's too late to serve roast fowl tonight...

Relationship Note on Cambria

When do they visit again? Do you have family reunions regularly?

If I'm going to be spending my time in this family, I should get to know every nook and cranny of it.

I have hands and feet. Shins too. I can be a hydra. I bet they'll include me.

I am proud to say that I have a few cousins that are twins. In fact, there are even triplets...

Rich.

Didn't you mention at some point a pair of your cousins being twins? Or triplets or something? When are they going to make an appearance?

As per always, the Inquisition is more than welcome to meet with me and discuss any matters of concern.

Marquis Rymarr seems concerned about Inquisition scrutiny.

Hmmm. Perhaps he has something to hide after all.

The South is hot. The leathers aren't kind to too much body forestry.

That one's for you, Northerners.

I suppose a dragon would suffice, in that it is extremely mythical, surrounded by legend, and I have yet to see it.

One. I have yet to see one, I mean.

House Deepwood's word aren't just some daily reminder to keep calm and...

It was also a foretelling of my arrival someday. They knew I'd be coming.
