I have been accused of inconsistency now and again, but to that, I have just one thing to say: I have always done, at any time, precisely the same thing.
Exactly what I pleased.

Relationship Note on Marian
Princess Marian Valardin, the Sword of Sanctum, and soon to be my cousin-in-law. She has given Fergus a new lease on life, and for this I thank her. I've never seen him so happy, as when he is with her. And for this reason above all, I welcome her into our family with open arms.

Relationship Note on Alaric
He has returned to us a changed man, and yet he is the same man he was when he left. His memories of the past are still there. Things only he would know. Memories. Experiences. They are there in the person of the King who now stands before me, but the man he is now is more mature. He is the King we hoped would be. The one we swore to serve, come to be the best of who he can be. Oh, I am sure he will still make mistakes and he will still be human, and I will expect no more and no less. But he has grown, and these last years of trials have given him a gravitas I only dreamed he would one day achieve. I wish that he had not suffered as he did, but I think he will be a better ruler for it. I have been privileged to serve my King these years. But I have never been prouder of him than I am today.

(The first line is heavily crossed out, leaving the rest of the verse.)
Heave away and with a will,
For th'Mourning we'll steer.
And we'll sing in joyful-thrill -
In the watches of the night
And we'll sight the shores of the Isles,
When the grey dawn brings the light.
Heave away and with a will,
For th'Mourning we'll steer.
And we'll sing in joyful-thrill -
In the watches of the night
And we'll sight the shores of the Isles,
When the grey dawn brings the light.

I have sampled cheese throughout the city. I could recommend some good places to get cheese from to send to them.

Does that mean that elves do not get enough dairy? Should we send cheese to their new embassy?

MIGHT not be the best thing to write in a public journal all fucking things considered but...
Elven bone and human bone are incredibly similar. Elves seem less dense.
This has been your 'What the hell does Eirene do with her spare time' moment.

I find myself taking dinner and drinks more often alone, of late, than with any company at all.
Much of my time has been spent in the duties of my office, and many of those who I once enjoyed respite with have taken duties of their own. But I find myself wondering if there might be anyone who would wish to take in the occasional bit of theatre or rousing discussion of theology, poetry, or other amusing conversation?
I am an aging priest, so the takers may be slim, but it would be nice to have some like-minded companionship, as the days turn cooler again.

I believe I can all I done for now in solving my first issue. I still have a mixture of dread and relief as I wait for more information to be revealed to me. I know I have to dismiss the feelings, and move on to more pressing matters. I have decided to take on a massive undertaking in hopes that my knowledge, skills, and resolve we allow me to succeed in this task. Perhaps, I should have waited to make some people that I knew were allies only time will tell.

I will admit that I was uncertain in my first meeting of the Lady Skye Blackshore. An impolite mistake that I will hope to correct as soon as I am able to.
For now, my sincerest apologies are offered.

As I begin to prepare for my trip abroad to visit my daughter, my sister (aside: Cora. The baker's wife. No, the other baker. Yes - that one. Thank you, I will bring some of those pastries before I leave) positively insisted that I bring along her daughter for the journey. I promised to, in addition to making my niece my new assistant. Maid. Courier.
Alba's not particularly pleased with this turn of events, as she was apprenticing to a smithy prior to all of this. Which she will return to (I said as much) as soon as I've taught her a few social graces. She's made the most delightful faces at me as I fitted her in a gown that I found fitting for her new position. As though she took a big bite from a lemon.
So, so sour.
We're going to get along perfectly.

Things seem to be returning back to normal, at least for the most part. I am satisfied that things are going well in the recovery, but still it seems every step of the way there are those who have been with us this whole time, acting against the interest of the Compact. It makes things difficult, but we will continue on.

Do unto others as you would like done to you. It's a simple concept and perhaps a little naive but I think we would have less cruelty in the world if we lived by that precept. It would make us think more before we act, perhaps try to be more compassionate. Maybe less atrocities would happen if we considered the simple thought, 'Would I like this done to me?' or 'Would I do this to someone I love?'

I have returned to the city. It is good to feel the solid ground underneath my boots again; I'm not much of a sailor, but the sun did give my complexion a nice tan and Aiden likes my stubble.
Alas, I can't evade work for much longer. It is never truly done.

Relationship Note on Gaston
I find myself liking him, he is not like most of the other nobility. I don't feel like I have to constantly look at the ground to make sure I am not tripping over myself. With him I can be mouthy and blunt, and he seems to actually appreciate it. But I should keep him at distance, like most people. And yet, I keep letting him creep a little bit closer. At least he didn't seem to hold my past against me. Then again, I didn't tell him everything...

High Lord Edain is planning a tournament soon, it seems. Unlike my fellow Valardin vassals, I've never really cared for such things. There's always that niggling worry of doubt in the back of my mind. 'What if I lose myself? What if I take it too far?' It's the doubt I've had ever since that day as a boy. Ever since I began losing time.
Still, Duke Arn has been bid me join. He says he wants his vassals known as dangerous men, it seems. I am not sure he means that kind of dangerous, however. Still, he is my liege and I do not think I can refuse him in this. To that end I even had new armor made. Steel plate and mail, rather than my usual leathers. The set is a great, heavy thing, all enameled in black and green with our ram on it. The commoner, Reyna saw it. Says she thinks I look ridiculous, like a wild beast playing at being tame.
I'm not sure what to think of that. In any case, the hour is getting late and I have needs of sleep. Hopefully tonight is a dreamless sleep for once.
