I blame myself, but that's not taking anything away from the Princess. She's skilled, knows her shit. Taking a year off has not been good for me. I've lost an edge, need to get it back. Locked up in my own head.
Didn't help that this armor has seen better days, took a solid enough shot that I'm pretty sure this chest piece is trash. Told to get in touch with some armorer named Eithne, I think.
Just another sign I've missed out on a lot.

But it's easy to be loyal when one serves House Deepwood.
I washed ashore in Deepwood lands and came to Arx to swear fealty to the Marquessa Samantha. She took me in as a member of her guard, knowing very little of me but trusting me with her safety. She gave me a room of my own, offered funds for equipment, and has -- at every step -- supported me. She surrounds herself with the best people, too. Do you know that happinesss you get, seeing people you care about happy, too? Watching the Marquessa and the Marquis come together and marry has made me happy for them even in the worst of the siege.
I've been learning about the Pantheon, about the gods of the Compact, and while I'm still learning, there's one prayer that I've prayed more than any other: thank you. Thank you, for letting me be part of Deepwood.
Yesterday, I was knighted by the Marquessa of Deepwood. And I accepted the position of Sword of Deepwood. I don't know. Maybe my Arvani isn't good enough, but I don't think I actually have the words to say how much that means to me, or how much it meant to me to see so many of my friends there. If it's easy to be loyal when you serve Deepwood, maybe it will easier for me to strive to be good and wise and honorable and just, because so many of my friends are all of those things, even if some of them would laugh at being called that. Thank you, for letting me surround myself with the best people, too.

Fancies, set down yer silver. Commons, lift a cuppa. News of m'absence was greatly accurate. I was there. Jus' in the background like I always was. But, I did not lose my nose. I dunno who started th'rumor - mebbe I did, cause the idea of losin a nose seemed uproarious (check out that fuckin' word, Scholar) - during a siege. All cut of m'nose to spite my face. Spit in the face of Brand, 'cause we won, and now I'll spend the rest of my day drinkin' --
Rambling, sorry.

She also seems to have finally stopped writing messages in all capital letters. Thank the Gods.

Relationship Note on Zhayla
I met her as a result of meeting and befriending the one that I'm married to and Zhayla was there nearly every step of the way. Quietly accompanying dinners, lurking in the background during evening strolls, or just socializing over drinks. A retainer within her House, she struck me as an abnormally positive and sincere guard. She did not possess the paranoia that I had developed with my time in the King's Own. She accepted me with the openness of one eager to learn. She is a fierce warrior, but she does not permit that fact to drive her to tyranny. She is, in few words, a good person. The Marquessa and Zhayla both aid in providing me with a certain level of guidance, moral or otherwise.
Early on she seemed fascinated by me. Likely a result of my status within the King's Own. She looked at me as one looks to a role model and as a result I felt compelled to properly fill that role as water fills a pitcher. I saw, and still see, in her the capacity for greatness. I have always felt that with the proper guidance, support, and aid that she will accomplish great things in both word and deed. Even horseback riding, someday. We have spoke on the topic of knighthood a great deal since our first meeting and it is a topic that I generally hold in high regard. I am a knight, I have been a knight for nearly a decade at this point, I squired with Sir Jak Whitemane, as my siblings did before and after me. So when the topic is knighthood and the philosophy of it, I am generally quite attentive.
When Zhayla expressed her interest in knighthood to me, I embraced that question. It is a simple question to me, but quite complicated in the eyes of many. What I did know is that if Zhayla were to be knighted, she would immediately be a greater knight than many who claim the station. Compassionate, fierce, honorable, humble, courageous, and honest.
All of these things, all of these memories, and all of this work is why I am proud to see Zhayla reach that goal. Dame Zhayla of Old Oak, Sword of House Deepwood. She has earned all of that and so very much more. When the day comes that I pass on, I will rest easy in knowing that Dame Zhayla will stand implacable in defense of House Deepwood and the Marquessa. The goal we should all possess is to be better than we were the day before and it is my belief that Dame Zhayla embodies that. So long as the heart is true and intent pure, the rest will follow.
I am proud of her.

Celebrate not the victory, fellow man who drinks too much and speaks too loudly, but the challenge that you were given. Without pain and loss, we will never grow. Dwell on the events which led to the situation so that you might have understanding. But we trek on through new days, unaware that we walk in the echoes and shadows of the past. The wheel turns according to its purpose.
The wheel, it grinds all but leaves a grain behind. Inevitability stares at us all with stoic silence. How will you meet it?
