Rubbish! Everything in my wardrobe is rubbish! It makes me feel sad just peering into it.
Clearly the only way to resolve that terrible feeling in my stomach is to burn it all and start over.
Fortunately Miss Aurora has come up with a style that promises to make me shine as I ought to! But what shall I wear with it... I have no jewelry that will match this lovely ensemble.
Oh dwelling on it brings back that terrible feeling again so I shall not. Instead I will hope and pray to the good gods that some kind soul remedies my fashion crisis before it becomes too great an issue!

The evening was enchanting. Crimson sun embraced grey clouds and I could see their fluffy frames light up in passionate tones. I felt how the chilly waves tickled my toes and I was slowly sinking into unsteady ground. Though, a breeze entangled my curls and its playfulness stirred me from the charms of the magical sunset. Waves breaking onto the coast, the quietly blowing wind, rustling leaves and the hooting of an owl created a magnificent melody and I did not even notice how my hand raised up and my feet started to move. By the time the sun lay down with the clouds into sheets of silent night, I created a new dance.

Relationship Note on Joscelin
It’s like not a day has passed, despite the fact that I’ve been gone for the better part of the last few. Laughing and talking and not missing a beat in the dance that is our friendship.
I had not realized how much I missed her.
My mother and father, the ones that raised me, were very obviously not the ones that made me. I knew that fairly young. Tall, blond, blue-eyed, and fair as a bowl of cream. Also more concerned about ledger books and family reputation than I ever have. They love me, but I don’t think they’ve ever understood me.
Joscelin was the first to make me feel accepted for what I am and not for the things that I can never be. She never worries about my lack of husband or marriage prospects. Never a whisper about how I’m wasting my life on ships and in caravans. She understands. She sees *me*. I don’t know if I have any blood siblings in the world, but she’s as close to one as I suspect I will ever know.

Relationship Note on Viktarkim
In my heart, I know that he does not deserve to be blamed for what has happened to me. But it's hard for me to look at him, see those tattoos, the shape of his face, and not recall the horror of what I have known. It is not his fault. He deserves to be treated as an individual, worthy of judgment by virtue of his own accomplishments and failures. And so that is what I shall try to do.

Relationship Note on Gareth
I confess to being uncertain as to how to sum up my feelings regarding Prince Gareth. We are both survivors of shav atrocities, even if he wears his trauma on the outside as mine is hidden within. He is eloquent and witty and intelligent, all features I appreciate. I could even call him handsome despite the scar. But he carries his pain like he himself is a walking wound, and like any animal in pain, lashes out at others. Not to mention his vocation is appalling. And yet...I think he is lonely. If I continue to maintain a presence in his company, I may enjoy myself, but must remember at the end of everything, who and what he is.

Marquessa, Deepwood vassal to Grayson. Beautiful, elegant woman who was very polite and inclusive of me in her conversation.

Redrain Princess, didn't much care for how her brother Fergus was being so unfriendly. Don't really know her yet but I am curious about her.

Redrain Prince, serious fighter and crusty son of a bitch. Doesn't like me because of what I am, even though his House is full of Shavs.

Inquisitor Prince for House Grayson is an insightful man. I think I rather like him, even if he probably thinks I'm a cockroach.

Relationship Note on Viktarkim
It's amazing how quickly he caught on when I tried to explain what I meant by 'the cut of a man's jib'. Either he's faking his lack of fluency just to watch me flail around explaining slang, or he is the -slowest- learner of languages I have ever met.

I am desperately angry and insatiably restless. I want to fight or fuck, and neither seem readily available enough. I cannot sit still, and I certainly cannot talk philosophy in between a man dripping in friendliness and a woman whose gaze seems to be eagerly stripping me of my clothing. Gods, I do wish she had followed me. I'm in a dark enough mood to sink even as far as the Burroughs if it meant relief.

I would very much like to do something violent to this man. I am not sure whether that involves a fist in his face or bending him over a fence.

Relationship Note on Silas
I remember him, in those days after what happened. We were both little, and he was always trying to find ways to make me smile without making me feel as if what happened was something to be dismissed. Silas has a sense of daring to him that reminds me that risks are worth taking. I hope he has occasion to rise. He deserves it.
