Still, with this sword! I thought that was resolved months ago? Well it's good to see some things never change.

I completed a sculpture and had it delivered to the Valardin ward for the Artshall Spring Fete. It was the first sculpture that I was actually satisfied with when I saw it taken away. I have some very, very fond memories associated with the work, and for that alone it will live in my heart.
It was successful enough that I am considering adding more of such pieces to my shop. I am already considering expansion. My first thought was to create separate rooms for each of our Principalities, as each has their own unique take on style trends. But given the current circumstances, I do not know if segregation is what is needed right now. So perhaps instead I will simply add in an alcove for statuary or drawings, mmm?

Relationship Note on Jyri
That you've got the Guards and the recruits is only proof of what others see in you, Jyri!
As Captain Harlex was kind enough to say, you're a fine leader and the Iron Guard is wise to recognize it.
Proud of you, friend; if you ever need help whipping those pups into shape, let me know!

I dreamt of a queen with golden hair, sitting upon a thrown of ice and silver crowns. Beautiful was her glory, but freezing to the touch was her skin.

I'm mad at you. And proud of you. All at the same time.

How can it already be mid-April? Where went the days of March, flown by in a howling snap of snow and the sudden torrential rush of liquid sunshine? Hardly have I turned around to mark the passage of the month than the heat, unbearable and bright, is upon me. That means a certain need to commit to cleaning out the gardens, folding up the transitional attire of that foggy wet period before the spring weather settles in, and organization of all kinds.
I feel as though we have all been cocooned in sleep, and now it falls to us to create order of a kind.

The matter between House Telmar and Bliss Whisper is currently being mediated by the Faith. The recklessness with which this matter has been discussed demonstrates a profound lack of grace. Examine yourselves carefully before committing more ink to the archives before this situation has been resolved. The gods bear witness to your words... along with everyone else.

Old Grimminy is back from the countryside. He complained that farm life was too hard and asked me to get him taken care of like I did during the silent war.
He said I owed him money for publishing his autobiography.
He said he wants to meet a nice young lady and start a family.
He got beat up by Dame Tom for trying to steal her pillow.
I'm not sure which of these I should feel good or bad about yet, but I have a feeling I'll know within the week.

What is hope?
I was asked that recently, and I had to think about it. People hope for different things, which to some degree makes hope different for each of us. Yet on inspection there is a common thread. Hope is about a positive change, or a positive lack of change. We hope for something to be different in a way that we see as better, or we hope for something we see as better to last longer. To some degree that makes hope an aspect of Lagoma, the Lady of Change.
I asked myself a different question afterwards. What do /I/ hope for?
It is so much easier to write in abstracts than to find the words for how I feel. I wonder if it is like that for others.

You will make a fine leader to those guards, I'm certain.
I'd offer some advice but my 'commanding through fear' is _apparently_ not something to advise.
Good luck.

Good and lively night at the Murder this evening; Evaristo put on quite the show, and his tales of Copper helping the common folk were ones I'd never heard! Knowing someone with that much power went out of her way so often to use it to help us down here, and then still gave it all when the clocktower fell...gives a salty sea dog some much-needed perspective on that day. I'm humbled, and will take a bit of hard-earned coin to pick up a little bit of something copper to wear on my person, much as others have done.
We all had a very spirited conversation about choice, for good or ill, and our Visitors From Afar...voices about the emissaries have been pretty grim down here, some even suggesting we Lowers folk will be the ones to pay a blood price in the end. Think the emissaries are a bunch of pompous tossers, meself, but talk of blood is always alarming, so I did what we've been asked to do and reached out to Sina Godsworn, one of our new Commoner Councilors, and asked how a humble sort could expect to know much about Undying Whosits, and she responded right away -- seems more information for us is a big concern, and in the works!
Don't harbor any illusions that anybody subscribes to me Whites, but...if you see this, be patient. Keep your ears and eyes open, friends...we're not alone.
(On that note, seems like there was one among us who was tonight who was not exactly who she appeared, and sparked most of our talk about choices...may have been a trick of the light as she left, but...we certainly live in interesting times!)

Relationship Note on Austen
There is nearly a decade between my brother and I. One might think that would lead us to not be as close as siblings who did not have as great an age difference, or that perhaps I might seem more mother than sister to him. I'm glad that's not the case, and I don't think it ever really has been. Of course I have always looked out for him, but I think he has done the same for me as well in his own ways. It is hard to put to word how important a person my brother is to me. He is one of the best knights and people I know, which I say with very little bias. Ask him. He'll be the first to note I don't give him kind words easily.
In any case, that he will be one of the Silver Swords, The King's Own, The Hundred, is something that makes me so proud. The paths and decisions that lead him here have not always been easy, but he has taken step after step with humbleness and honor. Congratulations, brother.

Sir Austen's earlier Iron Guard retinue has been reassigned to me.
So, now I have three guards following me everywhere. Good men. Really annoying to never be left alone however. I mean. Why? I don't need them! I got three dogs too! And Gene Erique!
And now they've sent twenty fresh recruits, most of them not even twenty years old yet, to have a week of training in the Kennels, with me as their teacher.
I feel like I am getting hazed or something.
