I hear people talk about opportunity being like a house where, wen one door closes another one opens. I don't know about opportunity, but that sounds like a drafty house.

I've been thinking about doing remodels of the flagship. Seems that cleaning might do it well. I also think that I might purchase some new sails for it.

Relationship Note on Fianna

I have started to finally settle down in Arx, when I find that things have changed all the more.

You have been more than a helpful friend and confidant.

I look forward to where the journey takes us.

Relationship Note on Niccolo

Every time I have another daughter, I think I become closer to being an old man. I have grey hair already and I'm barely thirty. Now I know how you must feel.

It's the strangest form of masochism.

Relationship Note on Ignacio

It's been a long time since I wrote in this.....but hey....no time like the present.

That's right....we're back....

Ignacio and I were sent off to Tor on a diplomatic mission some time back quite quickly and suddenly. It was one of the times I had any official business as the admiral of the Torean fleet. It goes without saying that with our lack of letters and writing were busy with dealing with several matters in Tor.

During this time also brought the birth of our daughter Malena. When we first got together we swore we'd never be parents as we were fighters....explorers.....wanting to be free to go as the wind that catches the sails of our ships. I never thought...I'd be a mother...that'd I be horrid at it. However....during my pregnancy I was more and more hopeful and excited. And once I heard that little bundle cry for the first time, I was in love. Her dark girl locks and green eyes....already trouble with her looks. And with being the daughter of Ignacio....we're really in trouble.

We're happy to be back in Arx with our daughter in tow to get back in the swing of things here now.

Oh....I need to have a crib commissioned to match our home here....I should get on that. I doubt Iggy will let her have anything less than a bed of roses to sleep upon if he could.

My cousin Ignacio is a father. I never would have thought I'd see the day but here we are. He has a beautiful daughter who luckily takes after her mother, Cadenza. I imagine this is only the beginning of having our Villa walls filled by the laughter of children.

Inigo owes me a visit.

Relationship Note on Cadenza

And with the announcement made, it does bring joy to me that it is known that I do not have one lovely rose, but two. The shining beacon in my life has only grown brighter and has spread. My daughter shall bring great things for I know this as a fact.

Relationship Note on Ouida

Once again, my sister has proven to be an amazingly adept and perceptive individual. She has set aside so much of her own hobbies to pursue the advancement of the house and were it not for her insights on various aspects, I fear that we could have been left with a little egg on our face in the coming days. As it is, we have avoided a small set back and have turned it into a strong win for Harthall.

Thank you again, dear sister!

Another successful trip to the homelands. The company that came with us was rather skilled and adaptable to the needs of the situation and we were able to add more members to the Compact while avoiding fighting, this time.

We can only pray that the taint of the deceased Gyre has been dealt with and that we can now move forward into the next calamity.

Thanks be unto Lord Valdemar Grimhall, Lady Miranda Rubino, Lord Cullen Greenmarch, Lord Vitalis Mazetti, Sir Jordan Ober, and Mister Faruq for all your aid in the adventures.

Relationship Note on Coraline

It looks as if marriage negotiations are going forward. She still seems willing despite asking if she was going to get as large as the Princess Alarrissa when she was with child. I was merely wondering as I would imagine sailing would be difficult, and she would be sad and depressed about it. She took it another way I think.

I haven't seen the Formerly Elf Slaughter Hall that lively in quite some time! It was a splendid ball you threw, well done. I enjoyed myself immensely.

Relationship Note on Gabriel

He's looking quite well, -and- we had a brief but quite pleasant conversation at this Bisland dinner where we managed not to disagree on anything. I'm immensely delighted on both accounts.

Relationship Note on Lora

The first time I met Lora was at her wedding to my cousin Nico. It was a gorgeous affair just at the start of Spring in Tor. The roses were in full bloom, the garden was magnificent and Lora made a most beautiful bride.

I am thrilled to have her join us in Arx. The change of scenery and the fast paced city life will be a balm to her soul.

I enjoyed a quiet evening with my sister and some friends at the Ambassador Salon tonight. Princess Liara was there, and we brainstormed up a few more ideas for the next ball or two.

It has been for an extended period of time I have spent outside of Arx, remaining in Tor to attend to House affairs. While I already miss Tor, there is something special about Arx that I can not deny. Many cultures collide in this city under the banner of unity. While things are not always united as we like to say it is. Regardless, this is the city that changed my life so many times over. Only if it wasn't so cold....

The Villa is filled with family once again. All those who have been traveling have all returned at the same time, which is a little overwhelming for our staff. I love the chaos; like a tempest over still waters.

To celebrate their return, I've decided to hold a small family and vassal gathering. We Fidante's may not care for cold weather, but give us any excuse to drink, dance, and celebrate the night away and we are there.

Attended a dinner at the Pravus estate, which turned out to be lovely. Apart from the Duchess, Sebastian was there, and there was a bit of a lively discussion of Eurusi culture (as always seems to spring up around me!) as well as illegal Nox wine. Not that I'd know anything about the latter.

Somebody must often leave entryways open here for the drafts that preempt my cousin’s notes. And what welcome notes they are!

Please note that the scholars may take some time preparing your journal for others to read.
