I have just received an amazing donation of Black Cherry and Black Currant wine from Marquessa Quenia Igniseri, which she assures me is one of only TWO bottles that have been produced! If you are a collector of rare alcohols, make sure you buy yourself some raffle tickets for tonight!

Tonight is the night of the party! So, if you haven't gotten me your donations please do so before the raffle tonight! Also, there's still time to buy raffle tickets! We have some amazing things up for grabs and it all goes to the wonderful cause of defending the Lodge of Petrichor so please purchase tickets! We've already raised a great amount and I am so touched by people's generosity!
On a different note, I do hope that Scholar Oswyn is doing all right while he's off on his adventure! Scholar Hayward is a treasure, surely, but I think even I tired of exclamation points after awhile! He had such a good ear for punctuation! And of course, he is a great friend, so I hope he returns soon!
Have I mentioned how dreadful it is to be this pregnant? I find myself anxious for the end and yet at the same time wondering...how exactly does this baby get out? I, of course, have been informed of how it's supposed to work but...really? Surely there's an easier way, right? And now it's just a waiting game as to when the little Prince or Princess might make her appearance. Lady Margret tells me I've a month or so to go until we really start being on edge for imminent arrival, but she also said that these things can be surprising so I ought to take it easier than I have been. So, after tonight's event I think I shall be resting a lot more. But I'm told everything is looking as well as can be expected and I just hope I can live with the excitement of it all for another month+!
SO EXCITING!

Relationship Note on Vayne
I would be a liar if I said I ever found any wisdom in the teachings of Tehom that I felt made me a better person, or that it provided a perspective that I found meaningful in a way that I felt I did not find from the virtues the other gods exemplify.
I would also be a filthy liar if I said that Brother Driskell's didn't get me to give him my undivided attention and truly, honestly listen more than I would have otherwise.
Thank you for posting his recipe, and the reminder that just because you didn't agree with someone doesn't mean that Arvum was a better and brighter place for them having been a part of it. And that they can still make us smile even though thier time with us was far too brief.

I am writing far less these days. It's not that I am lacking inspiration to do so - not that at all - but a combination of a lack of time and far too many subjects, many of which are sensitive, all of which I want to give a proper exploration when I do write. This makes it difficult to put quill to ink and pick one.
Case in point: I have just taken half an hour to decide what this second paragraph is going to be about.
There has been a cascade of thoughts in my mind of late, feelings and emotions, goals and conflicts. There has been a lot of change recently - some of which even managed to unbalance me - and yet, I feel only inspired to more. More wine, more love, more laughter, more tears, more fighting, more bleeding, more chasing anything that feels real enough, that's intense enough, that my body and mind both sing in harmony at the beauty of it all.
This one isn't quite there. Perhaps that is why there is a trail of ashes behind me.

I dreamt I was rendered mute not because my tongue was taken away, but because whenever I spoke rose petals spilled out. I could hardly breathe through the rose scented perfume that filled my lungs.

Relationship Note on Josephine
I can not even begin to express how impressed I am with Josephine Arcuri. She brokered an amazing deal for me for the making of my armor and weapon, so good that it felt like I MADE money when it was all over. I half suspect I was, in fact. And the ease with how she handled it all? Absolute, complete efficiency and professionalism while also being a social graceful marvel.
I enjoyed it so much I'm tempted to just buy things and beg her to broker for me, for the enjoyment of it all. I won't though, she is a busy woman.

It's the dogs. They bring people together. A well-behaved happy dog can make everyone feel comfortable and and they comfort, too. (This is the actual reason I walk around with three dogs, cause one isn't enough to make people talk to me.)

I hadn't thought this would all come together, the Commons Courts, with its great view of the lowers, a little slice of what it must be like looking down from up on the hill. It isn't anything fancy, but it'll do. Already got a couple of folks moving in, pretty soon the shops should be opening and we'll have another bit of community down here.

Relationship Note on Jyri
Iron Guard Kennel-master, widower, father of a five year old boy who stays with neighbors or friends while Jyri works. He writes stories, worries about his social skills, which really are quite adequate though not polished. He visited me at the Saik Tower to check on Gunther after Sparte told him I had mentioned that sometimes the dog still remembered and would walk along the old patrol route. He brought 3 of the dogs he is training when he came. They got along well with Gunther and Golden and the five of them played with sticks and balls, had treats and raced along the Tower Garden paths. It was a pleasant afternoon and I enjoyed meeting another person who knew my late husband.

A couple of days past I wanted to think and as I often do, took a walk while doing so, no particular destination in mind. My guard dogs were with me and as we stepped out the Lycene area, my late husband's dog, Gunther took the lead subtly, and a few blocks later I realized we were walking my husband's old Iron Guard Patrol route that they followed for a few years. Step by step, building by building, pausing to observe, the dog remembered his training and the routine and we wound up at the barracks. It was both amusing and sad at the same time. Poor Gunther. He is content with me and my other dog, Golden and adores the twins, but he still misses Estaban.

I dislike riddles am not good at solving them. Therefore for the sake of avoiding un-necessary irritation, perhaps when you pose a riddle I might see or hear, you could just... messenger me the answer.

I won a raffle! Finally.
I'll have a medic follow me around now, in case I trip and fall down. They're going to be so bored. I might have to seriously take up jousting so they have something to do.
Pretending to have an ailment at the fundraiser was fun, I'm glad I took a pass on the itchy berry bug bites and ended up with dementia instead. Thank you, Reigna.

I didn't think I could get blisters any longer. I was very, very wrong. I got blisters on my feet AND hands. I got new boots, so there's that. But the hands? I've softened up, clearly. All this digging has proven I'm not as tough as I thought I was.
