Relationship Note on Amari
I will always feel honored and humbled in regard to kind words about my work. That said, House Keaton have been exceptionally generous in their patronage, generosity, and overall kindness to me over the years. It is not often someone mentions a creature, real or imagined, that I can not get out of my head. I knew I had to make Hawkbear and that only one person should get to claim the piece as their own. Truly, Lady Amari created it and I just bent it to metal.

All the gifts I want to give to people need to stop being so expensive, or I need to get a lot more money.
I could always make them myself, I guess, but people could only use so many wardrobes.

I have to remember to buy some arugula leaves. I'm not sure they'll really help spur Clopsy to greater feats of speed and agility, or even motivate her slightly, but there's no harm in trying.
It's not as if she could have gone any slower during the ring joust, unless the arugula leaves cause her to fall asleep.
Anyway. I always spectate at those sorts of things, but not having to fear being lanced from horseback, it was entertaining to try for a change, rather than just watch. Apologies to everyone that had the misfortune of seeing that poor performance and those jousters who had to wait for me to make it through the course at the speed of a drowsy snail.
Thanks to my fellow competitors for the kind words and advice after, and thank you, Duke Cristoph for indulging me.

Relationship Note on Ida
I don't wish to embarrass Dame Ida terribly by piling on the compliments, but I have to make a record of my gratitude to her. Hawkbear is a thing of true beauty and savagery! I may not yet have a collection of Ferron weaponry as vast as Prince Luca's, but perhaps one day. I've never been anything but amazed by her imagination and workmanship. My wondrous hawk bow, and its matching hairpins and now this wonderful cutlass, all are gorgeous and masterfully crafted.
Thank you, Dame Ida.

I must confess that before every fundraiser we host at the Hart I worry about a million things.
I worry that all feel welcome and cared for. That a good time is had by all. That we will not run out of whiskey, rum and wine. And, I worry our fundraising goals may not be met.
Everything we raise is so essential to the good causes we hope to support.
Fortunately, the people of Arx are generous and understand why their donations are so important. I know that tonight's fundraiser will be no different and they will come together to help with the cause.
But even so, I often hold my breath until I see their smiles and suddenly know it will be just fine.

My sense of fashion has been called into question. Apparently I need to updo my hair, find some fancy threads and train my Fancy Lad side up. I'm a sailor! I know not the first thing about fashion.
With that being said, it did give me a solid kick in the ass to commission new armor. There I do know where to start, with the best as it has been told to me. Fare thee well Silver! You were a fine companion while you were here, I will forever remember your weighty jangle as you rode at my hip.
There is always more to take,
Starra

Today there was an activity in House Thrax, which I attended. House Thrax... While I know they have been warlike, I am pretty thankful that despite all things, they are one of our great Houses. I guess its because they are willing to act against the enemies of the compact, and spend lest time in talking and diplomacy. I'm not saying those talents: talking and diplomacy are not important. But when the diplomacy and talk fails, I'm glad House Thrax is ready to crack skulls. And with their Highlord Victus Thrax, I'm certain only greatness awaits them.

Customs of Arvani people are all at once strange and yet familiar. I have traveled far across an uncrossable ocean, never to return and learned that these people from a far away land are all so similar to the ones I left behind, and yet all at once so different and strange. I do not know how long it will be taking me to truly understand these people, but I am hoping that until then that I make a good impression.

I am working diligently to learn not just one but two new languages! New to me, of course. I'm sure they don't feel new to those who already speak them. It certainly makes me feel less provincial to be expanding my linguistic skills. Less provincial and more an adventurer! I owe immense thanks to Sir Corban and Lord Mirk for helping me with this... and for their patience as I butcher the proper accent in my practice attempts. May the gods bless the patient people and the teachers among us.

I realize there's something about aging and commenting on the craftmanship of furniture, but I have to admit, there's nothing quite like finally having a room the way you want it after getting a matching chest and wardrobe. I don't know why that appeals to me.
And organizing. I found a full suit of armor in a wardrobe the other day and I have no idea why or who put it there.
And someone put liquor bottles in my bookcase. I say someone, but I have the uncanny sensation it was me. Because some reason I thought it'd look good. I still have no idea why.

Relationship Note on Luca
There are few honors as great as when what you love to do is not only liked, but mentioned in the whites for as much. I am both so happy and humbled almost beyond words. Almost because clearly, this is all full of words. The apprentices who often man the counter while I work have some new instructions, though no few of them tend to swoon and get starry-eyed when you visit; hopefully they'll manage to remember despite that.

I've gotten several amazing gifts. I was very surprised cause I barely paid attention to that whole gift giving thing. I was busy digging a trench. One bloody big trench. It took days, but it's one damn fine piece of hard labor.
Anyway, what I meant to say was; I love all the gifts, but don't do it again. You know who you are.

I did several very responsible things this week, which I believe should be documented here for posterity.
1. I spent a good deal of time working on decorating the new house. It's not nearly ready for entertaining guests, but it is getting there.
2. I managed to spend much of my savings on a few pieces of jewelry, which actually is irresponsible cross this off.
3. I got in touch with a few people regarding some projects I wish to undertake as a Grayson Minister.
4. I was especially attentive to Queen Symonesse. My only fault as a lady in waiting is I'm not very skilled at helping her style her hair. What with the spiders.

I spent a good part of this morning going through and seeing to the cleaning of my blade collection. Well. Giuseppe helped. Or maybe he did most of the work and I drank. But I /was/ there for it. And awake.
Anyway, my point is, I noticed I now own eleven pieces of Dame Ida Ferron's fine craftsmanship. Not that I am complaining. They look beautiful, and they're more than just easy on the eyes, too. I should know. I'm nearly considering getting a separate display case for her work. To paw through it would be a journey of white dragon hilts spewing forth flames down blades, regal griffins washed in sunset copper, a weapon that evokes the wings of ravens against silver moonlight, breeze-blown autumn foliage and glistening sunshine on winter pines between two different longswords. That's less than half of them!
..maybe I'll have Giuseppe commission a second display case.

No scholar, I have no idea why any of the Confessors would look horrified because I was humming on my way in to drop off paperwork this morning. Stop looking at me like that!
