Relationship Note on Godric
Personally the only 'reward' I've ever gotten for pursuing a mystery is more mysteries.
But I didn't die horribly so there's that I guess.

It's not THAT secret. And it still makes no sense; how many /good/ rewards do people get for solving mysteries these days I ask you.

Dear journal,
Really, I am looking forward to the gift giving.
When did it become more fun to give than to receive?
I suppose once I got old enough to be able to afford giving.

Relationship Note on Eddard
It astounds me every time I think that this is Baron Clement's nephew.
I met him for the first time at the incredible ceremony celebration for the Baron and Baroness' wedding. I'm not sure which of us was more surprised, more horrified. I will say that I look forward to future encounters. And songs.

My first week back was incredibly eventful! I returned to the Estate and my very first visitor was my dear brother, Luca. Well. He didn't exactly show up to see me specifically because he didn't exactly know I was back. We just happened to cross paths in a most fortuitous manner! But, still! He was there and I was there! And I hugged him until he turned blue because I missed him so much. My sisterly senses tell me, though, that something vexes him and I'm not certain what it is... /Yet./ I will find out soon enough. I always do. Until then, I will visit Luca as often as I can. OH! I almost forgot to mention that Luca's hair looked amazing!
Speaking of amazing hair... I attended a gathering (so many beards, so many brews!) at The Spirits a few days after my arrival and I was simply stunned by all of the big, burly, manly men with beautiful hair. I must admit that I secretly wanted to sit them down and braid their hair. When I wasn't admiring them, I met and became acquainted with Princess Nuala and Lady Amari, then bumped into Lord Vitalis by happenstance. I had such fun!
Oh. About Lord Vitalis. I might've volunteered him to be my date for cousin Jaenelle's upcoming Feast of Senses. I RSVP'd and wrote his name without exactly telling him about it first. Oops! He didn't run screaming after he received my messenger, so I'm taking that as a good sign! Or maybe he did and I just don't know about. I assume he didn't. I /hope/ he didn't. Well, I'll find out if I wind up dateless that evening.
Lady Delilah is a gem, I must note this fact. We met in the aviary at the Menagerie and NO I was NOT hunting the birds! I was simply /admiring/ them from a distance. I did have this overwhelming urge to practice archery when I returned home, though... and I suppose I will accept blame for the not-so-mysterious disappearance of birds around the Estate again. I'm going to start carrying my bow with me because you never know when it'll come in handy.
I've an urge to watch the Champions duel, too. Perhaps I can volunteer someone to go with me! Because that's how that works, right? I see you, Scholar, rolling your eyes at-- oh, look! A songbird!

Relationship Note on Valencia
I echo Princess Valencia's excitement at the upcoming Sip and Spar. It was quite generous of her and the Golden Hart to dedicate the next iteration of this event to raising resources and other funds for the Lodge of Petrichor. As much as strong sword arms, we require the materials to prepare the defenses and weaken our enemy.
With a successful event, we will be even further along in our preparations.

Hmm. War with shavs, while costly in lives, tends to be good for other sorts of business. Expect the weapons, lumber, and steel trade around Ischia to rise. Of course, anyone paying attention to previous developments in this area should not be surprised! The southern Lyceum should be a good place to ship the war goods of war for a bit. One thing in reading the proclamations that I did not understand: What is a Platinum Ban? There isn't enough of the stuff to warrant banning it, really! And it's harmless - or as harmless as any shiny metal that represents a great deal of wealth can be. Which means that when people die over it, it's usually malice, and not an inherent property of the metal. I think. I haven't really ever had enough platinum to test that! Maybe it's actually secretly poisonous?

Once again the ice bear climbs off the mountain just in time for war.
Even if this is a different sort of battle from the last, the irony doesn't escape me.
It's good to see you again my friend.
Even if sometimes I just want to punch you.

It is funny. Events overtake knowledge sometimes, we struggle in the dark, events may be different to what our research suggests....yet sometimes there is serendipity. Sometimes research you thought had been overtaken answers questions set to the side long ago for lack of an answer.
Prince Laric speaks of finding parts of our past, of remembering. In his case it is the Metallic Order, in my case my research is the history of my own Order and its precursors. It is surprising what our ancestors knew, and what they achieved. And what we must now do in honour to preserve the world they left to us.
What I will say of it publicly is that on a recent journey, we went to a place we knew was a site of evil. All our records pointed to that. The cave was infested by dangerous creatures, it is a site where even a Templar fell to the temptations of the darker parts of his soul and slew his brother. We went there expecting the worst. What we found was a lesson in Faith. All that was evil, all that was dark, all of that had been overcome by the peace and tranquility of the Gods. It felt very much as if Gild, Gloria and Limerance walked with us. It was a place I thought would test my Faith, and ended up being a place which re-affirmed it. The Gods transcend all, and if we hold to them, we will be amazed at even the smallest glimpse of their wonder.
