Relationship Note on Fecundo

I wish you all the luck on your up and coming joust! I'm sure you'll learn everything you need to know to see things through.

It is hard to describe the joy and honor I felt reviewing some of the whites Rigby brought me to read while I had my first cup of coffee before work begins today. I turned 36 a few days ago and it's not that I don't like to celebrate such things, but the years turn faster, it seems, and another birthday tends to be just another birthday. However, I do sometimes mull over these years and measure deeds and experiences and loves and losses. Which is all far more melancholy that I mean it to sound.

I am blessed to have the kind regard of people I respect tremendously. As well, I have some of the kindest, most loving friends that I know will always be there for me. In many cases, those describe the same persons. I am so grateful for everyone's kind words and hope I manage to keep earning that generosity and patronage.

Relationship Note on Rinel

Surely your quill was kissed by Jayus when you sat to write such a lovely thing.

"Union at Horizon"


Lady Mangata, She of ocean wave and clouded sky, to Whom
the nights upon the sea are sacred, a path upon the water draws.
None may view that view She may not share--but let us pause
and in our pausing grieve for Her, Who faces lonely doom.
For is she not our Lady of the skies and seas in all their murky gloom?
No wonder that from light and love she seemingly withdraws,
Her vigil set upon Her by Great Aion's ancient laws.
Alone, eternal, her endless way lit only by the moon.
A timeless point--but time, as with all things, moves ever on,
and promise made soon blooms from dusty buds of past:
The Maid of Flame and Light arrives, no more is gone.
Softly now! For light shines forth as morning from the depths is drawn.
The Goddess turns to meet Her Love at last,
and softer still does fading moonlight kiss the new day's dawn.


-R. Tern

I climbed three buildings today. No lichen. I will find it before winter is out. I will.

To you, Leola; my utmost gratitude and respect. Thank you.
To Brier: Don't tell the other horses this, but you're my favorite.

Today I took my exam to become a full physician with the Physician's Guild. The journey to this point has been amazingly instructive, and having passed the exam I am very pleased to be able to provide further service. My specialty is combat medicine, most specially because that is where I will most often be needed. I am beyond grateful to my guild for the guidance and patience to help me get here.

Today I met several people in the Ambassador Salon. It was fun to flirt with Duke Harlan, who did not seem to mind. Princess Liara seems to me like the sort of person I should like to get to know better, and Mistress Melody is very playful and fun. I think it was a nice relaxing and enjoyable evening, and look forward to many more such evenings.

Relationship Note on Wylla

That was very subtle.

Also, the Scholar whose time I usually occupy by giving me five new random people each week has seen fit to send me a copy of your posting, which is why I am writing to you on my own journal.

Excellent choice in stone, I have a set myself that Ida made with fire opals. Stunning work, I bet they're beautiful.

I have decided to begin searching for the answers of my past. I may find nothing. I may find everything. I may find that I don't want to know what I found. I tried to go out to sea for some time, despite all the dangers that lurk around the corners. I came from the sea. Where? I do not know. I figure it is the sea that I shall first look.

Relationship Note on Edain

Artistic expression comes in many forms. If you wish this painting to be offered at the Shrine of Jayus, please send a messenger. I can think of no higher calling for such a painting once you have gotten to the bottom of its ownership.

... I hope that one was all right. I tried.

Do we really care about someone's past? I'm not sure that we do. Not always, at any rate. What we care about is the person who was able to share that past: the one that makes you want to compare; the one that makes your insecurities burst out. She is like a shadow.

Or maybe it is you who are the shadow.

Relationship Note on Mirari

I find that I must give credit where credit is due.

After months of figuring it out, Ettore and I approached Mistress Mirari about rings to be made. We gave her our vision for what they should look like and while her designs were brilliant, the actual rings themselves turned out to be absolutely breathtaking. I could not have asked for a more beautiful piece of future, for the rings are more than simple pieces of jewelry.

I passed the exam to become a full-fledged physician today. I had an amusing encounter with a child and then had to tell a man that he was dying. Slowly, with just a handful of years left.

Most of my experience has been in the field - splinting broken limbs, cleaning out injuries, stitching people up - and then, usually just for short periods of time. A stop after a duel to tend to an injury. A journey of a few weeks with one bandit attack and a soldier with a funny rash that requires a salve. My time spent in the Lowers clinic seems to be much of the same. Blood, bones, and trauma.

My achievement has been recorded. Back to the shop with me.

You should SEE the Hairpins Dame Ida made for me. Rubicund and fire opal. I wear them almost every day. They are my absolute favorite. Dame Ida is the weaponsmith of choice for House Keaton. We all carry weapons of her make. It is an honor to carry them.

I was very surprised when my ask for improving myself was answered by Prince Edain Valardin. He also asked if I was up to serving as his Champion for an upcoming challenge. Due to the nature of the challenge, jousting, I had to admit that I would not be, perhaps, his best choice as I have not had much experience on horseback. His Highness' generosity shone through as he offered to help me in improving my skill on that front as well.
