You seemed quite certain in your knowledge of bear-dueling! I was just testing you.
You passed the test.
This time.
Fair-Bear.

Why are you asking me? You are the Bear Princess. Princess Bear?
The intention, of course, is that you are the Expert Princess on Bearology.

By definition, a pair of individuals dueling with hugs is formally called 'wrestling'. I understand the Redrain hug-duel bears quite often.

Back from Stormward.
Please line up and approach me one at a time to tell me how much you missed me.
Now let's do this in alphabetical order. Of course that makes Aethan first, but I've already spoken to him, so Princess Alarissa would be next, but I understand she has an appointment right now, Duke Arn, yes, never actually met him, so... oh my, that means first up is Bastien!

Relationship Note on Harper
While I'm at the Archives I should make an entry about non-sword things.
After my last entry, the scholar is looking at me like he's frightened, which I want to make sure is recorded. Don't cringe, man, it's silly. A little yelling never hurt anyone, and often adds necessary emphasis. Vellichor's work isn't for the timid.
Anyway this is not about yelling about how wonderful swords are. This is about my new sort-of niece, Harper Ashdown.
I've been thinking about family of late, and how the way we define it changes as we go through life. My kin and tribe of Greenwoods will always be my family. They’re in my blood and skin and their past echoes in my soul. But there’s also the family we find and choose. Harper Ashdown and my husband chose each other as family, so she’s mine now, too. I've decided she’s my niece. I’ve got a niece already, but she’s my first found one. I like her very much already. She’s brave and true and has excellent taste in pastries, so I think I’ll keep her.

Kindness, respect, friendship and a willingness to listen are my favorite weapon.
Then you have the sneakiest fucker you know get 'em in the back when they go for a hug.
Just watch your own back, because you should never forget that the sneakiest fucker you know is a sneaky fucker.

I'm two glasses of wine in and starting to feel better myself.
Hardly my first time at this game, but ow. Ow. Why would you ever play that game with me? I'm going to win every time.
Yes, Scholar, I do define this state as winning.

It’s cute watching people get hangovers for the first time(s). Several talented people in Arx make a tea. I’d plug my own, but I haven’t had time for tea making in some time.
Or you could do what my Uncle Manny did and drink a shot of pickle juice.

Colors still hurt, but yes, Lady Margret - we did. Very best of best friends if what my ladies are telling me is right.
I'm still waiting for my bracelet. My favorite color is blue, by the way. Though, right now it might be green with how I am feeling.
Mistress Valery has this amazing hangover tea. I think your brother has some.

My preferred weapon to wield?
The quill, despite its size, has the enormous power to achieve what a sharp-edged blade cannot. The reach and range of a sword does cannot compare to a quill. The needlepoint tip of a quill can wound deeper. The potential to be more powerful than any show of physical force. More damage can be done with words than any weapon and the impacts can last far longer. Although, setting aside the metaphor, having a sharpened quill to be a companion to my knife and my scalpel would be an extraordinary addition.

I have made a couple of purchases from Scholar Oswyn's shop already actually! His writing instruments are such handsome pieces! I even gifted His Grace, Prince Darren, with a set. I should revisit, really. I thank you for the reminder!

If the highest lesson Master Culler can teach is "how to get a princess to go out with you," then I'm afraid his priorities are sorely misplaced. I hadn't had such a base read of him, but perhaps I will have to lower my opinion.
