While on my outing in the woods around Arx, I wrote this. I know it is terrible, and I can not claim to be any sort of poet or writer, but it is at least from the heart.

The wisdom of ages
Lies in it's wood
The branches strong
Offering stories of ages past
Of safety beneath it's boughs
It's bark a shield
For a heart that is true

Relationship Note on Porter

Sir Porter Kennex of the Knights of Solace was an appreciated meeting upon my visit of the Great Cathedral. The meeting was a positive one and it was a good opportunity to talk of various things, and learn more in the process.

I can only hope all future meetings of strangers will be as pleasant.

Relationship Note on Kedehern

Thank you for the wonderful day we spent on my birthday, it was perfect. Going for a ride outside of the city, getting to be out and enjoying nature, and the picnic we made was just fantastic. An amazing day spent together. Here is to hoping for many more.

Tonight, the pen and the needle are inadequate. Wine cannot give proper purpose.

I'm so sorry, Lady Monique.

Decorous Composition has opened its doors within the Bazaar of the Ward of the Traveler. A place for those seeking jewelry of quality, as well as artwork of various kinds. When time permits I should soon be showcasing some new pieces.

I've taken some apprentices among my fellow refugees, to hopefully help them make a new home in this place. Just as I shall endevour to do the same.

I auditioned for a new play this week! It was the first time I've auditioned in a long time so it wasn't my best effort but I was pleased with the results! The Nightingale and several other princesses were there so now I suppose we wait with baited breath for the messengers to arrive--hopefully with good news!

There are a few chosen people in the Compact who think that someday I will make a difference in the world - that my name will be in history books. That my children will take the surname 'Swanchild'. That I am more than I seem.

I don't know why or how you think that, but thank you. Maybe someday I will be that person.

There comes a point where everyone needs to just get their shit together. Honest. Come together, because if we don't. Well--Good luck. We'll find ourselves falling apart. And failing. Accomplishing nothing.

The tournament was so much fun! A bit of a comedy that could have easily become a tragedy had it not been for luck during its early stages. I am regretful to say I was not the champion; that title went to the skilled Lord Haakon Eswynd. I made it to third place, with Scout Rowenova taking second place and Lady Rosalind the fourth place. Still, it was a good and most enjoyable experience! Cheers and praise to my sister the Lady Zoey Kennex and Lady Emily Deepwood for hosting such a delightful event! May there be more to come!

Promises made shall be kept.

There is always time to grieve later, but our enemies will not wait for us to finish weeping.

I will mourn later; there is too much work to be done.

I am intimately familiar with taking strikes to the head, but seldom from my own attempts to disembark a vessel.

My pride is stung more than my body. All things being equal, that's a price cheaply paid.

Many would have us believe that with Damik'uhl'daja dies hope for Skal'daja's future and Skal'daja's freedom. That is not so. But one of the gentler heirs of Skal'daja lies dead, and his loss will make Skal'daja's freedom much more difficult to attain. Rest in the arms of the Queen of Endings, Prince Damik of Skal'daja, and know that you will be mourned by many.

I have heard just now that something bad happened to Prince Damik! It's such a pity! He was so nice! At least, any time I met him, and when he even responded to my letters.

I'm sending my condolences to everyone who had to witness such a thing! It's such horrible news.

There are times when I am finally alone with my thoughts after an event.

No distractions. No sharing warm welcomes or smiles. No seeing to others pleasures or care. All have left with their spouses, friends or lovers. The staff have finished their work and found their beds or time to gather and celebrate another successful event in their quarters or the kitchens. Save for those who remain in other parts of the place, my Hart is quiet again.

It is in these moment I realize just how often I am alone in this world when all is said and done.

Thoughts of a Student:

Being bitten is not the best way to learn about the abyss.
Being left behind in a dark dark wood after, is also a good way to know who your friends aren't.

Relationship Note on Savio

Thoughts of a Friend;

I can set aside his leaving me behind in the woods, since he got me back to the villa after I apparently passed out at a recent party.
The drifter who drifts in certain directions is welcome to drift my way again.
