Relationship Note on Piccola
Reading the whites of Lady Piccola have been interesting to say the least.
Her analysis and theories on how war impacts the people and domains even outside of battle are of merit. Indeed it may be worth her collecting said thoughts into a compilation. I for one would want a copy of such a book.

It is always a little frustrating to be working from outdated information. Entirely my own doing, my line of work has taken me away from Arx quite often, particularly in the past year or so. And, of course, there's only so much any one man can focus on at a time, which may be the actual issue. It's difficult to choose what to look into, when I'm not investigating a topic at the request of someone else.

I would like to make public apologies to Braith and all of the Mazetti. I had planned on attending their Festival of Lights and was greatly looking forward to it. Alas, I missed it, though I am told that it was a wonderful experience. Of that, I had no doubt it would be. Hopefully, I will be able to attend the next... or another gathering.

I never would have expected it, but I'm proud nevertheless. Now that I'm related to a godsworn I have someone to go to for every stupid question I have!

Relationship Note on Margerie
The birthday cake Aunt Margerie made was lovely. I should have commissioned a painter to immortalize it, because I don't think anyone will believe me when I tell them about it now. It had pumpkin spice and honey pecans, with a chocolate frosting made to look like tree bark, and leaves. It was real, I swear it.
Someone also sent roses, but I'm not supposed to overthink those.

I must admit, I never truly expected to be a protege...and certainly not to a Lycene Prince. I am quite certain this arrangement will be interesting, and enlightening, if nothing else!

My cousins are both alright - when I first heard word of the attack on Solace, my heart leapt into my throat. Of course, I know both Bree and Brannen are Knights and well capable of taking care of themselves and their duties, and I would never expect them not to do so, but...all the same, I find I cannot help my worry.

Relationship Note on Porter
On behalf of the Silver Swords, welcome to the Silver Order, Sir Porter.
As you begin your days as a godsworn knight, I encourage you to think on the recent losses that the Knights of Solace suffered in defense of the House of Solace. Learn their names. Send messages to their families. And become comfortable with sacrificing yourself if duty called upon you to do it.

The scent of apples on the breezes reminds me of the joys autumn brings. Good Harvest celebrates the months of hard work, the wondrous results by devotion, and the promise of all things made of apple (at least for me).
As winter nears, the season affords us more moments spent indoors in the good company of loved ones and friends. So let us prepare to enrich our minds and commune in the solace of ourselves -- lending us time to heal and look forward to spring and rebirth.

Relationship Note on Porter
While I know Sir Porter only a little, in our brief acquaintance he has struck me as a man of great might, boldness, and merriment. I had the honor to witness his vows to the Faith and Knights of the Solace and it heartens me to see one such as this take up the sword for such a cause. All knights seem the better to have him among our number.

I attended Sir Porter Kennex's godsworn and knighting ceremony at the Grand Cathedral this week. It was a really moving affair. The moment when his brother, the Duke of Stormward, released him from his family oaths, I think you could almost feel the pang of loss mixed with great pride. Sitting near my own brother, it reminded me of his ceremony with the King's Own. Chatted with a few new people during the event as well. It's always nice to make the acquaintance of other knights of the realm.

I took my vows yesterday. A lot of the process was an incredible blur. I remember feeling incredibly nervous and also surprised by the amount of people that were there. And then TREMENDOUS CRUSHING ANXIETY as a I realized they were going to be watching me the entire time. But Father Aureth was great and Grandmaster Jeffeth was equally as great so I ended up not flailing nearly as much as I thought I was going to.
And Aethan was there. Which meant probably more than I could possibly put into words.
I hope he appreciated me not laughing until well after he sat down.
But I lied. I'm not sorry about the hug at all.

The festival of light by the Mazetti house, hosted by Lady Braith and Lord Thoren - what an amazing display! I laughed, cried and got quite tipsy and walked away from there with two amazing lanterns and a horse.
I won a horse. It's a very, very nice horse, and I got to learn how to ride now. I found a nice stable for him quite quickly not too far from my house, he'll be taken good care of, the stable hands got very impressed.

Relationship Note on Talia
Today, Talia Baseborn will debut her heirloom dresses honoring the Mourning Isles, and among them will be a dress for House Redreef.
I look forward to seeing what aspects of my Barony's history and culture will be reflected in the design of the dress. My ladies-in-waiting seem to be unable to hold any other topic in their minds.
Even as I write this, they whisper a debate among themselves, attempting to decide what gown from my wardrobe I would look best in at the debut. I'll let them debate a while longer, but I've already chosen.

I too cried when I saw the house of solace. It is meant to be a house of healing. One of Lagoma's love. In a way it feels like it has been violated and is wrong. I know it will be fixed and returned to it's state of healing, but it certainly feels like a gash that will take time to heal.

It's a Harlequin's duty to offer succour. To be there for the dying and those who've seen too much death, and to be there for the birthing and the welcoming of a new life.
I've done both in the last few weeks, and people seem to be quite surprised by it. I don't know why, it's not like silks can't be Marquessa such-and-such or Highlord Wotsit, as well as a person who laughs and lives and loves. Do they really think Lowers scum are less complicated than they are?
Stupid question, Ray. A lot of them don't think we feel pain or hardship like they do. Of course they think we're simple creatures.
