Spider bites.
My hands are covered with spider bites.
I am ever grateful for lace gloves.
And for having the sense to carry vials of antidotes with me.
And for not being eaten alive by thousands of spiders.

The result is magnificent though and so I am also grateful for the opportunity given to me by the Archduchess.

Orathy I do hope you return some time or they find out what has happened to you.
So much is going on and I felt safe knowing you were watching my back but now your gone.
I don't know what to say or think just that many did not know you like some of us did and I hope you are ok.

Life never goes quite how you expect ... and allies don't always come from expected quarters.

But sometimes, sitting down with another person and a warm cup of tea is exactly what you need to ground yourself, for whatever comes next.

Or else sitting down with another person to throw your hands in the air and shout swear words at the ceiling, possibly. You know. Whichever works for you.

Relationship Note on Niklas

It is rather disappointing to see that a Prince of the Compact has nothing better to do than take jabs at some commoner in the Whites repeatedly.

I can assure the Compact that Pravus will do better.

We will give you leaders that inspire.

I feel that I have found myself in a routine. It is not a bad one. I walk the paths I normally walk. I talk to the people I normally talk to. I think it is a good time to reflect on where and who I have been with and expand that. Life is full of such excitement and such adventure. I cannot wait to find it all. Even in the heat. I love the heat.

On this day, the Lowers breathes just a little easier.

A prayer for the newborn:

Mother of Beginnings, Protector of the Wheel,
We honor your touch with heartfelt zeal;
Queen of the Twilight, Spinner of Souls,
We thank you for this gift, tiny and whole.

Mother of Beginnings, Guardian of Spirit,
We sing now your praise and pray that you hear it
For there is nothing more precious to you or I
Than a life new in the cradle, low-born or high-

A new life, a new hope, a new opportunity,
A chance at choice to grace our community
We sing now of welcome to the child, this gift,
and in hymnal to you our voices will lift

Mother of Beginnings, Protector of the Wheel,
In this moment of joy a new future's revealed,
and we honor your grant of this new beginning--
for each blessed day the Wheel keeps on spinning.

Perhaps one day we may meet for tea and I will tell you all about it.

I'm going home soon! Home! And I get to drag people with me! Sort of...And I'm going with Aella and Cadern. Maybe I can bring Triton and Danvir back to the city with me..In a trunk. I'll just reassure it's another adventure. They cant cant be mad at me then. Right?

I don't hate everything, it is just that my sense of displeasure is a widely expanding net.

Relationship Note on Orathy

So Orathy's finally disappeared. To be honest, this took longer than I expected... I think he shot his mouth off one too many times. I feel bad for his family though. Never easy to lose someone, especially literally lose them with no kind of idea what happened.

Relationship Note on Gaston

I am gratified that your experience in the Shrine of Tehom was beneficial for you. If there is anything I can do to continue to be of assistance, you have only to reach out, and I would be delighted.

Time I start to sail back to the Compact. By the time this entry reaches the Scholars, I'll already be making my way back. Not directly, perhaps. Still, it's time. People to meet, bridges to build, wounds to mend... or to make anew.

Honest question.

Was your grandmother that impressed with a five year old Juliet Fidante?

Or were you not named until your teens?

Either makes for an interesting fact worth sharing.

Relationship Note on Mabelle

Though I’m certain you meant black or white (not ‘and’ which is the very definition of gray), i agree, yes, a single dichotomy is insufficient to describe our reality.

Enough dichotomies, however, and you have painter’s palette.

We get closer.

On that palette colors, with contrast there is clarity, purity, but that purity is as insufficient to describe reality as any of its lone compatriots, and still muddy at the heart where all things mix, which feels true but is likewise indistinct and insufficient.

I will not make foray into the act of Will in how an Artist chooses a color or colors, suffice to say to say that they do and very, very close to a painting, the whole of the world is yellow or orange or blue. Further away that mote is a single flower in a meadow or the glint of sun on the water.

To me the notion isn’t ‘is it this color or that color or some mix of the two,’ so much as: how close am I to what I’m observing?

I’ve been to the Painted Muse quite a bit recently. Recommended.

The Shrine of the Thirteenth has almost never seen my worship, and I have always carried an Oathlander's healthy deep wariness of the place. It's just...creepy as hell in there, isn't it?

But when looking for answers, sometimes the best place to start is by considering your own reflection, and contemplating your questions until the truth comes to you.

I pray in solemn thanks to Tehom for the glance I was granted, and I will always remember that joyous battlecry, alone but /free./

Nothing is black or white. The more I discover the clearer it is that everything is gray.
