Oh! See Nova! Some people think trying to stay alive is silly and funny! Very, very Compacty people, too!

Shepherd Manor's feeling like it's getting the life breathed back into it of late. Air in the dining hall smelled of damp leather and salt and I knew it immediately that it was Bonnie. Aside from that, well, those boot-prints tracking all the way into the hallways. There's something else - someone else - my cousin Kaiden's newly returned from his own adventuring as well. I look forward to connecting with him after all these months. And I heard that Wyatt's been talking about meetings and money and numbers.

Like I said: the life's coming back in Shepherd manor.

Can't wait til spring.

I'm of the opinion that STUFF simply begins to multiply as soon as you move into a room with another person. I'm reasonably certain that Ainsley's various medals and awards and breeding with my trinkets and brooches. I have no other explanation for how much stuff we have littering our quarters. And so of course when I try to find my perfumes, who even knows where they are! I hate to set the staff on it, it's not like the clutter is any of their doing.

Rats.

Relationship Note on Joscelin

Sometimes a crafter's work inspires me to order an entire outfit designed just so that I have something that will show it off appropriately.

While of course I favor buying things after my own taste, nothing makes me happier than observing fine artistry based on what the crafter chose, herself, to create. In addition to making the purchase, I felt inspired to donate to the Faith in honor of Jayus in her name.

My steel my heart, a Hammer Fan Club.

Get it?!

More truly, I am hopeful that the realm will see all manner of amazing new smiths come up much as I think I have over these twenty plus years. I am grateful to Greenmarch for allowing me the opportunity to teach what I love to a new generation, of sorts.

Now that Princess Lara is a year old, I look forward to hearing her speak. The wordless yowl of consternation with which she greets her breakfast regardless of what it is has begun to get several of the staff down. It's not that there's anything shocking that a child of mine is quite good at screaming but the obstinate silence in which she wreaths herself much of the rest of the time can be distressing.

It is a wonder how little one toddler is like another. I thought Asharion was a picky eater but he has certainly met his match in sheer contrarianism.

Relationship Note on Archeron

After an announcement comes planning! I have to say, I'm quite excited.

And aren't you the kindest Lord there is. I read your words, I appreciate them and think highly of you.

The expansion of civilization demands the expansion of civilization. Those who build roads will always need those who build walls, and those who build walls will always need those who go beyond them. My role in that cycle is taking form and I must say I find myself fond of it.

Imagine being so insecure and scared to lose a duel that you need to specify ridiculous terms to try and swing an advantage, spend weeks with your husband trying to learn how to get better deals on stupidly expensive materials, hire extra labor to turn all that material into lavish arms and armor, and pay people to borrow their jewelry.

It's honestly pretty hilarious.

I spoke to my cousin recently about a number of important matters. Our family is not known for its displays of affection, and I had always considered myself something of a burden, to my parents and perhaps to the Duchess as well. Hearing her words was moving, and later, when I returned to Stormwall, shortly after being named Voice, my father smiled at me for the first time that I can remember. Though I thought I wouldn't care, it felt good to be acknowledged as something other than a disappointment. I will repay the faith the Duchess has put in me a thousand fold.

When I returned to Arx, I found out that Duke Harlan challenged me to a duel. Though I can understand why he did it, I must admit it made me miserable in a way I have seldom felt. Though I cannot claim to know the Duke well at all, the Ashford family has treated me with kindness and acceptance. I have fought beside Lady Rhiannon and Lord Quintin, and I have a great deal of respect for the skill and wit of Lord Pharamond. The Duchess Lisebet had always treated me kindly as well. It is even more painful because my relationship with Lady Olivia is not founded on mere attraction or idle promises. It had been a deep friendship, founded on trust, admiration and sincere affection. We have saved each other's lives, stood together against agents of the Abyss, and shared many happy memories. It is agonizing to see that trust fraying and our bond ripped away.

Things proceed as they must. My sincere gratitude to those who have shown me friendship in my time of need. Your kindness will not be forgotten.

I must commend Count Fournier on his honorable actions regarding the outcome of his duel with my esteemed sister, Princess Marian. Greenmarch is stronger for such a steadfast and understanding new ally. Count Gael is truly well-endowed with wisdom.

Well, I guess the betrothal is announced - so people can know why I have been smiling these few days. As well as being to a graceful and sharp lady who will strengthen Tyde greatly, and one who is most kind and sweet, it is also good to strengthen the old bonds between Tyde and the people of Redrain. They have been steadfast friends in our past, and it is great to be able to renew those ties and hopefully show how highly we think of them.

Now I just have to think what food suitably merges northlands and the Isles for the reception. Ah, a fun challenge.

Relationship Note on Delilah

Good company is good for making a .. good.. morning. Which is fine. Tea isn't usually what I want to start the middle of the morning with but dear Duchess' is pretty lively conversation.
