This woman is the strongest lady that I know. I may not be the best husband in ways that many other men probably are, but I know we make a great team regardless... and now she's brought into this world a daughter for us. For this, for Aileyna, Grazia has my deepest affections.

You are always welcome here.
But I already have one fussy-pants-mothery-fluff here, I'm drawing the line at more than that. So sit and let me watch you drink whisky or something. We can share scones.

Now I'm wondering if I need to stop by to visit...and ensure all corners and semi-sharp edges are heavily covered over with cotton stuffing and leather.
Also, to see you, because I haven't for a while.

Your children are ten months old now. Kyllan is already starting to take some steps on his own. Estie crawls faster than he can wobble and does not seem to be in a hurry to walk yet. They both babble and occasionally form a word one can understand. I tell them about you every day, How proud you would be of them.

I got to play with one of the kitchen-maid's babies today. Her first, about ten months old, she says. It's a muffin in a dress and it coos and giggles and smiles no matter what I do. It all started with pretending to be a dog and snuggling at her neck and her hair (it seemed to be a good place to start). I paused on her eyeball, snuffling at it with my nose and that brought out the most of the laughter. Lots of pulling at my hair too, I should have expected that but puppies don't have hands.
Still. I liked her. I look forward to a dozen such siblings, Papa-Norwood and Mother. Get on it.

My sister has returned and with that return she has already seen about trying to run my life. Of course I say this is the adoration that siblings share and while I admit it has been bumpy, there are many resources that I hand over to her willingly so as to have another set of eyes on the current endeavors that Harthall is expanding into.
I trust her and I am looking forward to the skills and results that she brings to the table.

An addendum to my last: Human puppies that -aren't mine-.
Would a longer honeymoon help, mother?

Hiring the Crimson Blades to perform a substantial expedition has been one of my more positive endeavors. I have been pleasantly surprised with their professionalism and their conduct during their work and the tact that had been applied during the course of the adventure per se. I shall look forward to hiring them again soon.

It's been a fortnight and still no word.
I need human puppies to play with, dammit.

We have puppies in two stages: the cute adorable still-mostly-stuck-in-a-pen kind, and the chew-through-everything-cute-bark-impersonating-dumplings-on-legs kind. They are sweet and fun at these stages, but I rather like them as more sedate grown-ups. I can trust Daegmund to curl up with me and nap and not worry about him getting stuck in my boot while I'm trying to sleep.

It's really not that big, why do I keep bumping into things? Hips too, it's like there's suddenly no balance. I had -grace-, gods dammit, where did it go?

We do. I would rather not explain the full details here, for obvious reasons, but mine involved a number of foods and drinks that easily stain, white cotton, reciting a list of rules, all while listening to a conversation and being grilled on both knowledge of what was discussed and what might happen if it gets out after.
For extra challenge, may I suggest she try doing it one-handed? Extra points for singing and dancing.
Week two of Whisper training is undoubtedly a difficult one.

Some days I'm mighty tempted to steal Row from you.

Now one thing I will give all those silks some proper praises for - they do have all the best trainers and training. If you want to learn something, even if it's down and dirty, a silk probably knows all about it. Probably just for the sake of knowing about it...

She is the kind of servant which makes me want to develop some sort of servant gauntlet course just so I can wager and brag when she wins. Mayhap House Whisper has something like that.
I'll need to ask.

Got me a copy of Mistress Perronne's Merchant Almanac.
Don't reckon I've had many books that weren't just for fun reading, but as I don't travel much myself, this may well help with expanding the business.

On the plus side however - all the folks talking means that I do get to hear a lot. Sliks do love to talk - and they end up talking about absolutely anyone and anything. It's like they can't help themselves when they're trying to do anything. They just talk, and talk, and talk.

Dearest Adoptive Grandparents,
I am just writing to see how you are. I have no grand stories for you. Since I keep to a small area.
No, wait, I do have one. Princess Coraline, she is quite grand, had me attend a display with her. It was a man who was selling cures and what have you. Many doubted his skills but I didn't. I am sure he really just wanted to help people. The show he put on was quite a wonder, tough. I can't recall his name.
Anyways, I shall have to write you again another day. I have some work to finish off.
With love,
Sheena
