Has anyone lost a pet bear recently?
Is anyone stupid enough to keep a pet bear?
Ugh.

I only award gold stars to people for extreme and obvious stupidity, so I'm glad to see that Thena is keeping that Grayhope tradition alive.

Relationship Note on Thena
By the way it's been reading, it sounds like the orphans have been teaching your relatives how to gamble.

Is it a bad thing that the fact that my relatives are teaching the orphans under my Order's care to drink and gamble is the least of my worries right now?

I grew up drinking beer. All my friends drink beer. I turned out JUST FINE.
Let the archives of history show that this crazy belief that children can't have beer is just ridiculous. If a kid can't hold their beer then they'll puke it back up. Plain and simple.
Fuckin' little card shark took eighty-seven of my silver. I hope he pukes on his beer.
Need to adopt that kid.

I want to be clear that I only stopped teaching them poker because that kid got lucky on the river and wiped me out. One hundred silver! In one hand.
Otherwise, it was a really great idea.

What a week. I haven't had a chance to write much in a while. Figure I ought to catch up.
I love kids, especially orphans. Spending time at the Tragedy's been part of my daily routine for a long time. I grew up there. Been an orphan as long as I can remember. I was told that my parents worked there when I was a baby though. It's just been part of my life for a long time. Reckon helping there is my way of giving back. Same reason that I help the Knights of Solace.
Then I started a project to try and get things more organized. Helps the orphans not just at the Tragedy, but at a bunch of the orphanages. It's been a lot of work, but worth every bit of it. Seeing all their faces, smiling and happy, and spending time with them makes it worth it to me.
So all that happened at the Tragedy is hard to deal with. Hard to accept. Real hard. I grew up knowing Brother Martin too. Gonna miss him.
But there hasn't been time to even think on it. Magpie is the best. He let us put all of them up at the Murder. Whether he did it for me or for Thena, who knows. I reckon it's a bit of both. Either way I'm real grateful. So, between Sir Daemon and I, we've been dealing with the kids non-stop for days. Chaos doesn't start to descripe each and every day. Don't think I've slept more than a few hours here or there. And lots of other people have been helping too (even Magpie and Mayir though they've needed a little coaching on tending kids... such as not giving them beer or teaching them to play poker). All of the people that have helped deserve a big thanks. So, thank you!
Then I heard last night that things wrapped up on my project. Haven't even had time to think about it this week. Can't say how happy I am that it went off so well. For all those that helped with it, I'm real grateful. Can't think of better people than the Iron Guard or the Knights of Solace. I'm proud to work with them.
At some point all of this is gonna come crashing down on my heart and I'll have a good cry or maybe just get really drunk well away from kids someplace. But I'll deal with that when it comes.

Relationship Note on Austen
A lot has, indeed, happened with you as of late. I do not note enough how very proud I am to be Austen Ferron's sister. How truly and sincerely proud I am of you and all you accomplish. That you always know to give me coffee before speaking at the beginning of the day marks you as my favorite person in Arx, if not all of Arvum. It's the little things.
When in doubt of what to write going forward, though, you could always talk about your wonderful, if oft cranky, sister.

That's decided.
I need to hire a Nanny to my little Caprice. She can not grow up as a girl who hides behind her mother's skirt for the rest of her life.
I love her and it will be very difficult since I spent a year closely keeping my eye on Caprice, but she is already a big girl. She is over a year!
I also need to go back to my works...

I attended a lovely gathering at the Ashford Orangery, where I made several new acquaintances. The results of Lady Olivia's work are astounding; what a charming place to spend time. And useful, too! She is to be commended.
Softest Saedrus has a deft hand with illustration; the cards for the little game were excellently executed. Very pretty.

Relationship Note on Delilah
Absolutely one of my favorite people I have met as of late, I should have known Lady Delilah would be as wonderful as her sister, just in a different kind of way. Whether dancing on moss, writing or reciting poetry on the spot, or making witty and quirky observations, she does her family as much justice as Lady Kenna.

Always when I imagine the actual action of 'art' or 'creation', it starts with a lump of clay and the recreation of a face.
I stroke open the hollow for the eyes, sculpt in the brows and the lids, the slope of a nose, the cleft of the upper lip, the mouth, the curve of a jaw. Art starts with a person, the shape of a person. To me in my mind, art starts there, in the gaze of someone else, the beginning of a life of my own making.
The face is always the same. Me and not me. An innocence so sharp it's almost raw.
Perhaps I should make a series of brooches, the face in my mind that comes to life in those loose moments between inspiration, a pearl hanging from her lips, enameled eyes, gold-leafed lips.
Something to consider.
