Relationship Note on Galen

Speaking of you being a parent, I met The Little Prince Kyrios a few days ago, and I was instantly smitten. I unofficially declare myself his unofficial uncle in spirit.

I was quite happy to helpd judge the beard contest. Being a northern woman the beard is standard, and I like to think my appraisal of beardly worth is good. With that said, it was a very tough competition. There was big, there was fluffy, there was exceptional grooming and bling, and more. I look forward to the next one. Hopefully my husband can compete in the next one.

Do you consider that actually winning the contest, though? I don't!

It should be no surprise to anyone that I was named the Best Beard at the Beards & Brews. I even think I'll let it continue to grow out so that I remain wholly unchallenged for the next go 'round.

The week has been a busy one for me. By all accounts the Crafters' Gallery opening was a great success. I am told that Whisper River cut a very fine figure in my work, indeed. I must confess I should have liked to have seen that for myself. I'm grateful to Guild Mistress Joscelin for giving me the opportunity to have my work showcased alongside such other great artisans.

While it's a shame I missed that and the Grayson dinner, it has been for a good cause. I have been working on some sketches for a costume for the masquerade, and I believe I will have a couple ready to send out for feedback.

I confess that it's hard not to just get caught up in looking out over the bay and getting lost in memories. Every now and then, those memories take over, of what I used to be able to do, turning into thoughts of what...isn't, anymore. It feels better to be engaged in something a little more tangible. Needle and thread, stitching through cloth and leather, making new creations...it's a healing thing.

I'll have you know, I have it on good authority that the winner of the Beards Competition ... was -ME-.





















Yes, scholar. I am quite drunk.

Relationship Note on Arik

The Iron Guard can't be everywhere no matter how many members they have, and they can't protect people from every danger either. Although it's hardly just northern associated nobles that die in alleyways. To echo someone else, those are just the ones that get noticed.

Today I saw someone I have not laid my eye upon in quite some time. It is good to know they are doing well, but there is still there is a faint ache. The only thing worse from a friendship drifting apart, is one that does so because it must.

I found out tonight that my beard is not nearly as full as others.

That's fine. Probably not the best idea that a surgeon have long facial hair.

Unless you want random hairs in your stitches.

I know few that work harder than the Keatons. I consider them to be one of my few close friends. So to be able to attend the Assembly of Peers, and see their ascension brings me great joy. It is well earned, and to see hard work rewarded is also heartening. Well done, both of you!

I went to my first beard judging today. It was all very chaotic and I am not sure what happened. But the cider was very good.

Here is to a year of strange new experiences. For example, this is the first time I've both worn a beard and been drunk at the same time.

I blame Geralt. He offended my honor. Or. Something. I can't remember.

To the kind noblewoman that let me shear her pet sheep:

The beard I made from the wool was a great hit. Your frequent use of sandalwood lent a lovely smell to me that was enjoyed by my competitors. I owe you more than I can possibly repay.
