I need to pull my head out of work. I think I'm going to the event at the Golden Hart tonight, it's been an age since I've been to the Sip and Spar.

The dogs are perfect.

Yes, dogs. I couldn't choose.

I may not have made it to the secret list, but the Oakhaven bloodhounds are plenty big for me. Count Keaton was not joking when he said Ripper had an appetite, though. Goodness.

Petal and I discussed the possibility of having a competition between princesses to see which house has the best princess. She clearly thinks House Redrain would win, though she became unsure when I introduced the fact that there are baby princesses, which have the clear advantage of being among the cutest princesses.

Someone needs to run a Princess Competition.

So many new things to discover and help with. I can't wait for the next adventure!

Relationship Note on Ida

I am going to have to commission an outfit for Lord Talis in green, black, and purple from someone. Might you have recommendations? Once this has been done, we will bring him by your establishment for you to see him. Purple, I imagine, would be quite flattering on him as well.

One day, if I am lucky, I will live to commission a fine blade for Aeryn, Talis, and Kata from you.

So many new beginnings during this time period. So many, in fact, that it has been difficult for me to catch up on my writing.

First and foremost, and perhaps most importantly to myself?

Welcome to the world, Lord Talis Storm Keaton. You are beautiful. I would say that I cannot wait for you to grow up, for I am looking forward to the days when you can be swung easily in my arms and do not appear so fragile, but I cannot write this. No, each and every moment is special and appreciated. You are loved already, little Lord.

Thank you to everyone who reached out to myself or my wife with your congratulations. They are so very appreciated.

I completely forgot about my birthday on the 2nd.

I'm very sad I've missed my chance to guilt Veronica into wearing a pretty dress and having a proper tea party with me to celebrate the occasion.

Maybe next year. Lord Baby Talis Storm Keaton will be having his first birthday so it'll be easier to remember mine, since it's the following day. It's a shame he won't be old enough for tea by then, but I'm sure he'll look cute in a dress.

I have been charged by My Count, as his adviser and the Keeper of the Rivenshari People, to revitalize our ways and our culture that we may come to know our Compact brethren and they know us.

Gleefully, I announce that the first order of business shall be a fashion show!

I've spoken with Master Barik, who approached me to discuss the Lodge and potentially joining it. Some of what he said made me consider how the Lodge has been progressing. On my return, I'll ask him what he has found of us.

It should be illuminating, if nothing else.

I've procured a number of sea cloaks for our travel, and I'm sending them to those who will be travelling. I'm very proud of the design, and I spent time waxing them myself.

Can't have important people getting cold on the trip. Or ruining their silks.

It seems I have a new title now, even if 'Softest' is an unusual word to ever describe me. Except for my hair.

There is a lot of work to do, and my thoughts this week are too jumbled to be able to put down a White fit for public consumption beyond that.

Daily reports, wife. Daily reports.

It feels nice to drop documents on Simone to sign for a change. I could get used to this.

Anya is a decent enough apprentice. The snide remarks and overal contempt is bareable, but I feel like I could take on another apprentice. If you want to be a Champion and study under the best knife fighter in Arx, you should get in touch with me. Accepting interesting people only!

Five days until my birthday. I don't think I thought to live this long. Nor did I think all the things that have happened in the past year would have happened to me.

It has been a year of the greatest joy I have ever known, and the deepest sorrow; a year of family returning, new friends, and laughter; a year in which I have done things I regret, and things I am proud of.

Starting over this year, I keep in the top of my mind the following:

Great things do not come from realms of comfort, and when there is nothing left to lose, there is everything to gain.

Relationship Note on Jonathan

You looked like you'd walked into a door. Repeatedly. You were a complete state. But as far as I'm aware you didn't sing any vulgar songs, so that's a small mercy for the happy couple, at least.

Had a lovely wedding reception I went to for Lord Ian and his (very pretty and capable) new wife. It was really very nice, for a noble reception. There was booze, a good bit of talk, and a free-for-all tournament!

I came in a respectable third, ahead of Prince Luca (if only by luck and chance, i admit) but behind Prince Barric and Lord Wash, if only just. It was a /very/ good bout, even if my wife was a bit agitated about the many, many, /many/ bruises I received from it.

And I got an excellent bottle of liquor out of it!

Relationship Note on Orazio

The crotchety old Master I apprenticed with to learn the fine art of brewing had an idea of lessons: watch you fail, punish you, and then give short snippets of wisdom you had to dissect. I won't write down the particulars of the story that led to this little slice of wisdom, and I'll leave out a bit of the more colorful language he utilized, but in essence he said: 'Venturo, make it for the people you don't see, not the ones you do.' While we have yet to meet face to face, I know the Legate has had the opportunity to become intimately familiar with my craft. It is my intent that every drink crafted has such a compelling story in both its name and the taste to back it up, that you never need actually meet me to understand who I am, and the quality put into the craft. The Legate's help in an endeavor has been invaluable, and I appreciate both his assistance and his own appreciation for a good drink.
