Lumen has won a sort-of commission from me. I’ve never really done a commission, and even though she only gets to select a theme for the painting, I’m still nervous.

Also did I hear someone trying to buy Priorities of a Marquessa? I can’t hardly believe it. Will that be my legacy? I’m horrified.

Relationship Note on Monique

I went to a Lycene event and met a spider; a quite lovely one, at that. Though for all the loveliness of her webbed gown, I find that the 'Minx of the Marches' moniker to be particularly apt. Here's to a lovely new friendship! I hope to see her again soon.

Marian,

Oh I will definitely remind you then. If you have any on Marius, that would be a lovely bonus too!

This promises to be fun.

Khan. A new dog I have taken mastership over since joining with the Blades. He's a smart beast, but there are times when I wonder if he's just too big. He blunders into everything trying to play, knocking over a few of my armor stands down in the shop.

I've officially joined with the Crimson Blades. I am going to be operating under a support role as animal trainer, medic, and leather armor smith, but still it is a step that I had not been sure that I would take at first. We'll see how it goes.

Relationship Note on Luca

'How to hold your liquor' was going to be my next suggestion.

Since you offered a drink: I've discovered something of a liking for Setarco Fire. Perhaps liking isn't the right word. An appreciation of its challenge, let's say. It holds less of one than Foolsbane, of course, but the immediate risk is no less grave of feeling, even if it's only a theoretical rather than a realistic one.

Business at Spirit Leather

It has been surprising the amount of work that I have received at the shop. I am eternally grateful to those who have come and entrusted me with their orders and given me the chance to prove myself as a crafter. I had not foreseen this life for myself even a year ago, but I am thankful for the direction that my life has gone. I have created and sold one full set of high quality leathers, and have a mask on order for someone else. The Crimson Blades will be sending me their work as well. I can already see that I will be very busy.

I cannot overstate my delight, gratitude and pride at how well the Eidolon Gallery opening went. The gallery was graced with esteemed guests and all engaged in curious and compelling conversations about the art itself, some who found it provocative, others who thought it weird. That it inspired such diverse responses pleases me so deeply, the discussions which come from viewing such works are the entire purpose for putting them on display.

Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate with me, to everyone who participated in the raffle, to everyone who risked unsettled sleep to take in the strange and wonderful works of some of Arvum's finest artists.

The gallery will remain open now; all are welcome to come visit at their leisure. Artists interested in having their work--whatever form it takes--shown in the gallery, whether as part of a brief exhibition or the permanent collection, are encouraged to contact me.

I am grateful to have the opportunity to share this art with Arx, and I hope it inspires a great many more conversations.

Relationship Note on Derovai

The sword, of course. Are you implying that I'm better at much else? Remind me to buy you a drink for that, you silver-tongued charm beast.

I hesitate to ask, Your Highness, but in what capacity are they students of yours? So many possibilities to be named.

I've picked up four new students this week. I'm going to need a second me. One to do all the napping, and another to handle all the work. I think we know how that would go, though. Then you'd just be tripping over two of me, stretched out together, wine-drunk and languid. Alas, it is what it is.

Turns out my request for tea somehow changed into a tour of the Velenosa grounds in the company of one a Grayson prince. Talk shifted from weaponry lessons to something more conversational. I still find it hard to talk about my past, and likely will for a while, but it gets easier with each retelling. I suspect the same could be say of drinking. I have a feeling I'll be doing more of that should I decide to continue my lessons.

Sometimes it helps to know that some of the things you were worrying about are just your imagination. With so many things worth being worried about uncertainty can get the better of you. Nobody should need constant reassurances, but sometimes people do need the right ones.

Thanks to those who helped me pull my head out of my nethers, I'll try not to let it happen again.

Relationship Note on Jayeth

If you need to ask Jayus for inspiration, you know where to turn. I mean, if you want to! Don't feel obligated. But if your faith calls you to do so, you are quite welcome to stop by the Shrine. I'll have tea ready, though be prepared for a kitten. Well, he's almost a real cat now.

Today was shockingly busy at Hammer Down, I was visited by a parade of princesses each as lovely as the next, one of them commissioned an astounding project I can't wait to start on. No sooner than I had a vague idea of what I would do another customer asked me to create another gift, it must still be gift season! I'm feeling overwhelmed, but Jayus will provide inspiration I have faith.

Guys, guys. C'mon.

I /drink/ but I am rarely /drunk/. A gentleman simply needs his armor to gird himself against this bad old world.

To be sure, though I may have joined the scholars and the explorers, I am, and will always be, firstly and foremost a builder of worlds, a weaver of tales, a dreamer of dreams and any number of other cloying ways to say 'playwright' that are even now giving my good friend Master Bastien a migraine.

- Lady Shae gave me one of the pendants from the Oriel woodlands. It's a beautiful thing. The curse is broken, and I'm glad of it; I wear it, for the moment, though I should really give it to those who can appreciate the history far more.

Relationship Note on Eshra

I'm not sure if I'll ever get the sound of bells out of my ears. Between the ones the apprentices made, and the three large that I crafted, the shop still rings in the aftermath. Spread out I am sure they are not so bad. When all in one place? No.
