The Eidolon Gallery opening tonight, though I couldn't stay as long as I wanted, was lovely and the art fascinating, though I can't say I liked it all. But then, no one enjoys all art. If they did, it would be quite pointless.
Also, I have been noticing quite a variety of tamed animal companions here in the city, not the least Caith's dog. I can't say that a dog appeals to me, but an animal in general? Perhaps a cat. That would suit me...

Two weeks ago I was but a drunk and a lout.
Now I am a drunken scholar and a loutish explorer.
What could tomorrow hold?

I have taken it upon myself to use my connections to find the Salon some funding. About twenty different peers ...or merchants who WANT to be peers... have promised a few hundred silver a week to the Salon.
Thank the gods, we can all drink freely.

I have decided to get a dog. A /well behaved/ dog. And maybe, just maybe, Princess Caith will see what a well mannered, trained animal is meant to be like:
Intelligent.
Quiet.
Self sufficient.
My staff has asked me if I would consider myself a "dog person", which is an odd question; I am a human being. One suggested a cat. Another offered me a very fine looking pebble.
...maybe I'll just slather my face in some kind of mild poison so when Stumphrey leaps up to li-- wait. These are the whites.
Everything's fine.

After taking a well-deserved vacation (Note: Vacations in the Lyceum are the best) it's good to be back in the city again. Looking forward to new contracts as a Blade, met some rather interesting people, and, of course, got referred to as Felicia's little brother roughly a dozen times in a day. If she wasn't someone to (grudgingly) look up to, that'd probably be tiresome. But we walk our own paths, and I've more than a few to pursue.

Dearest Sister-in-Law,
I do not long for that day that Marius longs for... because I know that you two would never be happy that way. Though remember, paybacks can be a bear! I wonder what tales Marian has on you...

Relationship Note on Marian
Let me tell you a story, Scholar, about the one and only time I have seen my sister blush.
She was 12, I think, and his name was Sir Davin. He was the most glorious of wandering knights, with hair of tawny perfection and a body you'd have had to be dead not to appreciate.
Someone (I really couldn't say who it was that would do such a thing) let slip that the beautiful Sir Davin bathed entirely naked in the river running just outside Greenhaven at the same time every morning. That same someone (again, identity unknown to me) was on hand the very next morning to catch Marian Greenmarch in the underbrush along the river, and she wasn't looking for grubs, I'll tell you that much!
Someone (horrible person) thought it might be prudent to alert the unsuspecting paragon, Sir Davin, of Marian's presence by tossing large rocks at the brush.
Scholar, when she stumbled out of those bushes to confront the naked knight, her cheeks were brighter than her hair. It was glorious. Well worth the beating someone got later that day for being the worst little sister ever to walk the land.

But Audric, what will they gossip about if you deny the rumors of a lurid affair?
I think I'm good on the people being prodded by swords end but--should you ever need me to rabble rouse some people in your favor, I'm your girl.
...Wait does this mean I can stop paying you to be my friend now?

Plus side, you and I both know we never actually fucked. Just the cost of my betrayal. I'm not yours anymore, Princess, more's the pity, but I will always be your friend. Should you need me, I have my sword. Should some idiot for some reason try to rabble folks around you, well. It's been a minute. I think I've still god it.

Relationship Note on Audric
I would say that Audric deserves his barony for many, many reasons.
But as I'm oft accused of letting commoners bed me in exchange for titles--I'll simply say that he is and always will be my favorite sellsword.
And honestly? Those people deserved much, much worse.

There is no greater feeling than the ability to explore some place new, especially a place that's deeply rooted in history. Or, undertaking a journey that seems to have incredible odds stacked against you, and coming away from it safely. These are some of the things it means to be an Explorer, and yet so much more too. I hope that I get to discover a great many more things in the coming months, and even get to share those experiences with the young one that grows within me. What better way to grow the future's next little Explorer than to continue to do what one loves best?
But, there I go getting wordy. A piece of advice to future Explorers... bring the unexpected with you in your preparations. Sometimes, you never know when a plush fox, a carved dragon figurine, a few books, pie, some mead, and tea might mean to you or others while out on your journey. Not in any particular order, of course. And, not specifically those items. Make your own choices of unexpected things to bring, along with the usual Explorer gear.
Now I must prepare myself for my next great adventure. I will have to see who can teach me a bit more about linguistics so I can learn a few more languages. An Explorer's preparations never end.

As beautiful, brave and gracious a companion as I could have asked for in exploring the wonders of the shadow carnival.
At another of these large Lycene affairs a couple years back, I met one of my dearest friends while in the company of another who was there with me tonight as well. I think that might bode well for bonds forged amid such fantasy and frivolity. I hope that it does.

I attended my first Shadow Carnival and got to spend the evening with one of my most cherished friends and her husband. It is never a dull moment when it is spent with Lady Cadenza.
The Shadow Carnival itself was wonderful, too. I got to reach my hand into the murky unknown and pull out a little treasure. Not sure what I shall do with it, but it is a nice keepsake from a night of shadows and mystery.
