I have been lonely lately. With Wynna and Echo busy, and Violet busier than even they, my only source of companionship is Mistress Atreke. To be sure, she is possessed of a prodigious intelligence, analytical and keen--yet conversations with her seem more a /flensing/ than a discussion. She is as a surgeon, or a harlequin, peeling away skin to gaze dispassionate upon the workings within.

And so I have been lonely, with little to occupy my time. I believe I shall go spar.

Relationship Note on Joscelin

I had the distinct privilege of meeting Joscelin Arterius, Guildmaster of the Crafter's Guild.

She is a shrewd woman with unmatched integrity and loyalty to her peers; decidedly gracious and of singular company.

That we should be so lucky!

Though the past week and some have been a whirlwind I am feeling on top of things still. I had worried that perhaps I would be swept away and never find ground again, but it seems that I was well prepared for this. Let it not be said the Crimson Blades weren't always as prepared as we can be for any given situation. I shall endeavor to make sure the newest recruits, among them my brother, are as well.

He is not the only new recruit. Despite what has happened it seems that the efforts I made are bearing fruit. Some of it quiestionable, but we shall see how they shape up. They will either make it through our training or they won't. One thing is sure they'll emerge having learned something. I make sure of that.

Relationship Note on Niklas

Likely a hangover and me bringing you coffee and orange juice around two in the afternoon. I look forward to not having that particular sisterly duty anymore. As much as I adore you, sometimes a daily routine get old. You could take one night off you know.

It's been a lovely bit of time! Between the wedding, reconnecting with my nieces, making good new friends and finding interesting places to drink, I cannot complain. Life is rather good, I just wish I had been able to make the Shadow Carnival, the only regret on an otherwise splendid time.

Relationship Note on Elgana

I got to see this lovely woman not once but twice!! I'm so glad to have her as a friend. Now that things have slowed down I'll be making more time to see my friends...her being one of them.

And don't forget, your highness.....rigidity is only important when it counts the most.

Relationship Note on Mirari

I'm glad!! No thanks is needed....it's the least I could do.

And good....because they're not mine and I don't want to be harassed about where to find them.

Relationship Note on Isolde

I'm pretty sure you get all that money back in taxes, anyway! So sure! And you haven't needed to pay me to be your -friend- in aaaaages. That was just to make sure I didn't get bored and wander off.

Maybe one of these days if you drink hard enough, you'll actually be able to become a drunken playwright.

I thought you were meant to be attempting a life as a drunken playwright? Your dedication is lacking.

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.

One never quite knows how precious one of these senses are until they lose them. I've never felt quite so helpless. Do not like.

I am sorry to have missed last night's Shadow Carnival. I hear it went splendidly.
