Relationship Note on Viviana
One of the more amusing things I've found myself doing with Viviana is discussing and imagining potential futures.
And one of the more delightful things is that we can do so. I have hopes, and dreams, and... I think that is a good thing.

In my first steps towards becoming more than nust a soldier, a warrior, and a smith, I'm seeking out tutors to... Teach me how to tutor people. I remember well the training I received from many luminaries of their fields when I first came to Arx, and I look forward to paying that forward.
In other news, that means I'm looking for good teachers. If anyone has services to offer, I'm sure they know how to reach me if they're reading my whites.

Every suggestion was carefully considered (Or I may have written them all down, put it up on the wall and thrown a dagger blindly at the general area), and the name Danior was finally chosen.
His list of titles follow:
King of Cuddles
Prince of the Paw
Archduke of Squee
Admiral of the Jubilant Seas
Grand Vizier of Hearts
High Lord of Adorableland
Lord Conqueror of Yarn
Duke of Furniture-related Destruction
Marquis of the Sharp Claw
Baron of Purr
Knight of Nuzzles
In his great wisdom, Danior consents to being called familiarly 'Danior', as a show of his great love for all in Arx.
All hail Danior.

I wasn't able to make it to the Grayson Ceremony celebrating the victory in the recent war, but I nonetheless received a small parcel containing some tokens from Princess Reese. I am ever grateful. And I wish I'd been there.

Relationship Note on Saoirse
Saoirse and I had a debate today on whether or not Stumphrey is wonderful. She took the 'Against' position, and I took the 'Stumphrey is the best' side.
I won.
It was glorious.

Happiest of almost birthdays, Lady Khanne! I shall endeavor to find something truly special for your day, but as well wanted to mark my words publicly. Truly, we should have some sort of celebration for all of us Northern women born in the summer, hmm?

Relationship Note on Itzal
My darling brother has found a kitten. More likely the cat found him, and he's now responsible for it. This is worth mentioning in the journals because this is the first time my brother has been responsible for anything else in his entire life. I do hope he does well.
And brother, you seek a name for your kitty?
How about Furen?
Get it. Fur-en?

Lots of talk to proteges and patrons of late. Lots of promises what can be given and what is expected. How lucky am I to have found a patron that expects not a thing!
Though he better make good on that monthly dinner.

Before the hour arrives, I thought it important to record my thoughts about the Nox'alfar Embassy opening.
First and foremost, I am honored to have been given the chance to see this project through to the end. It has been a labor of love, something I have thought nothing else of since it's inception. It has kept me awake, it has made me frustrated to no end, it has made me cry and laugh and find joys in the small nuances that is life. I have learned so much regarding the Nox'alfar, grown to appreciate their humor (cheers to whomever keeps moving all the furniture around after I have set up the main hall time and time again), and worried over causing insult that was never intentional either by being too much or far too little.
I can not express how honored I was to work with everyone who helped make the Embassy what it is. The city truly came together to sponsor the building and designing of each room and I can not be prouder of the never ending work and dedication seen in making this not only a building but a symbol of our continued alliance with the Nox'alfar.
In the end, it is what it is. I can do no more but open the doors to the Embassy and welcome the city within it's halls to see what countless hours have created. Then, a long needed vacation.

My birthday is mere days away. I just noticed, really. I don't pay much attention to the date usually, but as I sit here skimming over some of the most recent white journals, the date caught my attention.
It is that time for me to look back at the past year again. So much has happened, for good and bad.
Stormwall was one of the hardest fought battles I have ever experienced first hand, and telling that many families that their loved one would not return to them... was humbling and difficult. I am ever proud of the resilience of our people in the face of hardship. I can never thank them enough for their sacrifices, but at the same time... I know I don't need to. We do what we must for the good of all, for the strength of the Compact.
I have formed even stronger bonds to friends who are like family to me. I have progressed my own studies and helped to guide others. I have worked so hard.... I often say, I'd like a small vacation, a break... but the truth is (and everyone who knows me knows this, I am sure), I wouldn't be able to relax knowing there are things that need my attention. And still, always, there are too many things that need my attention. The Spirit Walkers has exploded with new members. New shamans and spiritualists who have come to the city. Others who have recently returned. I look back to those years ago when the four of us, Drea, Rowan, Cybele, and myself, worked to begin our little group. And now, with so many here, so many involved... I realize the org has to change a bit to accommodate the growth. It has outgrown its original purpose, and over the next few weeks, I hope to have things hammered out a bit more.
Of course, the biggest change in my life is that I am married. Even now, I can't help but smile writing that. Lord Percephon Halfshav has filled my life with so much love and happiness, I truly cannot believe how lucky I am to be wed to him. He has already worked so hard for Halfshave, for Redrain. We are, truly, the perfect match. However, I know people don't like gushing much in journals, so... I shall put any further sentiments today in my blacks. But my, how far we have come. Thank you, Perce. For everything.
And Happy Birthday to me.

Relationship Note on Natalia
Though I have been in Arx for close to two years now, I had never taken the time to visit Whisper House. There was an endeavor of mine that I sought assistance with and though I initially was uncertain, I found myself pleasantly surprised with the result of the conversation. If you ever have a project that you wish advice on, or perhaps aid, please do yourself a favor and visit Whisper House. Or at least call upon Natalia Whisper.

Princess Reese gifted me a delightful ring for my service in the latest campaign. I'll wear it with pride and with the full understanding that it is but a simple token of appreciation from her.
Fulfilling an obligated duty is always sweeter when lasting recognition is given, no matter simple the gesture or momento.
She understands the purpose behind the Greater in None Greater is ultimately intended to inspire and forge the path forward.

The Memorial Quilt project has gone so remarkably well. It's an idea my mother originally suggested when I was visiting with her in Farhaven and I've been so humbled by the response I've had from all kinds of people as I've gotten it moving down in Arx. I think I've made one or two contacts through this that will definitely be able to call on in the future as well.
For now though, I'm looking forward to seeing the finished piece! Some of the quilted squares I've seen thus far have been incredibly beautiful and personal. I'm quite sure the finished thing will be even more moving.

Thank you so much to Princesses Alis and Reese for their kind words. Really, though, I only volunteered to look at all the artwork in the jewelry and paintings and whatnot. It's all right to admit that, isn't it?
If anyone else needs help handing out art, please feel free to contact the Shrine of Jayus -- especially if it's a matter where I don't have to talk quite so much!

Little Aviana is in Arx now. Now that she's grown maybe we will become friends. I remember her coming down to the spars and jousts all the time. It is good to reconnect with her.
Please note that the scholars may take some time preparing your journal for others to read.
