The journey from Lyon's Redoubt to Arx was a considerable one, but it was well worth the distance traveled, just to expand my horizons and take in sights and places I have never before seen. I arrived at Lyonesse Chateau as of yesterday afternoon, and for the duration of the Marquessa's absence it has been decided that my duty and responsibility is to act as her Voice. It was a position I had not anticipated in the slightest, but I am determined to study and learn what is necessary to act in her stead. Already I have encountered several kind people who have given advice and guidance, and for their good will I am very grateful. It is my hope I will encounter many more along the way, and when time permits, venture out into the city proper to explore. I have been told the menagerie is a must-see location, but what else is out there, I wonder? I am eager to find out.

Didn't expect to be sent a an entry of the whites about myself, not today. Thank you, Merek. I don't think I deserve your friendship or your admiration, but it humbles me nonetheless. Thank you.

Relationship Note on Arn
I sincerely worry about the health of anyone that might hold their breath waiting for my father to be anything except what he is. Fortunately, I have grown desensitized to it over time and the simple truth is that I like him just the way he is. He's done wonders for the sharpening of my wit as I grew up for certain!

The Guildmaster is a wonderful friend, and I find my own self hoping that she comes back and creates more new things eventually. I quite like the designs that she comes up with. When I came back and settled in from the war, she helped me with acclimating back in. She supports all of us within the Guild well.

I am happy that colder seasons will be coming, and look forward to making my fireplace more useful. I know I'm not like many others, who quite like the spring and summer, and well to an extent, I do also, however I like it when it's winter and rainy.

If I was a man or had a man-ish body to cover, I'd only order from Aaron. His work is -spectacular-.

I would write complimentary things about Duke Arn but he'd probably think I was being facetious.. I'm not. I do enjoy his terse and straight to the damn point ways; but then again that's how I am.

Soon I'm off to Southport. The last time I was there... let's just say there's a spot on the docks they say they can't clean the blood off of no matter how they scrub.
I still see that spot in my nightmares. There's very little that helps me sleep at night and most of that I'm under orders to cut back on because of the stupid baby. The one avenue left to me is, well, let's say not fit for public journals, and with my anti social behavior it's not very frequent.

Apparently, the Duke of Telmar could not imagine anyone in the entire Compact who would be willing to defend his honor against the charge of being a crotchety old fussbudget.

House Grayson officially authorizes this coming Monday as a gift-giving holiday for all. Give a gift to someone whom you love. Or someone you like cordially. Or someone you vaguely tolerate but still feel inclined to give something. Or anyone you think it would be funny to give a gift to.
By my hand this 2nd day of the 8th month of 1008 AR.

I dreamt my laughter had been stolen from me. I tried to reach for it, but it was on the other side of the river. No matter how fast, or how far, I swam the banks of the river were always out of my reach. My fingers skimming over slippery rocks, nails finding no purchase. I dreamt my laughter stolen, and no one even noticed. They turned a blind eye and mocked me for my dourness. Calling me 'Giggles', for I could not smile. I dreamt I raged within my mind and no one could hear.
For they thought they were free, but they are blind and deaf.

Relationship Note on Samantha
In regards to the Marquessa Deepwood's musings, around this date (cross-reference as needed):
Allow me to clear up the questions you have asked:
Yes, it will endanger them. Yes, it will endanger you. To live is to be in danger, and at some point in our lives everyone's suffers, and everyone dies. Those are simple realities of the world, of /any/ world, that we might possibly live in.
But it is not the whole of reality. While choosing not to bring new life into the world will spare that potential life suffering, it will also deny it joy, love, the chance to grow wise and strong, and deprive the world of all the good that they could accomplish within the span of their life, however long or short it might be.
There are many valid reasons to remain childless, including that you simply do not wish to have children (provided that one does not have a duty to produce heirs). But one does not honor Gloria nor the Queen of Endings and Beginnings with such reasoning.

I ran the Gauntlet today, or more accurately, I blundered through the Gauntlet today. Many parts of me ache and I shall have some impressive bruises, but I did meet several interesting people there. They were nothing but encouraging, which was very pleasant.
This ointment I've been given for my aching muscles is searing hot and pungent enough to make my eyes water. Kind of minty smelling, though, and I don't mind the smell of mint. Which is good, because I might be slathering this stuff on me for days.
Ouch.
This is why they told me to keep doing push-ups, isn't it?

I find myself in something of a struggle between desire and what might be considered common sense.
With our world the way it is, and what I've been willing to do to help it, I have to wonder if it's right for me to consider bringing another child into the world at this particular time. Is it fair to this potential new soul? Would it endanger them? Would it endanger me?
I know what I want, but I feel so conflicted.
