I will be gone for about a week on a small training exercise with new Crimson Blades recruits. I am actually nervous not for the training, but the fact that my brother has just come to town. It is a good thing that I was able to introduce him to some of my closest friends. Hopefully he will be well cared for in my absence and they will keep him out of trouble.
I was also going to write something about the cat being knighted. My first reaction upon hearing about this was, in all honestly, disbelief. Why a cat? Why? But then I got to thinking about it and I wonder if our conceptions about animals are all wrong. So I shall reserve any harsh words until I meet the feline in question.

I'm on the precipice of monumental change and it is a leap I can never take back. It is near time to break away from what I was and forge ahead into what I will become.
Only time will tell what that will be...

As I receive mostly really funny requests for clarification on this wedding dance competition... a few stand out. One specifically being the prospect of Faith participation. Being that the inspiration behind this is promoting and expressing the sentiment of comradery within the Lyceum, and given the great influence the Faith has had in this and all matters... well, the answer is yes! Of course! Hit me with another. I absolutely live to rationalize inclusion.

You're coming along just great! Trust in Dumpling and remember to nudge with the knees, don't squeeze! If you squeeze she'll be confused!

Justice: always changing or never changing?
It's part of a conversation I had today with a Templar. The knight takes the former tack; I, the latter. I said that, while the law might change, as we firm up what is right versus what is wrong, the just result itself -- the fair thing to do -- never does, and stands outside (if generally within) the law.

I'll be sure to come to her shop with a Sameera-appropriate plan next time. I hope that someone takes her up on the Starmetal commission - I'm curious to see what she makes.

She's incredibly fond of Yaya (who wouldn't be?) and a terrific trainer to Dumpling. And me, if I'm being frank, I've learned at least as much, maybe more than Dumpling has.

Relationship Note on Mirari
Mirari has grown to be a friend over time. After a visit with her, I leave feeling in a better mood, calmer, more hopeful and cheerful than I did when I first arrived and hope I leave her feeling the same way. Estaban said she was a person I would enjoy knowing. He was right.

Some of the samples of the artistic works and gorgeous bottles and stemware from Saikland Greens Glassworks are coming in for me to review. All I can say is WOW! I don't know if they will be able to work fast enough to keep merchants stocked once people discover just how lovely they are!

I reached out today, trying to get some information to ensure that efforts being made are not undone by ignorance on my part. I was met with... It was not that the words cut. It was brusque, yes, but... Perhaps it is my problem. That I hear with ears that sense dismissal where none was intended. It is a difficult thing, to try to understand someone else's point of view. I try. I try to apologize in advance, to acknowledge that I am ignorant. To invite others to educate me. Because that is how I would like to be approached by someone who is uncertain and clearly not wanting to offend. It is hard for me to imagine being... again, they were not hostile, but... intractable maybe? Yes, I suppose that might be the best word for it. But I have to remember that not everyone is as willing to trust the intentions of others. It saddens me, but I suppose one might attribute that to the very privilege I am aware I am afforded.
There is a philosophy that I adhere to, that, after the discussions I prompted in these Whites, I think many seem to understand. I am interested to see if anyone disagrees with it.
The concept is servant leadership. The idea being that a leader is someone who serves their people. They are beholden to those they lead, responsible for their continued success, because if we succeed in helping them succeed, then by extension, everyone succeeds.
Counter thoughts?

If you've never been terrified by your emotions, you haven't felt one strongly enough.
That's not a suggestion that you should try. Just a caution about thinking you know other people and how they should live better than they do.

Relationship Note on Bliss
Truer words have never been written, and it matches a philosophy I embrace whole heartedly. Often I am asked for a story that is uplifting. That has love, or hope. And often, I see the look if uncertainty when such stories begin with moments of despair, or sadness. What use is hope if there is no despair? Can one have love without heartbreak? Without the duality, the happier of these emotions lose their meaning. It doesn't soften the pain, it doesn't make it easier. But such feelings should still be embraced and relished fully, so that the happier forms of them have that much more meaning. You? Have a free drink waiting for you at the Raconteur Brewery, whichever day you may want to come lay claim to it.
