A knight to model my own behavior after. If you're reading this, ask her about trees some time. I owe her a story.

Relationship Note on Fianna
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!

You were fun when we were both younger...and you're a great woman now.

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 it involves my sensitive bits and parts, yes, I know how lucky I am.
Everything's as yet attached - and nothing hurts.

You definitely need to meet my daughter. Dame Alexis has already made her first little set of armor! And she is giving my weapons a far too curious eye.
She's not even 2 yet.

Relationship Note on Bliss
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.

Relationship Note on Bliss
Of course passion can be terrifying, perhaps one of the most terrifying double-edged swords we know. Walk our city, you will see the passion for learning and creation on display. Watch our duels, you will see the passion of our champions for their craft, the passion of pricked emotions on display. It has created wonders in our world.
I have held passion bleeding in my arms, though, and spent decades in its wreckage. Passion is a very difficult thing for some to trust, and I must number myself amongst those that are wary of it.

Passion - what is it?
For me, it's the drive to live life to the fullest. To chase your dreams and goals with such ardor, such vigor, that others cannot help but get swept up in it and swept along. To tackle each obstacle with the fullest of your capabilities, and to never let your drive waver.
If life doesn't feel like it's too much, too big for you, I would think you probably aren't living your life to where you should be.
Your emotions should never terrify you. Even the painful ones.

I am so very much looking forward to the Keaton Summer Celebration that is coming up! I have already begun tackling the gifts and prizes to be given out to those that attend. I am most looking forward to the children's portion at the earlier part of the day and invite all those with little ones to bring their children! I have employed a number of artists to capture drawings of the event that can be used to create portraits at a later date. More will have safe pigments for the children to play with, so they can create art of their own (smocks provided). And there will puppies and goat kids aplenty for them to play with. We have a number of games prepared and lots of sweets for them to enjoy.
Once the children are tuckered out, it will be time for the adults to relax and enjoy the summer evening. All are invited to come and mingle, enjoy Marie's exquisite cuisine, a sampling of alcoholic beverages dreamed into creation by the ever creative Count Kael Keaton, and, of course, partake in games and wagers. There will be games to play, music to dance to, and a raffle as well!

A scholar and an explorer. How fitting that you should hold such titles, really. They match your personality. Congratulations on passing your examination. I have absolute faith that the Society of Explorers will only benefit significantly from having you among their numbers.
Please note that the scholars may take some time preparing your journal for others to read.
