Relationship Note on Alis
I do not doubt your martial prowess as a knight, Princess-general; not for one moment. It is your child's prowess that I question.
I would be less concerned if your child has gained some battlefield experience, but I recommend waiting until the baby has drawn their first breath.

Bastion is every bit as sweeping and majestic as I remember it!
I am so bored.
Aiden, all your birds say hello! Or at least, there was a lot of flapping and squawking that I assume were hellos or telling me I was interrupting bird tea time!
The charity has been well received so far! I think I shall keep up my efforts here. Rebuilding is of course important, but so is remembering that there are those in need everywhere!

What have you been up to lately, brother? I'm afraid to ask, but curious to know.
Is it shark wrestling? Have you been doing the shark wrestling?

Relationship Note on Mirari
I can admire the Princess Reese's dedication to being in the right place at the right time in her quest to purchase the things that appeal to her. I do believe she has paid off messengers to keep an eye on every store front... and I hope she appreciates the particularly pink label I put on one of the brews she bought from me yesterday. Given your own wares? I can see why she'd wish to own each and every piece.

Relationship Note on Reese
I'm pretty sure Princess Reese Grayson is on a mission.
I put out jewelry, it disappears. It's almost like a game at this point, and while I'm not sure who is winning, I can say that it's amusing.

Relationship Note on Veronica
I am humbled by your regard, Lady Veronica. On one hand I feel compelled to point out that I am quite decent with a sword or flail. On the other hand, it is usually I who am overly protective of people so this is quite novel! I think we shall get along quite well.
... as long as you don't mind my propensity to find myself in dangerous situations.

Relationship Note on Magpie
BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENTS FROM HIGHWAY ROBBERY ABOUT FUTURE PRODUCT OFFERINGS.
That is what I think Magpie meant to say, but he's not the Director of Marketing, so I think it may have gotten lost in the translation.
We know you'll like them! But if you don't: No refunds!

Been a while since I got high and wandered up the hill to read the journals. I plucked a few from the pile and I think I see the real reason all the archives were put to the torch in the past.
Gods, people. Stop sitting around in a room writing journals and get out and live your lives. Go sailing. Have a smoke with some friends. Redecorate your home. (By the way, Highway Robbery has a fun new liquor cabinet in stock)
Now some personal notes, because this *is* a damned journal. I decided I'm done with Mystery Bags. I've been shredding up the bags. There are so many people making figurines now that I've felt my creative drive sucked away. Is that even what it was? Am I an artist now if I get mopey and depressed over my work? I should consult with Fortunato and Mae on that one, I suppose.

Relationship Note on Eirlys
We gathered at the Gauntlet last night, House Telmar and House Greenmarch, to honor the life of the departed Sword of the Greenwood, Lady Eirlys Greenmarch.
Between the sparring bouts in the dueling ring and the heats running the Gauntlet (I logged a personal best), I think Lady Eirlys would have been pleased. I hope her soul smiled on our efforts.

There are scholars of Vellichor to be found everywhere and even the crusty ones in the Mourning Islands are happy to drop whatever important research they're doing to write down my dumb thoughts!
(Lord Niklas recited a number of tongue twisters here. He then shared a recipe for a rum cocktail he called a Minty Nik.)
Anyway, everything has been going swimmingly. Responses to the shows have been very positive and the only pushback I received was from some viewers in Maelstrom who initially gave me grief for accuracy errors in The Pirate Queen. Though to be sure, it heartened me to know they were already familiar with my work! And after seeing The Good Duke both were interested in future non-ship-related works.
Though truly the best part of the voyage has been how it was re-energized me to write new things. I've been trapped so long in the story of former thralls and wartime heroics that I forgot what it was like to make something new. I've written two new full length manuscripts (both need work, certainly, but I am still very excited!) along with a quartet of one act plays, including a new play for the children's theater I have been doing with Sabella and a play I wrote after drinking a bright green liquor from Eurus.
It is good to be inspired again. It is good to leave the city. This has been a tiny adventure, but given how lacking my life is in adventure in general it has been rather grand for me.
Love to those who miss me and even more to those who don't.

There are very few people who I will offer to help without conditions attached.
Baroness-Regent Lucita Saik is one of those people. Her easy kindness and steady, straight approach to things never fails to amaze me.
Be nice to my friend, kind people of Arx, or I'll break your knees.

Silver Tides (Week 10)
The trivial matters of being a Voice. Administration... Trade agremeents... Counting coins.... I can not say these things are my strong points, however I do what is needed for my House. I have arranged several trade agreements which I feel were mutually benefitical, however it likely over extended my abilities at the moment so I will take a week break between starting them back up again to make sure everything is in line. At least I can say, a boring week is not a bad thing considering all the things we have been through of late.

Hrm...
Well, maybe a new trend's been started similar to people putting mud on themselves to look younger or some such shite.
Seems someone thought they'd help my feet stay fruity fresh with a bit of jam in my boots. Thank the Spirits it was in my room at Nightgold otherwise I'd probably get myself into a heap of trouble tracking sticky boots through the Hart!
Between Water from above, and Jam from below... I'm a curious to see where the next wave of this sinister plan comes from tomorrow.

The people of Arvum deserve a good story and I don't mean to deprive them. I'll come up with one, I promise.
Until then however we might have to satisfy ourselves with the truth. Ford Kennex and I make fine friends. If that was enough, we'd have been set.

Thus far I have avoided him. I grow too cautious entering rooms without thought to who is within them. I have yet to hear his boisterous call into the air. He doesn't know it was me, does he? I think he does. I am certain by now my Uncle would have discovered the jam in his boots. I should be a little more creative next time.

With the way the Valardins flap their lips about formality, one would think that such rudeness in an formal situation would not be tolerated.
