Need your child to not humiliate himself or herself when called upon to sing? Certain you have a little musical prodigy on your hands? Why not hire a bard?
Not me though, I don't know the first thing about teaching. Or handling children. I doubt anyone wants to see what happens when you combine the two.

I'm teaching that song to every child I have. It will be immortalized. I should send Baroness Lucita flowers for bringing such an amazing homage to your wonderousness, Auntie.

First time here in months, dreading writing and what do I find but a wonderful song and My Auntie's threats about it.
It makes me smile! I'll give you four hundred push-ups but I can't do privy duty. Too much else to do, Auntie Eirene.

I knew things were going to be bad in this war. Still I felt compelled to participate. Not being a fighter, a flighty dreamer if anything I think my dream may have slipped away from me. I went to Setarco with the Healer Corp that accompanied the military forces. Even though it was on a fleet of ships. I hate ships. I'm like a tree. I prefer firm planting of feet upon ground.
That being said, this silly woman had studied healing. She had been training others in emergency aid. She was sweet-talked that she might be useful. There is no usefulness. How can man, elf, anyone stand up to such seething, unbridled hate? I knew I was unprepared. I had seen scenes of wars previous, my father spared me the most gruesome of the details. I was wholly unprepared. Limbs. Partial people. Chaos. And this was the least bloody of the engagements. These wars have happened before. And they will happen again.
I can't stand to hear things like 'we won'. I haven't heard those words. There was no true victory here. Covered in blood so crimson I feel it will haunt my dreams. I feel like I can't go back to being the same happy girl I once was. I feel like the clock has been wound back once. Perhaps for the next generation. If we're lucky. But we only bought time. Resources - like people, grow thinner. We are streched so thin. We have lost much. Eirlys has passed. Noble, commoner, slum..I've never cared much for determinations between any people. But I've seen now first hand they all bleed the same kind of color. And they all can work together in the worst of circumstances to overcome - even at the highest of cost. I didn't see the battle. I wasn't some warrior. I had no effect on the battle. But I was terrified. I experienced fear. I was nervous. The first injuries came in, and they didn't stop, there wasn't enough space, people. There..wasn't enough anything.
I will miss you, Eirlys. You were of the best of us Greenmarches, and your loss is felt hard. I'll remember you.
I am glad to be back in Arx. I'm tired. I'm messy. And I'm home. Whatever little petty things, whatever grudes I held, seems small now.

Two paths converge (Week 9)
It has finally happened, where two paths converge and I am now husband to a very special woman. Lady Cadenza Fidante. It sounds very new to me but at rings out as right to me as well. Next our reception will be coming up soon, which is something that should be enjoyable to see so many friends and family in one place in celebration.
After the celebration is over, it is time to go back to work on the issues that plague my homeland. I can see several Houses have the same issues we have with after the war and losing people to the fighting.

I need to tread more carefully, and I need to speak to my brother. Who knew we had so many secrets from each other, but I can't very well ask him for his when I'm not willing to speak of my own. Some things may remain buried forever.

Now I -know- there is a place between worlds, because as I have been laboring all of last evening and half of today I have slipped into it a few times, and have no sense of what occurred while I was "out". Is it supposed to go on like this? The women say that it sometimes can. They keep trying to take away my knitting, because I am hostile during my pains. As I have said to some of the people that have stopped by to visit, I am uncomfortable, I am frustrated, and I am anxious for the baby. I am impatient, not murderous. There is a difference. Meanwhile, all the jokes I have made over the years about Thrax and eating babies I now repent, and beg my child to please, please come out soon.

Relationship Note on Percephon
Tygra is safe and sound in Lord Percephon (Halfshav!)'s care now. I took Tygra over to the House of Questions for the compulsory rabbit registration and he got a cute little pink ribbon around his collar. I don't know if this marks him as Inquisition approved or not, but I think it makes him look very dapper overall. I can only imagine that he'll be confused in his new home, but I have made sure to leave his hutch exactly as Eirlys has left it. Lord Percephon will probably spoil the little bun to bits, but I'll be sure to stop by occasionally to make sure that he is not /too/ spoiled.

I rarely have to invent things for my plays. The nobility makes comically, casually villainous shows of themselves all on their own. The bigger problem is actually how _un_subtle they often are.
