I found my way back to the Ambassador Salon and met the Marquis of house Leary and his brother. There are so many new friends to make, and so many stories both to tell and to learn from others. I am excited to be back in Arx.

I am waiting on paperwork and processes and find myself, for the first time, anxious for it to all be done by the bureaucracy. There are things that can only be done when it is. But till then I can still take tailoring commissions.

A heart-to-heart with Princess Ribbons. Sort of. And a good bit of training with Mags and The Moustache of Thrax, after. There were drinks, past that. Songbird showed up for it all. Can you believe Galen offered to buy eighteen rounds? I didn't drink as much as I could have. I kept to my word. Oh, but all that I could have drank! The road home is much easier to navigate when it's not wobbling. That must be the secret. It's less of a challenge though.

Relationship Note on Joscelin

You didn't know?! Well, Josie, if you had ever been to the tea shop prior to my return you might have seen my dearest Dorff. (The eagle owl.) He keeps me company in the Loft now. Please, anticipate a lovely gift one day soon. My work has certainly improved in the years since.

I had no idea you had a thing for taxidermy. I would like one!

[From the desk of B. Mercier, Teashop Proprietor -- ]

Honestly, Josie's work on her jewels are so inspiring. You might have seen me dash from the shop as though my feet were on fire. I suppose, in some fashion, they were. Now, I am proud to say that I own work from two of the Compact's finest. Mistress Coldrain AND Guildmistress Arterius. Soon, I will make a point to see and meet with even more of Arx's artisans. Mistress Corsetina for a signature scent and Master Meadson for a blade. In the meanwhile, I will be trying my own hand at art. Although ... I wouldn't anticipate it being as lovely as all of this. I am a better hand at mixing herbs and stuffing dead birds.

I am hosting a debate -- my very first one in the city. The subject is the best tactics with which to win a war: force, persuasion, or suspicious intrigue.

...What. I'm a Velenosa.

In the unlikely event that I see my immediate end on this turn of the Wheel, Scholar, there is a particular book that my nearest and dearest will find on my shelves. The properties of metal.

Relationship Note on Echo

You are my favorite sister and I now leave all my stuff to you. My last will is void. Be sure to get to my room quickly. Amarantha has her eye on a few of my treasures.

By allowing that line of thought to stay in place you have done a valuable public service.

I thank you.

It has recently come to my attention that there are people in this world that think babies are delivered by faerie dragons from--

Well, the where is not important, all things considered.

I did not have it in my heart to tell them otherwise, though. The light shining in their eyes was so fervent and bright, so genuine. I think that they must really wish to see this spectacle. And you know what?

Everyone should be allowed to dream.

Relationship Note on Peri

Peri is special.

I have known this since we first met, and she was still a child on my very first progression through the March when I was fifteen years old. I know something of her heart; and how much she wants to look beyond what she knows, while still carrying a deep loyalty to her family. Her sense of honor is impeccable. I think there is great spiritual strength in her, it just needs an opportunity to come out.

Now, she is leading our small fleet into battle at Setarco. I can think of no braver hands than hers to guide our sails.

Relationship Note on Emily

The cadet branch Deepwoods have been a lovely addition to my family. Thus far, the one I know best has come to be Lady - no, Cousin Emily. She has made herself essential to both myself and to Rymarr, and holds the interests of our House within her heart. I've spent more than one evening thus far enjoying her company and hope to enjoy many more.

She is traveling to the north to lead Deepwood's forces in defense of Stormwall, and is being mentioned frequently in my prayers. But more importantly, I will support her with my actions as her forces fly the banner of three trees.

Relationship Note on Lumen

A cousin by way of my Bisland foster family, and in many ways a kindred spirit. Now that she has settled in Arx, I hope to convince her to grace Deepwood Manor with her presence often. She is an accomplished Whisper and one of the most elegant and graceful women in my acquaintance.

Relationship Note on Bethany

I imagine when one loses an appendage, however large or small, you feel the loss of it for a very long time, but after a while the lack becomes normal, and something you're used to, and possibly no longer notice. But if by magic that lost appendage is restored, you must wonder how you ever got along without it.

I have missed Bethany Mercier enormously. To have her back in my life is a blessing, for both her service and her friendship.

I can respect a woman who looks upon a jagged, rocky shore and sees a story of redemption.

Relationship Note on Niklas

*Drawn here is a rather skillful pencil sketch of a rather regal looking retriever, with a stick in it's mouth. Beneath it, some text.*

Lord Niklas - if you need any assistance in someone taking all your possessions should you perish, I gladly will! I've no intention of perishing in this coming war.

What about that story you were going to write? That had better be left to me -- in either sense of the phrase.

I am not going to write a will.

Do not mistake me. This is not a statement meant to inspire confidence or to speak of my own boldness should battle come to Arx.

I'm not going to write a will because if the invaders get to me, there probably won't be anyone left to take ownership of my things.

Oof, that got dark. Can we include a drawing of a dog or something to cheer readers up?

(included here is a bad drawing of what is probably meant to be a dog)

I know that this is a thing that is very much the fashion, but it does seem a waste to write my thoughts down like this when I would prefer to write them down... LIKE THIS!

ACT ONE

SCENE ONE

EVIL WIZARD: Aha! I shall kidnap yon princess and the king shall give the kingdom to me!

HEROIC KNIGHT: There are lots of princesses. This plan needs work.

Just then a DRAGON atttacks!

Did you duck? Do not lie, for I cannot hear you and as such your lies are for yourself! We both know that for a moment you were swept away into a world of true adventure, caught in a tapestry of imagination I wove on the loom of my boundless creativity! Such is the power of my one true passion, the theater!

Looms are for weaving, right? Don't publish this until I double check that.
