It's even further into Spring, which means that it is going to likely rain a little bit more, but also be more cool than cold. I am thinking about working on some flower planting for the season.

I see a lot of food at various events. I should start with asking people about how to cook some of these things. I like to make a nice meal, but I also would like to learn to make even more.

Relationship Note on Astraea

So I get nothing. You all get fuck all too. If I die, burn all my shit and spread the ashes among my sisters.

I attended the Scholar's dinner, but I feel like I was barely there. I am distracted, of late, and it is not like me. I must pay more attention, regardless of what is going on in my personal life. Perhaps it is good that the Princess has given me a few days off to rest. It is sorely needed.

Relationship Note on Amarantha

You can't die! If you die then I die. However...since my kinsmen insist on leaving wills I will do my best to make this painless.

-My armor shall be returned to House Redrain to serve another fierce warrior of the North.
-Sentinel's Justice is willed to Ser Ectorion, so that it may continually be used as it was meant to.
-All of my clothes, jewelry, wealth, and incomes go to my sweet reflection, Amarantha, because I love her so.
-Princess Sparta, I leave to Echo because I know she will cherish her as much as I and they get along so well.
-To my dearest brother Apollis, I leave to you a warning. Even death will not keep me from watching over you.
-To Avaline, I leave Topaz. My favorite sword and longest, most adored ally. Use him well.

I've been more in touch with the Lycene part of my heritage in the past few months than I have in the past decade. It's breathtaking, wonderful, exhausting, delightful, a source of great joy, and, most of all, a lot like coming home.

I can't remember the last time I was so inspired and yet completely content to just -be-.

Renovations have begun on the building I purchased not far from the Academy. It hardly looks like anything yet, like it could become any number of things from here. I wonder how long it will take to look like what it's meant to be.

My painting "Making Advances" - featuring a rather spectacular duel between Caspian Wild and Prince Luca Grayson - has finally been delivered to it's new owner. I've passed a sizable amount of the silver from the sale to the Champion Caspian Wild, to pass on to the Champion's Guild (and to keep a bit for himself). It is my hope that all the Champions are well paid, even if they do not get selected for such high profile duels.

Relationship Note on Amarantha

So seldom am I left speechless but the power of your words rends my soul in two. The scholar has allowed me time to collect my thoughts. Your poem has drawn from me the very idea of 'good poem'. Your will leaves me with the feeling of 'don't die' and 'gimme your dog if you do die' and 'come on, I gave her to you'. Your poem on our mother leaves me with the thought 'that's almost nice'.

Relationship Note on Calaudrin

My will is in my black reflections. All of which, including that, I give Calaudrin Estardes and also Greenblood leave to read if I fall.

But not before then. It's better that way.

Back in Arx again. It feels like I've never been here before, and at the same time, almost like I've never left. It's as topsy turvy as I could imagine, but the people are very kind.

I ran into my cousin today, but only for a moment. I'm going to make him laugh one day. No one should be that grim and resolved all the time. It can't be healthy. Maybe there's a law about that?

No, I'm not talking about you, cousin. I'm talking about the other one!

Relationship Note on Astraea

As I have been thusly banned from publishing my poem on Renta by my beloved twin, I am tempted to challenge her to another duel.

I should have challenged her for not attending the debate on twins with me. And for forcing me to buy Renta another birthday peasant. She's what fifty now? How many presents does one woman need to hoard?

Because I am petty, I will offer a snippet of my now discarded poem.

My hands ache, longing as I do to carve
her story into stone!--for she is beauty
and horror, at ease in this imperfect form:
a face divine; a body lost to damnation.

Relationship Note on Astraea

Since everyone's writing wills,

If I die all my clothes, jewelry, and Tragedy--don't you dare call him creepy--go to you Astraea.

Everything actually. Just take it all. We're the same person so it makes sense.

That night was my becoming.
I drank from the depths of truth.

"What comes, what goes--
it's seldom known. If silent,
girl, you're good as bones!"

All I'd ever been was silence,
yet never, never had my heart
so longed to down as then--
suspended in sleep. Breathless
in the dark waters! Infinite,
eternal in my ignorance of days!

I--a child, anchored by origin;
a footstep on the sands of time.

The ocean's scribe.

Relationship Note on Cadenza

My dearest friend Cadenza. With war on the horizon, I admit I worry for her safety. I have come to see her as family and I tend to be protective of my family. I hope she sticks to her mission and doesn't try to perform unnecessary heroics. It would be a large blow to the world if she gets herself killed.

What a dizzying whirl the past couple of days have been since returning to Arx! Amazing how much of a difference time can make...some, I recognized. Most I did not. While having an eye to renewing old friendships, I have mainly worked on cultivating ones, and have been quite fortunate in meeting so many worth knowing. Some, naturally, have made a stronger impression than others, but it is good to see our Redrain kin as they should be - hearty, healthy, and fun to be around.
