I'm often of the opinion that a suit of armor works for many occasions.

Celebrating a birth? Armor.
Wedding? Armor.
Romance? Armor.
Baking? Armor.
Ice skating? No armor. Must work on that.
Meetings? Armor.
Digging a trench? Armor.
Hugging? Please no.
Sports Ball? Armor.
Hugging your loved ones? Armor
Boats? Someone from the Mourning Isles once told me that if you go overboard, you're dead anyway. So, armor.

Armor is versatile and has a place in many different settings.

It has been made clear to me this evening however that I do not possess a suit of armor for a "very casual" setting. The indecision is paralyzing. Then to top it all off once I reach that decision, I may begin doubting myself when I consider what primary means of self-defense I should pair it with.

I think I'm going to be late.

It would seem that every time I record my thoughts in these journals, it is about a war that is about to happen, something that is coming. I wonder if I will have another week to write about the war that is coming, or if we shall finally set out at the appointed time.

Today I also was reminded, so straightforwardly, that often when we march to the orders of others, we can harm innocents without even realizing it. I shall endeavor to ensure that those who fall beneath our blades are indeed deserving. Not that there should be any doubt, though a sane mind is one not troubled by emotion and thoughts of vengeance.

A debt was fulfilled to me this week, and I am glad of it. A lord who leaves behind his family to seek his own fortune can earn ill-founded rumours, and I will shamefully admit that I did worry. What if the payment was reneged? What if I brought the loan contract to his family and they refused me, citing that he'd left their embrace.

I'm glad that my worries were unfounded and that honour remains stronger than steel in Oathlanders - even if they leave the Oathlands behind.

Relationship Note on Echo

Princess Echo continues to be a good friend, and someone I find myself seeing eye to eye with on many things.

Maybe it's because we're about the same height.

The time has come and I'll be tested. I'll find my place and learn under battle. I can only hope the Gods find favour in us and our cause. Gloria, let me be the leader my troops need. Lagoma see that the changes wrought by this aren't to the detriment of us.

Queen of Endings welcome those whose time have passed.

The Mummers put on another play, and of course I created the costumes for the performers. It went well, I suppose. The gowns were auctioned off afterwards and it appears they were well received. All in all, it wasn't completely terrible.

Being a part of the opera and being up on stage again was amazing. The dress that Aurora made for my costume was gorgeous and I was pleased to see it go for a good price at the auction afterward. I promise the owner that I did bathe thoroughly before wearing it.

Why is my sister at the docks?

*Overheard* No, scholar, the big letters!

WHY IS MY SISTER AT THE DOCKS, DO NOT LET HER ON ANY BOATS!

I've had a great deal of time to think. And I think I've been too solemn. Not during my penance. That's appropriate. But with everything occurring in the future--I don't know what's to come. But I've looked at the past--seen Crownbreak Point at night--and looked to an uncertain future. There's no reason to do so with a frown on my face. We can smile when everything is dark. Perhaps that's when we must.

Now, if you'll excuse me--I've a wedding to celebrate.

I believe I may have exhausted myself into the care of some Stonewood guards trying to find a couch to place me upon. Oops.

I have so much to tell Agatha when I see her at home.
She's either going to laugh or she's going to cry.
She may do both by the time I am done.

Relationship Note on Lumen

As ever, it is a delight to find myself in Lumen's company. More so when I hear she has already found herself busy within the city; such an asset to the Whisper House. I will always look forward to tea and wine with her, even if it is just to play witness to her counsel. There is so much more than the starlit beauty she carries with such effortlessness. To see her bloom in grace does well to remind me of the unique talents that make up our Whispers.

Relationship Note on Eleyna

The hospitality of Velenosa is beyond compare. My time visiting the Archduchess was a relaxing one and she and Archduke Talen made Astrid and myself feel as if we were at home. Your tepidarium leaves me envious and I shall have to see to stealing the pillows. Divine. I shall have to extend to you both the same courtesy in the future. Thank you dear friend for your kindness.
