L, is for the way it looked at me,
E, is for every nightmare I see,
V, is very-very extraordinary,
I, is for my endless inquiry --

To no one in particular:

A bully is someone who throws their weight around in an effort to make another feel small and powerless.

A person who draws a line in the sand, gives notice of intent should that line be crossed, and then follows through, is not a bully.

Just my perspective.

Being back from Farhaven, at a time when so many of my family are in town with me, is wonderful. It is always a good thing as a leader to be able to spread the burden of leadership around to those who you love and trust, and having my wife, my brother, and my cousins all in Arx helps with that. Plus, it's just good when the Villa is alive with activity and not quiet and empty. I think we need to have some kind of gathering soon so we can all catch up.

I went to Lord Killian's funeral. I am sad that he is dead. I only had one real encounter with him, and it involved fighting cruel and deadly things, but he was extremely nice to me and I had hoped that we'd be able to be friends afterwards. In a sense, I am mourning the loss of opportunity to get to know someone who was clearly reckoned a great man. I am mourning the loss of opportunity to learn from him. It is difficult to truly mourn someone you barely met, but easy to mourn the loss of potential friendship and camaraderie. I feel deeply for his friends and family, though, and hope that they find comfort in this difficult time.

Relationship Note on Monique

That was probably me, apologies. There's a particular circular niche in the main hall that amplifies subdued noises and makes them sound /really/ dark and foreboding.

Have you ever made an awful joke about mortality, and then heard the faint, distant sound of hollow laughter though no one else was around?

I don't normally take to the whites with my personal relationships or my petty daily grievances. At least not on a typical day. However, sometimes things of note transpire and it seems worthwhile to spend a few minutes publicly recording my feelings and experiences.

My wife is not a bully that tromps around in the personal affairs of other people looking to start fights and cause distress for no due cause.

However, I do find Marquis Fairen Leary to be a mercurial individual who takes time out of his day to send repeated missives to a loyal, honest and upstanding family of the Oathlands. For reasons that I find suspect as well as baffling. And even when it has been requested he stop, not only by those he messages but by House Laurent, by my voice, /my wife./

I hear that he doesn't appreciate anything even remotely resembling "dirty laundry" to be aired publicly. If he would like to send some more of his missives out, the sort that resemble creative writing, he's welcome to direct them my way.

Relationship Note on Samantha

As the current Lord Commander of the King's Own, I've given the guards fair warning that any baked goods should be vigorously inspected, but that if some aren't saved for me they'll be doubletiming their daily exercises.

I have begun stalking the White Journals again. Not to fear, I'm only looking through info on my brothers. I miss them dearly. Plus, I had made a promise to myself to invite those they knew to dinner, so I might hear stories of them. So, there may be more than a few dinner invitations going out, and we may be a bit more poorer for it, but I think it will be worth it to hear what others have to say about them.

In the meantime, sword lessons with my cousin, Luis, prove to be turning out well. I certainly have more than enough bruises to show just how unskilled I really am. Now that I know some of the basics of sword play, I've contacted Mistress Hana to order a sword for myself - in the typical phoenix design so favored by our House.

I am working on different colors for metal to use in some pieces that I'm making. If anyone has any recommendations, I would like to hear it. Note that it's a mystery what I might be making! I'm hopeful though that it will be beneficial to trade.

My mother never warned me about this... Maybe it's just me. But I shall, for future Farshaw and Wyrguard generations, begin a new chronicle in my journals called: "Recently I have cried because..."

- Vim, looked especially cute after Sir Dalan gave her a bath.
- ...because Sir Dalan looked so long suffering giving Vim her bath.
- And because Ryhalt is too tall.
- And because my favorite notebook was out of pages.
- And because I looked at a painting of my mother, and it made me miss Reiker.
- And because Sorrel.
- And because I dropped a cup. It didn't even break.
- And lastly because Sir Danan handed me a piece of paper that was within my reach and I COULD GET IT MYSELF SO I SHOUTED AT HIM ...and then felt bad about yelling at him.

Relationship Note on Magpie

Someone else wrote this to me, about the love of their life. I don't often write about how I feel about my husband, so instead I'll use someone else's words. This is how I feel about Magpie.

*Beneath is a clipping from another sheet of paper, in different handwriting.*

He's my Hugbunny!!

He and I -- we're stronger when we're together. Happier. Used to be we could move mountains like that. Now neither one of us is moving mountains anymore -- which is just as well, as mountains are best left where they are -- but we're still ... a matched pair. Split us apart and we just drift.

Relationship Note on Ectorion

Sober, serious, intelligent. He's a Knight from the Oathlands, and I can appreciate that. He's serious about his duty, I can appreciate that too. He has an open mind which is more important than ever right now. And he's going to be a lot of fun to torment. Ahem. I mean serve with. A lot of fun to serve with.

In all seriousness, I have fought with him at my side, trusted him at my back, and seen him face things that make grown men tremble. He's a credit to the armor and his family.
