If I didn't have a mountain of growing notes and other various documentation and books starting to pile up around my work-space, I would have missed the note that I made to myself: 'Update Journal.' So, I have -- although it's more likely that I will need to spend a half a day in order to properly write down all of my exploits (bold and daring feats -- hardly, but it sounds terribly interesting, doesn't it?) since the fated return to the capital city. There's more, naturally, and there is always more to write down.

But, there's even more to do and I have procrastinated enough today. I need to return to the research.

Be patient with your Scholar, Vellichor.

Relationship Note on Alis

Why we don't hang out more I'll never know. Guess our paths run parallel.

Had another mini breakdown the other day. I have no shame in writing a White about this. The sheer horror of what we're up against is catching up to me and sometimes it's a little overwhelming when you stop and think about it.

Alcohol is my best friend. It's done a lot to help me forget or at least cope. Sometimes I think I rely on it too much but so far it's been more a boon than a bane.

Who needs sleep anymore, right?

Relationship Note on Viviana

I went to visit my sister today at Pravus Manor, only to find out she was not available. I should have sent a message first, to be sure, but sometimes a surprise is just delightful. I won't call it a wasted trip, however. While there, I met the Sword of Setarco.

It's always a pleasure to meet a kindred spirit. She is sure to overwhelm me when we spar next, but I still look forward to it.

Relationship Note on Astraea

I've missed seeing my cousin the years she has been gone. It is good to have her back near family and I wonder what changes her time up north have made in her. When we used to play 'Lady Manners' she would always win, but she was still fun to be around.

Relationship Note on Amarantha

Watch out Arx, my cousin Amarantha has arrived. There are going to be 'interesting' times ahead for those who have the pleasure of meeting her. She loves music 'almost' as much as me.

Relationship Note on Donella

If "It was a pleasure to meet you." is what we say as a matter of etiquette, than what is it we ought say when meeting someone new is truly a pleasure? If I'd recalled today, I'd have said as much to Princess Donella Redrain.

Welcome to Arx. I am sure you will find the city quite fascinating and welcoming.

I realize my last entry might have sounded snarky because I always sound snarky but I really do think splinters and small children are terrifying. I've protected myself fairly well against one of the two, at least.

Relationship Note on Alarie

I am now in position of virgin wool, declared to be as 'soft as a newborn's ass', and guaranteed to keep my ample buttocks warm, pampered, and well-cared for.

I would argue that Crafters make the most amazing compatriots.

Small children, splinters...truly it is a terrifying world we inhabit.

In the past few years, I've suffered my fair share of injuries. The less severe ones have always been far more aggravating than the ones that have put me on strict bedrest thanks to adrenaline, shock and so on. I always thought the worst were papercuts, but today I've learned splinters, depending on where you get them, can be far more diabolical.

I have no regrets.

Relationship Note on Cassandra

Thank you for receiving me so quickly upon my arrival. Your kind words will be cherished always as something I needed most in my time of suffering. I have been emboldened by the strength of your character and the steadfast way in which you have provided guidance to a wayward soul like mine. In context to the highlight of our conversation, bourgogne red. It would suit you quite well and I happen to have it with me. Next time we'll have some tea and see what we can't do.

Relationship Note on Cirroch

I've always loved our adventures and I look forward to making new memories. If every there was another person I would seek trouble with beside my sister, it would no doubt be you Marquis. Thanks for the drinks and the chance to catch up and let's do it again soon. Besides, I must meet the special people in your life. It's been years since I've had reason to come to the city and I remember how fast you made friends.

There will be an official proclamation made soon, but I should make it a matter of record now that I have relinquished control of the Crown Court of Arx back to Chief Magistrate Octavia. I was happy to keep the Court running smoothly in the interim while the Honorable Lady Octavia dealt with a situation in her home march. We are happy to have her back.

I have been spending some time, as of late, compiling information that I already have. Reviewing it, re-examining it, seeing where pieces might fit together that I missed before. This exercise has advanced my understanding of the problems we as a Compact face, and I recommend everyone who works at these problems find some time in the near future to review what they already know and see if anything new can be learned from it in light of information later attained.

I've also stumbled upon a thing or two that I'd forgotten needs looking at, so there is also that.

I do encourage our allies to plan on coming to the meeting I are hosting in the near future. If you wish to work with House Pravus and are willing to do so under my direction (I do not have time for conditional help, disruption, or games in this context), you would be more than welcome.

I thought that the news that I was given was useless -- that it didn't do a thing to advance my cause or answer any of my lingering questions. That was simply my impatience at the fore, dictating my reactions. When it ought to be considered as a step in the proper direction. After a day or so of simmering with this information in my head, yes, I realize that I was wrong. The information was very useful.

I grow ever more impatient. Our plans are made, our preparations complete. But the more time we spend here, the more I am treated to the opportunity to see my friends and my family grow, and that is not such a bad thing either. Still I find the truism to be most accurate, as that inestimable bard once said, the waiting is the hardest part.
