Relationship Note on Joslyn

Can't somebody get this poor girl a glass or a bottle of wine? I'm sure there's someone who has the right vintage to soothe all wounds.

Relationship Note on Sergei

I think this incredibly tall man referred to me me as a "lad". The 20-somethings in the barracks call me old. Pretty sure this means he's one of my new friends.

Hope your ribs feel better.

Oh where to begin! Praise Vellichor, lord of all that is known and all that is yet to know. May my words be worthy of your knowledge. There, fancy invocation aside, this is my first journal in quite some time.

Where indeed to start? The worship of the most pure Mangata is all that keeps a dark tide from crashing on our shores and yet I fear that is not enough. It isn't enough to pray when we want something; our worship must be sincere and heartfelt to be effective, given in good times and bad.

On the note of worship given heartfelt, I need to schedule that beach blanket fish fry and kite flying competition before the summer ends. Silly me and my schedule keeping me busy.

Day 16

I've passed the two week mark in the city, and I'm realizing there is still stuff to discover. I haven't seen all the Wards yet, and I've passed several shops that I haven't gone in. Either I need to re-double my efforts to explore everything, or slow down to drag the exploration of the city out longer.

My sister wants me to stay in the city for a while, and I'm not sure...I had no plans to go anywhere, but sometimes the road calls and the feet answer. Maybe if I find myself something to keep my hands and mind busy I won't start day dreaming of the next horizon.

All in all, I think that went quite well. Besides, of course, the Prince and Princess-- they didn't seem to get the fun end of the stick. /I/ got to take back a souvenir; carted in by Thunder a particularly impressive horse, courtesy of Agnarr. And my ass was saved by that lad with the arrows; fucking incredible aim.

Yeah. Good times.

That? No that's normal, happens all the time. Where'd you say the mercies were at?

He is finally here! My baby boy has joined us in this world. Aeryn Squall Keaton has been born. As soon as he was fed, and we both rested I introduced him to both Vellichor and Limerance. I had Marie create a natural dye and I wrote, 'I am born of love, my first breath a promise fulfilled.' Writing, a sacred thing, recording the history of his creation. He is my vow made flesh. I am so in love right now. I look at him and he embodies all the love and hope I feel when I look at Kael. Our union was made for politics, we were strangers when we met. And yet, Limerance has smiled at us, and our hearts found in one another a love neither expected.

Here is to the future. Aeryn's future. My darling Squall, the Keaton Storm.

Note to brothers every where... if you want your sister to like your wife. It's probably best to warn you sister before you marry her.

I don't feel like I should be too specific about some things in journals these days. I know some people just write black journals, but that feels like just being specific to a few very bookish people and snubbing everyone else.

I found out today that somebody - who I thought was a little crazy and I hope she forgives me for that - was right and wrong about me. Right in a way she probably didn't expect, wrong in a way that got my hopes up. I don't know how to feel about things, but I guess being vague is the best way to acknowledge that things happened and now I'm more confused.

To the Faithful reader:

I am now officially fifty-one years old. Sometimes, it feels as if the last three years have passed more slowly than the forty-eight which came before. Certainly, this last year has been packed with revelations, tragedies, triumphs, and new beginnings. Sometimes, I do envy those who are younger than I in this awakening age. But it has still been a gift of the gods to exist, and live, and learn through these turbulent days.

I must also thank the lovely Whisper Champion, Bliss, for keeping me company on the day. I have not laughed like that in a while.

I have decided I would rather not have babies, getting fat just so one can have a screaming, wriggling creature that spews fluids all over and can do nothing but suck and demand just doesn't seem worth it.

Whoever said that time heals all wounds was full of shit. It hasn't gotten any easier, and now everybody is trying to tell me that I can't have my wine, just when I need it the most! They can't keep me from my wine!

Relationship Note on Reigna

Count and Countess Keaton are among my favorite couples in Arx (not that I have favorites, mind), and the addition of Lord Aeryn Squall Keaton is a special blessing. I know they will make wonderful parents (with finally a nanny on staff), and I look forward to seeing Lord Aeryn come to age under their guidance.

Come see me when you want to run the Gauntlet, Lord Aeryn. I'll make sure Lord Percephone fudges the score entry for you.

Relationship Note on Reigna

I am so very happy for two of my favorite people, Count Kael and Countess Reigna Keaton. Aeryn Squall Keaton has been born! I look forward to meeting the little storm who already has a place in my heart and wish for him a long and healthy life full of prosperity and happiness. He could not ask for better parents.

Congratulations Keaton House!

It would seem that the colder months come once more. It was an interesting festival recently, but I've been keeping to my own for it. I built a new shield during it though, which I do like. Rubicund is beautiful in some of the forms that it takes. I have a like for many colors! I also like the fall and winter weather. It is great for a nice drink of kahve.

Relationship Note on Joslyn

Sparring her has the same impact as wrangling a pissed off cat into a cold bath. I appreciate the attitude she carries aside those little needles of hers, though.

Personal note: Prefers women-- we're basically best friends already.
