Joslyn
I've heard so many refer to Joslyn like a warrior-woman, running the gauntlet, sparring and such. To see her calmly, clad only in a towel while teaching a small weapons lesson patiently, capably and confidently (and with a bit of amusement) tends to confirm that opinion of others.

I'm pretty sure I'm /older/ than you.

Countess Mia was good enough to host many of the Oathlands houses at Heron Hall last eve. The duck was delicious, the cider crisp and refreshing, and the company even better. It was good to be among easy-flowing conversation and to discuss our plans for the future. Already, we are in talks to regularize and better-protect trade routes through the Telmarch, freeing up our armies for work elsewhere.
I do wonder how Lady Monique ended up with those extra bottles of cider, however.

*A picture of a robed figure standing in profile: their face is covered with a mask, and one hand is holding a censure, while the other one is not visible... black sleeves hanging down where the hand should be.*
I've spent the past week or so working at the Shrine of the 13th, working closely with a Silent Reflection. I am still uncertain how I feel about this-- What a terrible fate. But it impressed upon the importance of safe guarding Knowledge, and it also gave me an interesting look into communication in other ways than writing and speech:
Body language is an interesting thing.

I fondly hope that the journey to the Forest will be nothing but marching in empty woods while others scout.
How it goes with my hopes.

Tonight, I felt as though I had half the Houses of the Oathlands in the hall for dinner. And the experience has me convinced -- I'll simply have to invite the other half, next time.

The Merchant's Assembly went very well for the first one held, and Lady Lucita is a lovely and able co-hostess. There was talk of holding another, and people seemed quite interested so it must be repeated.

I am deeply honored to have been asked to become a Voice for the Velenosa family. I might not have been born a Velenosa, but I proudly carry it and all that comes with being one.
I also like paper work, but don't tell Talen that. I have enough of my own to deal with that I'd rather he handle what he is given.

Wish there was a way to maintain two lines of thought at once. So many need help, mind fractured but not in productive way. Pieces still need to be connected. Will help Eirene to best of ability this week, then return to ballistae design next. Wish I could continue in my sleep.

For clarity's sake, Your Grace, will you fight anyone in stockings or anyone wearing stockings? I mean, really, if you're fighting about stockings (even if the specific stockings you are championing are Princess Alarissa's), you should be fighting in stockings.
You and Princess Marian missed a great chance to showcase the finest artisanal armored stockings in the Oathlands, which would honor the craftsmen of both Princess' previous home. Jayus, too! And think of the commerce. Gild!

I'm another that firmly believes Velenosa is in good hands with Archduchess Eleyna. I pity the woes she will have to endure, all the increased work and paperwork. All while trying to keep a firm handle on what Prince Talen will get himself into. Quite the workload.

I cannot begin to express just how much joy I feel in my heart that my marriage to Inigo has truly helped to mend the broken history between Tor and Southport. Many noble marriages are solely based on politics and while our union does fulfill a great political alliance, ours was a story of love long before we exchanged vows.
Our people see this. They see the work we have put into this and how we will continue to keep peace between our cities.
I also know in my heart Leo is proud of me.

Another title for you, my good man. My have you grown since we've first met! Better hire a scribe who will take down all your messengers.

It has truly been an honor and a pleasure to serve Velenosa as a Voice during a more fragile time. Your decision to simplify things and keep the Lyceum organized and streamline is something I personally agree with. Kudos to you for bringing back stability.

Been seeing a lot of old faces this week, which is always nice, old faces are easier to remember than the new ones that keep popping up since being in the city. Seen that cripple... umm... Ian? Yes, I believe it was Ian, met him in that sharp looking courtesan's gaming place the first time, he was then having a drink with me in my own hall... curious why he came so far north. I also saw Princes Rey once again, always a pleasant young woman, she sure does think I am handsome.

I've yet to see my Sword practice in his new armor! Congratulations on getting it done. I fully support this whole mix n'match leather and metal.

I finally got a chance to spar with Joslyn and it was great. She hits really hard! I have something to work towards that is for certain. I really enjoyed the time we spent together, hopefully we can perhaps hang out again or I can spar with her when I have trained a bit more!

We're living in most curious times. We're reading stories of fantastic events that are written as if they had actually occurred. It seems that a new future really is upon us. I'm most interested to see where this all leads.
