I do not write half of what my friend wants me to say in journals. Most of it, really. But I swear, she gets madder and madder at me every day when I don't do what she wants. If I thought she were capable of violence--.
Oh, maybe I should have entered this in the black. I'm sorry, scholars. The rest will need to go there.

Sometimes, I can't help but wonder around the city in awe. Then, of course, my friend calls me a silly twit. She's been here forever; she has ceased to see it as special. She would rather get to work, rather than waste the time with me, exploring the city.
But Arx is so big, and different, and overwhelming. How can I concentrate solely on work?

I am not sure what I thought would greet me when I arrived. I am not sorrowed by how things have been transpiring. There is a lovely revel in remembering old touchstones and praying in familiar grounds. I had not realized how I had missed Arx until I find myself back within it.
My first venture was to take drink with my cousin, Aurelian. We happened upon others and it ended with an offer to educate me in coffee. I am excited to learn about something new. I am also venturing out to learn other things that will be of worth to my family and the honor of our lands.
If you are reading my humble words, I thank your interest. I am looking for more instruction to the other lands that mix here in such a lovely circle of peace and understanding. I have my duties to be the best I can with healing, but I wish to learn more about lands that are not my own. If you are able to do this, please send word.

I haven't written anything in some time now, but I don't suppose Velichor will mind any. What's to write? I was content, so I wrote nothing. And then I was drunk, so I thought I'd spare the Scholars. But here are a few verses. They rhyme and everything. It's not a poem, it's just the start of one, more or less, but I don't think I'll finish it. There's a sweet spot for the writing of such things. Not too little wine, not too much, just enough. But wine's cheap, and it's hard to stay in-between long enough for what you'd call proper poetry.
Where did the wild wind waft the thistle's petals?
What starry skies smile to see the passing knight?
What prickly paths, bound in brambles and in nettles,
Will lead astray the laugh that lights the longest night?

Darling readers!
I know it has been a long time but so much has happened in these last months. I, officially, am rebegining my career as a courtesan, and I have my own cabin now to entertain company, along with a rededication to my goal of bringing joy to the city.
Darling fans, there is a light in the midst of this grim now and it is me!

A lot of travel recently. Mostly a quick tour of Ostria, inspections, promotions and training to see to among our military. I miss home, the Walled City. However, I was surprised to note I missed Arx a little more than I imagined I would. Must be the people I know.

The change in leadership within the Lyceum went smoothly. Thankfully. Were violence used, we no doubt would have been involved in an escalating conflict that I don't think we could have survived fully intact. Eleyna will rule well. I should talk to Duke Niccolo to see how he's doing.

Crimson moon and reflection, a night of heady music and the pulse of drums. I must thank Cerberus for the reminder of the steps that I'd forgotten, and those that I had not, and the Crimson Death for her conversation, and offer to entice others so that I might complete my task. Alas, I seem to have failed, as time ran short and most were otherwise engaged. Still, it was a night to be remembered, and good to come out of the studio for a while. Needless to say, I have been inspired for a new piece or two by the experience.

Decided to test the fit of my new Rubicund and Exotic mix leather armor I had made up. This turned into a spar against Lord Corban, he's a wiley opponent, and I look forward to further bouts with this man, he is a good test of both armor and skill.

A quieter week after the prior times of strife and trouble. However I have a new project to undertake, and have had an interesting meeting with Princess Freja about shamanistic matters that I hope may yield some useful fruit in the near future.

Oh, you are some kind of 'trophy'. It's like I won the game of 'Do you want to be annoyed for the rest of your life?' and you were the prize.

Also, wait, what. Becoming a Voice means more paperwork and I'm not sure I'm prepared for this. I just wanted to be a trophy consort husband.

My cousin, she has her talents, so very different from mine. Nonetheless an asset to House Artiglio, House Velenosa and the Compact.

It's been a relatively productive week! I was able to meet many of the local merchants and traders, as well as begin to negotiate agreements with at least three houses and some other organizations. The Laurents were kind enough to throw a party to welcome us Farshaws, and now we're preparing to go visit them for dinner, which I am looking forward to.

Relationship Note on Eleyna
You're currently already mad because even though I was just trying to help you put your things away, you thought they were going in the wrong containers.
That's why I'm writing this so you can get to it later, when you're less angry, so more likely to look at this objectively.
Hiss was hungry so she ate your new tarantula. RIP Princess Foxglove. Sorry Oleander, it's better this way, she was probably going to eat you after you scored anyway.

I'm not much of a scout, but from what Princess Reese said, scouting won't be where I'll be needed.
I wish Dame Esoka and her compatriots good luck, though. And the favour of the gods in their efforts.

Lady Neve thinks I should seek out spiritual guidance for the issues that vex me. I don't think she's wrong. I have a few different reasons. I'm devoted to the pantheon, but I admit that I do not have the firmest grasp of the dogma, and mostly I just try to live my life according to the Virtues of the Gods.
Still. Meetings and talks would be good. I look forward to it. Now I just need to write the letters and ask for audiences.
