Honestly, I don't see the problem with walking shop to shop with a bottle of strawberry wine in hand, open, necking it. When you're on the arm of your wife and she wants to go shopping, you have to find your means of survival. For me, it's getting progressively drunker. It makes it more fun.
For me. She didn't seem terribly impressed.

Relationship Note on Dagon
I find that when you have to publicly reaffirm your trustworthiness. You are untrustworthy. There should be no need to be so defensive when you've got nothing to hide. In fact making an issue out of nothing is the quickest way to draw suspicion. I'd advise against it, but such words would no doubt fall on deaf ears. I can say this much however, no one truly cares about hurt feelings at a time like this. Put on your big boy britches and stop being so divisive and inflammatory. I can congratulate you on one thing though. You've moved on from airing dirty laundry in the whites to full blown proclamations. That is amusing in and of itself. Sad, but amusing. When a matter is laid to rest, let is rest. Time will be your greatest ally in mending the reputation of your House, acts such as these only lend credence to those who would discredit you as being spawn of the Abyss and a treasonous turncoat. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but you really are starting to resemble Donrai more and more everyday.

A small prayer to the Queen of Endings,
Your Archlector said you liked puns, and I've been trying to think one up to offer to you. I was going to pray a joke to you about paper, but I realized it was tearable.

Often I have thought back to that moment where I made my way onto the ramparts. Many times I have asked myself what would have happened had I chosen to go somewhere else. I'm glad that I did not make a different choice.
I look forward to our future together. I wish that I could find the words to describe how everything feels at this moment, but the only word that comes to mind is infinite.

Relationship Note on Nicia
I don't often use the white journals as a place to discuss my personal life. But a marriage is more than just an event that occurs between two people, at least in the world that I come from. It's a joining of two houses, two families. A pooling of resources to the betterment of others beyond yourself.
This week I experienced what was without a doubt one of the best moments of my life, but also, somehow, among the scariest. Nicia Pravus agreed to be my wife and my life partner. I have the utmost faith that she will be one of the greatest duchesses that House Laurent has ever seen. She's a brilliant woman, eloquent and brave. And I don't think there was a better choice for myself or family than her.
Though I may be biased.
A great thank you to everyone that came to our small ceremony, we look forward to seeing you at the reception as well.

******************************
From this day forth, Miss Leola Allenatore will be known as Dame Leola Allenatore, Knight of House Malvici. Please join me in congratulating her on the well deserved honor.
Much to her chagrin and embarrassment, I'm sure, I would like to add to this proclamation the list of accomplishments she has made over her years in service of our house and the Compact as a whole. Dame Leola served us in the siege as the Paladin of Groves, a key member in our fight against Brand. Her commitment to the Gods, and especially Petrichor, has been expressed in countless ways. But to name a few, Dame Leola helped to heal and purify our withered forests after the siege, built the Lodge in His honor and service, cared for the entrapped animals and ensured their survival. She also took measures to see that the King was well protected in his illness, training dogs to keep watch over him as he slept. It is for all of this and so much more I am very proud to elevate hr to the status of Knight.
Duchess General Calypso Malvici of Southport
********************
I need a record of this, to hold and keep forever. I can't believe it. I can't. It's too wonderful. I only sought to serve, not to promote myself.

The Faith of the Pantheon has been a guiding force for me all of my life. My grandfather taught me the virtues to be found in the loyalty of Limerance and the justice of the Sentinel, and to honor the bounty and life bestowed upon us by the forces of Petrichor and Mangata. I came to know and honor all the gods, but Gloria has always sung especially strong in my heart. Her way is to live your life with courage, boldness, and a valiant heart. Whether on the battlefield or in the other aspects of one's life. I do not always live up to these virtues. But I try to.
It is with that effort in mind that I've taken on a discipleship as one of Gloria's Devoted. I would learn how to better serve the Faith in my small way, and to better know and love the goddess. Honors be, I pray I shall be worthy and serve well.

BEST DAY EVER. Seriously. I'm sitting here writing this covered in dried blood I had to write this down right away.
Ever have a day where you wake up and then suddenly your someplace you don't know how you got there? Or why and you figure, hey it's a dream. This is going to be cool. So you go with it, but things start to twist a bit. The dream feels more like reality and slowly, very slowly you 'wake' up from this dream? Man. I am so giddy I don't even know how to write the words. I haven't felt so alive as I do right now since coming to this city. I want to sleep. But.. I'm afraid that if I do I will just wake up from the dream and realize it wasn't real.
So. I hope this was truly the BEST DAY EVER and not some dream. I'd be more then a little pissed about it.

Elated. Hopeful. So very grateful.
This is how I feel after the generosity shown by so many who came to support the Golden Hart’s recent Pennants Ball in support of those affected by the devastating attack upon Thrax ships in our harbour.
I am so very happy to report that the event was hugely successful, and a remarkable number of people rallied behind the cause, helping us to raise more than 1,280 economic writs as well as an additional 706 on military writs to assist those affected by this terrible tragedy. It is truly wonderful thing to see and so very needed during this dark and trying time.
My heart is always deeply touched by the generosity and good will of the people in this city and successful events such as these cannot be done alone.
There are so many I would like to thank, but in particular I would like to acknowledge the work of the lovely and generous Princess Alarissa for helping me to host Pennant Ball and for joining me in vowing that all donations raised under her name will be gifted to the cause. Her vivacious spirit and tireless support of this good work inspires me.
I would also like to extend my heartfelt thanks and deepest appreciation to the following good people who helped us raise the more than 700 military writs and an additional 55 economic writs for the cause:
Princess Alis Valardin, Lord Dame Alexis Wyrmfang, Artorius Malvici, Mistress Korka Glynn, Duchess Lydia Nightgold on behalf of House Nightgold, Misser Tarik Morien, Prince Talen Velenosa, Sister Thena Grayhope on behalf of the Knights of Solace and Lord Wash Kennex
Your kindness and grace in a time of great need humbles me. Thank you so very much for your compassion and generosity.
I love the people of this realm with all my heart. I am so proud to serve you and stand with you. Thank you to everyone who attended our event and were so generous with their time and donations to this and other charitable activities across the city.
Alone we can do so little, but together we can do so much.
Hold fast.

It's surprisingly nice to sit down with people I don't know well and just /talk/, especially about things that /aren't/ the fate of the Compact -- or the world. I sometimes feel like I've become stuck in a bit of a pattern; investigate a thing, bring the information to someone, talk to someone else who has questions on a topic, help them investigate another thing, and so on.
I don't mind that -- I find helping others rewarding -- but there's something to be said for just discussing philosophy, or life in general, rather than everything being a crisis.
And besides, you never know when you might make a new friend.

Arx is crowded. I feel hemmed in on all sides from the moment I exit the building where I am housed, until I have traveled far enough into the woods that I can no longer see the walls. Only then am I able to breathe again. But I have met some of the others who owe their fealty to Redrain, and I am comforted by the fact that they seem to share a similar set of mind as those of Ravenseye.

I'm so happy to be able to welcome her to the family, and hope that she enjoys her first visit to Sanctum. (They are busting out the GOOD sacramental wine for this). I almost feel I should apologize in advance, knowing that as someone I am soon to call sister, I am bound to become as overprotective of her as I am of my brother.
I promise I won't throw shoes at you, Caelis. I save that for Edain.
