In answer to the question: "Could this night be any more mortifying?"
Yes, yes, it could. Without a doubt.
Fortunately tomorrow is another day.

I did it. I went an entire night at a noble's ball, didn't break a sweat, didn't swear too much and didn't get utterly drunk. How I did so I got no fucking idea. Really I just wish I could document it in even the slightest of fancy words just so that I could remember it later, but maybe it was just meant to be a fucking miracle. You understand don't you, Scribe? Maybe you can think of something for me while we're sitting here.

I feel blessed to be a part of this city, of these people. Spirits preserve me, but tonight was fantastical. How can I ever contain this much gratitude?

Relationship Note on Denica
*A sketch of a cat. A rather majestic cat. All fluffy, and full of light colored fur, and shining eyes. The cat has a slightly mischevious look, for all her aloofness.*

Relationship Note on Felicia
*A slightly shaky sketch of Dame Felicia, on the back of a great black stallion. Her hair has been braided, and she appears to be in the process of putting a helmet on. She's got a serious expression on her face, though a hint of light appears in her eyes.*

Relationship Note on Alaric
*A slightly less shakey than normal sketch of King Alaric Grayson III. He's sitting at a table with vague outlines of people around him. There's a smile on his lips, and a glass raised upward. Attention has been carefully paid to the details of his face; as if the artist were attempting to be as accurate as possible.*

Relationship Note on Alarissa
Along with the Lady Monique, she put together a simply phenomenal event. It was everything one expects from a Great House's ball: elegant, extravagant, dazzling, and delightful, while also delivering the unexpected. It's difficult to imagine the work which must have gone into transplanting grass and flowers into the very dignified main hall of Valardin manor, much less in the dead of winter. On top of the planning, both she and Lady Monique were warm, engaging hostesses, who - as far as I could tell - made every effort to reach out to as many of the (many!) guests that could be found. It truly was a delightful evening.

A return to Maelstrom, once more. Zaina has been on my mind and I miss her more than words can describe Vellichor.

Relationship Note on Kieran
Prince Kieran has become a fast friend of mine. He has been kind and encouraging to me. I can also appreciate that he will be honest with me when the time is right. Well, this doesn't mean he is dishonest by any means! Simply, he will steer me in the right direction unless it is to knock me over into a pool of water somewhere...

I have been experimenting with various substances to put into perfumes that are actually quite caustic. I was recently able to use one of these concoctions against an abyssal wolf that tried to eat me! This particular concoction I have dubbed fire and spice. I distilled the hottest peppers I could get a hold of in Arx. These peppers were distilled to such a concentrated liquid that they make a very effective defensive liquid when splashed in the face! Have you ever eaten a pepper and then accidentally touched your eye? Imagine this in a concentrated form. I used it against this vile abyssa wolf and it yowled in pain, backing away from me until it actually fell over a cliff! I have to say this is a successful use of the potion.

I had the most interesting adventure! I went to the north with some of my fellow clansmen. We went out there to investigate some dark something or another out there. First, we found beauty. There is so much beauty out in the lands to the North. I just couldn't help myself to stand in awe of it. I know I had to annoy a few of my traveling companions when i kept stopping to gather various useful herbs and flora that I found along the way. I simply can't help myself with that.
After admiring the beauty, we came across a small village of Shavs. It actually saddened me when we approached them and they gathered their children to hide from us. It is sad the horrors the Shav people may have had to endure to be so fearful of us. Thankfully, I speak their dialect as did Lady Khanne. We got information from the leader of the village and he sent us in the right direction. I still feel bad that we are so feared that they hide their children from us.
We found a trail that divided into three trails. We decided to head into the hills and what happened was a pack of ravenous wolves tainted with abyssal magic came at us! It was an epic fight! Man swords were raised and many wolves were slain. I felt bad for Freja. The magic in the air did something to her and she simply collapsed. Fergus had to whisk her out of the fight. I even managed to help! I didn't slay wolves perse, but I did disable some enough to make it a LOT easier for the fighters to dispatch of them. Anyways, I hope that with the abyssal wolves gone, the people of those lands can live in peace.

Having met the King and Clover again I think we see eye to eye on one measure most key between us: Lady Clover is the single clumsiest person either of us knows who is still reasonably capable of function as an adult and is, insofar as anyone cna tell, uninjured or handicapped in any significant way. It isa marvel that she has not yet driven Sir Dalan to become bald.
That said, Clover handles herself with grace. Simply not of the variety that involves physical movement.

I was apparently boar-napped while out hunting with friends earlier this week. I don't recall it, but Gaston told me all about it later after they got me back and I was awake.
Spirits are strange and interesting ...creatures ...entities? I would like to learn more about them.

I've made it my personal mission to make the Legate of Concepts the best player of Donkey Knights.
Baby steps. I should just try to get him to try it once. Becoming the very best there ever was will have to come afterward.
I'd better begin stockpiling the alcohol for such an occasion.

After a long journey, I have at last seen Are. The greatest city in Arvum is a thing unlike any I had expected, for better and for worse. I know that Tessa will love it here, where princes and princesses walk the streets (she'll get used to the animals, I hope). Prince Edain's Master of Games has granted me leave to compete in the Tournament of Roses, and I have been honored beyond any reasonable expectation by our overlords of Keaton. Count Kael and Countess Reigna have been unfailingly supportive of the minor cousin of a provincial baron, for which I am most grateful.
So too am I grateful for the favor I carry. It is said that knights fight half with skill, and half with inspiration; if I fail in the joust to come, it can only be for a want of skill.

Common sense is better than a sword, it's true.
But it helps to have both!
(You'd know if the couch is not of my making, of course. Alas it is not.)
