Relationship Note on Laric

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.)

Conversations have ways to take on a life of there own it seems. A simple greeting can sometimes send you upon a journey that you never thought possible. Question things that you never thought to question. Provide answers you never thought to seek.

Keep your head down, Aksel, you aren't here to think or go on journey's of discovery. You know who you are. If you ever forget, just remember one thing. It's simple.

Had the opportunity to meet with Keaton vassals for the first time, in the form of Sir Tarrant Moore and his sister Lady Tessa. They are polite, Sir Tarrant the very image of a Valardin Knight.

I look forward to getting to know them better. Princess Katarina dropped by as well and there was a very curious conversation that followed. I need to spend more time with other Scholars and those of the Faith.

One of the wisest things I've done in my life is marry Cara, who is much wiser than I and possesses a far sharper common sense. One of the stupidest things I've done in the last month is ignore that common sense in favor of my own decidedly lacking marital intuition. As consequence, I will be on bedrest for the foreseeable future, at least until this dastardly inconvenient wound recovers. Most of my business will have to be conducted in our chambers or in the nearby vicinity.

At least some blessed soul saw fit to gift me a wonderfully comfortable couch for my office in the days preceding my incident. I have moved it to the manor for the time being.

If oNly Someone would come forwArd and take credit for this generositY. I would be so very Appreciative.

I learned quite a bit from the naval exercise. First among that is that I have zero patience. However, I knew that.

Second is that I have a lot to learn. Part of me thinks that I shouldn't admit that I've a lot to learn, but then I go....why not? Whatever.

Now that I've come out of mourning, I've been reading through the journals to capture snippets of information about my family - particularly my brothers. I miss them so much, and I fear that I never truly got a chance to know them as people - what with being fostered away from them almost always. I had hoped to get to know them better when I came to Arx, and then they went on to be heroes who sacrificed their lives for the safety of others.

I admire them for their sacrifice, but also hate them a little bit too - for now I'm left putting the family back together without their wisdom. I can't ever hope to fill their shoes, they were made from a different cloth than I. But, I do hope, beyond hope, that I can do justice by the family.

There are moments though, that catch me off guard, where I wish I could be like Iovita and run home back to Granato and forget about what happened here. But, that's not my nature. There's work to be done, and I will do it.

I can name the people I trust on one hand. Sometimes I wonder if I should be better about trusting.

The recent naval maneuvers have concluded to satisfaction. Some key lessons were learned by varied folk of many fealties; many of whom are talented but inexperienced. It is best that such lessons are learned now, at the cost of brused and broken teeth, rather than learned in earnest on the tides of war.

Whether or not such will be enough...
We shall sea.

"I wasn't aware there was anything other -than- sailing and flirting. Oh yes, drinking. And swimming."

IRON PENTATHLON 1006 AR

Iron Cup Winner: House Grayson

5000 Metre Race:
Gold = Duke Cristoph Laurent
Silver = Princess Reese Grayson
Bronze = Princess Marian Redrain

400 Metre Swim:
Gold = Princess Reese Grayson
Silver = Dame Esoka Greenblood
Bronze = Dame Alexis Wyrmfang

Horse Show Jumping:
Gold = Master Tristan
Silver = Lady Jael Laurent
Bronze = Prince Aiden Grayson

Archery:
Gold = Prince Fiachra Valardin
Silver = Mistress Shard
Bronze = Lord Estaban Saik

Duel Tournament:
Gold = Prince Luca Grayson
Silver = Dame Alexis Wyrmfang
Bronze = Princess Reese Grayson

Princess Reese accumulated the most medals out of any participant -- one of each -- while Dame Alexis Wyrmfang had the second most (Silver and Bronze).

House Valardin contributed the most resources to the Iron Guard and filled their roster completely! Their ability to rally together and contribute to a cause is very admirable.

Thank you, everyone. It was a pleasure to run and I will likely do it again.

I've always done some sketch work, in a pad that I kept tucked away from the sight of prying eyes. I liked that more than writing in journals, even this one. Sorry, Vellichor. It wasn't until we opened up the shop that I decided to bother trying to sell any of it. I've been pleasantly surprised to see that people actually want to buy the crap that I'm able to produce. Even if I'm mildly concerned with this city's obsession with animals. If there's a market for painting kittens and puppies and other adorable things, then I'm fine with making some extra cash that way. I'm sure Gild doesn't mind.

I also find that working art can be relaxing and quite contrary to other aspects of my life. That said I've spent an undue amount of time tonight painting detailed images of spiders at a wedding and I think it's ruined me for sleep tonight. I'm going to scrub my eyes and return home.

It has been quite the Year, and battle has worn me down. However, I am happy that I still do have friends. I've come to terms with some things in life, things that took a lot of Faith to get through, but still much I have to consider, before I can be happy, perhaps. Battle leaves one quite weary. The siege took a lot from many.

They did not get me doing it. I just did not do it. I rather enjoy puns. I wrote a whole poem of puns to someone. I found it quite entertaining.

The next person to publish a White Reflection containing an ocean pun will receive a pecuniary reward from Archlector Aureth Grayhope, of either 20 economic or 50 social writs. At your preference. Limited time offer.

I'm just here to sea the wash of puns come into the journals.
