Things have been progressing well enough here in Arx. I am satisfied that the new treaty has been signed, and we have set aside our differences to an extent to allow for better conditions for all. Still, work gets busy and it will always be there, but someone has to do all this stuff sometimes!

Oh, it's very simple, sire. When the Doge did his duty and the Duke didn't, that's when the Duchess did the dirt to the Duke with the Doge.
Who did what to what?
Oh, they all did, sire. There they were in the dark; the Duke with his dagger, the Doge with his dart, Duchess with her dirk.
Duchess with her dirk?
Yes! The Duchess dove at the Duke just when the Duke dove at the Doge. Now the Duke ducked, the Doge dodged, and the Duchess didn't. So the Duke got the Duchess, the Duchess got the Doge, and the Doge got the Duke!

The Gray Forest Patrol was... upsetting. We came across a group of people who had been attacked and a boy who was injured. I'm not sure what they said, I don't speak Shav... but they were running away from "beasts".... and other people.
After we got them to the city, we returned to the forest where we did find a pack of twelve animals, ten of whom were corrupted beyond recognition to their former selves. Black oily fur, glowing eyes, green saliva... the size of bears. Demonic is the only way I can describe them... truly frightening - but at least I was allowed to scout for them prior to the warriors wishing to slay them without thought. Still, there was nothing I could do for them.
At least, for the two normal wolves that remained within the corrupted pack, I was able to do something. I called out to them and they actually listened... They came to me and sought shelter behind me. My companions didn't feel the need then to attack them, as they looked to me as an alpha... They were so traumatized that I returned home to Arx with them in tow, providing them shelter at the Menagerie.
I will stay with them there, until I'm certain I know they'll be okay and they make a choice, a choice to remain in the Menagerie, with me, or to return back to the wild and start a pack anew. I hope to soon learn their names.

Reese organized a patrol I attended last night, but could not make it. Luca was there, and then there were many unfamiliar faces. I met Baron Silas Whitehawk, Dame Esoka Greenblood, Lord Estaban Saik, and Prince Aiden Grayson.
We encountered a shav family and some very unusual wolves. I'll need to remember to tell Aislin about them. We got the family to safety with the Knights of Solace, and turned back to deal with the wolves, much to Aiden's distress; he wanted to capture them if we could. Unfortunately, these were not the sorts of wolves you captured - not with glowing fur and green saliva drooling from their mouths - though there were a handful of normal wolves among them. We dispatched the wolves and returned home, some of us a little worse for wear.
I sincerely hope Reese can forgive me for accidentally shooting Luca. I honestly like him as a brother-in-law and I really, really was aiming for the demon wolf. In fact, I yelled at him a few times for wanting to go after the damnable beasts so quickly, and reminded him that she would never forgive him if something happened to him. I just didn't expect /I'd/ be that something. So, uh. If you're reading this, sorry sis!

I was speaking with Valery about her new perfume scents and that lead to talking about scents I like.
One of them I am sure will get me odd looks, but I love the smell of dog. But I suppose that comes with pretty much growing up in the kennels back home at Oakhaven and sleeping out in the woods on hunts with my pack. It becomes a comforting sort of scent, one that you just grow used to and it is always there.
And now it's not. And I find I miss it a lot, it is harder to sleep. The change in sounds from here in Arx compared to home is different too. I will eventually grow used to it.
I also like the smell of a forest after it rains, something so calm and refreshing about it.

Having had children in the past, and having suffered through the delightful, agonizing joy that is pregnancy, I can say with some measure of truth that pregnant women tend to only throw things at their husbands when said husband's are not putting out.
SO.
Why are you not on that, brother-in-bondage? If you don't start making sweet love to your extra-dimpled, impregnated princess, she's going to start feeling like you don't think she's beautiful whilst swollen with the result of your near-constant 'sowing'. And that just isn't good for anyone.
Seriously. A few climactic bedroom antics several times a week will go a long way in keep the peace, and the injuries to a minimum.
Love,
Serafine

I was asked by Paladin Leola Allenatore to assist in a matter as regards to a sacred place to Petrichor. I helped drive out some who would defile it, and assisted a knight of Petrichor and his allies in battle.
And now I've met this Sir Matthew that Paladin Leola writes of.
He is very dignified and I am grateful for his patience with easily confused Oathlands knights.

Life could not better be, better be, better be. It could not possibly, No sirrah, sir-rah, sirree! Songs could not gayer be. Sound your do-re-o-mi, re-mi-fa-so-la-see, fa-la-la-la follow me! Why be gloomy? Cut thy nose off to spite thy face? Listen to me, A nose is hard to replace! Skies could not bluer be, hearts in love truer be. I say for you or me, life couldn't possibly, not even probably, life couldn't possibly better be! Life could not better be, on a Folly spree. Knights full of chivalry, villains full of villainy! You see, as you suspect, maidens fair in silks bedecked, each pride and true effect for the umpteenth time we resurrect! We did research. Authenticity was a must! Zooks! Did we search?! And what did we find? Ah-choo! A lot of dust! After the dust had cleared , half the cast had a beard. And I'm the one, as you can see, for whom the bell does not tolls merrily. We asked the bards, and playwrights, "Would they declare which one wrote this?" And they both said, "Get outta there!" Which brings us to the plot -plot we've got quite a lot- as it unfolds, you'll see! What starts like a scary tale, ends like a fairy tale, and life couldn't possibly better be!
