I'm not surprised Prince Victus won in his fight against Princess Reese. Though I do think given a few more rounds, Princess Reese would've found herself the victor. Assuming, of course, she could've kept standing.

Scents are a trend? Well I suppose it makes a much sense as girls getting excited over the latest color for dresses. I think my favorite scents then are those that remind me of the trees, and the forest. I miss the smell of damp earth, wood smoke, the tang of fresh cut wood.

Relationship Note on Anze
Soon to be Lord Anze Malvici. I cannot express how honored I felt to be included in the signing of your contract and how much I look forward to your vows being exchanged with those of my cousin. I know others have said it, but I'll say it anyway. The love he shares with my cousin is so strong. There cannot be a soul in Arvum who would doubt that the two of them are so well matched in friendship and love. The Hall certainly would be so much more quiet with out him joining us here. At least he's finally seemed to figure out where his shirts vanished to.

Only a couple months till my birthday comes around again. It's odd to think how different things feel in the city this year. That the siege was weighting upon us and we'd been preparing for the Battle of Giant's fall. Now my cousins are all marrying one by one and a giant skull sits in the Square as a reminder of what the people of Arvum can do. I think it's a wonderful symbol, of occasionally jarring to spy out the windows on early mornings or late at night.
May your hopes find safe harbors.

I have many favored scents. Most of them, you cannot smell here in Arx, not fully. Eurusian spices, the strong smell of the sea all around you, the fragrant tropical flowers of Petrioch. Then of course, there is the paints that I use, or the scent of freshly cut wood.
But my favorite scent of all of them is the one I can be smelling every day. And that smells like home.

I am unaccustomed to sailing seas on which I do not know how to navigate. My time on the ocean has been enough so that it is a familiar ebb and flow. Even the storms that pull one out and drag one free from sight of land are not without their appeal, perhaps especially appealing. But at times I find myself adrift. Maybe that, in and of itself, holds a certain appeal. At least the stars are beautiful from the midst of an uncertain sea.

And thus, it is done. The arduous process that I will have to keep up if I like it and prefer to keep it looking like such. But a change is good, a change is necessary and I think that I quite needed it. If I don't, then it will just be another arduous process to revert it.
The pallid princess of Valardin is no longer sporting flaxen locks. We shall see how this shall be received. I think I will like it. I had better, for it is my own hair.

Relationship Note on Abbas
I spoke to the Warlord of the Mourning Isles this week. Shared rum with him. I also spoke to the High Lord of Thrax when he visited the Gauntlet.
Warlord Abbas and High Lord Victus are more similar than not, I suspect. And while I do not know that I will ever understand the hardscrabble life of the Mourning Isles, there's mutual respect to be had for the core of who we are and what we do.

I think that Lord Ansel did me a great favour by making me an official record keeper of the Gauntlet. The number of fine people with an interest in bettering themselves physically that I've met as a direct result is delightful.
My own personal record is dwarfed by several of the people visiting. Which means I can only keep trying.

Change seem to be in the air with the turning of the leaves. Though there is much more than I bargained for.
Some so very good. Some I am not so sure of. I suppose we shall see.
But my heart is open and, as always, I am hopeful for very good things.

The Whisper House continues to help gather support in aid with the Mercies of Lagoma in a most noble endeavour. I do hope there are more of my dear Whispers willing to help, after all these efforts are at the heart of our wonderful House, amongst many other honourable causes as well as political ones.
The Great Houses and their Voices have all be very responsive and generous, but I do look forward to seeing many more leaders within the peerages and, I hope, with those outside of it. The emotional and mental impact of tragedy can be over looked -- I am most glad to assist in something that sees all recovery is available to whomever needs it.
Every little bit helps.

I finished decorating the Oak Suite at Keaton Hall, and... amazingly, Kael really liked it. The thing I was most anxious about, the painting, well. It went over perfectly.
I thank Limerance daily for guiding Kael and I together. The path getting to this point was arduous, painful and... But I have faith in the gods and in their plan. In this case, it certainly won out because while I had thought to never marry, to free myself from nobility, instead I am gifted a husband who I respect, who I admire and who is ... well. I will not gush.
I just am thankful.

I wrote a poem. I think that it is a very good poem.
Your eyes glisten like the scales of a fish.
Your skin tastes like the Salt,
It is the color of a fine rum.
The touch of your hands is rough;
Like the planks of a well used ship deck.

Relationship Note on Ian
I know what it's like not being able to have what you want. Although, under different circumstances. Very, very, very different circumstances. I just...I don't know how you can accept that this is the way things will be. Forever.
