A fragment of a dream:
Beneath a waning moon, a still and glassy sea. Sky-blue eyes filled with common sand. Seaweed tangled in wet hair. The sluggish pull of the ebb-tide was still a draw, clarion clear. The breeze was soft, salted, and it tasted like the ice of the Mourning Isles. The wind made no ripple across the water. No footsteps marked the sand where I walked and walked in no direction.

Relationship Note on Caelis
Lady Admiral Caelis Malvici is an amazing woman who I have become quite fond of these past several months. With the love of the sea deeply embedded within her as it is myself, and a willingness to change the world around us by sheer force of will, compassion and charm, I cannot help but wonder if she and I were sisters in a past life. We were able to share what was on our hearts as I am preparing for my wedding later this evening, and I am left all the more enamored with her.
Here is to hoping that our fates remain forever entwined, and Mangata continues to lay her blessings upon us, Caelis. We will need them in the days to come, if we're to accomplish all we desire for our people.

While I have only been in the Arx for a few short days, I have been made aware of no small amount of trouble and danger. While in another life this would have been of selfish concern alone it is no longer such a thing. I have found swiftly that the more that I am responsible for, the more each trouble encompasses my mind. What once would have been a molehill has now become a mountain.

My wife loves all things colorful, and that includes butterflies. We have them in Stonewood of course, but do I know enough to assist in designing a habitat for them? Give me a trade deal to negotiate or a squabble to sort out, and take these butterflies!

I'm not very good at putting my thoughts down on paper, not that I do not spend plenty of time thinking them, but I've always felt that once they are written they become somewhat more real, more finite, more apt to focus the attention. When logic and reasoning, or circumstances and new knowledge means those thoughts have changed, or adapted...those words are still there. On paper.
Due to that, I'm not a very prolific writer.
I'm going to try and change that, I think. We shall see if I become better at such things in time. Less apt to want to scratch it all out so that an old thought isn't still glaring at me like some evil accusation of a changed mind.

Dear Compact,
I am starting a second hand shop called the Second Strand. It is part of my main shop the Tangled Skein. It is not open for business quite yet. I am looking to purchase clothing, armor, weapons, books and other items that have been gently used and are still in good condition. These items will then be resold.
If interested please send me a message or come by my shop so I can see your items and quote a price. I am looking for items that are worthy of being resold only. If you know the crafter who made your item, I would love their name so they can be credited with their work and so I can let the new owner know. This is a great way to reuse items no longer desired.
I will not take items made by crafters that are currently in business, unless I have their express permission to accept a certain item and I will only ask if I think the item is unique. I am looking for either unique items, items made by crafters who are no longer in town, no longer living or no longer working as a crafter.
Thanks, Petal

Barely two weeks in the Faith and already my path is going places I have not anticipated. Places that apparently require me to be charming and poised and diplomatic.
I know some of you reading this are laughing.
"We are travelers on roads without end." That suits, though. That definitely suits.

I thought you were to be my rock and then you become the tempest itself!
I have been spun into the sweetest chaos. It is a rare and lovely thing to be this surprised by such a lovely thing.

Relationship Note on Kael
Today I learned that an alcohol's potency is quite likely in direct and inverse proportion to the amount that they give to you as a serving. This is something I shall keep in mind for the future most assuredly.
My lord Keaton has been sweetening my mead with additional honey to assist me in my goals towards someday developing a palette for wine.
He is an exceptionally observant man. Unsurprising, I suppose, should one consider his family.
I -- I shall have to keep further observances to myself.

Meeting you was both awkward, yet delightfully pleasant... Much like a hand job from a stranger. You don't know how it's going to go in the beginning, but once you put it out there you realize it's just a great experience.

It's been some time Vellichor. This week has been interesting for sure, getting to know lots of new faces and making new friends. My lovely princeling, whom chafes at that word mind you, introduced me to the most lovely Duchess. So beautiful, kindly and sweet she was. Most certainly I will have to grace her courts more often. My sweet sun and stars has been a delightful companion throughout these long days, and even longer nights. When I am old, and look back on my life. It will be the fond moments like these that will bolster my spirit. I thank the Gods for their many blessings upon me, and I have prayed that they do so for the many others in Arx. My House remains a home and not the sanctum it should be, of course I have been tending to that as well. Stirring up the fires of solidarity among my clan, and dusting off the old tomes where our family histories have been penned. It is my hope to discover a great deal about our House, the secrets that have been lost to time. To read the stories of my family's trials and tribulations. Knowledge is the most powerful tool in my arsenal, and with it. I will move the very heavens and earth to leave my mark - or at the very least find some interesting shit my family had been up to.

Three Things:
1) No, I am not becoming Godsworn. I will be swearing an oath to not carry through with some of the actions of my past that I now regret. And I will be taking further action to make amends with the Faith.
2) If I wanted to wreak havoc in Arx I would taint paper with disease. I would make sure your journal entries from now until the future are done in trusted sources. One could wipe out much of Arx through the liability of our journal addiction. The recent blank pages made me consider this.
3) No I didn't poison or have anything to do with it.

Relationship Note on Miles
A chance encounter allowed our paths to cross and it was good to see the cynical old man again. Thankfully I was injured, so he had little reason to berate me for my shortcomings! There's something special about a person who recognizes the value of inconveniencing an opponent, even after they've turned you to ashes. Indeed the only thing that one could hope for is that you can work your way up their nose and cause them some discomfort.
I'll have to be sure to invite Sir Miles Lockton to one of our dinners at Deepwood's manor some evening when we have one of the gatherings the Marquessa's so fond of having. We've decided that we should have some sort of game or test of skill at them, following the evening meal. Maybe when Sir Miles is present I'll think up something especially taxing and potentially brutal, all in the hopes of giving some adequate scrapes and bruises for him to attend to. It'll make him feel right at home, telling his fellow dinner guests that they're idiots for not being better at whatever it is they've failed to do, and he wouldn't need to patch them up if they'd only went left instead of right. I do believe I once heard him tell a young squire of the King's Own to "get good", but I could be mistaken.

As of late I have been making progress. Soon I shall work with the Faith and swear my vows. I have taken actions in the direction of the Pantheon. I am not a man who sits idle and talks. My words are backed by action and by the guidance of Mangata.
