I am going to undertake a vow, to Limerance, that I hope will help lift the weight of shame of some of the things I have done and also failed to do in my life as I work to fulfill my promise. I met with Archlector Ilvin to discuss my penance, and to ask questions about situations where different duties, different loves pull you in many directions. How do you resolve the internal conflict? How do you best honor your vows? It was an interesting discussion, over these little cookies he has for supplicants.
Though it will take time to internalize the advice I was given, and to compose the vow with the right words, I hope that the gods, and maybe my papa in Elysium will know that though imperfect, I am trying harder to become who they, and I too, want to be.

I have spent the last week or so under the weather and recuperating at home. I am glad to return to the Barracks and do my turn in annoying an Inquisitor. Additionally, I will be insisting the kitchen serve iced tea to help us deal with the sweltering summer heat. It will be sufficiently sweetened.

Relationship Note on Thistle
The courtesan will be handling a dinner hosted by House Blackwood for House Thrax guests. She has been working with Victus for a while now and we hope to see her how this event goes. I like to do my business with food so if all goes well I can see house Thrax hiring her services again.

always a shame when a man of the law damns himself to pun-jail.
Also, as a side note, after a long talk with Gisele, I am feeling both incredibly light on my feet, far more well-informed, and of the feeling I will be watching the quality of my journals more closely in the future...
Sorry about that, Vellichor.

Punishment for bad puns would be simple: Pun jail. What is pun jail? The place where all of the badly punning people go. Stick them all in one cell together, and check in every decade to see if they're still at it.
A special award will be left for the last man/woman/person punning. We'll ask the Deathlector to check if the dead ones have given up or not.

Relationship Note on Juliet
I know I'm one of many that has had the privilege of kissing Juliet, as much as I'm sure I'm not the only one that has scented a rose that bloomed so gloriously. While I never did more than kiss the lovely creature, I did speak to her now and then. Hard, brazen, and still as soft as velvet petals. I hope Death keeps you, spins you on to the next life without a fuss.

We're short on recipes in these archives, scholar, and just in case Gods don't eat what we mortals can, I want to make sure I'm doing my best to share with Them as best I'm amble.

I would recommend to anyone that does not enjoy what another person writes in their white journal...perhaps don't read it. Do not take it off of the shelf, open it up, look at the pages. There are so many people in this city, each with their own journal, it should not be difficult to entertain yourself for the hour you have devoted to such things by reading journals that do not offend. It puzzles me, to realize that so many people actively go out of their way to offend themselves. If there is someone whose pages or penmanship irritates you, do not select it to read, again.
If it hurts, if it is unpleasant, I recommend against doing it if it is not a necessary thing. It is advice that can apply to many more things than reading journals.

Relationship Note on Juliet
There have been an astounding amount of new faces, almost all southern, that I've met coming down from our Homeland and to this city. In a lot of ways I expected it to be worse. Absolutely there have been some growing pains, but the people I've met are very well worth it.
I was shocked how well I got along with Juliet, I tracked her down fucking proper one might say to answer a burning question about these southerners. There answer is six by the way. And getting the answer turned out to be a great deal of fun.
I never thought I would enjoy gossip about women and drinking wine, it was the most southern thing I've ever experienced, no lady has ever been more southern, and I was a fan and certainly so was Gustaf. I'll miss those meetings, and it's a shame our last conversation was a tense one. I'll give Gustaf some milk in your honor, but I'm not drawing shit on my sword.

While I don't always like what I read in the white journals. I certainly wasn't expecting to ever read about eyeball licking in progress, I will say that it does serve an interesting point to the preservation of future knowledge. It will show future generations that their forebears were just as strange and wonderful as they are. I like the idea of an unfiltered lens into the past, to show that for all the differences between us and those that came before, we're all in essence the same as we've always been. We have the same fears, the same desires. We love, we laugh and we make weird jokes. Honestly, I think that's all valuable in some way to the future preservation of everything, even if it makes us all sigh a little when we read them today.

I must apologize to Vellichor. I have counselled many on my belief that He does not judge the contents of our journals (while still encouraging people to consider the legacy of what they leave in the Archives for generations to come). But I have it now from the very highest authority that He is, in fact, occasionally driven to sighs over what is considered suitable for preservation through the ages.

Relationship Note on Leona
Dame Leona Thrax, the Lord Commander of the King's Own. She seems an honorable and capable woman, every bit what Rainier's described her as in the past.
But gods and spirits, she's a demon when it comes to training!
Running an obstacle course backwards while defending oneself... it's actually practical, gods know. I've been forced to move backwards on uneven terrain by something attacking me more than once in the field. But running the obstacle course once, doing the attacking-along-it twice, and then running the course a fourth time... I know I've been behind a desk at the Society too long, but every joint aches.
It's a good ache, mind you, but an ache nonetheless. (In contrast, I don't think she even broke a sweat. And that backflip was really just excessive.)
But she invited me back to train more. I have a feeling that's only the beginning of what she could -- and would -- put me through. Still, it can only help my performance in the field when I get out there and /explore/ properly again, so perhaps I'll take her up on it.

Relationship Note on Aislin
She was sent to me to help her get into shape, by someone who knew exactly how I trained my people. She didn't fall out, I'll give her that, and she kept up as well as could be expected. I didn't have the heart to tell her that what she experienced was what we did before weaponswork, but she also has an invitation to come back. She's Knight-Lieutenant Rainier's relation, and there are worse families around. She didn't complain either, it should be noted, and that workout is one that makes more than a few complain.
As an aside, I really need to find out which of those squires thought I was a monster for that easy little jaunt so he can find out what a monstrous workout is really like.

Relationship Note on Juliet
This journal may cost me friends but know what, fuck you.
My blunt honesty was something she said she loved about me, so I'm going to honor that and be who I am.
Juliet betrayed me. Broke my heart - and yes, I have one and yes, I cared for her.
When we first became lovers, I told her I did not want to give my affection and time to someone who placed themselves in harms way. Leave that to me. I didn't want to go through the grief and pain of losing someone to a horrific death on the battlefield.
So what does she do? Goes off and fights Brand.
I would -never- stand in the way of duty; we Malvici know that all to well. Duty always comes first.
But she had to put herself in that situation and I couldn't deal.
Then she went and got herself really messily killed. I don't know what, or what why... but it was everything I told her I couldn't bear to live through again.
So yes. I was going to break off our relationship. Even before she made a fool out of us at the Auction. That would have been our last time together. All of this, I would have told her.
And I'm also -pissed- no-one has let me see the scene. I'm a fucking doctor and have seen plenty of things just as obscene. So fuck you, don't try to shelter me, let me do my damn job and try to find out what happened to my friend. Let me face that nightmare and be done with it.

Today I feel as though I've sent Lady Aislin to her doom. No pain, no gain.
I've been in her place before under the very same instructor. There will be sweat and possibly tears. That very same instructor made me rethink my life choices a number of times.

Should innuendo and/or puns ever be outlawed its obvious that the punishment should be a good tongue lashing.
Please note that the scholars may take some time preparing your journal for others to read.
