What's been going on of late with the animals out west got me worried about the livestock of Graypeak. I'll need to make double sure that we got our good Dogs out to those farmers and whatnot to help where they needed.
And if anyone - anything - ANYTHING threatens the well-being of my Dogs -- well --
I'm coming for them.

I feel as though I need to make a goal for myself, Scholar Constance. With you being my witness today - I shall. One day, I'd like to be a prince.
Or, barring that, a well-dressed fop.
Oh. Wait.
Dreams do come true.

So I got married, Scholar!
Archlector Hamish married me, which was nice. Um. Not like that. I mean he witnessed our vows.
For once in life, I'm truly happy.
Normal service will be resumed in... well, probably the next time some silk swans in where they ain't wanted. But there was a silk at the shrine who was happy for us and wished us joy, and she got invited to the party. I sent her a proper letter saying so and everything.

Something drove us both to say something, that it was at Death's Shrine was fitting to us both. A noblewoman, one that Raymesin was actually -nice- too, bore witness and it was quite by accident. She was patient and polite and wished us well, and between her and Blessed Hamish I felt suitably seen. No change of names, simple vows that are far from small. This was for us.

Quite by accident I stumbled upon the wedding of Raymesin Ulbran and Tanith Grayhope when visiting the Shrine of the Queen of Endings today. It was a short, simple ceremony, but the love I saw between them was as grand as any ceremony I've been witness to. I wish many years of joy and prosperity to the happy couple.

I suppose it is rather odd, isn't it? Getting married in Death's Shrine. Stranger still that it doesn't feel that way to me.
Scholar. Why are you looking at me funny?

Had a somewhat Malvici party at the Hundred Cities Inn this evening. Proved entertaining, as did the stories that ensued. Nobody can say Malvicis can't drink. Or if you talk to the Sword, be fashionable...Or something.

Rukhnis has me on a steady diet of bone broth, eggs, cooked vegetables drenched in butter and salt, and some fruit from Southport or the Ashford orangery in the evening. She and my cousin Clara have also concocted two types of tea that help to reduce inflammation: one with some manner of stimulant for the morning, and the second meant to relax my body in the evening.
I've been walking around more, even returned to training with Leonce. My body's still stiff, and my strength has not returned, but I'm feeling better everyday. Such are the benefits to living with two skilled physicians.
With time away from marital training, I've sought to develop my investigative skills. Lord Bedivere Whitehawk has shown me various techniques for searching the archives, and even ways to systematically examine the environment to deduce information from what is or is not found.
My senses have reawakened under the training of Count Giulio Corvini. The time in captivity was alternating periods of intense physical suffering and dreadful rumination, and it had dulled my senses considerably. Count Giulio has give me techniques to return my attention to scents, hearing, touch, taste and sight. He has regenerated the animal inside that the shavs attempted to beat into submission.

To visit the Baroness Hope Chantreuxe-Devirre of Brindleberry Wood has been a unique and singular experience. I can certainly see why it is spoken of in hushed whispers with reverence. To be the guest of honour in her annual ball more-over so, and I hope the hermits of the Brindleberry Wood think fondly of me. I shall endeavour to sing their praises, and to see to it that her generosity is not forgotten. Her name is apt, and I am sure I will find others that she has an interest in meeting - and who would be interested in meeting her.

Relationship Note on Leola
Dame Leola gifted me this very pretty dress. Now I need A. a place to wear it to and B. weather to warm up so I won't be cold and C.a nice gift to give in return. I'm crap at this kind of thing.
My brother Olivian gave me a necklace to match it too. So I gave him some oakhide. To be fair, it was to trade for something else, but still. Enjoy little bro.

My children adore winter. This is their first with real snow. Southport stays sunny almost year round and it's too warm for snow, so this is really the first time they've seen it. They make snow forts and attack one another with snowballs. Iris learned the hard way you can't bring them indoors. Much tears were had.

The more my dreams piece themselves together given new information I come across, my heart seems rend into pieces at the meaning.
Thankfully, there has been some solace found where my mind can be set aside for a time - I am grateful for this new found comfort.

I often find myself wondering about people. Not in a negative sense, for people are lovely. I find myself curious what composes them, beyond the bones and structure. What motivates them to make the decisions they make? What drives one person to jealousy, to madness, or to release and to contentment?
I suppose I am often just wondering and this is perhaps why I'm starting to be known as asking so many questions.

I found my misplaced copy of the first part of Salacious Breadcrumbs!
But fortune is not done with me for now I have been gifted FOUR copies of The Baron and the Salacious Breadcrumb, Pt. 3! FOUR! I still do not know the identity of the author, but I am grateful to them nonetheless, for this newest read. It's... titillating. Even more so than the first two, and I admit, when the delivery of the box of scones and books came for me, I was caught red-handed re-reading part two.
Now, one of the copies of the Salacious Part 3 will be put in the fiction shelves of the library, along with its counterparts, for all to enjoy, and one has already been spoken for, with the amount being donated in full to the Crafters Guild. That leaves two copies. And these two copies, I have been given leave to set the price at whatever I wish, by the author. A dangerous prospect, to be sure. But I think that 100,000 silver each is enough.
Now, the proceeds from the first book will be donated entirely to the Crafters Guild, and the proceeds from the second will be donated to a charity cause that I will announce as soon as I hear back from a certain noble someone.
Goodness, I love authors! Especially exceptionally talented authors with a distinct sense of mischief and a penchant for wicked innuendo. Together, indeed. Hah!

I shouldn't be overly fond of one dress over another, though hearing of Princess Sabella in diamonds of ironwool makes me rather delighted indeed.
Such symmetries, such beauty. I hope it pleased her.

Relationship Note on Darren
Our sixth year anniversary of marriage is soon upon us (7th day of the 2nd month Darren) and I find myself reflecting upon our joined life of marriage. It has not always been the easiest years to live within Arx, but my husband has made the time filled with effortless love and commitment.
I remember his first announcement of our betrothal. The love that reflected in all his words and all his excitement. We were excited and we were deeply in love. When we married (again Darren 7th day of the 2nd month) I was certain that my heart had found the deepest happiness that could exist. It was the peak of what could be. I was content with that knowledge. However, I was wrong as well.
Darren has, again, shown me the error of my thoughts when it came to my heart. We have welcomed four beautiful children into the world. We have grown a strong ward of people that could not be greater. While I have never doubted my strength, he has shown me a depth of love in myself that I cannot and will not deny. He is my heart.
I am not the type of woman to wax on about adoring thoughts. I appreciate that he respects that and that he knows how I feel. I am blown away by our private moments of conversation and our soft words of devotion. I find myself in awe every moment of every day that this man loves me. That I love him. That I was wrong on our wedding because that love pales in consideration of the love I now feel for him and continue to feel for him.
Darren is a man of great character. He is a strength that others may not be aware of. He loves deeply for his people. He is the epitome of a High Lord. He strikes me speechless time and time again. I have thank the Gods (and the Spirits) that they allowed me the honor of this man. My happiness. My laughter. My tears. My doubts. They all rest on his shoulders and he takes them willingly. He has shown me, as his wife, nothing but respect and honor. His love has increased with each moment. A sacred space for just us, no matter where we are.
So with all my heart, all my future, and without an ounce of reservation I give my thanks Darren Redrain for loving me for as long as you have.
