I am grateful for many things.

Truly for the warmth of spirit and kindness displayed by some cherished friends in this city. They are the lights of my day, the dawn breaking over the horizon on my thoughts.

Relationship Note on Jael

Now to devour our enemies like you devour cookies.
I worry for my reputation.

I owe the greatest debt of gratitude to both Lord Commander Eleanor, my patron, and Dame Ida. My unique connection to either is convoluted, to say the least, but combined they've provided me with the grandest weapon I think I will ever call my own. While Earthstriker, the warpick of Aviaron's Peak, is an honor to wield in service of my house.. Avalanche, the indomitable warpick, will be mine and mine alone. To think, after Eleanor gifted me the necessary ingots of alaricite, Ida shied away from the commission for lack of being considered 'a legend.' Well, she's a legend to me! Now more than ever!

I don't know that I've felt this alight over a blade since I first donned Sunny -- the Nightgold-inspired shortsword gifted to me when I was elevated from squire to knight, and one of the precious personal objects Kenna and I sacrificed at Stone Grove when we were wed.

We have gone baking with the Laurents. I ate a delicious chocolate chip cookie, then I made some cookie dough - which wasn't half bad, but I didn't take mine home. There was an eating competition that I was sure I could win, but as soon as I smelled the peanut butter and made it past the second cookie, I had to puke. This whole pregnancy thing is a bit of a bust at times, but the end result will surely be worth it. I do hope that I didn't offend Lady Mabelle further by throwing up in her yard.

After I got my bearings, I went to the Murder to see if I could still enjoy pies. Guess what? That hasn't been ruined yet for me. Miss Tanith gave me delightful little apple handpies! And I got to meet several new people, and see Lord Drake again, which was nice.

I've never been much on eating 'full meals' or much at all through the day, but right now my body is playing a cruel joke on me. One minute it says 'eat' and the next minute it says 'just kidding' in the worst of ways.

I've never really been much of a thinker or an intellectual or whatever. But I've been trying to look into something a little bit more deeply later. I don't know how much headway I'm making. I do know that I'm getting a nasty headache from reading, damn.

I am going to be hosting my first event before the winter is over with. Who knew that such things had so many moving parts to them. It might be easier leading an army up the mountain than organizing a social event for people. Lucky for me, I have my secret beautiful weapon to help me.

I tried to hold my own against Wash. The challenge was whiskey and dancing.

I lost spectacularly.

I also learnt hangovers in your thirties is much worse than in your twenties.

Relationship Note on Philippe

I hope with all my heart that the ring stays close to your heart, and reminds you by its weight that good things do happen through diligence, and not just for yourself, but for those you love and those around you.

They happened to me, and I am blessed to have been born a daughter of Chevalle.

Relationship Note on Drake

Lord Drake has a gift for male fashion, and his bold advice of patterns and colors have done me well! If only there was some way to recognize his skill more...

It's funny how beautiful these nails are. I don't even feel the glue I had to use to put them on. They're ever so much nicer than those little lye-burnt nubbins I had had thanks to all that ash hauling I had to do. I wish they could be forever, but I suppose I have the advantage of flexibility, now.

Relationship Note on Shard

My first impression of this woman, who I have come to learn is 'Prima' Shard, was that of a brutal warrior. She spoke of gruesome implements of war and hunting as if they were common day things. However, as we have continued to encounter each other she has oddly been kinder to me than people of Arx, I have encountered. Meaning no insult to the Prima, but I have glanced at her journals and have caught wind of people speak of her...

I must wonder if I am so annoying to my own people that a Prodigal that many would consider a rabble-rouser has been kinder to me in her unadulterated indifference than born citizens of the Compact?

I cannot come up with the words I want to put in the journal today. I know I'm supposed to, but I'm just lost on it. My mind today is a whirl of thoughts and feelings. I have lost a friend. I have made a potential new one. I have been a subject of fiction. My truth has been accused of lies.

I suppose it is the times we live in.

Love each other. That is all we have.

Relationship Note on Sophie

There is no more true or steadfast companion than my dear Sophie. Though she may be younger than me, she is wiser by far. She is truly blessed by the gods and I am truly blessed to call her my sister.

You'd think the nobility had never read a dirty book before.

I know some of you have. I know for a fact. Don't think I don't notice what's on your shelves when I'm waiting around for you to deign to turn up for contract negotiations.

This book of the Baron and the Rose has turned out to be a delightfully fun read indeed.
It reminds me a bit of a Baron I knew over forty years ago.

I apologize to any who may have been looking for me in recent times. After the expedition to High Hill, I chose to remain for an extended time, seeing to the health of the people there after their deeply traumatic experience. While I expect to be quite busy with matterns concerning High Hill in the future, I am reasonably certain I can attend to my other duties in Arx as well.

I missed Marquessa Cady's memorial last night! I missed a drinking contest! I would have won! And the place is covered in glitter?! What! I was off in the trees though, so I think that Marquessa would have understood and stuff! I'll drink for her tonight!

I should... consider a new dress! Though I might want to find a new regular customer for that.
