With the onset of winter comes reasons to stay home, warm and cuddle babies. And then I get all stircrazy and have to go out, to the archives, to the Hall of Heroes, to the Cathedral, to the coffee shop, to whatever party is going on.

I should probably go out more regularly, but I do find myself charmed by every day life.

Relationship Note on Alexio

I managed to stop by Alexio's shop tonight, though I didn't manage it until he was already out. I was lucky enough to get to preview the space before it opened - truly lovely, sure to satisfy anyone who enjoys comfort and a little splendor - likelier to truly please those of the Lyceum, which only makes it well-placed. I very much look forward to seeing what all he manages to stock, and - selfishly - I hope having a proper place to ply his trade means he'll be about the city more.

His staff are perfectly lovely, but I still regret missing him.

My training in small weapons has begun and I am so overwhelmed by the response I have received seeking instructors. I've started with one and will speak with another soon. I am far too excited to hear what the other instructors offer. It reminds me of my training in Setarco; Every teacher had their own spin. I found it most riveting. I am as giddy as a school girl!

I am pleased with the results!

Our 'DIE Red Wine' was the star of the show!
Mind you, our exquisite vintage, has been given free of cost - a memento for the Grand Opening if you will.

There are some bottles still in stock, and shall remain free of cost for a few weeks, before returning to its originally expensive price. So go grab yours while they last or DIE trying!

If you knew the Tenny Twins and know of any family or other survivors that need help, or have any word about who's done them in, and you happen to come across this journal in your readings, then by all means feel free to share.

I would like to give a most heartfelt note of appreciation to all that attended the dinner at the Fidante Villa.

You know, it's just my luck that as my love and I start to consider moving out of the Lowers, that some parts of the Uppers would suddenly become unlucky.

If you relive in luck that is.

I am pleased to announce that Donatti's Import & Exports Grand Opening was a success!

With many people of Arx, from all parts, coming over to peruse and take home our signature 'DIE Red Wine' samples (courtesy of Inverno) along with their favorite wares.

My most sincere and heartfelt gratitude goes to the lovely Countess Tyche Inverno for helping me host and serve as support during this most exciting and successful day. Your sponsorship is genuinely appreciated. Similarly, I extend my thanks to the wonderful people of Arx that took time to come have a look. Your praises are held in very high esteem.

I just spilled ink all over my last entry. Now the world shall never know of that particular piece of wisdom.

Just kidding, it was only about spring coming and how it has brought me so many wonderful things in life, wondering what it might bring me this year.

I'm too tired for wisdom today.

So many birds falling from the sky lately. Sad and odd and concerning. I'll be keeping my crow indoors for a while. I'm no expert on avian diseases, but I can't disregard the possibility that she might catch something deadly outside if she's allowed to fly free.

A successful Grand Opening for Donatti's Imports & Exports! The Inverno Minister of Coin certainly has an eye for business, and a flare for the exotic.

Plans put to paper.

Now to forward them to a higher authority.

(Higher than me, that is. Not the highest authority.)

Relationship Note on Gabriella

Some moments are meant to be touched by an air of reverence, the bond formed one that will last for years to come. When those moments get ruined by a very heavy sword and a very weak Countess, well... at least we still have the bond?

Perhaps I have not truly given them their due but I truly appreciate the kind words and offers of support that has been made from my friends and allies.

Thank you all. It does not ease the pain but it has made the moving forward knowing I am not alone somewhat less fraught it feels.

There has been enough death in the Compact now at the hands of those who have had yet to truly pay for their actions.
Moores, Steelhearts, Volkov, Caius Valardin, Arn Telmar, Svoli Volkov and her sister and niece Aahana and Palania Malvici.
This cannot continue or there will be no Compact left. I beseech all who has the will and the power to oppose this enemy to do so rather that let them continue as they do.

I find myself once again happily indebted to a cousin, with Valentina having been kind enough to assist the furtherance of my education. Though I have spent most of my life in close company of assorted books and scrolls, there are still a great many areas about which I know all too little - especially fields of a more practical kind. Valentina has been able to set my feet on one path to remedying that failing, and I gratefully anticipate further opportunities to reap the fruits of her learning... though I still need to find tutors to help me rectify other areas of ignorance.

I noticed the to-do list that Sombra keeps for me has a definite lack of "drinking whiskey" on it. A problem easily fixed.

We welcomed more brothers and sisters into the Templars here in Arx today. It replenishes our strength, replacing some of those losses suffered at Fournier Pickets, in the campaign into Blackram against the Malardin tribes and The Reaper, in our efforts towards Grayreeve and Beaucage.

So many places our troops have been in the last year or so. But we endure, we grow stronger. And we even have a navy now.

It is sad then to hear as well of two prospective Godsworns who died in the upper boroughs. The Godsworn are inviolate, they must be for the work we must perform. People say what harm is it for the faith to look away, that those who breach our rules, our tenets of faith, do so of ignorance and mean no harm. Their crime is small. That may be true, each small blasphemous utterance. Each small heretical thought. Each profane misuse of the shrines or holy ground. They are each small. But they risk something else. They risk others misunderstanding, thinking that the Faith no longer cares, or worse that the people no longer care about the Faith.

I do not know if that is what happened in this case, but it is something that worries me. The Faith is the light against the dark. It must burn bright, and never so much as flicker. For in that flicker's moment of darkness? Horrors lurk.

It was my esteemed honor. Your work speaks for itself as does your charity and compassion by your devotion towards the healing arts and your people.
