I'm so glad to hear that my patroness is returned alive. Her gift would have been bittersweet otherwise, and I'm a little tired of bittersweet these days.

I find myself wondering if I'm about to get very, very busy.
Bring it.

My oldest twins are 10, my youngest twins are almost 3. The years fly by so fast.

I hate being the bearer of bad news.

I am feeling tired today. I think I stayed up far too late again. It is easy to do so when you are enjoying the conversation.

Haven't we had this conversation about not getting cut in half before?

Always prepared. That's how I've always been. Lately? Even more so. Ten times more than I ever was. Which I assure, it's a terrifying thing.

I took all my nieces and nephews today, scholar. ALL OF THEM. Ok. Not the babies. They're still babies. But I DID spend time with them when I got home. So that counts for something. I showed them all the plants they should and shouldn't eat. The berries. I even drew them pictures. I just hope they remember them. And I drew them well enough.

I've been laying low lately. Mostly you know, at least. But I find myself returning from the deep edges of where I've been to all the sadness. And every time I wonder...Could things have gone any differently for them? Not that I'm a very good diplomat or anything...

It's always one thing after another these days. One place, one..something. I feel for everyone. And I'll be around the best I can.

You might think that a weaponsmith would carry the best of blades. Creative, personal, and of a fine quality considering they have all the skills to refine and rework the piece. I've never learned how to use any sort of hand-held weapon, and at my age it's unlikely that I ever will. Some might think it ironic that I forge things I have no real idea how to use. I certainly think it's ironic, and maybe even a bit amusing. More seriously, though, I've always been a fist-fighter and just wondered if learning a particular discipline would make me biased somehow in my crafting.
All that said, I did forge myself an alaricite hammer that I am exceptionally proud of. Since I can't use it, it might seem a silly and maybe even wasteful thing to have done. I still did it, though, and I will look upon it fondly where it hangs in the back room of the shop. I've spent most of my life using hammers, and humbly carry the title of Hammer of the West, so it seemed a fitting project. I hope Jayus might look fondly upon it - the story of it is one I am proud of.
It's a huge piece. I apologize to anyone that might have been in the front room of the shop and heard me being less than kind with my words. It wasn't easy to get up on the wall.

There is something to be said about spending a couple weeks on a tropical beach. To leave the hustle and bustle of regular life and just be. It's hard re-adjusting, coming back to a normal life. It feels different. It's hard to explain. Surreal, perhaps? Unnecessarily complex??

The stench of gore churning in the water still clouds my senses.
I do not prefer it to the stench of leather, sweat, and blood on battles fought on land.
... Both are quite terrible. At least Arx smells of flowers in summer.

Sometimes it is best to listen to the advice of the healers but I truly do hate it when the fleets sail without me.

you are always diplomatic and willing to share information and advice

It is the mindset of a petulant child that believes, at the first sign of ‘rules’ and authority, that their entire world has been shattered. They have been lied to, and bemoan their circumstances.
Are guardsmen showing up at your doors? Accosting your steps, routes, and carriages? Are you being sent missives to appear before the Iron Square for questioning?
Those that shout the loudest, assuredly have something to hide.

I don't make promises often. Mainly, as I rarely intend to keep them. It's a break of duty and such to do that, so I just don't make them.
I kept the one I made to you, Dollface.
