Are you suggesting I got his goat, my dearest Prince Jasher? Or are you trying to pull the fleece over my eyes and spin this into an effort to shepherd yet more goat and sheep puns from my lips? I adore you, but if this is so, what a card, you are.
Though to be true, I apologize if ewe think I was milking this. It's just that sometimes I find I have an acc-ewe-mulation of puns that cannot be denied.
However, I do not want to have anyone bent out of sheep or to cause a ca-lamb-ity.
And so baa-latedly, my apologies.

Your Grace, if you would like a better understanding on the differences between goats and sheep, I would be more than happy to speak with you on the subject as would any from the Cloudspine. I daresay we are experts.

Sistermine,
It is well known and documented that my wife is many many times smarter than I...as well as prettier and nicer. What can I say...I married way up.

Today I found myself in a staring match with a bunny.
I lost.
This is not what I expected to be doing with my life at this point.

I can get you a great deal on some cut-crystal jars if you want souvenirs from those talks.

It's strange how a conversation can turn your life upside-down.
One minute I'm just another bastard, one who dragged himself up to success on the streets of the Lowers.
Now, though, /now/ I'm... just another bastard, one who dragged himself up to success on the streets of the Lowers, but I got half a clue about where to start looking for my father - and it sounds like the hunt might turn interesting.
May the Queen of Endings cradle your soul, Auntie Tota. You weren't blood-kin, but you were kin anyways.

No one lives a morally blameless life. There is no one whose private conduct could not cast him or her in a bad light if exposed by the right (or wrong) person to the right (or wrong) people. It is to our benefit for friends and family to reproach us for moral failings, but people in general should mind their own business.

Ysbail
I am glad to have gotten the chance to spend a lot of time with Ysbail since moving here. She is probably the best girlfriend I have outside the Northlands here. I mean, we still don't know each other overly well, but she is the one I am most likely to be whispering and cutting up with, it feels like.

It has been a while since I have had a chance to talk to Brady. I should messenger him about more haze and to see if he's learned or read anything interesting of late. We had the most interesting conversation about different things we have read at the library.

I worry that I got too swept up in a night meeting the Rose of Tor. This is why I try to take things slowly. Having time to cool my feet, I am rarely swept off them the next time I meet the person. This is probably why I have only ever had two lovers. How. He is very handsome and very charming but, I don't know that his self grandiose manner is very compatible with my temprament. Too much and too little time are both my enemies when that time is to think. Sometimes my self doubt is crippling.

I had always heard tales about how impressive Duke Vercyn was. I didn't know until after thoroughly putting my foot in my mouth that I had shamelessly hit on him. Ysbail says he is eligible and to talk to Khanne but he is so well known and barely knows me. He could probably have his choice of dozens or hundreds of women with that rep, that face, and that rank combined.

If the little ones are making you hungry for lamb, I'd be glad to send Marie over with some garlic, lemons and olive oil. This is the proper season for butchering yearling sheep. Just don't try to share with the goats, we do not want to give them a taste for flesh.

Lamb and Goat are not the same creature or the same meat. A lamb is a sheep, specifically a baby sheep. Sheep meat is called mutton. And goat meat is just goat meat.

Journals like this are what end up giving disciples of the Thirteenth a bad name. Contrariness to no end. "Yes, but what if not?" with no actual point.
"We don't like slavery, but what if WE are the slavers?!" is certainly an observation! Is there more?
I miss Prince Mydas. I rarely interacted with him in the whites and he did seem to infuriate some people, but he never did so without some meaningful purpose. He challenged and educated, he didn't sanctimoniously scold.
We've lost a tremendous contrarian.

Shard
My second is learning how to rule. It does, abruptly and for no particular reason, seem necessary. But I'll say this: There's no one I'd trust more at my back when I get a dumb idea, either on the battlefield or off. Either she tells me of the danger, or will, as she has a few times, punch me in the base of the neck and take command. Battlefield decisions are never easy, though. To say they aren't is a sign of an armchair general. I've given orders that mean folks that I like and trust will die, to carry the day. As a ruler, I've made mandates that will make some go hungry for a bit in order to make sure no one starves. If someone has a problem with Shard as a ruler, do let me know. We'll talk it out.

*** Written in a neat script not dissimilar to Valencia's own handwriting... ***
I have decided to try dictation as many others do in their writing in the white journals and have asked my lovely lady in waiting, Mistress Lizette, to assist.
With that in mind, I recently herd that his highness, Prince Victus, mentioned that if he saw a goat in his house t he would be having lamb for dinner.
All I can think is that the prince must be kidding. Sheerly, ewe would not do such a thing, your Highness. Not that I wish to ram my opinions down your throat, for that would be rather rude and unnecessary, however it would behoove me to not mention that such a yarn wool be impossible, if I understood the implication of your statement.
Did I say something baaad? What's so funny, Mistress Lizette?

Of course there is! Find the parties responsible, kill them, drag their corpses back to Arx and put their heads on spikes! I'll help.

The King said something nice about me! THE KING! The actual, real, honest King! Probably. I mean, maybe he had a scribe write - he probably did, really, because he's far too busy writing to every Crown functionary (which now includes me!) who happens to manage to fulfill a task for him. But the words "quite impressed" were used, and I am going to CHOOSE to BELIEVE that at some point he dictated those words to someone who then wrote them down and put his seal of approval on them. About me!
Maybe I will frame it! QUITE IMPRESSED.
