Relationship Note on Armani
Another promising sea captain from the south, we've found some suitable common ground to work from regarding future maritime enterprise. I am hopeful that in supporting her efforts and local ambitions, I might find a long-term ally for the future. And drinking partner, that's never a bad thing either.

Never in my life have I seen wealth on display such as I have seen in Arx. A man came into my shop dripping with jewels. Dawnstone and epiphanite, star iron and duskstones. And these were the *commoners*. I feel as though the world has turned somewhat upside down, but that could be the exhaustion talking. Never have I been so busy. It has been a long time since I have had to dictate my journals, thank you scholar, by the way, but I do not think I could hold the quill in my fingers so sore they are right now.
I have had no less than thirteen pieces commissioned this week and I have filled almost all of them. I have ensured I have some basic stock available as well, though that seems to sell nearly as fast as it can be made.
I think I shall like it here. Or I will once I get my own jewelry.

The hunt is coming, a long standing tradition for Harthall from a time before we were islanders. It is only in our history books now that we have such stories, but even still, we brought elk to the island and they have thrived, perhaps not as well as they did upon the mainland, but even now they are prolific enough that the meaning behind the hunt has not failed to be upheld.
I look forward to the return to my home as well as to the new family and friends that will be joining us this year.

I was sitting in the tea shop and someone came in and THREW a teacup at the person I was sitting with. He threw multiple teacups at her HEAD without any sort of warning. I am not sure how I would explain to Edain that I was enjoying tea when my guards stabbed someone in his ward because a teacup cracked my skull open and I died to head trauma.

Relationship Note on Sparte
While it is always good to know some of the Guard, especially in the line of work that is the forging of weapons, Master Sparte has provided ample opportunity for sharing of information and a steady hand in all the time that I've known him. It's been years, but I'm always glad to see him continuing to do well.

Relationship Note on Rinel
You know, there are often times that I second guess myself. She makes me do that - but she's been a good friend, for all the trouble that she causes. With luck, the Guard will have some mercy on her for that. Good luck - and stop offending people.

Perhaps a touch routinely did my last week or so go. As usual, spent in prayer, the company of Princess Macda and my brother, making a few social outings and mingling. I did also get to have a nice talk with Grandmaster Preston.

Relationship Note on Margret
It seems that two of the finest people in the Compact have made what is surely going to be a third.
Congratulations to my Gloria-recognized dear friend.
Let me know when he's old enough to teach how to hold a sword. Three or four should be about right?

We recently had a goat die in childbirth leaving her kid behind, Reigna let me take the kid to care for it. I had told Adalbern all about it, and apparently he thought I actually meant a baby, as in a human baby. That was a bit funny when he came over to might Rime. And found it he was not a baby, but a kid, as in a baby goat. Vigga was excited though, and I let her help me feed Rime.

I was asked recently about foolish things I have done for love - whether there were so many that I might have difficulty remembering them all. The answer is of course there are - but love was only ever a small factor.
Let me clarify.
Love is something I do not shy away from, nor do AI think I need to or see why many do. Painful as it is, it is one of Limerance's great gifts to us, and there are few things that can stand up to the rush which it provides. I find myself loving easily, often, deeply and fully - but, and here's the part that is rather forgotten - often not long.
So, given that fact, it's rare that I do things purely out of it. Sometimes it is a part of things, sometimes an excuse, but honestly even fleeting physical desires outstrip it. When I ran away from home with a complete stranger, I didn't love him, handsome and thrilling as he was. I just wanted out. When I ditched him? It was because of a number of things, but love didn't really factor into that, even though by that time I did love him.
The motivations for the things I do are, of course, varied, but it usually can boil down to 'it sounded fun at the time.' The reasons why it sounds fun always depends, but there is fun to be had in spite, in spectacle, in surprise. In shaking things up, and not just going through the same motions we're all expected to just because we are expected to.
But love? Unless I'm trying to get a kiss within the next five minutes, it's very unlikely I'm doing anything with that as the main reason. Please.

I have made it to Arx!
I am delighted at all that I have seen and I cannot wait to explore more of this fine city.
Now, it is my understanding that leaving my journal entry so simple might be considered dull. I suppose that I should make a confession! So here, those that read my journal, is my confession: I am considering hosting a party -- or at least some social gathering -- to introduce myself to those that are interested in doing business with Redreef. Or at least want to enjoy a night of free drink and food!
My second confession? My room is too dull. I must acquire proper furnishings.

Relationship Note on Harper
There are lots of ways to measure family, but I think as good a one as any is, if anyone messes with them, you will go to battle for them and crack the skulls of the offenders soundly. Know you shall always be able to count on me for this, Harper. Whatever requires bashing.

Finally, after days of not seeing him, I managed to have some nice quality time with my handsome celebrity cousin Dariel. We had a nice and relaxing time at the Grotto where we shared details about work, life and love.

I met Lord Domonico Malvici once more during this week --this time though he wasn't naked (thank the gods). I was actually searching for his cousin Fiora --to see if she'd help me sharpen my skills in the arts of archery. She wasn't there; still, my journey wasn't in vain. Lord Domonico offered to teach me the basics of sword-fighting (he kindly lent me his sword for practice) and even introduced me to his protege, Neilda. Great people, both of them, they have my respect.

I have so many meetings to catch up on... again. I know. Life has a way of tiring you out. If you have contacted me, wishing to talk, you are still on my list... it's just a matter of setting aside some one on one time amidst all the rest.
Never enough hours in the day, are there? Or days in the week or wee... If only I could make time stand still, just until I caught up... wouldn't that be lovely? Although, I am not sure I ever truly feel caught up. New things are always added to my list. It keeps me busy, which is a good thing.... I really wouldn't have it any other way.

Come soon there'll be a vote on who should represent the common folk. Don't know if I've got the time for such a thing, but hopefully someone of a comparable temperament will if I don't.
