Legate of the Lost. I feel like such a person might appeal to many of us in the Compact, a shepherd for us all. Don't we all feel lost, sometimes?
It was a pleasure to meet him and an honor. I will carry the slight debt that I owe him with pride.

You have become a wonderful healer, my friend, but remember Lady Eirene and her advice, herbal teas for pain and hefty shots of whiskey to help it along and stop the patients whining. It would help them sleep through the worst of it. She did that because often she could not give one on one attention and wanted them to rest between times she checked on them. That is what observed when she was treating my late husband's wounds. Only I ..er… softened the wording up substantially. She did tend to say things in her own unique way. I miss Auntie Eirene.

Being taken with a cold is truly miserable. I think I'll stay put for the next day or two. I need no physician to tell me that rest is the best medicine for such weariness.

An old acquaintance. Sharp, a little aloof and mysterious, but very witty. Always great fun to banter with her.

I'm with ya, Jyri. You're not in it alone. You never have been. Reckon that's what friends and family are all about, or so I'm learning.

A Baroness of the Saik. She seems to be quite kind as well as knowledgable about many things. I'm curious though if she might know anything about gardening!

The Gardens which I planted seem to be doing well. I should find a few flowers to put in the pots for decorations. I am not quite sure what to use, but as I am from Tor, the selection of that which I can use is quite nice!

I am thinking about purchasing new attire for different things. Formal wear, things for work as well as home. If anyone has any recommendations then please feel free to share, and also make a recommendation for which people in the city make things!

Thank the Gods, and may you always repeat that phrase well into your old age, cousin.

Last night ... what can I say about last night? I was so impressed by the generosity of those that came.
There will be more children allowed to grow up as children. Learning and educated instead of sneaking around looking for hiding spaces for a moment to read.
I am not one for words - I am more for action.
So instead I will end with a generous thank you for all who donated and all who placed bids and entered the raffle.

I suppose I need to write it down. To acknowledge the truth. Bashira has passed away. I do not know all the details of how she passed, if anyone who was there to witness it could reach out to me, I would be eternally grateful.

Good. You know. Don't let him go. Its not gotten any better. Not at all. Do not let him go. I used to have romantic notions of Eurus. Of the beautiful things that come from there, the goods and materials. The thrill of bartering with foreign people and pitting my skills to theirs. I was wrong. I was so wrong.

On further matters of children.
My brother is, as often, cruel, but accurate, having been privy to all manner of tantrums and squalling desires. Which also answers Niklas: yes, I have been an outer child, I never stopped being one.
Joscelin, I can speak not all to bearing children, but chocolate and fish do not sound entirely unpleasant as a consequence. Lianne, I appreciate your description of the intersection between wonder and wonderful courage and that need for restraint and sense. Do tell me if frolicking ever bubbles up amid the wonder.

To speak or not to speak - it's a conundrum. I lean towards speaking, generally.

Some of what I knew about that didn't make sense, got to make a whole lot more sense lately. These rumors and stories I've been told that didn't fit together, they finally have that link.
Two different people in two different circumstances told me something about the same subject that made things make sense on a personal level too, if that conclusion is right.
I've sent out a feeler on it. It might not be like that. But if it is?
That'd be overwhelmingly fantastic.

Her sister's husband. I'm her sister. I know what happens. In my husband's case, they send them on trips to cities like Pyre on 'diplomatic' missions, all because he did not agree with slavery or the blood sports and said as much. Yet, in spite of this treachery, my husband insists there is still beauty in Eurus and wishes to return for a visit. He longs to look upon the dunes of sand again, and show his children there can be good there. I don't agree, not from everything I've learned about the place. My husband is a good man, with heady ideals and a healthy dose optimism that I do not tend to share. I'm an Explorer. I'm well aware of the horrors the world has to offer; being an Explorer confirms that. It's also how I met my husband, out on such an expedition.

This one was more successful than the last and I do not know how possibly that we could surpass any in the future in one fell sweep. The Duchess Clover gained a Ranseur for a song though. That was the only one I was disappointed in. Over two million when all is said and done and as I sort through this all with others, I make a list of those to sing the praises of. House Champagne of a surety for.. well, From donating prizes to generous bidding what can I say. Short of that I am glad that we have them within the compact and they have such generous hearts. Two thousand children, at the least. Preserved and enjoying a traditional and more normal childhood within the next month. I cannot wait to set sail and pay the bonds in person when the time comes.

Many things are not done simply because they are not attempted.
