And for once I was right.
Violet and Sorcha are doing well.
Tala's been excited and unable to sleep.
I need coffee.
And the Sandreef family grows.

* Send mother a fruit basket as an apology for the thing I just did involving that flint, those curtains, those mixtures and - well. My eyebrows will grow back. So will hers. I need to start testing out those colors. Requires a little more experimentation.
* Send the Mercies of Lagoma a goodly donation of things that they might need, or silver, because despite my promise to Cousin Cora and Cousin Fairen I am not being a very good patient. I'm too fidgety, too curious, and apparently wanting to help isn't exactly the usual. The good part of this is that I'm learning so much right now that I could probably handle all of this on my own the next time.
* Working on Project A, and Project B. I've wasted too much time on Project OhGodsWhyAreMyFeetSoSwollen.
* Spend more time at the Shrine for the Queen of the Last Laugh, the Mother of Terrible Puns. I miss the spiders an awful lot.

I was just telling Patsy recently that I needed to get around to having another suit forged for the stands.

I sang very little; mostly, I was occupied with my vielle. The other bards with me performed well; I am happy with the College's progress.

I believe I will stick to practicing my sword and patrolling for a bit. All else can be set aside.

I do not know if their aim was to send a message against the Compact about interfering in traditions around Thralls, or if this was some provocative act by those seeking to start some war over Thralls from either direction, and cruel enough to use a man's life for their ends. I am sure we will find out in time, but for now it matters little. We deal with the facts.
You see, we have traditions in the Isles. Yes. One is Thralldom. But there is another. I say if this person is found, we give to them what all enemies of a House of Thrax receive. What tradition demands as punishment for our enemies. We enthrall them for murder, and we bind them to a cross to look out over the sea. Let them die a Thrall, let them die of thirst and exposure, let them die unremembered short of as a lesson. Tradition is important, after all.

You honored him with your favor, and I know he would have been further overjoyed to dress you on the eventual, future day of your nuptials.

Relationship Note on Oliver
The only difference between Master Oliver Arterius and any other citizen that has died in some grime crime is that this man reached out to people. If ever you question whether you will be remembered, look to Lord Valerio Mazetti and Master Oliver Arterius. Both left achievements fondly remembered, may such memories not be lost to sorrow. Seek to emulate their efforts and you will be remembered.

But the point is this: thralldom that does not have a chance of ending is fucking slavery. No semantics. No excuses. Thralls having the ability, at least in theory, to work their way out of thralldom is the entire thin-as-spider-web fig leaf for why thralls aren't slaves. And if you're willing to murder someone over that, you're not only a fucking murderer, you're also a fucking slaver.

Mind you those are bold words when I am behind walls and surrounded by guards who would lay down their life in a heartbeat for mine and those I carry.
And so we move forward. We move forward and will work twice as hard to free more children than our goal was in this round, and in the name of Master Arterius.

Relationship Note on Oliver
My first social event upon my arrival to Arx, indeed my first few hours, was the wedding of Joscelin and Oliver. I had no idea who either of them were, just that I was a guest of another member of my extended family and felt horrid that, unprepared as I was, all I could offer to the couple were my well wishes.
My second true meeting with the man was enlisting him for my outfit for the Gala around the historical figures of the land. The outfit he made for me was incredible, still the best I own, and I had even inquired at the time if he would be interested myself as a patron.
It had fully been my plan to reach out to him, if I could, to dress me when eventually I was wed....
I had very little exposure to the man, and yet he was key in my mind as someone I could rely on and believe in. Think about this with the people you deal with on a daily basis, even those you may only cross paths with once or twice a year. No one is insignificant...
My heart goes out to his wife and those who had deeper ties to him than my own minor ones....
Gods help those responsible if they cross my path, however briefly...
