Working with a partner is a pretty new thing for me, really. I've hired people on before, and been hired on before, but those were all specific term relationships where the responsibilities and the division of the profits were explicitly spelled out at the start, and once the task was concluded, we all went on our way. Traveling as much as I did, there wasn't much opportunity to form lasting relationships, even if I'd wanted to.
But working with Mayir is actually quite fun. We don't necessarily see eye-to-eye on everything, but then, if we did that would be boring. And I suspect that I am the junior partner in this arrangement, just for reasons of still being the newcomer to the city and its markets, not to mention that I am on my own, and Mayir has a larger support network. But even so, he's always courteous and friendly and true. I'd say he reminds me of an Oathlander in that, but he'd probably be offended. For no reason! We are good people, and not nearly as stodgy as most people think us!
It is a good partnership, and a good friendship, too. I like having friends!

Last Night
Last night was fun! I went to the Golden Hart! With Nova! They do not preform heart surgery there! Who knew! They drink instead! Four people tried a contest! Those drinks looked bad! One had a scorpion in it! If anyone is still suffering from those drinks, come see me! I'll help! I like helping! I have anti-venoms! Anti-poisons too!

After some time over a whole year of working hard for the best boss (who ever bossed people around), it is yet another fun day when he says he will pay you even more IF you can beat him up! I came close (but not quite)! One day!

The bravery and determination of the women with whom I met last night, their wisdom and they way they work to fit the different personalities and abilities together is inspiring.

I could outflank the best, but I dislike the minute bits of war. Now I'm just glad that I'm in a position to kill monsters in a way that will matter. As it happens, if you want to kill monsters and make a difference, do let me know. You'lll probably die, but if you don't, I'll make you exceedingly rich. Monster hunters wanted, equipment provided, training not necessary. All I need is a spine and a thrill, and I'll make you rich and famous.

Scorpion venom, liquid dragon fire and cherry bourbon taken together will banish Archlectors, fell Eurusi, stumble Northmen and leave Oathland ladies with headaches, and vague recollections of eloquently spoken dogs, whirling rainbows, and spinning rooms and perhaps some regret for having proposed a drinking contest at the Hart.
For the record.

I am reminded of the importance of upholding ones vows - and the disaster that can result from not keeping them.

Dragonweep is always an interesting thing to work with. It comes no need to be cut, which Demetria likes. Because while I am very good at cutting stones, the vast bulk of pieces that are cut are done so by her. But dragonweep. Oh dragonweep. The expense alone means that I never often come across it but I do, now and then. When my patron came to me with his hopes and desires for the raffle in support of the lodge, I knew then what that piece of dragonweep that I had gotten for as song - and it has a lovely song - would finally be getting out of that tray and get to harmonize with the others. Unlike the other gems where I can turn their song, take their displeasure and turn it to happiness just by setting it with that which it wants, the dragonweep never changes. It's song remains sorrowful. So I have to pick pieces that blend with it. I think I have done that. The piece for auction inspired by this silly little story that Master Derovai showed me. A dragon's hand clutching at it as if declaring it is his. Those amethysts that surround it have nothing in comparison to the beauty of that dragonweep. But it sings so lovely. So very very lovely and as I sent it away, I know that whomever gets it will have a symphony or choir upon their hand, it was so loud.

Guildmaster Joscelin's work is breathtaking and she is exceptionally accommodating. I once saw a brooch in her shop, though they had been advertised as more affordable pieces for those who might not often buy such luxuries. When I inquired if she might make a similar piece in silver, she seemed quite happy to do so and I have worn it every day since.

Preparations are going well, thanks to the experts that have come forth to help. The upcoming weeks will be hectic as we go from a lot of paperwork to actually doing what is on paper.

Dearest Adoptive Grandparents,
You will be happy to know that I have added another person to the small list that I feel comfortable with. She is quite nice and gentle. I enjoy her company.
Also, Princess Coraline is doing some fighty things so I decided to follow her to where she is going to be. I am not skilled at fighting but she insists I have armor and I am confident she will not let me die.
I just wanted to check in.
With love,
Sheena

Dearest Scholars,
I've decided to try out making ciders. My Adoptive Grandparents sent me the recipes they used as well as the ciders they had made. They have a lot of recipes and a fair amount of made ciders. I just need to figure out what each type they sent me is.
With regards,
Sheena

Raptures? Goodness. What a delightful compliment.
If you ever admire something that is no longer in stock, or would like something made to match it, let me know, I keep a lot of my molds and can happily reproduce items in different metals and gems.
Raptures! I love it!

I like paintings a lot, it is a thing that really makes the creativity of people a thing which another can look at!

Okay, enough ups and downs for this week. I'd like a little bit of boring for a bit, I think.

I finally decided to let something go. My heart feels lighter and I feel that is good, going into the days ahead my mind won't be distracted by the ill I was feeling. It's better this way as I need to be focused for my fellows. For now I'm preparing and training. Giving small lessons in sailing when I can as well.

An addendum to my previous white journal. I still have no intention to become entirely domesticated. But as it happens, being a field commander and committed to leading from the front ensures this isn't a risk. Food will always taste better cooked over an open fire and the smell of woodsmoke in one's hair is the finest perfume the world can offer.
