We've arrived in Westerville and I'll be sending this journal off with a courier. The place is a touch peculiar.

Never have I been more thankful to be surrounded by such visually stunning members of the Peerage and Lord Mirk. I'm not sure that they'll be enough of a buffer between myself and whomever, though.

They're beginning to look toward that manor again and I think they may want to go visit it. The place looks like it was designed and occupied by that one knight in the Iron Guard. It may just be my imagination but I think they even included the detail that is the scent of pork water wafting down from it. I wonder if this is his uncle's home? Maybe a personal vacation spot?

It may just be my imagination.

I must conclude this and send it off promptly before we take the stroll up to Farewell Ponies Manor.

Relationship Note on Faruq

You are an ocean wave my love
Crashing into the bow.
I am a galley slave, my Love.
If only I could find out the way to sail to you.
Maybe I'll just stow away.

Relationship Note on Faruq

I am hoping you are right. In the mean time I am happy to be having you and the rest of the family to remain familiar with while I go through this transition.

The past couple weeks have brought a new nephew and a new great-niece (yes, a great-niece) into my life.

Life goes on. The Wheel still turns. The Lyceum grows and so does my family.

It is enough.

Relationship Note on Grazia

This woman is the strongest lady that I know. I may not be the best husband in ways that many other men probably are, but I know we make a great team regardless... and now she's brought into this world a daughter for us. For this, for Aileyna, Grazia has my deepest affections.

Relationship Note on Morrighan

You are always welcome here.

But I already have one fussy-pants-mothery-fluff here, I'm drawing the line at more than that. So sit and let me watch you drink whisky or something. We can share scones.

Relationship Note on Joscelin

Now I'm wondering if I need to stop by to visit...and ensure all corners and semi-sharp edges are heavily covered over with cotton stuffing and leather.





Also, to see you, because I haven't for a while.

Relationship Note on Estaban

Your children are ten months old now. Kyllan is already starting to take some steps on his own. Estie crawls faster than he can wobble and does not seem to be in a hurry to walk yet. They both babble and occasionally form a word one can understand. I tell them about you every day, How proud you would be of them.

I got to play with one of the kitchen-maid's babies today. Her first, about ten months old, she says. It's a muffin in a dress and it coos and giggles and smiles no matter what I do. It all started with pretending to be a dog and snuggling at her neck and her hair (it seemed to be a good place to start). I paused on her eyeball, snuffling at it with my nose and that brought out the most of the laughter. Lots of pulling at my hair too, I should have expected that but puppies don't have hands.

Still. I liked her. I look forward to a dozen such siblings, Papa-Norwood and Mother. Get on it.

Relationship Note on Ouida

My sister has returned and with that return she has already seen about trying to run my life. Of course I say this is the adoration that siblings share and while I admit it has been bumpy, there are many resources that I hand over to her willingly so as to have another set of eyes on the current endeavors that Harthall is expanding into.

I trust her and I am looking forward to the skills and results that she brings to the table.

An addendum to my last: Human puppies that -aren't mine-.

Would a longer honeymoon help, mother?

Relationship Note on Violet

Hiring the Crimson Blades to perform a substantial expedition has been one of my more positive endeavors. I have been pleasantly surprised with their professionalism and their conduct during their work and the tact that had been applied during the course of the adventure per se. I shall look forward to hiring them again soon.

It's been a fortnight and still no word.

I need human puppies to play with, dammit.

We have puppies in two stages: the cute adorable still-mostly-stuck-in-a-pen kind, and the chew-through-everything-cute-bark-impersonating-dumplings-on-legs kind. They are sweet and fun at these stages, but I rather like them as more sedate grown-ups. I can trust Daegmund to curl up with me and nap and not worry about him getting stuck in my boot while I'm trying to sleep.

It's really not that big, why do I keep bumping into things? Hips too, it's like there's suddenly no balance. I had -grace-, gods dammit, where did it go?

Relationship Note on Arik

We do. I would rather not explain the full details here, for obvious reasons, but mine involved a number of foods and drinks that easily stain, white cotton, reciting a list of rules, all while listening to a conversation and being grilled on both knowledge of what was discussed and what might happen if it gets out after.

For extra challenge, may I suggest she try doing it one-handed? Extra points for singing and dancing.

Week two of Whisper training is undoubtedly a difficult one.

Now one thing I will give all those silks some proper praises for - they do have all the best trainers and training. If you want to learn something, even if it's down and dirty, a silk probably knows all about it. Probably just for the sake of knowing about it...

Relationship Note on Rowenova

She is the kind of servant which makes me want to develop some sort of servant gauntlet course just so I can wager and brag when she wins. Mayhap House Whisper has something like that.

I'll need to ask.
