Your painting sounds delightful. I hope that the art brings contentment and satisfaction.

The week began plucking a child from trouble and bringing forth two other prisoners to freedom. A strange thought: the situation may be deteriorating in the Gray Forest for the shav'arvani, and yet we can make a difference, life by life.

I have given you nothing that you have not earned. You are an amazing physician. It is truly an honor to work with you.
And I consider you a genuine friend.

I got steady pay. Fine robes. A title. A house.
A cat!?
Few months ago I was bumming silver off bums for a slice of bread. Now I'm Master Phyisican Meriah. Don't that beat all?
I'm glad I didn't listen to my gut, that I reached out. You welcomed me. And before this gets sappy or anything. I'm just going to write Thanks.
A good Physician really can heal a lot more than cuts and bruises.

A lost and found expedition turned into a rescue mission.
The original child was found, alive, as well as two others - a boy and an old man.
It felt good to find the girl, but even better to stop a cult from sacrificing others in the name of their Gods. Nothing good can come of such activities.

Relationship Note on Domonico
When sparring, can a girl take pride in defeating her opponent when she is in armor and he is not?
The sparring did last quite a-many rounds. Perhaps it is a true testament to Domonico's skills that he was able to withstand my attacks.
And, after all, I came away exhausted, he did not.
Something to strive for.

Relationship Note on Oliver
My husband is a sculptor, at the heart of him. He wouldn't believe me if I told him that, but it's true. When he courted me, he gave me these little figurines, uncanny replicas of myself in the beginning, doing this or that thing that he found infuriating or intriguing, and eventually they included himself as well. Now and then, he makes another and he puts it somewhere I'll find it, or adds it to the collection I have on the birchwood shelf in our home.
This last one is especially adorable, and incredibly accurate. I also love how he makes my hips enormous and carefully curls my hair in the palm-sized creations. I don't think I deserve such a clever partner.

I've been several times to look at Killian's statue in the Hall of Heroes. I wish there were a single word or phrase to capture how I feel, every time I look at it. If I could be just inspired, or feel my love for him, or my admiration and wonder at all he did... or even if I could just be sad looking at him. But every time, I'm all of those things, and many, many more that I don't have the words to express. It's a beautiful statue. He was a good brother. In centuries he'll be the perfect monument and ideal for those who come after. I wish it showed his smile, or that a monument could capture someone's voice because I miss hearing that. I was gone for so long, away from him and Arx, that I've started to forget the sound of him, and the little details were already beginning to fade due to inattention... how he carried himself, the faces he'd make when he tasted something he disliked, the exact thing he said when he hoisted me up onto his shoulders when I was so small so that I could see what it was like to be as tall as one of our trees.
When we walk away from someone we're always so confident that they'll be there when we return, so we can be reminded all over again of the details that make up everything we love about them. That's part of the joy of reuniting. But I walked away and when I came back, he wasn't there to remind me.
It is a good monument. But I fear that one day, looking at it, I'll know the man it represents as shallowly and inaccurately as future generations will, looking at it for the first time.
I really need to get busy. Nothing cures maudlin as well as having a project.

Recent events have left heavier thoughts than usual in my head. Many men, especially around the docks seem to be reflecting on their lives and the things that have happened to them through the years. I do not fear nor regret the things in my past. Those decisions were at least decisions /I/ made. What bothers me in the wee hours of the morning are the things to come. Things of import. Things of body, mind, and soul. Those things coming down the line that I may not be prepared for. What happens if when I'm needed I cannot step up and answer the call? Since coming to the city I have let myself relax and not pushed my boundaries.
I want to be ready for when I'm needed and I never want to look back and say, I rested on my laurels and it was enough. It is never enough and that is why we must all strive to continually evolve and learn. So tonight with this journal I task myself with doing better. With trying harder so that we might...

I would like to thank all those that came out for the Celebration of High Sun held at the Shrine of Gild recently. A splendid time was had and a great many feasts were prepared throughout the Compact to celebrate the coming of summer, and the changing of the seasons.

Let them know that I accept proof of devotion in the form of gifts, would you? But do point out as well that Dame Talenthia Tael'Nal'Thal has, as far as I know, produced a rather amazing show in my honor, recreating my Folly most entertainingly in the Most Like Bliss contest of 1008 AR, and that is a hard bar to pass.
I'm rather looking forward to the drinks. I will be writing soon.

Relationship Note on Karadoc
Lord Karadoc,
I can personally attest to the efficacy of being put through a harrowing, life-threatening experience when you are in your lowest of lows. As I said when I was telling the story, our lives are meant to be lived, fully and completely.
I do not recommend Follies for everyone. While they are an incredibly fun experience, they are very likely to end up with you rather breathless in the worst sort of way, and we do not have the favor that the Nox do in order to keep our perfect memories after such a thing. There will, of course, be a change - but I don't think this is what most people are going for.
Nonetheless, do something big, dramatic, frightening. Something that you are good at. You will feel the chains you've put on yourself fall away, and even breathing will feel amazing afterward as you realize: this is who you are.

This time of year is not an easy one for me, but I shall have a new painting, painted by King Alaric himself, to cheer me, and the love of good friends to make it warm. I look forward to placing this painting over the mantle at Greenmarch Lodge... though prudently, I had better not. Maybe just for a day, to see my brother's reaction...
