A few things I learned the last day:
My dog is a traitor.
Gems bounce even more when they have friends.
[a bunch of crossed out lines]
Drinking fixes nothing. When sobriety kicks in, you still have the same shit to deal with after. If you're still drunk? Harder to handle the mess, it's easy to just fall over and leave it. I don't work that way.
Also never in a million lifetimes did I expect to read words, written by Victus Thrax himself, asking if I needed a hug. Everything is sideways now. What the fuck. But. Thanks, Lord Victus.

Relationship Note on Victus
I think I'm with High Lord Edain on this. The only hugs I expect out of Victus are the sort that involve subsequently throwing someone off of a ship.

*While the penmanship is clearly in Reigna's elegant hand, there is a distinctly languorous scrawl to it, the loops wide and embellished with a tendency to trail off at random.*
Kael makes the most delicious drinks in all of Arx! They are fruity and they taste of the color... mmm... they taste... pink? No. Purple! They taste of purple. It makes me happy. I have not had one in moooonths. Thanks be to the gods for wet nurses, am I not right other women who have recently birthed children? My word! I had two drinks of Kael's magical purple fruit drinks and I am feeling... well I am feeling a lot of things and so things have gotten loud for the first time in quite some time, so that is well and good I suppose, even if it shall make sleeping impossible, but then I closed my eyes and the room was spinning so perhaps sleep is not the best idea quite yet, though is surely sounds nice. In any case, the purple was delicious and I am thinking that Aeryn should get a present to perhaps ease him into brotherhood. He never had issue with Kata, though in truth, she was here before him, my sweet and darling little girl. But he's taken to saying 'NO!' every time I pick up Talis, poor thing. Though amusingly that is not unlike me when I see... you know, I think I need to put the quill down.
Yes.

Babies are weird. Thank the gods for wetnurses and nannies.
I can go back to my previously scheduled life of weirdness, blood, pain, and loss.

To clarify for High Inquisitor Tikva, the court would request an inquisitor fight in a Trial of Combat if and only if the accused requested one after being accused of crimes by the Inquisition. I do not believe it at all unreasonable to request the Inquisition defend its accusations with a blade if necessary. I do not see it as a matter of jurisdiction, but a matter of putting your steel where your mouth is.
If the Inquisition believes that to be an overreach of the Court's power, then they are welcome to express that to His Majesty.

Relationship Note on Edain
High Lord Edain is every inch the righteous and upright man I thought he would be. His offer to assist in the rebuilding of House RedTyde was enough, more than enough, and humbled me in many ways. But his offer of patronage? Of being his protege, as a gesture of the bond between his blood and mine? That touched me to my core, and I cannot repay him for that, even though I will certainly try.
Great-Uncle Viktor would be so very proud of you, I think, Your Grace. Our blood may be a distant connection, but when I think of how it thrives in the veins of Edain and his relatives? It makes me so very hopeful for the future.

Relationship Note on Tikva
I recently had the fortune to read a prayer written by Princess Tikva Grayson.
Thank you for your words, your highness, they have been most helpful in my time of need.

Today was the day we said goodbye to someone who had gone on. We drank, we laughed, there were stories told. I may not have known the man, but I got to know him through what his friends and family said of him.
I returned home to find a bouquet of flowers in my room. Exotic and lovely.

Everything is fine.
You turn your back for one moment and your dog, who's supposed to protect you, greets the oncoming hurricane with legs wanders into your shop, lured by sweet smells and treats and then
your life is a wreck. Your shop. Your everything. A mess to fix, to pick up, gems scattered everywhere. I can't find half of my hammers or my broom.
But-
...everything is fine.
