Relationship Note on Ann
A thing I learned this week was you can, in fact, oversaturate your tea with Limerance's Libertia. While his gift is a wonderful, wonderful thing, it is not so much when the powder forms into a sludge at the bottom of your cup.
The wonderful solution to this is that it blends well into soups, and I am looking into recipes which incorporate the flowers into salads and the like. I am willing to make this sacrifice, go through the meals with the failed taste tests, for the good of Arvum.
And for myself. These stories are terrifying and I want no part of them.
As for the matter of spitting versus swallowing-

I will have to time my next pregnancy a little better.
All the complaints in the whites about the cold remind me I am heavily pregnant and making the trek up to Stormwall soon to birth them, as Crovane custom dictates they will be born on their lands.
Its twins I am sure.
Bliss, for fear you might make your tea too strong I might suggest using it the way I have seen the older Crovane men use wet tobacco products. Just lightly dampen it and put it in your cheek. They spit thought. Dont spit. Always swallow.
Then again you may not want to take advice from a heavily pregnant woman on spitting vs. swallowing. I mean- [Scholars Note: Rest moved to blacks as service to the Compact. You Are All Welcome]

Where I grew up, winter was a an enemy you couldn't defeat, only outlast. It was a constant shadow in other seasons, always looming either in front or behind you. You were always either recovering from winter, or preparing for it, and often enough your preparations, no matter how careful, would still fall short. And the worst decision the elders had to make was always winter camp. A northern camp meant winter was harsher, food scarcer, predators more desperate. A southern camp might make for an easier season, but it brought you into possible competition with other wintering tribes, and very possibly Redrain scouts or soldiers. At best you might have to move camp mid-winter if their patrols threatened to stumble onto you. That's how we ended up having to eat most of our horses one year.
I'll say this about winter though, it actually makes Fen de Lire bearable.

I see not a lot of you are a fan of the winter as I am. That's fine.
But if any of you see me trudging ass naked through the shore at moonlight, don't be blaming anybody but your fucking selves. You made me prove this point.

Perhaps it's because I'm a plush-figured woman, wealthy in hips and padded in fat, but I find myself quite enjoying the cold. It also gets me lots of long-lasting hugs that follow me indoors, sometimes even in public, past the boundaries of what is considered 'appropriate' or 'necessary'. Especially when it's cold? I don't mind this, just don't do it to me in the middle of meetings.

Every day for a long time now, a little more of me has been chipped and chiseled away. I don't have any fucking words for how to say what I'm feeling. Moira was a big piece of my childhood and who I was. She was like a sister.
I hate sad, mopey, white journals about mourning but right now I don't care how much of a hypocrite I am. You can all suffer with me and that's just damned fine. I don't give two steamy fresh shits about it.
When I find out who was behind this -- and I fully intend to find out -- it's going to be far messier to clean up. I have a very creative imagination when I apply it to something I'm passionate about, and right now I'm extremely passionate about making them suffer.

How good it is to welcome my brother, no longer Brother, but Blessed, Etienne to the Capital as he assumes his duties as the archlector of Gild.
All three of Lucas Telmar's boys, Corban, Tovell, and Etienne, now serve the Crown directly in our own way.
I hope he would be proud of us.

I attended the Whitehawk BBQ today, and got to meet up with many family members that I hadn't seen in years, along with some fresh faces. Silas is going on an expedition; Tabitha was excited to meet me, but the emotional tension between Silas' departure and my arrival almost overwhelmed her; Kenna is taking over for Silas during his absence and was extremely happy to see me. Kenna also told me to write to Prince Aiden and ask for membership to the Society of Explorers, making sure to mention that I'm Silas' cousin. I think it would be a wonderful opportunity!

Relationship Note on Archeron
Since leaving my father's house I've made it my struggle to be more sociable, to not provoke others so often (sorry Veronica), to be less capricious and not spend so much time immersed in my own thoughts. I can't say I've been entirely successful, but I think it's been worth the effort. For good or bad, it's our relationships with other people that determine much of our lot in life. I feel blessed by the ties I have now with family and friends, and am constantly amazed by all the fascinating people I've met in Arx.
So, I think it is worth a try, Lord Archeron. You may find people do and say the most unexpected things which can lift you up when you most need it or inspire you to do what you wouldn't have even imagined otherwise. Though they are often unreliable, full of secrets that imperil themselves and others, and do have a terrible habit of dying at inopportune times, people have many positive qualities that you'll miss if you never take the opportunity to open yourself to their discovery.
Oh, and I didn't find you scary. I'll also maintain that my small goat is preferable to a badger. You should see her run, it's majestic.

I am convinced that my husband desires to sleep in our marital chambers with the windows open, no blankets, no fire, alone.
Whereas I desire to sleep in the palace, with a fire, with blankets and warm.
I should send word to his Majesty I'll be taking that room up again.
Or go to Velenosa.
I think I'l go sleep at Velenosa till he gets this nonsense out of his head that cold air is good for a baby.
