Relationship Note on Iseulet
Kenna brought me a set of books to read upon the customs of marriage and courtship. Now be it said I have no intentions to make a match of any sort yet. Nonetheless, a book is a book, worthy in its own right of appreciation for what information it harbours.
No sooner did I open the covers than vanish away into a personal conversation with a lady I have never met, and she escorted me through the finer points of a matter with sensible eloquence and gracious wit I wish somehow could be purchased in the marketplace. That is to say, not nearly enough people demonstrate the rare conviction of explaining things clearly and engagingly. Evidently I need more extensive connections with her, something to put on the to do list.
If she speaks anywhere near as well as she writes out her thoughts, it should be a conversation to remember.

Relationship Note on Aureth
I am really excited to report that I've taken on Blessed Aureth Grayhope, the archlector of death, as my sponsor! Between the two of us, we are going to be a marketing-and-image-consulting powerhouse!
And, of course, I'll grow deeper in the Faith and so on and so forth.
But hurrah for Cousin Aureth, the best patron a Grayhope could ask for at this time!

Relationship Note on Margret
Statistically speaking, I am only lucky about half of the time, my lady. However. I am looking to improve my personal odds. Also, probably, my medical skills. I sliced my thumb pretty good on some glass I was cutting for my optical observation instrument, and I realized that my stitches are pretty uneven. Shame on me.

The trick to surviving being ran through by a sword is /not/ pulling it out until you get to the healer.
Oh, and being incredibly lucky. That helps much more.

Arx has been welcoming and, on occasion, extremely generous. I am waiting to hear back from the Whisper House about joining them; for today, I'll be in Judgment Park with a purse open for people to put coin into if they like my music.
I might see if the Sailor's Ball taking place at the Hart would like some sea shanties as background music.

My first wedding was so grand that I am still flustered by it six years later. Everything was prepared for me, ever detail figured out with little input, and it was beautifully done. The people of the Lyceum never do anything half ways, after all, and it showed in those little details. I will never forget that day, or how drastically it changed my life completely afterwards.
I did not think I was going to marry again, there was truly no reason to do so. I had fulfilled my duties in creating a stronger alliance between House Thrax and House Velenosa. With the death of my husband, no heirs were created, so that was another duty that had ended before it began and I was content in being an aunt to my sibling's children as much as his sibling's, being an assistance in creating a new generation of noble, honorable, people. I still hold this in my heart and can not wait to see each of them grow.
Now I am getting married again. There is certainly duty, one to the Velenosa House, though it is different this time. I am now handling those small details and like the last, in true Lyceum fashion. I can no longer wrap myself in being content that my duty is done and I need not do anything else, and any who know me know I have a horrible sense of responsibility and would never allow myself to do that.
Will my life change as drastically as it did before? Only time will tell. But I have a list of details that need to be seen to, and will meet any challenges ahead with poise and grace and the strength of the unwavering support of those I love.

So my next duel for the tournament will be me against Bliss Whisper... Having watched her fight a few times now I can't say that it'll be such a terrible way to get knocked out of the tournament. I look forward to seeing who the champion of the Champions will be.

The idea of an enemy of Solace in the Lowers is terrifying. That all those knights and a well trained knight with a diamondplate sword was killed so easily... Care must be taken before the order has taken too many losses. But it's still our duty to guide, protect and help the people of the Compact.

The Empyrean nears completion!
While our doors are open a bit to let people have a sneak peek, it's not entirely complete. It is happening though!
We are set to launch soon and I have arranged my first two events:
An Open House, which is largely an informal affair, where the normally members only areas are going to be open to the public.
and!
A Singles Soiree. I have sent messengers to all Heads of Houses and their Voices to make my intentions clear: I want to facilitate House ties by putting all single-and-looking people into one space and providing a fun atmosphere for them to get to know each other.
However, in the interest of providing a productive evening for you and your Houses, I encourage communication!
If you intend on coming to the Soiree, please speak to your Head of House, Voice, or whomever might be responsible for arranging treaties and marriages to talk to each other. Marriages are ultimately, a by product of treaties between Houses and things that might be up for consideration are:
*What House (or Houses) is your House looking to work more closely with? Are they interested in ties with Duchies? Marches? Counties? Baronies?
*What House (or Houses) is your House specifically looking to avoid at all costs?
*Are you able to marry out? Is your House looking specifically to marry someone in? Is this completely negotiable?
*What kind of a person does your House need - someone who is good with diplomacy? Strategy? Warfare? Agriculture?
If you have any questions, feel free to send me a messenger or come and meet with me.
As for 'spectators', the doors will not be open for you at the Singles Soiree. All who attend are expected to participate - but will never be forced to participate with someone that they refuse to.
RSVPs are appreciated, but not strictly necessary. I would like to ensure that I have enough gifts for you to take home.
Updates and details on further events to be coming soon!

I never thought I'd have my dreams and aspirations shattered to this level; to this degree. Recently I arrived upon the training grounds meaning to drop yet another donkey wagon worth of questions upon that scholar I met a day prior, Rinel. Sadly we didn't get to speak much, but that's not the point of this little hinting into my relatively sullen existence. A man of the Inquisition had a brief exchange of words with the local nobility, and the disrespect given to him was beyond belief. The way they chewed and stomped on him as if he was nothing more than a mere squire brought me down to disbelief. Its saddening, in a way, to see a structurized organization disrespect to that degree. Hopefully I'll be able to meet the burnt man; the Inquisitor, how did she call him.. I can't recall, I can't bloody remember. You've got problems, Barik. What was it, Jared? Gareth? Hell. I'll ask her again next time I see her.

She told me to wear a helmet. And to avoid the clocktower. I will promise, for now, to avoid the clocktower. I think I will try and rig a device that will better allow me to study it from affair. (The word is crossed out, heavily, and corrected.) AFAR. I'll need to visit a glazier with my specific requirements. Or, I could just cut the glass myself. I certainly don't see anything going wrong with that.

He offered me a bit of excellent advice. On his say-so, I will avoid getting stabbed in the chest with a sword. IF I do, I am to immediately seek the attention of his sister, Lady Margret Greemarch for medical care. Although, I wonder how mobile someone would be IF they were run through with a sword. I suppose it would entirely depend on the depth of the wound, and where, and how it happened.
