You may charm Master Voss, but he will never admit it.

I am humbled, thankful, and hoping I will be able to live up to expectations.

Such a wicked sense of humor, and the teasing! Never leave her company without a smile and usually a blush or two. Her generosity is... unusually generous and the advice sometimes on the level of that of Lady Eirene. If things get much more uncomfortable, I might even consider heeding that advice. We work well together and seem to help each other refine ideas, turning vagueness into possibly something that might actually work.

It has been a busy time, mostly focused around my shop. Setting it up and finding an assistant has taken quite a lot of time. I think Master Milton Miller will be a quick study, however, and as such I will be able to refocus my energies soon. I might have to stock more coloured inks; what I learned of economics from my family's shop in the Lowers has required some modification now that I am dealing more with the nobility.
My sister half-jokes I should send some nobles her way, and since I try to be a good brother, here it is: for all your bowyer and fletcher needs, go to the Lowers Fletcher. Yes, that's the name. My mother insists we were the first. We're the one with the jaunty blue door.

Climbed a tower. Found out old friends weren't dead. Got two new proteges in Princess Sabella and Duchess Margot.
Overall, been a good week of productivity. Now we do the paperwork side of business.

I got to see Uncle Cal today! Damn I missed him. Best sense of humor I ever ran across. I sure am glad Aunt Esoka sees it too.
Alright, enough for now. Dot's hungry and for that matter, I am too.

Prior to a planning meeting for a scouting trip to the lands around Whitehold I have decided to make Violet Marjawn my protege. I will instruct her in all that is good and true from the Northern lands: Whiskey, honor, and unyielding determination. May she ever make me proud to call her my friend.

Dearest Lord of Wisdom, receive my words for posterity.
For every thing that I find intimidating and scary about Arx City, there's something equally beautiful and comforting to turn to. Sometimes I regret leaving the family farm and the tavern I grew up in. But then things can happen here which make it all worthwhile. A shining if frightening future.

Having finally met and had the opportunity to converse at length with Derovai Voss, one of my husband's dearest friends...I must confess that I quite enjoy his company despite the obvious reasons we have for disliking one another. I'll charm him yet, just you wait.

I think we talked one about the art of mystery. We common folk have that freedom you know, the peerage comes from a place and has a name and that's supposed to mean something. Crownsworn born up from the mud, don't have no expectations. We can be whatever we can make ourselves to be. I happen to make myself a mystery. Keeps life flexible.

Another expedition into part's unknown, another brush with death soon to happen. Should I not come back, I've got a will stashed in my black journals from the time of the Pirate War. I've no real modifications I think need to be made, except that Ailith should get her beard beads back and also grow a beard to use them. Oh and Rinel, Rinel should get something shiny. I got a bunch of shiny shit stashed in my room, somebody break it open if I'm a corpse and find her something she likes.
Here we go again.

Sometimes I think you write these things just to confuse the lot of us that know you, or think we know you, and question all the truths we take for granted.
I say this fondly, but don't let it go to your head.

I've been training lately, and for good cause. There are a number of expeditions upcoming, led by others, and one of my own. And, in case I should perish on one of them, I've commissioned a lovely surprise for my family, crafted by the inestimably talented Master Jayeth Black. I can't wait to unveil it for them. Marius will surely be entirely speechless. I think it will go in the center of the hedgemaze. That seems fitting.

So there wasn't many people lined up to roast the King last night so I got up and did it. Was it the nicest thing? Of course not, that's the point of a roast. Someone has to be an asshole and make terrible comments.
Since I'm known for being both loud and obnoxious and foul mouthed, who better?
Seriously though. Don't execute me your majesty. You're pretty chill and easy to get along with and you can certainly say whatever you like about me anytime you want.

Early in my life, as I was scavenging for enough coin to survive to the next day, I came across a man who could spin the most fantastic stories. He is, in no small part, where my own love of this art form has come from, undoubtedly. Day after day, for weeks on end, I'd take my meager bread and soup and sit with him in the hole in a wall, run down and vacated building that many called home. And always I'd be fascinated by not just the words he used, but his subject matter. Never was it simply dry facts, and never was it mere gossip. It was life experiences, told in such a way that any street urchin of a boy like me could understand. The best stories are ones that we have lived and can translate into emotional connections with others.
Far too often in my work here in Arx, I find my eyes glazed over reading through ledgers, reviewing trade deals that drip with such dryness I might as well be in the desert. I'd written to the Count and Countess of Keaton about a potential business arrangement. These matters? Are just a necessity of what one must do to arrange the best ingredients and work for a brewery. I had, in truth, expected yet another of those understandably dry, factual encounters, but to my delight? What I read was as good as any story I might tell. It still contained all of the important information -- but the context the Count painted for me made it clear that his lands, people and trade? Are something he has experienced first hand, not just seen as words upon a piece of paper. It allowed me to far more vividly picture and relate to what our potential arrangement might mean, and for that? I'm all the richer, without even having another silver in my pocket.

I hear so much about all these new babies coming about. Maybe I should start working on baby clothes! Cotton is easy to wash.

Got punched by my sister, piss drunk with the King, pranked my sister, filled my blacks with impure thoughts, illegally boarded a fine ship and passed out in some silk's fancy house.
Life is great!
