I realize, apropos of nothing in specific (hah), that I know very little about architecture or related theories of design. I ought to learn, though I've not the smallest idea where to begin.

I've heard a fair few stories about the Brothers Kennex, some more embellished than others. None of them -- not even the more fanciful ones -- included warning that one of them is a giant. I feel this is not a point that should be overlooked.

The week has passed, I should not say uneventfully, but without great personal trouble. Attending an evening with the Graysons, things were pleasant enough... were there not an attack upon the King, albeit after I had departed. It does cause a certain chill, to imagine danger so close! Otherwise, I continue my work, including some experiments with the new flower that I hope may prove fruitful.

Har har. I see you're changing professions now and turning in your needlework for a jester's hat.

All I can say is I have the moves and my sister would be proud of me!

If your palms are sweaty and your heart is racing, might I suggest getting out of the forge and having a drink of water before you fall into said forge and bleed all over the ingots? Bad business there.

This week has been filled with so many ups and downs. I have spent time with my sister Eleanor for the first time in years. I have had a chance to speak and spend time with my husband. I went to my very first masquerade and was put in the pool. It was... incredible. And I am so, so, so ready for Squall to be here.

Gods and monsters and men all obey the supreme law of numbers. Mathematical truths do not change from moment to moment, and no lie, no matter how cunning, can alter their judgement. One can seek to bend them for a time, but the cruel edge of reason will always snap back into place, within the fullness of time.

I am furious. Absolutely, positively furious and I cannot express the depths of my rage. I had no idea how naive I have been. Never again.

My Liege,
We thank you and your wife for hosting a most beautiful Masquerade. It was the first event of such a nature that both my wife and I attended and we are looking forward to experiencing another. Most of all, however, we look forward to hearing how many are going to go sneaking into that beautiful pool upon your estate.

It was a pleasure to meet you and thank you for keeping me company after Alis and Fia left for the evening. Hopefully we will get to meet again soon. You both were very kind to me.

Princess Jaenelle Velenosa, formerly of House Thrax. She seems like a sweet and kind woman but there must be more to her. Why else would Eleyna name her Voice? I look forward to finding out how capable she is, for she must be a formiddable woman, like many from Houses Thrax and Velenosa.

Cristoph and Nicia,
Thank you for the very entertaining Masquerade! I enjoyed it greatly, especially the part where the fierce tigress was tossed into the water. It was definitely worth having all those feathers woven into my hair for my costume! Also I got to dress up as an owl just to be a brat to my brother! So you know that was an added bonus!

Unless, of course, the beating heart and sweaty palms are caused by terror. Then it may be wise to let go, and run to the nearest knight, Templar, Knight of Solace, or Iron Guard.

People always want to know why I decided to be an armorer like my dad and not a baker like my mother or a healer like my oldest sister or even a seamstress like my younger sister. My answer is always the same; Quite simply, I did not choose my passion. It chose me. I decided to pursue it and not ignore it.
My advice to anyone is when you find that one thing that makes your heart race and your palms get sweaty, chase it down and don't let go.

Princess Fatima Thrax remains wise counsel, and an engaging conversationalist. It is good to have talked to her again, and hopefully, we won't have to wait as long to fill each other's ears with news once more.

Sometimes, I wonder if perhaps life had been easier if I had just kept my head down, instead of making a few of the choices I have.
That's not a complaint, mind. Merely a rumination on the path not taken.
But I don't know that I want easy.

I admit that I was nervous meeting you. I was nervous before you walked in the door, I was nervous when I set my eyes on you, and now I am nervous no longer. I recognize that I will not like some answers, I recognize that I will not accept some customs, but I recognize beyond all the bonds of kinship. I cannot wait to proudly introduce you to everyone.
