I fondly hope that the journey to the Forest will be nothing but marching in empty woods while others scout.

How it goes with my hopes.

Tonight, I felt as though I had half the Houses of the Oathlands in the hall for dinner. And the experience has me convinced -- I'll simply have to invite the other half, next time.

The Merchant's Assembly went very well for the first one held, and Lady Lucita is a lovely and able co-hostess. There was talk of holding another, and people seemed quite interested so it must be repeated.

I am deeply honored to have been asked to become a Voice for the Velenosa family. I might not have been born a Velenosa, but I proudly carry it and all that comes with being one.

I also like paper work, but don't tell Talen that. I have enough of my own to deal with that I'd rather he handle what he is given.

Wish there was a way to maintain two lines of thought at once. So many need help, mind fractured but not in productive way. Pieces still need to be connected. Will help Eirene to best of ability this week, then return to ballistae design next. Wish I could continue in my sleep.

Relationship Note on Marian

(And by 'missed a great chance', I mean, 'you can still seize this wonderful opportunity'.)

Relationship Note on Victus

For clarity's sake, Your Grace, will you fight anyone in stockings or anyone wearing stockings? I mean, really, if you're fighting about stockings (even if the specific stockings you are championing are Princess Alarissa's), you should be fighting in stockings.

You and Princess Marian missed a great chance to showcase the finest artisanal armored stockings in the Oathlands, which would honor the craftsmen of both Princess' previous home. Jayus, too! And think of the commerce. Gild!

Relationship Note on Eleyna

I'm another that firmly believes Velenosa is in good hands with Archduchess Eleyna. I pity the woes she will have to endure, all the increased work and paperwork. All while trying to keep a firm handle on what Prince Talen will get himself into. Quite the workload.

I cannot begin to express just how much joy I feel in my heart that my marriage to Inigo has truly helped to mend the broken history between Tor and Southport. Many noble marriages are solely based on politics and while our union does fulfill a great political alliance, ours was a story of love long before we exchanged vows.

Our people see this. They see the work we have put into this and how we will continue to keep peace between our cities.

I also know in my heart Leo is proud of me.

Relationship Note on Talen

Another title for you, my good man. My have you grown since we've first met! Better hire a scribe who will take down all your messengers.

Relationship Note on Eleyna

It has truly been an honor and a pleasure to serve Velenosa as a Voice during a more fragile time. Your decision to simplify things and keep the Lyceum organized and streamline is something I personally agree with. Kudos to you for bringing back stability.

Been seeing a lot of old faces this week, which is always nice, old faces are easier to remember than the new ones that keep popping up since being in the city. Seen that cripple... umm... Ian? Yes, I believe it was Ian, met him in that sharp looking courtesan's gaming place the first time, he was then having a drink with me in my own hall... curious why he came so far north. I also saw Princes Rey once again, always a pleasant young woman, she sure does think I am handsome.

Relationship Note on Dante

I've yet to see my Sword practice in his new armor! Congratulations on getting it done. I fully support this whole mix n'match leather and metal.

Relationship Note on Joslyn

I finally got a chance to spar with Joslyn and it was great. She hits really hard! I have something to work towards that is for certain. I really enjoyed the time we spent together, hopefully we can perhaps hang out again or I can spar with her when I have trained a bit more!

We're living in most curious times. We're reading stories of fantastic events that are written as if they had actually occurred. It seems that a new future really is upon us. I'm most interested to see where this all leads.

I do not write half of what my friend wants me to say in journals. Most of it, really. But I swear, she gets madder and madder at me every day when I don't do what she wants. If I thought she were capable of violence--.

Oh, maybe I should have entered this in the black. I'm sorry, scholars. The rest will need to go there.

Sometimes, I can't help but wonder around the city in awe. Then, of course, my friend calls me a silly twit. She's been here forever; she has ceased to see it as special. She would rather get to work, rather than waste the time with me, exploring the city.

But Arx is so big, and different, and overwhelming. How can I concentrate solely on work?

I am not sure what I thought would greet me when I arrived. I am not sorrowed by how things have been transpiring. There is a lovely revel in remembering old touchstones and praying in familiar grounds. I had not realized how I had missed Arx until I find myself back within it.

My first venture was to take drink with my cousin, Aurelian. We happened upon others and it ended with an offer to educate me in coffee. I am excited to learn about something new. I am also venturing out to learn other things that will be of worth to my family and the honor of our lands.

If you are reading my humble words, I thank your interest. I am looking for more instruction to the other lands that mix here in such a lovely circle of peace and understanding. I have my duties to be the best I can with healing, but I wish to learn more about lands that are not my own. If you are able to do this, please send word.

I haven't written anything in some time now, but I don't suppose Velichor will mind any. What's to write? I was content, so I wrote nothing. And then I was drunk, so I thought I'd spare the Scholars. But here are a few verses. They rhyme and everything. It's not a poem, it's just the start of one, more or less, but I don't think I'll finish it. There's a sweet spot for the writing of such things. Not too little wine, not too much, just enough. But wine's cheap, and it's hard to stay in-between long enough for what you'd call proper poetry.

Where did the wild wind waft the thistle's petals?
What starry skies smile to see the passing knight?
What prickly paths, bound in brambles and in nettles,
Will lead astray the laugh that lights the longest night?

Please note that the scholars may take some time preparing your journal for others to read.
