I haven't been getting nearly enough time with those I love as of late. Hopefully, now that the combat has ended, that will change. It's a give and take, I suppose. Trade one for the other. I wonder which I enjoy more? Civilian life certainly doesn't agree with my as much as that of a soldier... I suppose I'm lucky to have been named the Sword of Tor - combat is always a part of my life. I've been slacking on my training as of late, though the war certainly helped with that. The training arena will certainly be seeing a good deal more of me in the near future, that much is certain.

Getting back to regular life after combat is always trying. Sometimes I think I'm much more suited to being at war than being at peace. I suppose I should count myself as lucky that I survived it, but I've been surviving wars since before I was a man. I find that I thirst for it, the stakes, the feeling of urgency... everything about war seems to agree with me. I wonder what that says about me, as a person?

Soon we'll have a location selected, and then we can move on to planning and construction. It won't be quick, but it's sorely needed to handle all the new orphans.

Maybe I should have become a Whisper. Or not. Not that handsome, ain't got charm.

You proclaimed you were done with coddling me. So be done with it! I have grown up as you wanted. I have taken on responsibilities and become a part of this community. So who I spend my spare moments with is no longer your concern. If you feel it otherwise, we'll be waiting to talk to you, but if you take this to swords, I'll have no choice but to pick up a blade myself...!

Prince Aiden Grayson is someone I've come to know more and more over the past week. At times he reminds me of my darling Saedrus, the willingness he has to step forward and open himself up... The part of him that values beauty, and isn't afraid to dig deep within himself to bring it forth. He is excellent company, he plays music that makes your heart weep, he is attentive and selfless and dedicated to his endeavors. I so pleased we have begun a new friendship and look forward to his music and his company.

This has been a miserable week. A very exciting, exhilarating, nerve-wracking, occasionally on fire week. But miserable, all the same.

Don't think I didn't see what was going on, Baron. We still need to have a talk. You better hope it's a day where you win the match, Lord Commander Sir Baron Whitehawk.

Tikva
If this is supposed to be historic and a chronicle...
When I first met Lady Tikva Riven I became infatuated with and what I thought she was. Her personality crashed hard against me my own and... I could very well love who she really is. Now that I have begun to see past the first brushes, past the outward layers. I'm beyond infatuation now to true respect and adoration.

I had the pleasure of hosting the auction for charity with Lady Charlaine and I am so glad for it. The entire evening was her brain child and I was so honored to have been a part of it. Throughout the evening she was attentive and available and very comfortable with setting the tone of the evening and keeping things moving forward. She was an excellent co-host and I would be flattered and happy to work with her again.

Honestly it's quite gross and adorable. Like the world's cutest kitten with the most horrible gas. The kind of gas that melts diamondplate.
I'm sure your children will be equally gross and adorable.

Those poor dogs. It's a good thing that whole business didn't seem to scare cats so much. Meowlarice was a bit antsy but I think that's because of all the dogs going crazy. We were visiting my folk, as I don't think the dogs got crazy all the way in the Uppers, but maybe some did. But it's like I said to Lord Silas, animals know things. Some of them aren't so smart, but they can sniff things. Like cats and elves, for example.

"Little Thief". It has been such a long time since anyone has called me that.
I don't know if it's better or worse that it's in my dreams.

Much bustle about the celebrations.
Are we celebrating the looming toll of death, or that we remain alive?
I can find little cause to celebrate either.

No word from the steward of the Lament for a fortnight.
He must have died somehow.
Else he may wish it when I find out what's caused the laxity.

I attended my first ball, and felt all out of sorts even with all the recent training in etiquette. I only stayed for a short time but the Party Prince made good on his promise of a dance, and later found me in the Redrain grounds. We shared a nice dance, under the stars, to the sound of birds and frogs, and a Bard whom happened to be singing just for us.
I do have to thank Prince Kieran for a wondrous time.
