It wasn't that long ago I thought just getting him back would solve all our problems.
Too much has happened since. Lost one too many people. Learnt a little too much about the nature of this world. All those dark little misgivings I always had and usually ignored got louder and louder.
But he's still my friend. And I'm still going to be happy, damnt.

Relationship Note on Joscelin
Why does she appear to grieve so much more for the passing of my own family than I do?
I'll have to seek her out for a cup of tea again one of these days.

Relationship Note on Michael
Michael mentioning a girl to me is nothing new.
Michael mentioning a girl by name to me is nothing new.
Michael rambling at a messenger to convince me of something is nothing new, either.
But for him to suddenly talk politics while doing that?
This is worrisome. It reminds me of the first time Gabriel handed him a sharpened blade.

My mother, who was also Voice of Gemecitta once (and was, by what others said when they could bring themselves to speak of her, clever and charming and everything a Lycene noblewoman should be), died when I was born. My father remarried when I was still little more than a babe-in-arms and left me to Duke Marco and his duchess to raise. For all intents and purposes, I was raised as my cousin's much younger sister. I was given the same education as her--one suited to a future duchess.
I drove my governess to despair. She tried to teach me about duty and politics and law and all I wanted to do was read poetry and chase ghosts. She only looked more and more disappointed, and railed against me for never listening. Once she told me that filling my brain with cobwebs was a poor way to honour the gods who had given me such a fine one.
She was wrong, however. I did listen. I just didn't care.
This week it all came back to me. Years of tutorings, all the books I squinted at while trying to hide poetry and ghost stories behind them. All the things I must do, for Gemecitta, for my family, for my cousin.
I'm not sure I was meant for this either. Perhaps the gods who gave me a clever brain also gave me too soft a heart.

Still need someone to look my messengers over for me. Apparently I'm still not any good at it.

But those things coming to Arx are called the Bringers of Silence, so I think we ought to receive them with some merry Arxian noise. Take your silence and shove it, if you pardon, that's what I say.
We'll have dances and dirges by the time it's over and I aim to be around to play them.

As I lean on my own stake.
It is not ashamed to rely on others to help it reach its heights and blossoms with pride.
Pride that reminds me of my shame.
It speaks poetry to me, silently...
(of a heart's lament)
...and smells like blue.
So utterly blue.
