I have contracted for, and retained the services of the Crimson Blades, building a new chapter house on Darkwater to support them. It will be a good expansion of my power in the Saffron and a damn hard surprise for any shavs trying to hit us.
Which... I admit... I think is a very real possibility.

My new armor is complete.
Master Torian did the base work, and the quality is decent enough. It's a complex set of armor, so I am not displeased.
Mistress Alarie did the finishing work, as well as the cloak. I am confident when I return to the sea, I will present a fearsome visage to the Shavs.

I've ordered an apron with a big pocket for the mice, so Chip will be forced to go out more and Boots will have more freedom to do so...
I'm not sure if it's a really good idea or a terrible one, but if doesn't work, I can always use it on the gardens to gather herbs...

Relationship Note on Calathane
An interesting fellow. A decent head on his shoulders, if he can remove them from being buried in between the...preoccupations that this city has to offer. Not that I am one to judge, mind! Been down that path very often myself, which is why I am warnin-Scholar, stop squinting at me- warning the fellow to focus on his word.
Yes, that first part was a play on words, you daft man.

Met a lovely young woman by the name of Luna today. Had no shoes! I know the situation in the city is desperate at times, especially for people in the lower Boroughs, but this did bring it home more than the day usually does. I took her to get some boots made at the shop of my excellent friend Morrighan. It's just across from the Bank, I'd really recommend it for anyone looking for good clothing this winter.
She also had a pet 'performing bear'. I admit, that was a new one for me.

Autumn rolls back into the city with a crisp kiss of air I am still not used to. I miss my home; I miss Tor. The house in Arx has been eerily quiet. Not that he was loud or boisterous. But his presence was greater than one would have imagined. For all that I would do to annoy him on purpose, I would gladly take it all back to have him here. What is a rose without her thorns?

[ From the desk of B. Mercier, Tea Shop Mistress: ]
The following is based on my own experiences and observations on the subject.
Grief is a natural reaction to loss. The person experiencing the loss feels like they have had something taken away. Grief may be experienced mentally, physically, socially, or emotionally depending on each individual.
Emotional reactions may include: anger, guilt, sadness, and utter despair. Physical reactions can include sleeplessness, appetite changes, physical problems, or possible illness. Social reactions can include feelings of responsibility for other family members, having to communicate with family or friends, feelings of being isolated... or difficulty going back to work.
Forming valuable relationships will help to make it easier to live in the present.

Relationship Note on Leona
Leona Thrax has long been unwelcome in my family. She made a choice once to defy my Lord Uncle, the Prince of Maelstrom, and there are and have been consequences to that.
But he has passed, and done is done, and oaths were sworn that cannot be easily broken.
And ultimately I find that I would have had a greater contempt for an oathbreaker cousin than I do a girl who ran off to be a knight and excelled at it.
So while I did not approve of her choice then, and still do not, she is my kin by blood and she is no longer unwelcome as far as I am concerned.

They're everywhere. I've been in the same room as more than half a dozen princes and princesses. One tried to reassure me he liked me by telling me what he'd do if he didn't. I just wanted some cider to drink.
It doesn't matter what I'm doing, someone noble keeps showing up. On patron, fighting in the training grounds, trying to eat my lunch. Nobles, they're all over this city.
I tried asking a friendly half-giant what to do, and he suggested I do what he did. I ended up shouting ladyship at two nobles near the city center, and everyone stared at me. I need better advice.

I'M A GUARD! AN IRON GUARD! I DID IT!
I've already sent a bunch of letters back home with some of my starting pay. They gave me all this armor to wear and it is heavy but I'm determined to be the best iron guard they've ever seen.
Not only that, but I'm working alongside a PRINCESS. I had no idea they could or even would join the guard. I remember all the stories about princes and princesses when I was growing up, they were all such important people with special destinies.
And... And I remember the stories about what happens to a commoner that forgets their place. This is scarier than monsters.

Finally in the city! I've heard stories about Arx but nothing could prepare me for being here. Everything is so big! The people are so fancy! The food is so expensive.
I'm going to be trying out for the guard right away. I'm told I was lucky, they've got a recruitment drive going on. I might not be a trainee for very long. I'm so excited! I can't wait to see how I measure up.

I made a little bit of scratch, Rein and I should be able to eat this week. JOY! I did a palm reading for Marquis Kennex. He fed us, which I am more than happy about. I suppose I should buy some shoes since winter is coming. Then I met Asger a warrior or fur trapper of some kind. I like his tree marmot, he is cute, I had to part with a thimble though. Rein isn't so convinced. I should get some warmer clothing. Rein is going to want to hibernate soon. So I'll have to dance alone for awhile.

Week 2 in the City of Arx
Meeting a lot of new people. People here seem nice. Spirits are not so nice. City spirits seem to be overall and always grumpy. I have had some offers to lay my head but I refuse to leave Reinhardt behind.
