Ugh. I went to the bar last night. I asked for a drink to make me forget. Tanith Grayhope delivered! But, now I can't remember anything from that night. I remember going to the bar, but then I woke up in the Kennex Kay. Gotta love my patron for looking out for me. Not many people in the world willing to do something like that.

Feel the need to take to sea. Will be setting out afore long, with wind at my back and broadsword in hand. Or, as a funny fucker might put it:
I'm bored. Get to the boats.

I may be common scum, Scholar, but even I wouldn't take someone's heart out after they were dead and try to preserve it, then talk publically about how the chosen method failed and I needed to talk to an alchemist to get a better one. What in the Abyss does anyone need a preserved heart for? Are they scared they might be lacking one of their own, or wanting to make sure there's a spare?
Gods alone know why anyone would do that, much less a noble Marquis of the Compact. And we're seriously supposed to look up to silks as a model of how to behave? It's bad enough that he's a pirate and a criminal, and famed far and wide for it. What's next? How many more blind eyes will the Compact turn just because the man is a silk?

I read Evaristo's recent journal entry about what he wanted when he died and I find myself agreeing with him.
A celebration. A big one. With everyone invited and feeling welcome. Starting at sunset after the pyre's lit, and going till dawn and into the next night and beyond, if they want it.
No flowery speeches or tears. I don't want to bore folk with words or stories that should have been shared while I was walking the world. Just something lively and joyous for those that I loved, liked, cared for, trusted, did business with, fought shoulder to shoulder beside and shared a drinks with.
I want is a room full of big smiles, fond looks, the best of drinks and good people sharing good cheer and hangovers all around the next day that will remind them they are alive and should live each each moment like it was their last.
Burn me. Don't bury me. And set my ashes near the sea. With a good high view of the bonny blue, if you can. Mark my spot or not. I won't care. I'll not be there.
All I want is to go out like I came in, with fire in my heart and my eyes to the sea and skies.

I adore autumn. It is the season of change. The flames of summer about to give way to the chill of winter. Everything is beautiful in the colors of decay. There is a brilliance in it. A glorious beauty.

She's a delightful protégée.
If honeysilk was made manifest in an individual who could then convince tin that it was alaricite, and river stones that they were dragonweep.

Aunt Eirene's twins were gifted blunted swords. As their gifts. Now I'm getting messages from asking me to come over, to who them how to use them. Eirene I'm sure is THRILLED I'm sure. I can't believe they're already as old as they are. But at least they have their gift now...I thought they'd quit pestering me about it after getting it, but I was wrong. I think I'll save these letters when they're older, About when they pestered auntie Thea for lessons. HA!

I have been told my work on divine servant armored gown for the Bravura Exclusive met with high praise. I am afraid I might be touched in the head like my cousin as I was so involved in my work I forgot to attend. I am uncertain if doing so was a lost opportunity, or something I will thank the pantheon for later.

Relationship Note on Cerys
I am told the Princess was overflowing with praise at the commission I completed. I am still proud of the Goldenwood feast table and hope word of it will inspire other great houses to have something of the like in their residence, if only not to be upstaged by the Princess. She is in the end a very generous soul for taking a risk on a crafter like with little to no fame.

Relationship Note on Sunaia
I have made a mischievous, delightful, moony new friend. Lady Sunaia and I are like two peas in a pod on the forest floor. It is time to forage again!
I am on the lookout for a patron. I have an idea that has popped into my head. I am driven -- scarily driven, and now I want this more than anything. Will it be successful? Time will tell. When I have ideas, I do not easily let them go.
After all, I am a Whisper now. That was my idea. I didn't let it go.

As of late I have had my loyalty and honor questioned by one of my own blood.
I have had been accused of forsaking my duties to my family and my people.
And I can't help but feel that such words while meant to try and change my
mind and weaken my resolve are doing anything but.
It makes me question my future and the path it will lead me on.
Will I know happiness and be given the chance to prove what I have said all along?
Or will I be pushed into the fray against the enslaved and those who hold their chains..
Or to join those who serve the gods?
I am at a divergence in the path I for so long have known,
Three new paths and potential futures laid before me.
Which shall my feet find I do not know..
What I do know is this.. I have done my duty to my people
and have continued to do so despite these accusations.
I have remained honorable despite the lack of honor behind
the accusations being leveled against me..

I have had more time to think than that I care for as of late. I always knew that this would be my life, I never questioned upon the duties that would be requested, demanded of this position. I seek only what is best for the people, and if it looks like I am only looking out for myself and my family then you don't know what it is to be in this place.
To seek more, a higher stance, is to grow, to show that you are capable of such more than what others have put upon you.
Don't misunderstand this as words of wisdom without bite. We've stepped over others, we'll step over you if needed. At least no one is offering to remove a few inches from your person this time.

Relationship Note on Piccola
Again, I see your point, though with the foe ahead of me, I'd still favor a big fucking blade or axe over a pair of knives. If you talk of striking from surprise, any weapon in hand gets deadly, but I've heard many Arvani start crying, "Gloria!" at such suggestions.
I'm with you on pikes. Heard a venerable warlord say once that, "There's nothing like an ordered pike formation to make an otherwise bold warrior say 'fuck it, let the artillery soften them up, first'."

Relationship Note on Jacali
I came upon a shav vessel traveling between the Isle of Markets and Pieros. Taking us for a merchant ship, they attacked, and found not only a resolute defense, but Seraceni pirates boarding their vessel and slaying any who refused to surrender. We recovered coins stamped with the griffon similar to those we saw in Tremorous, and I had the opportunity to practice removing a heart from a fallen enemy who'd managed to hack old Hob's leg, before Anne stabbed him in the back. Hearts, it turns out, are harder to remove from humans than from other animals I've dressed, but an axe followed by a serrated dagger seems the best method. The alcohol we tried to preserve it in did not produce the desired effect.
I shall have to speak with the alchemists in Arx for a better solution. It's likely Jacali can help with something that will keep a heart fresh, though I'm certain I'll be subjected to her recitation of various self-granted titles intermixed with 'diddums.' I hope the archduchess and Prince Sebastian can appreciate the effort I am supplying to this endeavor. I expect to be named the silver baboon of Setarco or some other lofty title if all of this mutilation should pay off.

If I die, I want the funeral to be one lavish giant party. The kind where people dance on the tables and have to be told day after what happened. Where rank and title mean little, cause everyone lets go. A proper revelry of life.
