It is surprising how much a fresh coat of paint and someone with an eye for detail can transform a room from being tired and worn and something that depresses the soul, to something delightful.
Thank goodness for competent decorators.

I had a brilliant idea, and it was so brilliant that I managed to talk a friend into agreeing that it was exactly that brilliant, and so together we shall conspire to enact it. It shall take a little time, a little energy, but in the end, I am quite confident that it shall be quite the success.
I just have to be patient enough to let it come to fruition, and I'm usually not all that good at patience. Stupid waiting.

Often, the simplest explanation for an event is seen as the most likely. Often, this is true.
As we think of the word, it may be easy to perceive events as mere cause and effect.
It would be pleasant to exist in a world where that maxim was true. Yet, one might see a river and see it placid. And be dragged down by its undertow. In such a world, one must infer the existence of a current one cannot see or understand.
In such a light, the maxim is proven false, until one adds such to their view of the world.
The absence of proof is not, after all, the proof of absence.

I made a skull made of cake this week. Red velvet and dipped in white frosting, carefully carving it away until it looked almost real. Then I etched flowers along the temples, down the mandible, and made a rose of candy to sprout from its teeth.
I left it somewhere as a gift to Death.
Or was I dreaming?

One day you were here.... the next day you were gone...
Gone without.. any word..
This breaks my heart.
There's no more I can say but that. My heart breaks yet again.
The losses, keep stacking up.

I can tell when something is amiss when not even the feel of bared knuckles on bared skin rouses my interest.
This is not prideful boasting, or a proclamation that I've achieved some sort of mastery of the spar - far from it.
It's as though the very ground beneath us is burgeoning, the moment before rupture, and I am unable to take my concentration away from it for fear that I might miss the moment it splits into a yawning chasm. Too much time to my own devices.
I need a drink, a tumble, or a fucking nap.

I am not entirely sure what pleases Gloria, but I hope the goddess of valor would smile upon one of the finest sparring bouts I've ever had the pleasure of partaking in. It was myself and Sir Austen against Sir Porter and Sir Brannen of the Knights of Solace and, even if my brother King's Own and I ultimately were taken down, I am still proud of how we held the field and defended one another, and in the end yielded with good knightly comportment. All honors to Sir Porter and Sir Brannen for their good and clean win, as well. It was a fine day which reminded me why it is both useful and fun to train outside the barracks, and I look forward to more matches like it. Next time, three on three!

Relationship Note on Quenia
Poetry in the whites seems to be popular these days.
----
Sun's light, unbounded
From sky above clouds and wishes
Of peaks melts
Ice
The way you
Melt
Every vestige of defenses
Packed in like snow
Around
A decrepit heart
Yielding heavenly nutrients
Again like sun
To seed
Which sprout anew
After winter's death
Love is reborn
In your eyes

I disagree, Grief can be many things - such as when you want pancakes with blueberries in them, yet you have no pancakes with blueberries in them in which to have.

Of my Dearest friends is Romulius Blackshore. Many heavy things lay upon his shoulders as we prepare for war, remember that your family can help you shoulder the burden. They can also help you by making you pancakes. Pancakes with blueberries made into them. Pancakes with blueberries made into them that you can share by inviting family friends over.

Well shiver-me-timbers, this Princess that would be Pirate is stealing not only my valuables, but my heart! Perhaps the most enjoyable, flirtatious, rough and tumble woman I have ever met in my life, she is enjoyable beyond spades, and flirty barbs in missives I must admit has been something I most look forward to.

Relationship Note on Lustry
Welcome one, welcome all to Princess Lustry Thrax. One of perhaps the most naturally social of the family, I must admit that I must have a thing for the people of Thrax and their fealties, as I find only the finest of people, trustworthy, and those to take note of. Princess Lustry is absolutely no exception.
From being lovely, to having a unique smile, to being genuinely interested in others - I think she will make a solid mark on Arx and her people.
To those reading this - you should make an effort to get to know this woman, she's kind, she's fun to be around, and she wants to do well by her people. Shall we draw together to welcome her to Arx? I do hope that we shall!

You've captured a real treasure in Lucita Saik, one of my most beloved cousins. I'm afraid I do not know you well, but perhaps we can rectify that in the near future.
Hang onto her tight and cherish her with all you have, as she's a very special woman whom deserves all the love and respect one can muster.

I attended a wedding in the Thraxian ward the other day. I went along with Princess Sorrel, and we had a grand time discussing everything. Though I think Lord Wash does like to ask interesting and infuriating questions of her. Rocks do not have souls, indeed.

The story of a bride snatching up an octopus in her bare hand just after swearing her oaths to her new husband in order to keep it from entangling a Godsworn is, well, rather unbelievable. But I suspect there is no other way our wedding could have gone. Perhaps it is a sign that Mangata smiled upon us in that moment, as we stood in the imported waters of the Mourning Isles within the atrium shrine at the Thrax estate. If nothing else, we are blessed with an abundance of friendship. The sheer outpouring of well wishes is more than I can individually address here. However, every single guest, every single gift, every single note, is cherished.
I do want to commit a few notes of gratitude to history: Princess Alarissa has been exceptionally kind and welcoming. Her offer to assist with the wedding and providing the shrine for use was a gift I never expected. She is an exemplar of grace. Marquessa Norah's decisive action, unwavering certainty, and continued support have put my life on a course I could not have imagined a year ago but now cannot see having been any other way. And Blessed Avary, your words have ushered forth a new alliance between houses and turned the page to the next chapter of our lives. Perhaps someday I can properly express how meaningful it was to have you, specifically, be the one to do so. So too, Baroness Lucita should be commended for seeing a surprising opportunity and taking it, making difficult decisions for the benefit of her house, and being steadfast in her commitment to Saikland Greens.
May Eswynd and Saik find enduring strength, flourishing growth, and lasting friendship through this union.
I should check with Neilda to learn what happened to the octopus. I wouldn't have trusted anyone else to pass it off to.

These past days I have been studying and learning. In speciality, learning the weaknesseas, if any of my oathed enemy: the Malardin. The Gods, however, have favored me with new clues that will make my task easier. I have two leads I wish to explore. Perhaps I am lucky and someone reads this Journal, contacts me and randomly decides to be that man or woman who have a heart of Gold.
My tasks here are complex. But systematically destroying Evil where it rises, in my humble opinion, is one of the more important ones. The gods have grant me Strength. Which I wield against our enemies. This is why I have been training my martial skill. So as to perform even stronger blowe. Once my training is continued I might pick up a few new skills from a few mentors.
My current focus is new weapons and armor so that I may be prepared. In the meantime I have met all kinds of interesting people.
