From day to day there are a great many things we encounter, view, sense, review, and the rest.
Thus it becomes quite frustrating when there is something that feels important or even critical in the moment that you've experienced it. That you tell yourself not to forget to write about later. Whether that'll be in the pages in the whites or blacks.
Then by the time you reach a journal? You've forgotten what you'd intended to write about. I'm clearly not utilizing Luigi to my greatest capacity, but can he really take on more duties? Probably not. Maybe it's time to call up Mario from perusing old tomes and the like.

Until someone pointed it out to me just the other day, I never knew that Whitehawks (white hawks) and Malvici (gold hawks) were both Houses of hawks.
Meanwhile, my protege Goodwoman Natalia Whisper has been incredibly helpful with military matters, and I am now pleased to point out my latest position as an Academy-of-War mentor. Please feel free to reach out for strategy lessons.

Relationship Note on Drake
My flitatious,impulsive younger brother. I would protect him with my life. I worry about him a good deal but I don't think most people fully appreciate the depth of his wit and character. He is a sensitive soul of deep emotion

Relationship Note on Moros
Lord Moros is my first true friend I've made since coming to the city. It's however involved hostage negations,schemes and threats of snow down one neck.
I look forward to seeing how our friendship alters when I no longer have snow to threaten you with.

Relationship Note on Liara
[A hand done copy of this letter is filed with the Great Archive.]
Dearest Mother,
I hope that all is well in Farhaven. I'm sorry I haven't written to you sooner, but everything here in Arx is so exciting and new! There's so much to do and so much to see. I haven't even yet managed to explore the entire city, but I will.
I wanted to belatedly share with you some good news! Princess Liara Grayson, the High Lady of the Crownlands, agreed to take me on as a protege! She's been so amazing so far! She's supporting my sudden interest in agriculture-- I'll write more about that soon! --and she's an amazing listener, and so good at guiding you to find what you want to do.
I think you would really like her! And I think she'll be an amazing patron, and help me go really far.
Yours,Bellamy

Relationship Note on Costas
I dreamt of you last night, my dark heart. I was drowning in a sea the color of your eyes while you, yourself, were standing upon an island. Tall and proud. That cocky smile upon your face as the waves battered me back. I called for you but my cries fell on deaf ears. I was swept away and you didn't come for me.
You told me, once, that love was a knife. Oh, those angst filled days when we were so enthralled with each other and our own drama. Star crossed lover's who must remain a secret.
I held onto that knife so long. I let it dig its way straight to my heart. I let that knife cut me straight to the bone. And how I want to let it go.
But I cannot forget you, I cannot let go.
Come home to me, Costas Voducce.

I had a wonderful night at the Ebb and Flow, meeting new faces. And getting to enjoy a fun drinking game with them all. I hope everyone managed to get home alright, and no one passed out in a snow bank on the way back home.

My time in Arx has been precious. I have learned so much, and even joined the Iron Guard like cousin Michael;but, alas, it's time for me to return home. Pridehall needs me...or maybe I need Pridehall. No matter, be it one or the other; the truth is: I'm feeling slightly homesick. Perhaps I'll change my mind and come back to the city again one day. But, for now, this is goodbye Arx!

Well, I did it. I worked up my nerve and went to another gathering. There were so many people. But it was a delightful bonfire and I felt as though I was deep in the woods, which was balm for the mind. It was certainly outside my comfort zone, but I am glad I went. And I met several friendly types as well.

Busy busy busy!
Party planning, and play planning, and commissioning new gowns!
But I suppose one can't complain about a schedule that's busy full of new ways to have fun!
Tomorrow another performance! And then I must catch up on my songwriting...

I have the strangest homesickness for Bonespire more than ever right now. People say that I'm a fool since it's 'uninhabitable' up there, but the Stahlben clan and plenty of other families lived in Everwinter for years and years. We, as people, adapt - and so do I - but I struggle with the City somedays more than others. Right now I must wonder if my children will ever know a properly cold winter or if they all will ever know is the City.
I might be homesick because I miss my parents. They are not here to tell me what to do with a child. I know I have many other friends who have had children and are more than willing to offer their advice, but it's not the same. I had to grow up at a hard age, but I still wish I could hug my mother one last time and tell her I'm sorry for being a shit daughter, and ask her what I'm supposed to do. I wish my father was here so that he could give me advice and meet Jules. His blessing we would not easily get but he always knew once I had my mind set to something, I did not give up.
But as we common folk say, wish in one hand, shit in the other and see which one fills first.
My spirits are lifted, however, due to the arrival of Lady Poppy Stahlben in the city! She is closest to my age of the Stahlben children. She and I spent hours making little straw dolls and mudpies, doing all kinds of things that got us into heaps of trouble. It's hard to say who was the instigator. Regardless, my friend is home, and whether or not I am a member of House Stahlben, I always say and mean that she and Lady Volcica will always be my ladies. It was nice to see them at the bonfire last night hosted by Mother Bear Drea.

I was told recently that I might of earned the respect of one who is hard to impress. Harder still hear it outloud. I wasn't aware of this until someone else informed me of the difficultly that involves.
I'm unsure of what I did to earn such praise besides being honest. Still, I enjoyed the talk. That person knows who they are.

Yes, Baron Norwood. Forgive a tired mind.
As an addendum, the Baroness Blackshore also extended an offer to assist in the endeavor. How this skipped my mind I attribute to the same fatigue responsible for the above inaccuracy. The mathematically and scientifically inclined will be as necessary to the project as loggers and drudges.
