It's funny how beautiful these nails are. I don't even feel the glue I had to use to put them on. They're ever so much nicer than those little lye-burnt nubbins I had had thanks to all that ash hauling I had to do. I wish they could be forever, but I suppose I have the advantage of flexibility, now.

Relationship Note on Shard

My first impression of this woman, who I have come to learn is 'Prima' Shard, was that of a brutal warrior. She spoke of gruesome implements of war and hunting as if they were common day things. However, as we have continued to encounter each other she has oddly been kinder to me than people of Arx, I have encountered. Meaning no insult to the Prima, but I have glanced at her journals and have caught wind of people speak of her...

I must wonder if I am so annoying to my own people that a Prodigal that many would consider a rabble-rouser has been kinder to me in her unadulterated indifference than born citizens of the Compact?

I cannot come up with the words I want to put in the journal today. I know I'm supposed to, but I'm just lost on it. My mind today is a whirl of thoughts and feelings. I have lost a friend. I have made a potential new one. I have been a subject of fiction. My truth has been accused of lies.

I suppose it is the times we live in.

Love each other. That is all we have.

Relationship Note on Sophie

There is no more true or steadfast companion than my dear Sophie. Though she may be younger than me, she is wiser by far. She is truly blessed by the gods and I am truly blessed to call her my sister.

You'd think the nobility had never read a dirty book before.

I know some of you have. I know for a fact. Don't think I don't notice what's on your shelves when I'm waiting around for you to deign to turn up for contract negotiations.

This book of the Baron and the Rose has turned out to be a delightfully fun read indeed.
It reminds me a bit of a Baron I knew over forty years ago.

I apologize to any who may have been looking for me in recent times. After the expedition to High Hill, I chose to remain for an extended time, seeing to the health of the people there after their deeply traumatic experience. While I expect to be quite busy with matterns concerning High Hill in the future, I am reasonably certain I can attend to my other duties in Arx as well.

I missed Marquessa Cady's memorial last night! I missed a drinking contest! I would have won! And the place is covered in glitter?! What! I was off in the trees though, so I think that Marquessa would have understood and stuff! I'll drink for her tonight!

Gods and Spirits! This is the best weather! Oh! And I forgot the mention! My brother is married now! So congratulations to him! I have to homes to run back and forth from. I'm waiting on that caribou!

I should... consider a new dress! Though I might want to find a new regular customer for that.

I've had a surprisingly relaxed few days. Perhaps that's not so bad.

Relationship Note on Saoirse

Stumps managed to eat one of Saoirse's rings when he delivered a message on my behalf.

Good news! Carys found the ring!
Bad news! Carys found the ring .. if you know what I mean.

I am not sure if she would like the ring back. I mean, it doesn't smell or anything -- it was -well- cleaned -- but there is that mental hurdle of knowing where it was discovered that might make the piece less than desirable.

Sorry, friend! Again, let me say: congratulations on your wedding!

Relationship Note on Edain

**Patron Pride - His Grace, Edain Valardin**

I am entirely happy to announce that this past week I received a message from High Lord Edain Valardin in response to my posting for a Patron. After a conversation the two of us have happily entered into a partnership as Patron (him) and Protege (myself). I am looking forward to working with him in the future and I hope that I can make him proud to call me his Protege as I am proud of my own.

A personal thank you to His Grace for putting his faith in me.

Relationship Note on Cadern

**Protege Pride - Marquis Cadern Blackwood**

I would also like to note that my Protege Lord Cadern Blackwood has become the Marquis-Consort of House Blackwood. To which I wish to give him my personal congratulations. May you have many happy years and at least a dozen children!

Accomplishments that I would like to highlight beyond a good marriage match (to a wonderful and beautiful soul, Marquessa Eilonwy Blackwood to whom I also congratulate and wish well)...

Marquis Cadern is a great researcher who specializes in Nefer'khat research and is the Magistrate of the Lower Boroughs. Most importantly, however, he has been one of my closer friends since I first arrived in Arx nearly 5 years ago.

Please send Marquis Cadern and Marquessa Eilonwy your congratulations on his marriage if you have not already. They are wonderful people and I am certain they would love to hear from you even if you are a complete stranger to them.

Relationship Note on Edain

My youngest boy has told me since he was three years old that he would one day be a great knight, second only to the White Dragon of the West, who is the very best of men. You might call it childish nonsense, but I've met the High Lord of Sanctum more than once and he makes it a bit easier to believe that the dreams of children may not be such silly things after all.

Tutoring my brother when we can make the time. It's a slow process because of the lack of time, but progress is clearly being made. Cedar Vale prospers as never before, and I think we shall begin some more projects soon.
