Redrain has some of the best Shamans and healers! I know, because they were quick to my aide when I needed thorns and things extracted from my arm!
I hear there's bets on how long I'll follow instructions and stay out trees and things. RUDE!

I have been asked to bring a vial of water to the renewal ceremony hosted by Legate Ailith. I requested two, one for the Lyceum and one for the personal waters that are found in my favorite place. We grow, we change, but like water sometimes there are things that remain constant.

It is my honour to have ships and sailors from Saik join the Malvici fleet as we prepare to set sail for Sungreet. The Saik's have proved their worth in the past and now I hope that I can justify Baroness Lucita's faith in me.

Well one doesn't always get asked to 'stay for a moment' from the Master of Questions. Never a comfortable conversation but I suppose it could have been far worse. I suppose I see his point though it really does seem unavoidable. Certainly food for future thought on how to ask questions in the house of questions without getting caught in leaving out part of the story. Still there are far worse ways to answer a few questions there.

How does someone start a letter accusing someone of being an idiot and then write something like "In some ways, this talk of war, the fighting, it only makes us as bad as them." and not just explode from the cognitive dissonance?

I've now two Thorns! I should seek out others who hold them and try to get more. So far it's been rather enjoyable.
I also need to find out more about Jadairal. So far I know they have very large, very interesting rats.

My cousin, the Duchess, writes that it is sometimes quite difficult to comprehend meanings when words are merely written.
I can attest to this truth, particularly with a recent slew of missives; but what I have learned most is this:
It is so much easier to remove oneself emotionally from another - for better or for worse - when one is at a distance to them. No line of sight means one is content with their own world, with their own perceptions of it. The lack of immediate responses means that one may prattle on to oneself with but the idea of another's attentive ear.
The effect is much like weapons practice: While one might find oneself a master marksman while practicing strikes against a training dummy, those same strikes - when brandished against an opponent - may quite easily be knocked away. Simultaneously, one's vulnerabilities can not easily be learned if one fights only with an immovable, inanimate object.
Such is how, I find, an argument to be while hashing out a point with another via missive.
And, I shall wrest from my mind the inclination to do so again, for I've seen more than once such one-sided 'conversations' - penned even by my own hand - devolve into disaster that might be otherwise be avoided with but time spent in true, face-to-face conversation.
Gods know I have become inclined to even sorting out my own mind best when faced with my own expression, with my own eyes in a mirrored surface; how much more dire is it to watch those expressions, to gather all the information one might hear from those whose minds are not so easily accessible as our very own?

Do I have my own opinions? Absolutely. Just ask anyone in my family. Do I vocalize them all the time publicly? No.But if you ever wanted to know how I felt about something, just ask. I'll tell you.
Lately I feel that the whites are turning into disputes that should be settled and or answered in a more private matter.
But then again, that's only my opinion.

I just realised that it's now more than a year since Joscelin and the kids left Arx. Thinking about it doesn't feel as bad any longer, and I know she is happy where she is, but I do miss her and the kids.
So, here's to you, Josie. I'm still alive. Thanks for the socks.

I should always remember that if I ever need anything, I need to just stand in the hallways of the Kay and start demanding to know if anyone can help me. Everyone here is very smart, it's hard to keep track of their accomplishments. I'm going to start making lists, then maybe one of these days, I won't forget.
Or I suppose I could start drinking less and that might help with my memory. But honestly with everything going on, I feel like that's just a step too far.

I wonder about Marquis-Consort Rymarr Deepwood sometimes. Did he ever get his survival training? Or did he find out the hard way that every mushroom is edible at least once?
I suppose I'd have heard about his death due to mushroom misconsumption if that were the case.

I watched a man die today. It was awful. When you try so hard to save someone and it just doesnt work, it's like all your efforts were wasted. My heart hurts for him, that village. Too many losses this week. As that includes the Halfshavs as well. I think I'll go curl up with Aella and bug Cadern, just because...
