Even the most dire of foul moods may be redirected by unexpected kindnesses and laughter shared between dear friends.

Do not think I fail to notice such gestures.

I am hoping to acquire a full set of Eurusi and Undying Empire law for the library at the new university. It's important for the lawyers and magistrates of Arvum to understand why we cling so strongly to our legal traditions.

I'll settle for a collection of the most important Cardian laws. I have no desire to build a separate library just for them, and I don't intend to teach people to practice that labyrinth of inevitable disaster. If your compilation of law occupies more than half a caravel, you need a hobby.

After a long journey, we have finally arrived in Arx. (Yay!) It is even more wondrous than I had imagined.

Relationship Note on Cecilia

It's always good to have you around, little sister. It's a shame that you're going to have to grow up soon.

We should never forget that the future is just full of possibilities. Some of them quite dark I'm sure, but many more of them bright and hopeful and bursting with promise!

I am so thrilled that all of the Lodges have been well received! Not only that, but the programs on agriculture offered by the Lodge members are second to none and as soon as Dame Leola approached me about the project I knew that it was something I wanted to see happen in Bastion. It should help our vassals and people thrive long into the future and I am so excited to see us already reaping the benefits.

Quite literally!

I have been keeping a terrible secret: I am trying to get back into shape! I mean physically.

Once upon a time I was nowhere near as soft as I seem now. It's true! After all, I did work on a farm.

Maybe it's a sign of troubled times, but I cannot help seeing Lord Richard jogging around with his hefty rubicund mace and think that perhaps I could use more strenuous activity than merely walking about the city on my daily errands.

Then there was also everyone commenting on how I looked when I went to visit Chevalle... no, no, they were only teasing. Surely. A courtier's life has not changed me that much. I think.

Went for a walk in the woods the other day. A long long walk. Just to clear my head. I missed it. I miss being where it doesn't feel so crowded and I can just run and just be...but I remember we have a job to do and my family needs me. So I come back because sometimes there are more important things.

I am getting sick of all of this heat. Seriously, how can it be this hot all the time. If I knew if it was going to be this hot, I would have waited until the fall to come back to Arx. I would have had at least one good winter to acclimate back to this weather. I would become nocturnal for the rest of the Summer, but it still amazingly hot during the night too.

After my brother's heroic actions, here's hoping he listens and will continue his trainings. Though I'm proud he killed the crab and the crab didn't catch him.

Relationship Note on Drake

I ought to follow up with Drake again... a man like that likely has need of some sort of equipment, sooner than later.

You know, it's likely rude to gloat, even in writing... but I'm really quite pleased with myself this week. I didn't meet many new people, but I was quite successful financially...

Seeing so many people I adore and have not seen in a long time at the Keaton Summer Celebration was a tonic I did not know I needed so much.

Great party you threw, by the way, Baelor. Awesome idea!

The last couple weeks have passed in a blur of emotions and nervous excitement. Gwenna and Jorah are doing well, many thanks to all who expressed their congratulations. Every time I close my eyes, though, it seems the boy wakes and has us all up A couple of times, I have fallen asleep holding him just so I could make sure Gwenna got some rest. Lack of sleep, though, is temporary, and we are all thrilled with this new addition to the Redrain family. I look forward to many upcoming playdates over the years, particularly with Jorah's Greenmarch cousins. Also, sleep. I look forward to sleep.

The celebration of the Under the Sea Ball was a good time in my opinion. A practice run as we work on educating the compact regarding Isles traditions that have little too nothing to do with the practice of Thralldom.

I do not expect to slide through these waters without scandal, but scandal is a way of life for me, a way to grow and change and become something more than I already am.

I'll listen to the criticism, and I will do so with open ears, ever seeking out new knowledge, new information.

A Duchess, a Mirrormask, and so many other things. Yet first and foremost a citizen of the Compact.

The moon is bright tonight. There is no need for a lantern. Again I am reminded of how the Gods provide for us, if we simply take the time to recognize Their gifts.

I still wonder how people stay atop their messengers without a full staff for it. Some days I can scarce move without tripping over a courier.

Hmm I wonder if many explorers have gone north to the everwinter. I would like to journey there sometime. I did enjoy that mammoth hunt last time I ventured to the northlands.

Relationship Note on Martino

What would I do without you my beloved Hawk?

You make everyday be the most endearing and entertaining.

I'm glad you did not drown in the lowers nor were you eaten by that crablamader during our little river adventure.

It's remarkable how someone can ruin a party for you without even being present.
