Relationship Note on Theophania
Is it odd that I take to her, as soon as she comes into my life?
What seems like providence must be guidance by the hand of the Gods. Set upon my own path that I walk with a smile, I see her, lost and confused, needful, and my heart soars when I can place her upon a path to honor and prosperity.
A way with animals betrays a heart of rare quality.

It is heartening to return to the city and see both my family of blood and faith in such liveliness! But still, I am humbled by the sheer scope of the world here, the staggering pace of motion, the uncertainty of every soul I see.
Perhaps with time I will gain a more steady footing on what must be done. With time I will find the same surety of purpose among these people as I did among the Oathlands.

Soon I will be home. Soon I will see Stormheart again and welcome people from the Compact into my world. It is an amazing feeling to have people you may call for assistance when you need it. My people's lives will be all the better for the alliances we've made since bending the knee. We must always move forward.

So many dreams already about flying, and only now I wake with birdsong in my head.
Well. If you call that birdsong.

When I left Arx, I was little more than a girl, and had seen nothing of the world. I'd just taken my vows as a godsworn sister and had accepted a post at a seraphy in the Oathlands, to work and learn under the more experienced clergy there. The city I knew was one seen through a child's eyes, and I struggle to recognize it now. The faces all seem changed, the buildings and streets both smaller and more complex. So much of what I knew as a girl is gone, replaced or covered over by progress or simply change. And I can scarce remember that little girl that I was, as I look upon my own reflection. Everything is reoriented. I am dizzy for it. But I seek a path forward and a place here that shall allow me to grow and flourish, as Lagoma would wish.

Is it good or bad that I am finally starting to *understand* how to guide a domain towards prosperity? Or, at least, to guide the specific one with which Trogen and I were entrusted - I should not presume to claim any breadth of competence, especially when I still feel that I am just finding my feet! Certainly, one should understand one's responsibilities... yet I cannot help but feel guilt that it has taken me so long to become a better steward for my people and their land. Still, I can warmly recommend the formal study of agriculture, husbandry, economic theory, and the practices of stewarding a domain: they truly can yield fruitful results. And I gladly note that Dame Leola Allenatore of the Lodge of Petrichor has been of invaluable aid in my efforts to better myself in this regard.

Relationship Note on Eirene
Sparring with Eirene was an honour. More so when she allowed me to assist her with improvements to her sword technique. I never thought I would be instructing the likes of her in swordplay, indeed several years ago I could not see myself teaching anyone with success.
Times change and I find new ways to serve Malvici and the Compact.

Relationship Note on Juliet
I see journals written by someone who's name is painfully close to yours, and it makes my heart hurt a little.
I'm sorry things ended as ugly as they did.
I never did get my necklace back from you either.

I finally drag my ass back to Arx and then my family wants a dinner back home in Southport.
Now I get to go BACK to Southport, have dinner, then sail BACK to Arx. I don't mind boats, I just hate taking two four-year-olds on a sea voyage...

Relationship Note on Turo
I'd have to think that standing on one of those ships for its first voyage is the only thing better than seeing them launched.
It's been far too long since I sailed somewhere.

Is there anything more beautiful and uplifting.
I can think of a rare few, but not many.

The world is a very dark place but people can make it so much brighter. I must do my part to make the world a better place. Sometimes that is by looking fabulous and other times it's providing people's needs. I'm fortunate to be in a place to help the needy. I have not forgotten you Baby Weegs.

I have heard about town that some are jealous of the success of the Grayhopes, bringing a caravel into our House.
That is fair enough. We /have/ achieved heights that even many noble houses have not.
But look at it this way: The Grayhopes have long been known as Arx's premier marine logistics provider. It would be damaging to our reputation to NOT have a caravel to meet our clients' needs.
So don't hate us; hire us.
Messengers always welcome.

I haven't written for quite some time, a fact that seemed slightly strange when I came to the realization. Between being ill and otherwise engaged in my personal endeavors, there's been a surprising amount of calm. I wouldn't go as far as to say it was peaceful, but it was a period of relative quiet all the same, aside from the illness.
I've volunteered to assist a project of Lady Laurent's, one which I would very much like to see succeed. The more stability and security that can be brought to the Great Road, the better, and this project would hopefully do both, given enough time and backing by the peers. Still, with any road that one walks, it requires steps to be taken; one cannot finish the journey without taking them. First one, then more, and eventually one arrives. While I can't see the destination for this particular path, I intend to make sure it is a /safe/ one.

The wedding wrecked me more than I thought it would.
I wore pink because it'd be funny. Savor it while it lasted and too bad to those that missed it!
That isn't why it wrecked me. Just rubbed me raw that it was what I wanted, but was only used to insult me. I want to be over it, but my pride is still hurt. I don't still love one that is that dishonorable and hurtful to one supposedly loved. Still, my pride. The things I want should not hurt.
It wasn't fun until I got to dunk my sister in the pool of wine. Can you believe there was no rum? Who does that?!
Also, I was reminded of the Princess gig. I dread that. I do not want any bit of it. It'll ruin my reputation. Being Lady is bad enough. I chose the Wanton, not a dress. I'm Wanton, not Princess.

I would like to thank several people for helping with the Roseward's enduring little problem. They all displayed level heads and amazing competence in a dangerous and horrific situation. Marquessa Quenia Igniseri, Lady Eirene Malvici, and Lord Mirk Halfshav. The Marquessa of the Roseward and I would like to express our most sincere gratitude.
