Eadwacer is delighted spring has come. It means more wasted food for him to find in the trash.
It also means more cats, but kittens are easily corrupted. It is their mothers that we must be wary of.

And... I am now officially _in_ my thirties, rather than merely hovering upon the brink at thirty. I've yet to slow down enough to really contemplate this, but I shall, at least, note it here for future study.

Relationship Note on Nurie
I really must let you all know that Nurie Baseborn's work in creating adorable plush creatures is entirely excellent. Fun for the whole family, particularly when the boys start squabbling over whose dragon it is really (I'm beginning to think, from the number of times I have caused it to be placed upon a high shelf, that it might actually be mine).

Of all the jobs I've ever had, negotiating for better deals has -by far- been one of my most rewarding skills. When I wrote letters for others, it felt staged. Being able to get my clients the very best deals money can buy is so fulfilling. To top it off, it allows me to bestow little gifts to others. I do love to give gifts.

I am so proud and full of gratitude to those who recently assisted in a recruitment endeavor for House Redrain. Assisted isn't a strong enough word, really, as everyone involved so selflessly lent their skills and passions to our War Chief's project as though it were their own. I am humbled by the generosity of House Thrax and many an ale will be raised to cheer High Lord Victus Thrax, Prince of Maelstrom. Duchess Fianna Crovane, Lord Rysen Crovane, and Countess Aella Ravenseye were instrumental from the Northlands and, without doubt, inspired no few with their talents and fierce spirits. Getting to work alongside House Kennex once again was something I was personally glad for and, as always, Lord Wash and Duke Aethan make such difficult doings look easy. How wonderful it was to get to work again with Duke Aethan, especially, on our first collaboration since his elevation.
None of this would have been possible without Princess Marian. I thank the Gods and Spirits each day that she is a leader in House Redrain. Her grasp of military matters and her willingness to work with those who will help us achieve what we need is a comfort and relief I can't truly explain. I sleep better at night knowing she is at the helm (no pun intended). It is because of people such as those listed here that I continue to feel hope, no matter the shadows that might darken our doorstep.

Today, it was my great honor to swear holy vows before the Gods and the Paragon, Dame Alexis Wyrmfang, and join the Gold Order of the Dragon as a knight.
I hope one day to bring its guiding light to Brassfall March for an order of our own; some others of the Hundred Cities might scoff at such a thing, but I have the proud example of Tor's Knights of Roses before me, and I know in my heart this is the right thing to do.
I will serve with pride.

I still turn and call her name out.
I should know better. A tool too far away and cannot leave the bench, she was always within earshot. Marcen has left for Lenosia with her. He's taking her by boat now that spring has come and the waters will be safer. Would that I had the strength of heart and will to go on one of those accursed things, I would go with him. But if I left, I don't know that I would return right now.
But Laurel is there when I call out and she is learning to anticipate what I need. What tool for when and what my tones indicate.
I haven't talked to the stones since she died. They talk to me and I have listened. But I haven't replied. I don't know why. They try to cheer me up. Working with dragonweep has been easier, even if there is far less of it to work for and I found myself rummaging around for the weeping gems in the burying bucket so I could try and make them happy and console them.
So that is it. Marcen goes back to his family. He'll always be a son to me, but I understand that he needs to go home to his. At least he'll be with her. I'll go to Lenosia soon enough. At some point. Maybe. The weather needs to be nicer before I go though.

Relationship Note on Sydney
Sometimes you make a connection, and it feels like you've known someone for all of your life.
Messere Sydney and I get along. She has a sense of humour I can appreciate. She has a sense of -life- I can appreciate. She has a skillset that draws her in bold, dashing lines. And I can appreciate that. Maybe I'll ask to paint her?
"But Anisha Whisper," you might ask. "What could you possibly have in common with a Brawler from the Lowers?"
And to that, I would offer you a wink and a smile and a distraction.

I accompanied a group to the Oathlands to enter into a cave system to look for a... well, some very old man called Godrin, once a friend of Alar? Alor?
What happened was baffling to say the least, and the braveness of the team not to be understated. Something foul was happening there, but it has ended.
I got a new weapon! A war-pick!
I need a suitable name for it.

The waves are calling, and I can deny them no more.
I need some time to myself, to remember the truth of who and what I am, and to remember the meaning of freedom.
My sister and her heir live on; I was only ever the spare, and I have been feeling that more of late. Perhaps when I return it'll be in a better frame of mind.
Fare well, Arx, until we see each other once more.

I have taken ill before.
After the battle with the Reaper, I was in bed for days recovering, though the injuries brought were of a very different stripe.
As a child, I gained the usual cuts, scrapes, bruises.
I have never before, in point of fact, found myself injured quite like this. I am, even, sending this off with Chessa to be filed because I cannot make the walk myself. How terrible is that? I am laid up by the fire, my leg bandaged, because if I move too much it begins to bleed anew. I'll have a scar, I just know it.
And all because of some damned rodents.
...they were awful big rodents, though, I must say.

Brother Felix is truly one of the most amazing smiths I have ever had the pleasure of knowing! Not only is he a kind and thoughtful person in general, but the hairpin he has made for the basket raffle is a true work of art. It shows the building phases of Arx from a time before the city was created until the present day, with Copper's clocktower as a centerpiece with movable arms for the time! It's a masterpiece and I am so honored to be able to offer such craftmanship as one of the prizes for the basket raffle!

I record here, as is our way, the completion of The Black Temple at Stonehearth. The temple itself had been completed for some time of course, but we've finished now what amounts to a small settlement around it now that we've completed some other projects and fought some wars... there were to be no further delays.
The Black Temple is, to my knowledge, the largest place of worship for The Thirteenth, but it is now supported with a hospital that specializes in diseases and influences of the abyssal sort. There is plenty of living space now for the clergy as well, and I've no doubt we shall see regular ships between Stonehearth and Arx now, filled with those who wish to wander the gardens of exotic flowers, herbs, and other plants. The apothecaries shall surely be busy here as well!
