While I'm going to miss winter, spring is here! The sun on my skin, the woods look entirely different! Everything is reborn!

Esoka
I knew the girl all her life; her grand-father were a second father to me. Most of what I know he taught me; most of what I've learned he tried.
We fought together at some of the worst of times, from the walls of Arx to the beaches at Stormwall.
I lead her far as I could, until she found she'd another path to follow.
Until we meet again, on the solid earth, or past the end of all rivers.

Being a scary person is a great way to get what you want without having to lift a finger. It is all a matter of presence and the attitude that you are going to stand fast. The vast majority of people do not like confrontation and thus will back down. Be intimidating, save lives.

It is always nice to be out at sea, but it is always nicer to be home. I've been back home for a few days now and I had the opportunity to meet a few new faces and enjoy drink with new people. I am hoping that I will not have to go back out anytime soon.

I was reading the wonderful 'Language of Flowers' and how one can use flowers as coded messages. I got to thinking that it would be beneficial to study under a perfumer and learn how to incorporate the two -- to choose scents based on this secret, floral language.
With any luck, I will be able to find someone to instruct me.

Martino is home! Thank the Gods! I mean, I feel like he is far better at representing family at the..balls and things. I tried, I swear. He should be proud.

Spring is here. I missed the sun on my skin, I wont lie about that. It is also closer to welcoming Lady Kaia to our family.

Traveling makes one weary but I've returned just in the nick of time. It's Spring in Arx! I can shed those heavy cloaks and furs and finally take out the dresses I've longed to wear. This also means I'm going to need a couple of new gowns just because. And since Summer is just around the bend, I will have to commission some styles for the hotter weather in preparation.

And now it is spring, and time for the land to green again, with the joy of life. It is a refreshing season, full of promise and hope.

Missed the balls all this week due to feeling a bit poorly. I expect there will be others to attend, and many lovely dresses to wear.
Meantime, I am slowly extending and deepening my friendships. I do enjoy building relationships.

They brought the dawn. It cost them everything, and they went to do so because I asked. Because of my words, and their beliefs. We all knew the risks. We all believed them worth it.
May I be honored to know you once more in the turning of the wheel.

It's a shame to see the last snow of winter begin to melt. Spring is a special time, one that brings hope and renewal, but winter has always reminded me of home.
There's an austere beauty in a pristine layer of white snow on the ground. There's something about the bitter cold in the air. Sure, it's uncomfortable, but it forces you to attend to your surroundings. Whether it's to keep your hood high or to hurry to your destination, it keeps you in the moment, when all too often we walk through life but lost in our thoughts, preoccupied with the many concerns that Arx places before us.
Or maybe that's just me.
Either way.
Spring will bring fresh sights, and fresh challenges. But I wouldn't have minded if the snow stuck around a little longer.

Ah, Spring. Thank Lagoma that the seasons eventually change.
Of course this does mean that damnable summer is coming up behind it.

As of late I have been thinking of what more I can offer the Compact to improve the lots of those who live in it.
I am very well versed and experienced in a few areas but feel that perhaps I can learn better techniques on how to properly pass along what I know to others.

It is still brisk outside but it is now far easier and pleasant for walks as well as meaning that training sessions do not need to be as weather dependant as practising in the snow is necessary but something I would rather not have to do.

Ida
Rarely am I humbled. One might argue that it has, in fact, never actually happened before. But on this day, I am humbled out of gratitude for the sheer magnitude of this favor that Dame Ida Ferron has shown me.
The Sweetest Whisper, my perfectly balanced alaricite dagger.
The third alaricite weapon of her creation, and I will stoutly argue, the best, no matter who dares challenge such assertions. The story of this blade is etched in every single perfect line, inspired by bright stars in the darkest night, by love and betrayal, by my very essence.
It is awe-inspiring, like the woman who made it.

Spring is when armies march again. That never used to worry me much. Now it's all I can think about as I watch the snows slip away.

I toured Leary navy today.
We are a landlocked city so I do not understand why we even have a navy. But I'm its Admiral, so. SHIP SHAPE. That's Admiral lingo.

I am admittedly irked. I'll check out Lady Skye's event to see how she managed to invent twinkling lights before I did, but how frustrating it is to work so hard at a thing only to be bested! ...No, Elloise, that is not the mentality of a good scientist. I keep telling myself: collaborate! But some times... it's easier to be bitter and sour.

I am in awe of those who would free enslaved men and women. And proud of House Pravus for joining themselves with Grimhall to do so.
