One down, two to go. Darion handled himself very well. I'm thinking about setting up a mock office for him. He might be four years old, but he will lead this house one day.

Relationship Note on Declan
Lord of Stone and Ice. Winter's chill is balmy in your presence. It is but a boon the cold never bothered me. He is the epitome of the staunch, stalwart men from the Mourning Isles and I was genuinely surprised by his invigorating company.

Relationship Note on Thea
My lady is exceptional in all she does. I have enjoyed her company every time and always look forward to the next time we meet. It is only a shame I did not get to meet her when I first met her brother so many years ago.
P.S. Do not tell Martino, but she is my favorite Malvici sibling.

Relationship Note on Martino
It is official! One of my oldest and dearest friends will be a married man very soon! He has come such a long way from when we first met and I could not be happier for him. I am doubly impressed he was able to win over the lovely Lady Kaia without the help of a professional writer *ahem* Not that he ever needed someone to write love letters for him. I wouldn't know of such things.

I did a thing! I made a notification in search of a potential protege. It sounds odd for some, but I am of the belief that there could be someone out there who seeks a patronage relationship with someone like me.
As a Whisper, part of my experiences involves providing exceptional Courtier services. Perhaps there is someone who has recently come of age who seeks to learn what it takes to be not just a Courtier, but a Whisper! I was trained at the esteems Courtier Academy in the Silken City of Setarco and spent many years after completing my education traveling all over Arvum.
Perhaps there is someone who seeks to expand their circle of friends and acquaintances. Or perhaps yet, there is someone out there who seeks this sort of partnership because we are both so different, we can provide balance to one another's life. I am excited to se where this prospect goes.

Relationship Note on Tyrus
My patron is most benevolent and it is truly an honor to work alongside him. Together we have been able to move and allocate funds and resources for his various projects and charitable works. I am forever grateful for his hands on instructional approach to navigating these unchartered waters. He has been quite instrumental in my life thus far. I hope to be able to give back all he has bestowed upon me.

The Altar dedication for Vellichor was very inspiring. The altar and the canticle are breathtaking, and the gifts left by everyone were so thoughtful. I was impressed with how generous all of the folks of Arx are.

As a knight, my sword is for honor and protection. I seek to defend those in need and to uphold my sacred vows to the Faith. Each day I strive to do this, I realize I can always do more. I need to do more.

Ok. So.
I need to plan a party. Or something.
I am trying not to panic!
It is important not to panic!!!
Oh look. Three exclamation points.

I was convinced by Maxene to leave my rooms and seek some time in the atrium since the sun was shining. A promise there would be no others there. She had set a tea there, and a small cake from the cooks. Little Eleyna there too. Maxene didn't want me to pass my birthday in my room with the dark and Maxene knows the delight that little Eleyna brings me. It hurt, in many ways, but I had forgotten how much I enjoy the scent of her hair after she has been bathed and falls sleep against me.
When I returned to the room there were flowers everywhere. Across the corners of the room, atop the wardrobe, the desks, everywhere, curtains pulled back and light spilling in. A bouquet of lilies resting on my pillow and a note. She knew. She had sent those dresses and jewelry to ensure her things found good homes, I would not put it past her to have planned this too.
I wept. I will confess it here, but then, I have been doing much of that of late. I had thought it was Victus, that someone had been teaching him how to be a more romantic husband. But he wouldn't have chosen those flowers. Would that when my time comes, I will have planned such ahead for Victus. Or my children.
It smells like roses, peonies, lilies and orchids instead of salves and grotesque tinctures and teas. I'll have them placed about the estate, for all to share but I am in awe and my heart breaks. I miss her. So dearly. I miss many so dearly.
She would drag me out by my ear, I know this. She was so much stronger than I.

The Most Magnificent Beards and Brews
It has been a while since one of these has been hosted impart because of the scale of this one. Not merely an isolated night with a little warning this will be a celebration to fill the Spirits and the street beyond. Free drinks for the night, food for the masses and participants.
The rules are simple. If you have a beard manly or feminine, real or fake you will be judged the same by myself, my protege Baroness Acantha Clearlake and my other protege Baroness-Consort Violet Farwatch. The categories for the contest are Best Beard, Best Styled Beard, and Best Decorated Beard.
For those of a less beardy persuasion, the Softest Whisper and Nightingale Gianna Whisper will be performing a song at the event. All questions can be directed to myself via messenger.

I attended the Sip n Spar last night. It was so fun watching everyone's different styles! I had forgotten I got myself a dagger the last time I was here. Made me realize I should probably learn how to use it, even though I know I prefer the feel of my bow.

I awoke this morning to an surprise delivery from a friend. A warm looking cloak with--A unicorn. After asking a few questions (Because why wouldn't I, it had a horn on it), I did accept because it really is beautiful, I thanked him. Now to find him that mountain....And thank you him properly.

I first met Esme Fidante when I went to the Shrine of Limerance to get some guidance on an issue I was having with my feelings for someone. What I found was a warm and open soul that was very willing to listen, gave me great advice and became someone I felt I could trust.
In the time I have spent with her since I have found so much more. A friend, a confidant, someone I can talk to openly and freely and she challenges me. She gives me time to think, she presents things to me from a different angle. I never expected I would ever find someone like her as part of my life. She reminds me that there can be something that is just wholesome. Someone that doesn't demand of you. She just asks, and I want to give.
(Except maybe the apology gifts, we need to talk on that. If I have to give her an apology gift for every misstep, Darren's gonna need to raise my allowance.)
I never thought a Rose from Tor would take root and blossom, but she has. And I appreciate everything she has given me.

A conversation the other day with someone that went along the lines of 'Oh, there's this dangerous thing, and then this other dangerous thing, and then this OTHER dangerous thing...' has got me thinking that perhaps what I need as a supplement is some endeavor completely and entirely safe.
But I cannot think of a thing.

I have not been back long and much of my attention has been taken up with finalizing things at the new manor in the Westrock Commons. I really never thought I would ever write words such as those. It's a little strange, but there it is, and the place is slowly coming together. Next year the orange tree planted out front should begin to bear fruit as well. Third reminds me, I must speak with Felicity about another stained glass piece.
Last evening I managed to be social finally instead of taking care of business. I went to the Sip and Spar at the Golden Hart which I have not done in ages. I arrived just after Lady Zoey had won an archery contest. Which tickled me to no end. There is nothing more gratifying, to me as a teacher, than to see a student excelling. Everyone was amenable to another round of archery and I am even more happy that Lady Zoey beat me. Even if my social interaction was cut short by a messenger, I am glad I went. If only for that.
