Thank you to those who have bought the poetry collection from the Festival of Death poetry reading! The donations have all been made to the Harlequins in their honor as well, and the Harlequins will continue to do their amazing work and ministry thanks to your patronage.
There are still copies for anyone interested. Send a messenger with your donation and you will receive a copy of the anthology.
Once again, I want to thank the Harlequins and especially Second First Harlequin Evaristo Arterius for his vision of this festival. It has been enlightening and I hope each event helps people to see the good that the Queen of Endings plays in our lives.

There are not many things I understand about the matters at the market, but if you are unable to turn a profit doing work where you are simply serving as a middleman, I have to wonder what is you are doing wrong. It seems simple: increase your cut?
But I suppose I will continue to put my goods on sale directly instead.

It was suggested to me that I simply get another staff or cane to assist my walking.
This is missing the point as I -like- my old staff and am very comfortable with it. It was perfectly formed for it's purpose.
Perhaps it's disappearance is the start of a plot to leave me defenceless. I shall remsin vigilant!

Diplomacy is not my strong suit, so my wife keeps telling me and she is never wrong. I like sailing, and I have learned a few tricks about staying alive at sea. I didn't come from the salt, but it has adopted me. If you feel like there is a hole in their spirit that cannot be filled, perhaps that is the sea calling to you. This is an open invitation to any who want to learn to sail, or more about the sea. My ship is the Bounty of Cirella. She has a Crownsworn crew. If anyone wants to learn to sail, you're welcome aboard my vessel.

I've been readmitted into the scholars. An Archlector has taken me on as a protege.
I only wish I knew what I have done to please the Gods so.

Who would /do/ such a thing, Archlector? I am troubled by this news!
Would you like to have one of my bows while I investigate this theft? It's not /quite/ the same as your staff, but it will make a superb substitute whenever you need to correct mistakes. I've plenty for you to choose from! Some even have ribbons on them.

I can not express how lovely I think the continued conversation regarding flowers has been, and how much I have enjoyed hearing and reading of people's decisions for what flower they believe they are. How one small thing could lead to such discussions and debates and interest. Flowers are so much more than pretty, delicate things. They are so much more.

I think I have enough energy to go to the wedding reception this evening. But if this baby doesn't come soon, I may go crazy. Crazier. More crazy? One of those at any rate.

There are so many hidden treasures in Arx, places where you can find joy, but I long for the road. I long to travel again, to sleep with my back against a tree, to defend those in need, to eat stale bread and laugh with my fellow knights. Hopefully I am granted another mission soon, because this energy I have must go somewhere.

Jeffeth is truly a wonder. Not only could he best me any day on the field, he also has offered me a place to live. The bungalow behind his house needed some /serious/ remodeling, with all the pieces of broken statues and macabre imagery scattered about, but I think it will be a charming home. Added bonus: I can maybe glean a few extra tips and tricks from Jeffeth while in close proximity. One day I'll be able to take down the giant!

Sometimes I wonder at my own state of mind. Did I willingly walk into a room knowing that a truth serum would be on the menu? Yes. Did I consume it, even after having seen the effects on another? Yes. Did some of the hidden chambers of my mind find a very audible voice? Yes.
Perhaps next time I have the opportunity to attend such, I will stay in and read a book instead? No. Probably not.

The search for a patron is an interesting one. I've met many interesting nobles, who have offered a variety of things. There's still some more potential patrons to meet, and this I dread.
The choice is already difficult enough, more options will not make it easier. And yet, I must give them a fair chance.

I don't often see very much of you, in me, though I suppose all of us have inherited your beautiful dark hair, and there's more than a little of your stamp in each one of us, here and there. But of late sometimes I catch it, sidelong in the mirror. And I feel it too, in the dark of the night when all is quiet except for the sound of slumber and the thump of a heartbeat. Should I be proud? Worried? I used to dress up in your things when I thought no one was looking, until I was caught and punished. Sometimes when I watched you prepare for he evening, to do your duty at a banquet or ball with your husband on your arm or to leave for more private affairs to meet with the assignation of choice, you would laugh and powder my nose or let me pick out your perfume of the evening, which always let me have one very precious dab at my wrists. If I ran away very quickly after it was done, I could press mine to Sabine's, so that we could share it. I loved you so much, but it was always from afar, without understanding. You were always a pattern that eluded me, that no matter how I tried, I couldn't understand how anything fit together, though I wanted to. So that I could mend just a little part of it. Selfishly, I think, as if I could remake you into someone who could love us in a different way.
But I caught a glimpse of you only recently, and it stole my breath and broke my heart just a very little bit. I wonder if you would be proud of me. Or if you would just shrug and give that small smile, and turn back towards your mirror. The latter I think. But I love you still. And them. Them most of all. And the one to come.
