Relationship Note on Bliss
If you have need of disposing of those dried dead mice, I can see if Fidelity might enjoy them as training treats? He enjoys freshly dead mice, but those are a little harder to keep on hand. One of my children reached into my pocket and went from surprise, to excitement to horror in rapid succession. Then I had to explain why momma was keeping dead mice in her pocket. It was a somewhat awkward conversation that resulted in some serious side eye from my child to my hunting partner.
Then again, if the mouse was dried, I might have enough time to distract the child before recognition of what it was sinks in.
Possibly.

The final month of this winter is at last here. I shall sing to the coming spring and all that is to be done when it arrives.

I have tried to write this many times over the past few months. Each time I arrived at an impasse, and could not force my quill to move forward. I don't think I was ready yet, but now I am.
Those who know me well know that I abhor violence. That I see it as a cycle that must be broken. Violence begets more violence as the survivors try to cope with the trauma and their pain and loss. My abhorrence of violence has not changed. What has is my responsibilities. There are people I am responsible for who will suffer if I do not renounce my beliefs, which I have held so close to my heart for so long, and I cannot deny them the protection they deserve for my beliefs. Nor can I allow darkness to fester and infect the places I love that have provided succor and substance in times of need.
I vow that I will never strike out of fear or anger or want of revenge. I will continue to try and do my best to not create any more suffering in this world by my hand.
I have realized, however, that sometimes one must strike out of love to prevent suffering and darkness. So I will strike out of love, but it will break my heart every single time.

Sometimes folks just aren't like you imagine they'd be. The Duchess was a real surprise, and a good one at that. Glad she came by. But I may still kick Magpie's arse over it.

Most dear sister, once more we are reunited and never again shall we allow fate to drive us apart - the well-being of our House is far too important for such vagaries.

The Duchess and my sister are really company like none other, and spending time with them helps dull the ache that comes from being parted from Setarco. The weather is ugly, but not insurmountably uncomfortable. However, the city reeks of dog. I am uncertain what one does about that.

This week I have felt entirely ill. It was not fun at all. However, today I am feeling better. Better enough to get out and about once more, at least, and hopefully stop everyone in the house from fussing over me.
I'm fine.

As I get older, I find better comfort in the war room than on the front lines. I understand both intricately. I still enjoy the rush of battle. But risking my life has become less and less viable over the recent years.
Maybe I should be thankful that there aren't any immediate wars to be attending on a battlefield. There's something nostalgic when I think about it though. The anticipation and the passion of two sides colliding.
Sometimes when I think of leading the Compact against the Gyre, I feel that same sensation. Like a distant sensation that I just can't grasp fully. An inkling. Embers.
I need a hobby.

I have just remembered that I have a box of dried, dead mice in my room for a project which never saw the light of day.
It has not been opened in almost a year.
I feel like this is somehow your fault. Personal responsibility is for the birds.

It's been a busier week that I've had since coming onto dry land. I guess its worse because everything still seems frozen and miserable out too, but I still find time to accidentally step on toes. Figuratively. I wasn't so drunk as to just literally walk on someones feet.
But if its going to be dark all the time I think the day that happens is coming soon.

I recently visited the Ivy Covered Watchtower by Seawatch Gate for a gathering of people who loved books. It was hosted by Princess Reese Grayson, who handed out copies of books on a great variety of subjects. Reading them has made me laugh or think or suffer; they're interesting, and they are another way the Crownlands General in these times of darkness yet remains a light.
It is one of the great honors of my life to write and play for Lady Azolla Nightgold. It's moving every time I hear her sing.

Relationship Note on Reese
I had occasion to attend the Princess Reese's book party. I must admit, it was more than worth hauling myself out from the Kay for: she had bookshelf after bookshelf of useful tomes, which she was handing out for free. I'm sure this will keep me busy for at least a couple of weeks while I go through them. Some of them reference points of history I'm aware of, providing another perspective to an event, and some are wholly new to me, yet both are equally welcome in wealth.
I look forward to seeing the Princess Reese's library. From all accounts it's very extensive and well worth the visit.

I find myself struggling for something to say, something to write.
Some thought to allow me to put pen to paper.
Alas, I have come up empty.
... Must be a joke there, but I'm too tired to figure it out.

My brother, Lyonis, writes all the time. Even in the gardens. He's always been so frail and... Well, bookish. I love books. He makes it na obsession. I do wonder what I will learn from him next, though. Perhaps he will find a book to stop a war or bring back the dead. That wouldd be something, certainly.
