My Sally girl,
I was walking down them streets in the Lowers. I found this fella who was high as a kite. Must notta been a good high cuz he was all screamin and jabberin' like a he was crazed. Now, I ain't never had no experiences like that but I had my share of stupid moments in my cups. So I go to him and sit down next to him when he started hittin' hisself. I wrapped my mitts around him and hugged him tight for I dunno how long until he stopped.
Made me think of you. That time I got sick with the fever somethin' fierce and I was shakin' and the jibba jabba that was comin' out of my yapper ain't no pretty thing. You just got there with me and rocked me through it. You just held me close until my fever broke and then you cared for me until I was better.
This got me sad. When I heard you was dead they said you got taken by a fever. And I wasn't there to hold you none. I weren't there to make sure you knew you was loved through it.
All I can do is love others like you love me.
I miss you so and I'm sorry I weren't there for you at the last of it. Makes my heart feel like a million stones.
Yours forever,
Gunther

We were successful in stopping the siege upon the College of Agriculture. I am thankful that so many showed up to assist in stopping it. And wish to thank each and every one of them for doing so. Amari was grievously hurt during the battle, I was concerned when I had found her on the field. But I know that between Lady Olivia and Lord Rysen's assistance she will heal.

Relationship Note on Luca
I once had a dream. I stood before a painting that took up the whole wall before me. An idyllic scene, a wooded lake shore on a sunny day. Leaves drenched in sunlight, offering dappled shade to the ground below, a stretch of water, shimmering silver like fish scales in the sun. I held up my hand, fingers spread to touch the surface of the painting, and my hand brushed, not dried paint on canvas, but the warmth of sunlight, a tickle of a breeze. My hand did not go through the painting, but rather into it. I stepped over the frame and into the world. And as if I were traveling between the layers of oil and cloth, of air, earth and water, my eyes opened to all that was around me, the motion captured in a moment. The drone of a fly buzzing, the swish of a bird's wing, the leap of a fish breaking the surface of the lake. Life teeming around me. My skin was warmed by the sun, light kissing every inch of me, and I felt a slowness creep over me; not sinister, but languid. As if in that moment I had all the time in the world. I had choice and agency. I had wisdom and the space necessary to wield it. I could experience the peace of the world within that painting and see all that lay under the surface, churning motion, so many small details that I should be overwhelmed. Yet each had its moment, each was seen and understood. It is impossible, I think, to fully put to word the feeling of it all. Change, motion, multitudes below. Stillness, peace, contentment on the surface. Experiencing both in the same moment.
To me, that was Luca.
Travel well my friend. May you find your sunbeam.

Relationship Note on Luca
Too late.
We waited too late to share that bottle of whiskey and you tell me stories about my late husband.
The grief was too sharp, the pain was too raw when you made the offer and then you got busy.
And I got busy and between the two of us time just slipped away.
But I remembered. I'm sitting here drinking part of that bottle set aside for that talk that had resolved to have soon, remembering you fondly but it is too late.
Too late.
You'll be missed, Luca, and your tales have passed with you.

I did not know the Prince and the circumstances of his death are odd to say the least but it is clear the man made a lasting impact on so many and is remembered well.
One can only hope to be as well remembered as him.

You were my only Champion. Even though you lost, you were my only Champion in and out of the arena.
You paid well.
You were the worst, most unsubtle flirt ever.
You had no respect for the property of others.
You gave wonderful hugs.
Here's to you, Prince.

It was a pleasure to catch up with Admiral Armani again. I know of her skill at sea after the naval training exercise and it's good to know she's as sharp off of the seas as she is on them.

Brady might have won the event, but I got the crown. Therefore, that makes me:

I promise that my rein will be fair, just and very, very delightful.

Relationship Note on Luca
I found Luca difficult to know. Elusive. But I admired him. And I missed him after we had a falling out. Or, rather, after I fell out with him. I think he may not have noticed. What he taught me in the sparring ring has saved my life on many occasions. And while I still don't think the prank was funny, I am sad that he'll never pull another one. Or take in another cat. Or crash a Grayson dinner wearing only Elvesbane and a slapdash but smartly matching bathrobe. He was one of a kind and I don't think we'll see his like again until he's napped along every spoke of the Wheel and, finding himself peckish, wanders back to Arvum for a bite to eat.

I spent a little time watching part of the Muddy City Run that the People of Arx held. It was nice to venture out and see the fun that they were all having. I enjoyed a really good pastry and a drink, while I cheered on the competitors.
I do hope they all had as much fun as it seemed they were having. I know I enjoyed my little bit of time spent cheering.

You can come live with me! It's only one floor. I think you'd like the garden too. The tree by the pond is so pretty right now with all the turning leaves. You'd have to tolerate /me/, though! I'm pretty quiet. Sometimes... Ok, rarely.

I had a fine, quiet birthday that I celebrated with my family. It went without much notice and little fuss. However Eadric did yank the tablecloth off in an attempt to show us a magic trick and knock all the dishware onto the floor in the process, but I suppose no evening can be perfect.

It's a very strange feeling, the pain of grief for one of your dearest friends, knowing that he died as he lived, facing challenges head on.
I am not okay.
I am too young for follies, and probably always will be, but it's terrible to find out the way I found out, and my heart just has a hole in it. I feel right now that I may never dance again, although I know that isn't true. There's something in my soul that reacts to music, after all, and I know I'll dance again, thinking of my dear friend the whole time.
