It's ever impressive to watch a Thraxian princess attack a threat with her shoe. It was a valiant approach by that heel.

Relationship Note on Gianna
I'm not prone to feeling proud. It's not that I don't have any pride per se, it's just not... a big part of my life.
But today, I feel proud. I feel proud that I know Nightingale Gianna Whisper. I'm even more proud that she's trained me herself. I'm proud that I am the Mockingbird of the Bard's college, working for her and with her.
I like to bask in her glory, entirely selfishly - but I think she might forgive me.

I spent the entire day in the stables and I am amazed at how much better I am feeling. Working with the horses and being in the fields with them is so very calming and grounding for me. It feels like I've been needing more and more of that lately. Finding the time, though, has proven to be a difficult challenge.
That being said, I've decided that Nightlight is ready to find a forever home. She is a sweet warhorse, fully trained, and would be perfect for jousting competitions. She has the most stunning black and white color combination I've ever seen on a horse. Truly. She is remarkable in more ways than one! I will post that she is in search of a new stable to frequent later today. And, no, I will not tear up while doing so.
Okay, Scholar, maybe I will a /little./

Another year. This means Edain has turned another year as well. The melancholy just before and then the joy on the day of.
Another year, another wrinkle. The things we sacrifice, that in turn have other things that sacrifice alongside with it. My vanity dislikes me at times. But my vanity gets no say.
Happy birthday Edain. We live another year and we live for them.

Misstress Kaya,
We have not ran across one another lately. We should change such as there are skills both of us can teach one another I believe.

The paper is soft and light under my hands. I have only copied it from draft six or seven times now. The ink leaps in vivid black lines off the creamy vellum, reshaping a dream too fragile to be real. Yet every line here commits to devising a truth, one so fresh that the resonant scent of oak gall still lifts off the page.
It's a beginning and a start to greater plans. The first chapter in long annals that I hope will outlast me, something that shall leave a quiet remark upon the landscape in the years to come. Everything begins like planting an acorn in the ground, a seed in the garden, and nurturing it to fruition. It won't grow overnight, but grow it shall.
That's certainly something to raise a glass to.

Relationship Note on Rysen
I have been fortunate to find a friend in Lord Rysen Crovane. He has opened up my mind to so many things. So many thoughts.
Our walks and talks are truly the highlight of my day.

I find myself worrying today about a friend. They will remain nameless. I worry I gave poor advice or perhaps not enough comfort. I worry that I let them leave when I should have made them stay and speak more. I hope they will seek help, whether from the source I suggested or someone better suited than I to help them.
My door is always open, friend. Our troubles may not be the same, but that doesn't mean we cannot help one another understand and get through them. Or at least survive them.

Tomorrow is another of the poetry readings. I so look forward to these, even if I cry at others' words and the beauty of it all, making myself quite blotchy. It is a good thing I am not that vain, or I would never attend such things, let alone host them.
The theme this time is perspective, the prompt asking the poets to put themselves in the shoes of another, to look at the world from another's point of view. Easier said than done for many -- and yet, many of us have been blessed by visions that do just this for us. That make us look at the world from the eyes of someone else, quite literally, for a few moments.
This spins our worldview in such a way that we can never look at the world quite the same again. We hold within us the point of view of another -- or several others -- and we can become more than what we are.
It is perhaps optimistic and naive of me to hope that poetry can do the same -- albeit in a different way. Words have a power and magic all their own.

Seven years.
It's been...hmm.
To call it "a journey" wouldn't do it justice and "an adventure" would make light of the prices we've paid.
Just speaking personally here, but...gods, I've been a real shit.
Thanks for putting up with me, Ili.

Well it was an interesting night at the Harp. First time I've ever been in a fight that is simply a spar where the losing opponent had to be dragged off of me And yes, you can still be under someone and win. That's the wonder of weapons. I am grateful to Lord Ian Kennex and Ajax for their prompt aid.
