Well, we saved him.. I'm told.

I've not seen him yet. I want to but that entails getting out of this bed, which is going to take a little while.

Visitors: 3
Discussions (aka fights): 2, almost 3
Reminders to be good: Far too many


Hopefully when I'm up, I can take Leto up on his offer. It may keep me out of out trouble for a little while. Beyond that, I think Jonah is going to like being in my shoes for a while. Brother, I'm going to be inundated with the rapscallion tales of Nine Kings. I really need to ban them from there, but well...

Still no word on Kincaid, though it was good to see Raphaela this evening. She has me worried, and I think Leto as well. Yet, she's still able to make us choke like the best of them.

Me.. a mom? That would imply that I need to stop abusing watchmen and behave like  a proper lady. Oh dear, father would be so proud... or worried.


Oh well, tomorrow I get to meet the New Watch Commander. I wonder if he's as feisty.

A group goes to negotiate with White Fang and find another riddle instead.

 

There is nothing like the feeling of coming come, even when you already are.
Gawain arrived today, handsome as ever.
Leto can't wait to introduce him about.
I'm so thankful he didn't turn out like Pelles.

In a simple name, it can hold a great deal of meaning.

It's good to see him back. I've missed his music and his comments.
Muse indeed, now I know why I love him so. He's positively a delight.
I can't wait for him and Leto to meet.

Before we arrived today, he gave me a ring. It's beautiful. I do hope we can get through this in one piece.

I must remember to pass the news to my friend as soon as I see him. He will be happy.

We leave soon. How I wish it were a trip that was more pleasure than pain. But there's time for such endeavors. For now, I am happy that we will at least be together. There's no other I would have at my side, nor wish to protect.

I do hope that James can tend to Gladigo well. Otherwise, he may find himself bloodied before the ship even sets sails.

At times I wonder at all the dangerous things that we face. The Road, enemies, and I find the worst enemy of all can be ourselves. That we lock away our emotions, or pain in the hopes that it will stop.

Today I dealt with this twice. Yet, the advice seemed the same. Be honest with yourself. Strange that this should come from me, of all people. Perhaps if you had asked me this just a few scant months ago, I would have spoken differently.

We cannot change the past, nor do I think we would, if we had the chance. Too much would change, and we would become strangers to ourselves.

Real life has snagged hold of me for the last couple of days. I"m sorry to those that I wanted to join in Jade, but it truly was unexpected. I'm planning to be about on Tues evening though. *crosses fingers*

Have fun storming the castle

I returned yesterday morning.
The falconer said that neither Gladigo or Mhina acted up. This is a blessing, really.
S., my sweet dear friend, I worry over you. Perhaps Leto and I will be able to help.
Found out that Leto will be deployed before me. So much for warming the home fires with my family.
Father will like him. Mother is another story, or perhaps with brother's death, it may be the other way around.
Well, back to packing and training the men. Better to keep my mind distracted once more.

There's times I just want to understand.
Yes, my world is different, but  doesn't that hold true for us all?

I should stop second guessing.
I should see to the final matters.
I should  just simply... relax.

But the last I don't think I will be able to do.
Not yet.

Mhina, I am told means delight.
Such seemed the expression on his face.
At least he and gladigo will enjoy the new friend.

Still need to see to plans for the party.
Raphaela thankfully reminded me of it tonight.
 

I still feel badly for my friend's findings. But at least I was able to see an old friend tonight.
They're good folks, but I wonder if my questions sound childlike at times.


Today I was told they were ready.
Two hundred years, and I've never felt the trepidation that I do now.
How hard can it be... i mean really?

Spoke with Gerard.
Hm, maybe I should re-think my wardrobe.
More burlap.

Spoke with Cyndre.
She always does know how to shine light on the matter.


Next, need to find Godfrey.
Set a dinner party for tomorrow.
Find a costume.
Think on other manners of distraction the mind and heart.

There are times I am reminded of who my friends truly are.
They are few and far between.
Each a jewel in their own right.  But I should never tempt them.
It wasn't intentional, truly an experiment.

Tonight was... interesting.
Between watching over friends and knowing that of others.

I need to find Kincaid.

One dinner can change so much.

There are times that I truly love my friends,
and should find ways to thank them.
Maybe an owl... Somehow that seems fitting.

Looks like an new addition on the house.  But it should be a welcoming event.


Also, never let a bird figure out how you are letting him out. I'm not sure that someone got in, but it took days to put the house right again.

Went to see Jack. Truly he's not what I expected and is all in one go. Is that possible? But there comes a time that we will speak and the treasure he shares of truly intriguing.


As to the other Jack, Raphaela and I got to speak on that for a time. Truly, she's my dearest friend, I think. May I never give her cause to be angry.

Keep the men busy.


Do not ask strange men about their futures.


Do not propose, ever!


Hmm, I should really take Gladigo out to the forest, and the two of us enjoy a bit of exercise.
