Inverno Imports & Exports is open for business. Just as the Empyrean route has opened. I would say it's fortuitous, but that would diminish the work that went into finding the office, securing the writs and documents, signing on captains, and negotiating contracts. The work of many months and a good way to kick off the turning of the year.

Congratulations go to Sir Norwood Clement for winning first place in the Gauntlet. That was well played, Sir Knight.

While I rarely reply on someone else' entries, I must disagree with Kenna and her call to repair another journal. For sometimes, cats purring away on part of you is incredibly soothing. Dogs often forget they get too big for such things, and also drool... and worse.

Hadrian
Early on there was a little, no a lot of friction between my Nephew In Law and myself. We're both two terribly different types of men, and I do not mean that in a bad way. Hadrian has his strengths, I have mine. I don't agree with everything he does, and of course I love my Niece unconditionally and if he ever truly hurt her, I'd of course, have to do something about it. yet, I held my tongue as bade, Cambria trusted him for good reason, and he has done amazing things for Ostria and the House of Mazetti. I'm glad I don't need to worry about him anymore, he isn't... someone else. Bah, so many words. Perhaps he's influencing me more than I expected, the horror. Regardless, Hadrian just deserved something a little public from me on how much his work has been appreciated.

So you need to fix Silas' last white.
I know that isn't how it's done.
You should do it.
It should be, "Dogs are always the best."
Go on, fix it.

You are correct - that is precisely how it works.
Prince Luca was fighting on the side of Lady Saoirse, whose claim was that he must have cheated to have won the popularity contest.
He won, therefore, he must have cheated.
It was, as I said, a very silly duel.

It's my understanding that if a duel is won, then the winner is the correct side of the disagreement? Whichever it was?
I say this as having lost a duel that Luca fought on my behalf, and no matter how wronged I felt I was, I made my apologies to the victor without question.
Isn't that still how it works?

For the record of anyone who cares (which I figure is a slim number), I did not stop any runaway carts.
That was all the fine work of Officer Sparte Fatchworth and Officer Harper Ashdown as well as Guardswoman Kenna Whitehawk. I just dealt with the paperwork.

I can scribble a few words and send them in by assistant or messenger, but I find reasons to leave the house as a good way to get fresh air.
Sometimes I'll even nap in the archives.
Don't believe me? Good. It means I remain uncaught.

Actually, what Prince Luca proved was that he had to cheat in order to win the popularity contest.
If you're going to act like the victory at a silly duel like that is the important thing, perhaps at least get the information right.

My friends attesting to my skills as a scholar has made me seriously reconsider my reluctance to leave the Hall lately. More adventures will be in order before I consider my early and well-earned hermitage surrounded by books, house-rabbits, and family.

I have been sitting on some good news for the Grim Duke and have finally determined the best way to deliver it...with something else that he and the family will absolutely love.
A room in the Longhouse for tucking away beauty, to foster and protect what is as important to the Grims as swift ships and sharp axes.
I absolutely cannot wait to show them all, and to tell him.
I want to give them the kind of memory that gets carried out to the battlefields and provides the motivation to fight like hell to come back home.

I have been informed you are newly married. In writing this I was also informed you have been writing about being tired. I do hope you are having a scholar do the writing for you or you may not be tired enough. Yet.

I managed to win at an archery contest put on by the Champions. Stiff competition out on the field. Lady Zoey Kennex, Lady Shae Keaton and Commander Violet somethingsomething-Marjawn were all very good. There were several other entrants that kept up with the contest even as they lagged behind, showed good spirit. Those are the ones that will show up to the next contest and smoke everyone else out. I look forward to it.
Family and friends were there too. It was a good night.
