Hating convention, hating pretention

Only a few days left now. And then, Dragons willing, I will not have to travel for some time. The worst hardship to face in Nallen will be Tessa's sister having to be at the wedding and that I can face, for the both of them.
I hope they will be able to leave soon, so very much. I still don't understand how-
[pause]
...I wish Prince Ian had one of these journals. I do miss him. | comments: Leave a comment   |

I'm glad I am not the one travelling to Floran...

Have you managed to leave yet? | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |
| The final preparations for Patrick and my departure have finally been arranged. We shall be leaving at the beginning of next week.
It will be very saddening to leave Eblar after such a lovely stay but I also do look forward to being home once again. At least I shall have one of the rarer books from the library here to read on the journey, given to me by Prince Ian for the Festival. | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |

Floran. It seems to be the center of the world these days. I wonder why? He has promised to write and I will do the same. It will not be the same but it will be the best that can be done.
I really will miss being here, though I also do miss seeing Thomas and everyone else. Even Mother.

I have some news. It has not yet been officially announced, though it will be later today, but Prince Ian and Princess Seraphine will be heading out in approximately a month's time to visit the court in Floran. | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |

I...
It's strange. I have met Prince Ian before, though it has been many years. But I never thought of him as being so...I can't even think of the proper word. But I never noticed him for more than his title.
It sounds very superficial now. | | comments: Leave a comment |

Maybe now I can understand how Laurel could turn a blind eye. It can be so tempting, to get wrapped up in your own happiness and make yourself wilfully blind to the rest of the world.
But if anything had changed he would have told me...
Is that just an excuse?

Most of the time I'm able to forget about this but...it's always there in the back of my mind. This doubt. Dragons, I wish I could just enjoy it but things have gone so wrong in the past. I need to be sure.

I do not believe we have ever talked before. My name is Caroline of House Nallen.
I am currently in Elbar, celebrating the return of Princess Seraphine. I also have had the priveledge of spending time with His Royal Highness, Prince Ian. But throughout it all I keep remembering Lord Matthias' claims that you are Prince Ian.
Now, I hardly put any faith in the opinion of such a man, however my mind would be greatly put at ease if I heard it directly from you that this claim is false, if you would be so kind as to oblige this. I apologize for the foolishness, since I am certain it cannot be true...still, I would be very grateful if you would do this for me. | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |
| As saddening as it can be to see people beginning to head home, it has been nice to have things calm down here in Eblar, at least slightly. It allows for more relaxing pastimes to be enjoyed, such as spending some time in the wonderful Palace Library. The Prince has pointed out some very interesting volumes that can be found on the shelves here.
Though I have never been a great reader, this may have to change in light of this opportunity. | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |

This really is going well, isn't it?
It's a bit strange though. Even though this match is so coveted and thus should require such a great amount of effort to bring it about...it doesn't. I feel generally very relaxed. It is such a relief, after all the games from before.
And still, I can't keep myself from wondering if it will all implode, just like the others... | | comments: Leave a comment |

I still feel so...cautious. But after everything that's happened, how could I be anything else?
People are talking though. I'm surprised the Rowan dogs have said nothing. It could be the first time they have ever pleasantly surprised me.

How are you? Has anything improved? | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |

I know Thomas did not want Laurel manipulated, yet...why can't she figure this out on her own?
I do feel bad for Tessa, since she is so happy there, but at the same time how can she be so happy, when Thomas is so miserable? Perhaps it's just me but I thought loved ones being unhappy should preclude someone's own happiness. Perhaps not.
Dragons...there is so much in my life that is finally going right yet I cannot fully enjoy it because of this situation. Though I will certainly make sure the Prince does not know that. | | comments: Leave a comment |

I almost don't want to write it down...I've been disappointed before. But others have noticed so it must be real. Perhaps everything before this was just to keep me free for this moment.
[pause]
I won't say anything about that now though. There is other business to attend to.

Are you having fun in Bresa? | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |

How is it that this Agi fellow is in Hanalan yet the Prince is here? I don't...
Well, perhaps the moral is not to take the word of Matthias of Diarnay on anything. I didn't even realize I had taken his word for it, until arriving here and seeing His Highness for myself. | | comments: Leave a comment |

We left a few days ago. There wasn't time before we left to write again, what with all the preparations. And then right afterwards I...well, there was the usual situation.
How is Bresa? | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |

Here goes nothing.
[Filter: Public]
The weather has been quite lovely of late, which is very comforting because it means the journey to Eblar shall be comfortable for my brother and I. The planning is still being finalized right now but we should be leaving shortly. It shall be wonderful to see Princess Seraphine home again and to pay our respects in person. | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |

Sometimes I wonder what I did to anger the Dragons so much. Someone must be sent to Eblar. We cannot be left out of the celebrations and who better to go than me? Perhaps I might even meet some scholar or merchant, like Thomas keeps saying I might.
And now Rowan will be there. Perhaps almost all of them.
The Dragons hate me.
[Filter: Thomas, Tessa, and Laurel]
How are the three of you? It seems so long since you left, even though I know it hasn't been. | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |
| It is always around this time of year that snow stops being a novelty. It will be nice when it is gone and we can move around outside unhindered. I have hardly been able to get any practice in of late.
Of course, there are many other things to do, what with the wedding preparations. There truly is never an idle moment. | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |

I can hardly look at these things. I can't focus. I can't...
[Filter: Thomas]
A new year should be a time of new beginnings. We need a new beginning...to have something change for the better for once. | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |
