Dear Diary,

[adrianna_rta]

Things in Montevalno progress, but slowly. Perhaps soon we will see an end to this fighting, though I have appreciated the chance to work on my swordsmanship. I must speak to Rose soon about the matter, once I discover if she's actually in Aventia still, or once more in Amber as I am

I am relatively certain Rose is in Amber, but I am not completely certain. You would think /I/ would know but there you have it.

I am horribly and terribly afraid of any Adrianna-Valentine plans. Horribly. Terribly. Afraid. On new and epic levels of being horribly and terribly afraid.

[adrianna_rta]

I'm not sure why you're so afraid, Darling. What's the worst that could happen?

[addison_rta]

An utter misplacement of trousers.

Between Rose and the Adrianna-Valentine Onslaught, I admit to being completely helpless. There's nothing I can do, really.

[emma_rta]

Not once have I regretted getting my own townhouse -- and there's more of a circus at your home than there ever was at mine!

[addison_rta]

We don't have a circus. Just dead aunts.

[adrianna_rta]

I am waiting for the trained elephants to show up in the solarium, or perhaps lions jumping through hoops of flame.

Should this happen, I would not be surprised. I would simply quietly pack up my things, show up at Rose's door and keep her company until my own townhouse could be found.

[addison_rta]

There are a few options:

- We do have guestrooms in Feldane. One could be arranged.

- Our Suites in the Palace off the Citron Solar are the size of a fully operational train station. You could run an entire service out of the privvy if you wanted. We have a double-suite because we widened the suite several months ago.

- The Palace has guest suites that are going unused.

None of these options are as comfortable as your own townhouse, mind.

[rose_rta]

I am in Amber for the near future, Adri darling. My time is divided between the palace and the Feldane townhouse. Do drop by.

We have much to discuss.

[adrianna_rta]

I shall be sure to drop by soon, dearest sister.

This is what I like about this shadow. War is so civilized, it doesn't spill onto my doorstep.

[adrianna_rta]

War is an art, darling. We've gotten very good at making sure we only color between the lines.

[rose_rta]

Precisely.

One must not let a little thing like war get in the way of the important things in life. And Adri is right: If something is to be done it ought to be done properly and with style.
