15th, Beginning of Summer, 1st Year of Robert I

I've finally gotten Urlijk settled into her room, and I hope to be able to entrust to her my next commission of a single work. Provided, of course, that it is nothing of particularly great importance.

All of my long-past-due works are now complete, Vuldurn's sheath, the Reeve's cloaks, and I've sufficient coin in the bank (who'd have thought the Telanthans, so scornful of us, would adapt our system with even a modicrum of efficiency?) to be at some leisure now. It'll disappear into my invention soon enough, but at least I can pretend to myself that I don't have to worry about things for a bit.

My invention, as it happens, is yet incomplete, and has even caused me to be unable to continue in my normal business. Vuldurn's new lady-friend, a Lady in actuality, one Narel, did me the great kindness of assisting in salving and bandaging the wound I sustained during my last testing of the mixture. While my salve and her soft touch did much to ease the pain of it, I fear that the burn has made my left arm awkward, and as such I am not particularly inclined to take up the needle and thread, nor any other instrument, with great delight. At least, not any time soon. Urlijk's formal inclusion into the household, as such, has become that much more fortuitous. Hopefully, if she proves as competent as she seemed during her interview, I can leave her to manage the work for a bit, and concentrate my efforts on perfecting my weapon, and the mechanisms involved.

I think, when it is completed, I shall have to call it something grand.
