April 4, 2007
Things have been rather hectic in the wake of Dox’s announcement that I am taking over the Council. It seems my instincts were right on and the others are as interested in running things ourselves as I expected. I have met with members of several other families so far, as well as one of the Tower’s Deputies. Seems their big buy is concerned over the growing unrest with them and the Sword and wants to meet with us. It is my guess he wants to forge an alliance, or at the very least see where we stand. I think that maintaining decent relations with them is good, but he has to understand that our neutrality is what keeps us alive. We fight our own battles, not the battles of others.
I have also met Judge finally, and we discussed the Council as well. While he may be as crazy as everyone says, his ideas are good ones, and much of what he said agreed with things we have already begun to put in place. Now it is a matter of having the Families get themselves together and decide themselves who will sit with the Council.
I have to mention here that it has been three days since I lost my hair and so far no signs of it returning. I should note the same of Lavi. She has been impossible to find in the wake of her little surprise, so I sent the following note:
Lavi,
What a surprise and an interesting April Fool’s day. I hope it tickled your fancy adequately. Someone told me today I look quite sexy this way. The rose you left for me in your office was also most thoughtful and your name has been on my lips constantly since. Pity we keep missing each other as I cannot wait to see you. I am, of course,
Your dearest darling love,
~Louie
Let’s hope she knows sarcasm when she sees it.
