Relationship Note on Valery

You have created a bevy of beauty in your garden. The opening was wonderful.

Relationship Note on Daemon

I was not aware until now that my protege is a masochist. At first, I had merely thought his giving into the temptation of sweets was an indicator of a weak will before the nefarious ingredient: sugar. Something that I could tackle, could work with him on, until such a time as he saw a tray of cookies, a whole cake or pie, and say, "No!" How foolish was I! Sir Daemon has plenty of will. He simply chooses to defy it so that he might endure the pain that comes after the momentary bliss. One cannot train this away, no matter how many morning walks one takes or how many lectures are heard concerning proper eating.

I am still uncertain how I feel about this revelation. So long as he remains in fighting trim, then I suppose that's all that matters.

Of course, it is also entirely his choice to eat whatever he damned well pleases.

It is by the rigorous training of the Oathlands that we Valardin are able to munch upon our favorite sweets while still retaining our athletic beauty! Yesterday I partook in a tray of cookies and as punishment, performed 100 squats and a lap around the ward. Next perhaps I shall try a cookie wrapped in bacon.

It is a life of pain, but the rewards are worth it.

Relationship Note on Alis

Alas, Princess Alis has discovered my secret and taunts me with it. I would love scallops, but I have made it these many months of my marriage with out consuming bacon. Truthfully it reminds me of the salt meat we eat at sea. I have no love for salted meats. I sure it will shock many, but when it is a staple of your diet on the water, you tend to crave sweeter flesh on land.

Relationship Note on Caelis

We will eat almost anything if there is bacon included in the recipe. I am sure you are shocked by that. Truly, utterly caught by surprise.

Bacon wrapped sea scallops? I think that's a thing. From somewhere.

Another quiet week. Had a lovely little dinner, I still firmly believe there isn't enough sea fare in the Oathland diet. I feel so heavy from rich meats. I believe I will have to cajole the cooks into adopting some Southport recipes. I find myself longing for a bit of adventure, I will have to find a reason to stretch my legs soon. Over all it seems like I am settling in and slowly getting to know my new family well. It's quieter than living with my cousins, I miss all the sparing, and my brother. I shall have to cajole him to come out and spar with me if only so I don't grow fat working on the navy and doing paperwork.

May your hopes find safe harbors.

That moment when you look at someone, or they look at you, and suddenly you feel like your heart has lit up.

That little spark that flows through you like fire. The one that makes you secretly smile.

You know the one. Gods, I love that.

Everyone should feel that.

Ripping dresses should be done as a joint project, in my view. Something flimsy and inexpensive may be worn for the purpose. Communication is key!

I believe Lady Joslyn has discovered the true reason that steelsilk was created. Let someone try to rip that dress!

Relationship Note on Madeleine

Archlector Madeleine, or Maddy as she asked to be called, seems to have an ever-present smile, is kindly and supportive. She is good company and has a lovely way of speaking of the winds and waters of Mangata.

You know, I feel that it should be commented upon. Ripping a dress is not just a crime against your family's bank account, but also on your own sanity. If anybody were to rip one of my dresses, what follows had certainly better be the single most mind blowing experience of my life. Even if it was, my forgiveness would only last until the glow wore off, and than it gets brought up every time we have an argument between now and death. Don't rip dresses, unless you are 100% sure she is into that. As much fun as it is, and as hot as it is.

Just not my seasilk, please.

Relationship Note on Delilah

I've had the pleasure of getting to know Lady Delilah Whitehawk better of late, and have decided we shall be good friends. It is strange sometimes, to live among silks while not being quite of them, and I feel she understands this as one not born to highborn titles. She is wise in ways I am not about threats we face, and brave in her studies to confront them. Also, she is quite fun to drink with.

*A picture of a cliff face that comes right up against the sea. Most of the cliff is plain, boring slate... but one part of it has a shimmering rainbow of opalescent colors. Standing atop that cliff is a strange, ghostly figure of a woman, dressed in a pearlescant dress, but seeming to be insubstantial.*

Relationship Note on Mydas

Is brooding in tunnels underground better or worse than brooding in towers in the sky? Not that the Marquis would ever brooooood.

It was a very good talk I had with Marquis Mydas. We covered history, ancient and present, as well as some theological debate. He might be one of the very rare good Mirrormasks!

Fuck I hate water, but I be grateful for not being keel hauled in a pool.
