Relationship Note on Halsim

Maybe you weren't there.

But let me tell you something:

Anything that has the ability to turn ONE person into a fucking insect for shits and giggles? That's terrifying. The blood freezing kind of terrifying.

Take that and multiply it by hundreds of people.

This is bad, very bad.

It could also be that, like Brand, it is just not that great of a military leader. Which will benefit Arx and the defenders the more and more it wastes time and resources.

Relationship Note on Halsim

He's playing with us. He could have destroyed us at Farhaven and he didn't because he didn't feel like it.

Relationship Note on Halsim

We didn't see his converted armies. Not that last fight, in any case. Those were the people he lied to. The people he convinced that the Compact were responsible for the poison killing their shamans and their spirits and hurting their people. He convinced them you were their enemies, something that I imagine was ridiculously easy to do, considering everything else the Compact does to them without any need for the Horned One to lie about.

And then, for no other reason than because he fucking could, he killed every single one of them with a thought, in an instant--turned their bodies into insects because those people didn't mean anything more to him than they did to you.

With all the talk about the things we fought up north being hive minded, I would have thought we'd have seen a lot more cohesion in the army we found.

The Silent War had more organization in the ranks... so what stopped the Horned One from doing the same for its' fodder?

Women do not discuss their ages with men. It's a known fact, and men who want to keep their internal organs internal do not comment or draw attention to it unless she specifically does so first, like discussing plans for her birthday and what gifts she'd like and what age she'd like to be referred to even if you know that's a flat out bold-ass faced lie. Or an ass-faced lie too.

A free lesson for men.

Relationship Note on Clover

It's a relief to have the contracts worked out and the betrothal announced. I think my expectation that things would slow down after that were largely unfounded, since there seems to be rather a lot left to be done, and more added by the day. It is, however, a happy sort of busy.

You know when you're -really- going at it and the bits smack too hard against something? That's what clapback is. Pretty sure.

I hope someone has warned the Marquesa that her husband's plan is to be dead by 40.

Whippersnappers, all of you.

What the hell is a clapback?

I hit my midlife crisis about seven years ago. Too late.

Also, you're the Master of Questions. Not the Master of Clapbacks. Stop taking all the jobs, Your Highness.

Relationship Note on Aleksei

I plan to take up a collection for your future midlife crisis. I hope to purchase a wagon for you. In Lyon's Redoubt the youthful wagon races were always quite fun. It's said the red ones went the fastest. So yours will be cherry red.

I hear that the recent fad in the Redoubt is that when the wheels stop, the spokes continue spinning. The latest in wagon racing fashion, no doubt.

Relationship Note on Orazio

The Godsworn are invited to sit beside the Crownsworn of the Lowers and share a meal. Encouraged, even. If those men and women that serve our Gods wish to leave a few silver to pay for their bowl of soup, we will not object.

And of course we are doing good work! Who ever did bad deeds with soup?

In the time I have been living in Arx, the houses of the Lyceum have undergone various changes. While many might think such flux weakens the bonds within our city-states, it has proven to our people we stand stronger and more united than ever. To Prince Niccolo, you stepped up to guide us when all the color in the world seemed to fade away. You made us proud then and you continue to do so. To the newest Archduchess, Eleyna, you have proven to be quite a viable force within the Lyceum. I have no doubt you will continue the legacy of Velenosa greatness.

Relationship Note on Victus

You've come a long way. I know you're not given to long bouts of philosophy and introspection, so instead of a lot of fancy words, I'll keep it simple.

You have a long way to go still but you're headed there. I like who you're becoming, and I'm proud of you. Just keep swimming, cuz.

I look wistfully behind me yet the shores of Setarco are long from view. Amidst its sands we have left friends, family, enemies and history. I can nearly hear them all whispering their farewells with each splash against the belly of the ship. There is sadness. There is fear. There is hope...

I turn my head against the sting of sea spray to the cold, dark port of Arx. What lies ahead is unknown. Will we find our way? We have been warned by those who care for us of the ruthlessness of the capital and the turmoil that it breeds, both amidst its denizens and the world that gnaws and gnashes about the great city. We have heard the tales of attacks, both against its gates and abroad.

Despite the ruthlessness I have witnessed and betrayals I've faced, it is this city that I fear the most. The unknown. Yet, here I am droning on about my hesitance and failing to mention my excitement. To see a world outside that of what I've known is a gift, not a punishment. I acknowledge that even with the anxiety hanging heavy in my chest.

A new life. A new adventure. Here we go.

Relationship Note on Aleksei

I don't believe anyone needs to be reminded of how old I am. Especially myself.

However, I agree with Blessed Aleksei's remarks on the godsworn - we do not require free meals. However, we look forward to assisting with the funding of the new soup kitchen, and with any supplies it may need, as long as it is doing good work in the Lowers.

The Godsworn don't need free meals! They can afford their own. They better not be swooping in taking soup from the needy!
