I feel it is foolish of me to rip the bandage off a sore topic. That of the topic of the color pink. It is always going to be a contentious issue but I would like to share an old Oathland proverb that sums up how many, including myself feel about the color pink.

"When does pink look best on a woman?"

"When she wraps her legs around your head."

Your welcome.

I hold no illusions, I am going to die a horrible death someday. When it happens, hold one hell of a wake for me? I've got enough liquor in my room to fuel the party for weeks. Some of it's actually quite good.

It's no secret that High Lord Victus and I don't like each other very much. Despite our attempts to bury the hatchet that is not likely to change. I will take ownership of the fact that I am the one far less willing to compromise than he is. But that dislike has never extended to the people of the Mourning Isles.

That is why I look to the east and see the spread of the Darkwater Deeps and I feel like I am sitting here in Arx useless.

I have helped how I think I best can. I have sent ships, I wait to hear back from people that are dear to me if thier missions were successful. I trust people to do what I can't. Command a ship, navigate perilous waters and be an asset where I might be a liability if I were with them because of my inexperience in such a battlefield.

So instead of sitting here feeling useless, I am going to try and do something of value. I have long had a standing agreement to offer training and instruction to those that sought entrance into the Knights of Solace. I extend that offer to anyone that wishes to go and help combat the crisis in the Mourning Isles.

I do not know if what I have to impart will help you, but if you think it will you have but to ask. I can train in the use of sword and spear. Of mounted combat and how to fight back against a mounted foe. I can teach you the trail craft to keep yourself health on a long march or conflict, or to survive if you are separated from your comrades. I can even offer some drills to help you prepare to fight through pain of injury and stand fast.

If you think this knowledge can help you, you have only to ask me for instruction.

Relationship Note on Tobias

My cousin, Tobias, has not dedicated himself to House business. No. He is a sellsword, albeit a skilled one. He has not even been to the Telmarch in years.

But he is still Telmar. And so as the reports from the front line of Maelstrom trickle in, I cannot help but feel pride in his accomplishments.

Relationship Note on Eshken

My cousin, my blood. His wits are sharper than mine will ever be, and he's come to Arx to put them in good service to the Whitehawks as Baron Silas grows his fledgling House. He does the Greenblood name proud.

Relationship Note on Calista

The Duchess of Roses is a fine patron. I am grateful to serve under her as a protege and also to call her a friend in some sense. She has been there to provide for my projects and to support me when she's able. I am hopeful that Tor will flourish with the Duchess' rule.

Relationship Note on Thena

Gerald, why does everyone record these as if we aren't speaking to one of you? To one of the scholars? Do people write their own White Journals? My handwriting is horrible -- can I even write in anything but code anymore? Who knows.

-------------

Do I need to explain the size of the ocean to her? Or the fact that the person who sees an enemy first is usually the one who gets the advantage in position regardless of if they know they are coming or not? I really don't know, Gerald. If the shade of ignorance is really that bad... Gerald, I want every white journal with the word pink in it. Every one! This will be my new project! Camouflage, after all, is a tool. Why wouldn't we use tools? SOCIAL CONSTRUCTS -- put that in huge writing, Gerald. Gods, your handwriting is genuinely beautiful. You look like my father. Are you single?

Being new in Arx is its own experience. A saw a Princess with a fox and offered to dress it for her so she could have the meat and the fur to make gloves with. Turns out it was her pet.

Why keep food as pets?

Relationship Note on Alis

Oh, Princess Alis is so considerate. Not only has she welcomed me like a sister, but she appreciates my love for Semiramis. She's such a fine mare! I see others spoil their pets and really would love to do the same. I am sure she would love to spend more time with Edain and I rather than be outside all the time. There are no words to express my joy.

Thank you for the idea of what to get you both for a wedding gift! A bed large enough for the two of you and Semiramis.

I have taken to sparing with my soon to be husband at the end of the day. It's such a soothing way to spend some time together and talk about our days. If I'm entirely honest it's also nice to see him sweating a little. He's an attractive man, even when he exerts himself. I am a fortunate woman to have someone so well matched to my personality, he makes me smile and laugh when I would worry and fret myself sick. Now if only he'd let me treat Semiramis like dog so I might take her everywhere with me. I'm told she really wouldn't fit in the bed.

May your hopes find safe harbors.

Prince Talen once said some very uncomplimentary things about the color pink.

Then I bought a pair of pink silk stockings.

He seems to have changed his mind.

I'm sure there are some strategy concerns about pink ships (or ships outfitted in pink or whatever though don't plenty of sailors announce their presence via their sails?). However, those ships most likely sail against a Herald and a Reflection who has reached even into our own harbors, not very long ago. Maybe we should assume they already know we are coming?

Just perspective I guess.
