Relationship Note on Ailith

The Palace Seraph, she seems like a fairly sweet person. She has offered to be a confidant, but I really have nothing to confide. In any case, she seems concerned for the state of our new recruits as well as our seasoned Swords. Having arranged for services for them with Sir Rymarr previously, I saw no need to change those orders. I wonder what lies deeper than the sweetness under the surface.

No, wait - I know. She has a mouth on her, that one, and uses it when she's tired and mad in training. She asked to start working with some of our squires, to work on stamina and do something physical. I joined the morning exercises as I often do, and was more than a little amused by her hmmm - accompaniment? She didn't quit though, and that says a lot of her strength of character. I hope the soak does her well, and if she doesn't apologize I'm not going to hold that against her.

For the record though? I did warn her.

Relationship Note on Leona

I retract all praise about the Lord Commander. She /is/ trying to kill me.

Two days and I'm still discovering places I thought couldn't ache. The short trip down the hall was pure agony. This burn, it's felt. And no amount of mews and snarls won't change the fact that I asked for this punishment.

Maybe after a soak, I'll apologize to her.

/Maybe/.

A surprising number of people seem to want to come train with the King's Own, from the very noble to those who serve the very noble, to even some members of the Faith. I wonder if Lady Aislin's been telling tales. In any case I'm allowing it upon consideration of each request - it's good for our hopeful recruits to see what their competition will be, and it's good to remind people that the King's Own are people too. It's easy to think of us as automatons who simply guard the King, but these Knights who have sworn their lives to the King's Service are so much more than that. They deserve a chance to be remembered as people. Untouchable heroes of old are inspiring in what they do. But I also believe that the ordinary woman, with her quirks and foibles known to those close and still choosing to be exceptional is just as inspiring. I'm sure that our heroes of old had quirks. I know that they were people, and had weak moments. But those are lost to time and legend, and so now this new generation of the Hundred must learn that they will still be human even when I call upon them to do extraordinary things and become legends themselves.

Few of the Hundred die in bed of old age. But while they live, let them LIVE - and let them be as prepared as I can make them, while still remembering the things that make them unique.

Relationship Note on Aksel

I was right there with you swallowing my body weight in sea water with my leg cramping. We didn't drown, I consider that a success.

Relationship Note on Alis

*A shaky sketch of a light haired woman. She's got a valardin style helm off and held underneath her arm. A sword is held with in the other hand. She's looking on with a fierce expression.*

Relationship Note on Edain

*A shakey sketch of a man holding his arm out. Flying above the man is what appears to be a great horned owl. It's hard to tell if the man has just sent the owl off, or is trying to get the owl to land upon his arm.*

*A shaky sketch of an empty bench, flanked by rose bushes. Done with rough, simple strokes of the charcaol. The details on the roses is not expert and a little bit fuzzy but done well enough to make out the flowers. A set of boots sits next to the bench, half hidden by the rose bush.*

I made a rather good showing in the Iron Guard Pentathlon swimming competition, I think. I took the silver medal for second place, coming in behind only Princess Reese. If I had to take less than first, I'm pleased Grayson won the top spot. That woman swims like a fish! Dame Alexis Wyrmfang did Valardin credit, earning third. All in all, it was a fine, spirited competition from the men and women of Redrain, Velenosa, Valardin and Grayson. I am proud to have taken part. For kin and honor, and all thanks to the Iron Guard for providing us a field on which to excel.

So I swam in a race today. How did it go? In a word, I sucked.

Only can get better. Cause if I got worse? I'd drown.

Relationship Note on Marian

Fergus and Marian came by, and we had a long talk. It's good to know I have some drinking buddies, because boy am I going to need them sooner or later.

Relationship Note on Nigel

I suspect the perpetually harried air my brother-in-law shows the world is, to an extent, a facade to protect himself from the weight of expectation. But he has shouldered every burden his sister and I have placed upon his shoulders.

Relationship Note on Esoka

The integration of my Greenwoods into House Riven was a challenge, but the steadfast service Dame Esoka has given to our house has been crucial in sustaining the alliance made all those years ago. Whatever lingering doubts she may have about her own measure, she has my full confidence. Now she must earn her own.

Relationship Note on Aiden

I wasn't aware I needed your permission to have no romantic interest in you whatsoever. The things you learn in this city.

Our standard pricing model applies, if you want to hire anyone from the Few.

Living in a city is hard. Why aren't there more trees? Living so close together with so many people would drive anyone mad. I am convinced this is why so many journals are so confusing. Not enough time under the trees.

Relationship Note on Lydia

Lydia has returned from Stonedeep. It was good to see her today and to sit and talk. We are the only two left from our immediate family.

Though she is feeling the pressures keenly, I think she will make an excellent Duchess, one that is perhaps better suited to the collaboration and compromise that is necessary for the Compact's continued survival than we have had in generations. There is a lot of work to be done, but I know she is up to the task.

Speaking of which, Nightgold needs an heir...

We fucking get it. Good job. Fantastic.

I swear if you start a trend with that shit, I'm punching so many people in the face.

Fair warning.

I am personally certain that Captain Audric of the Valorous Few has rescued a kitten orphanage from certain destruction and I am so appalled to read people maligning his good name this way.

Relationship Note on Shard

It's okay if you feel how you do. You clearly have no one else to spend your time on, so I'm touched and will consider it my duty to keep your life interesting.

About that job? I can't promise you'll get to kill things, all the time, but there might be a few things that need killing. Think about it. You can rib me for hours on end and we can squabble like monkeys over a banana. I think my fellow explorers will appreciate the amusement.

And I am not keeping anything a secret. I have more than once announced who I love in various journals and we don't hide our affections.
