Two of my most favorite cousins are getting married! Donella and Darren, I wish you all the very best in life.

And another wedding dress crafted. It is absolutely beautiful, though I am biased. I am also starting to feel as if I shall always be the dress maker and never the bride who wears it. It might be for the best, I have yet to find another person who is willing to freeze to death just because.

Relationship Note on Silas

Please stay alive. I'm in desperate need of someone to take all of my things if I die suddenly.

I must admit that one of the most attractive qualities a person can have is the ability to stand before the world, look it in the eye, and say, "I am sorry. I made a mistake. I will do what I can to make amends."

Although, failing such an opportunity, the ability to look idiots in the eye and mete out common sense is also disturbingly attractive.

Relationship Note on Alexis

I watched Dame Alexis Wyrmfang, Sword of Blancbier -- fight a bunch of lopsided, straw-filled dummies like they were her enemy -- I tossed myself into her spar. Back to back we practiced and introduced ourselves. Then we had a conversation about respect over bacon sandwiches and cider.

We both agreed that /everyone/ is deserving of a level of dignity and respect no matter who they are. Alexis pointed it out, and I thought that it was common sense.

Why isn't it common sense?

I have a feeling I will be seeing more of Arx in the coming months than I have in my entire life prior.

I will discover all the new things that can kill me! Exciting.

Such a shameful thing to hear about. Rewriting history is certainly a fascinating thing to witness.

Let me see all the different ways that my plans have not worked recently. I have not gain any new backers in my endeavor. I might have insulted the Vice-Captain of Valorous Few. I was too drunk to get the names of two new backers, and I am searching my room for the notes of the names that Lord Ian gave me. I think he is right about some parts of my plan. I think I am scrapping the offensive aspects, and just stick to the defensive aspects of my plan. Well, I have to go out and hit the grindstone some more today.

Relationship Note on Muiryn

Anyone could tell he never wanted to be in the city, and only familial duty kept him here. He was a level head (mostly) in a largely rowdy, randy, and rambunctious crowd of young people. Now he's free. There is not enough alcohol in the world to make this easier.

It is time I leave Arx for some time and return to Aviaron. Messengers will still be able to find me, fear not. But a Marquis should never be too long absent from their March, lest the land suffer from inattention.

I count Prince Darren and Princess Donella amongst my friends. The news of their impending union brings me great happiness.

(I need to write them both a note.)

Now if only this little Marquis/Marquessa would STOP KICKING ME...

All of this reincarnation business seems quite normal to me. I'm very glad the Faith is able and willing to explain how all of this sort of thing works now! It was quite confusing before we began to learn more about the Queen.

All this reincarnation stuff sounds just so wrong... And weird...

Relationship Note on Leona

Dame Leona Thrax, Lord Commander of the King's Own.

Provides excellent conversation. Answered my nosy questions. Might have smiled.

Prince Tyrval. My ancenstor... alive and poke-able. I didn't poke him, honestly, I wanted to. I envy his hair and his fashion sense.

In truth, I'm glad I had a moment to speak with him and have my voice heard over everyone who flocked around him. It can't be helped, the flocking. He's flock-able. Handsome too, in the way elves are. And he knows so much about the world.

He's given me some justification to the visions I've had and there's nothing now that will keep me back from venturing out of Arx... not if there are promises of understanding at the end of such a journey. I have my answers.

Now, to get a crew organized.

As I surmised to the former-human now-elven woman, I think I was a ship's surgeon in a past life. Someone who lived on rum, whiskey, and bad bacon, cussed every other word, and got their hands bloody every other day.

I pity whomever ends up as me in the next life. They'll never be happy unless there's leather, bourbon, and someone to snark at.

More time passes after the siege and other incidents. Things seem to be getting interesting, in that we don't know what situation there will be next. But at least for a while, it seems things are at least somewhat quiet. Alas, that doesn't make the job of the Guard too much easier, since we must keep working, and so must many others, to keep vigilant.

Our ship returned with hardly any trouble. Although, you could tell that the air was cooler as we docked - it seems that autumn has come to the capital city. Lovely. I was anticipating a change in the season (and in wardrobe) ever since the end of summer. I was looking forward to any sort of changes, speak true. Which, goodness, hearing the most recent circulation of news among the sailors and fisherman - quite a lot has happened.

New perspectives are waiting for us. Opportunities are plentiful for all. Learn to embrace chaos in a way that seems foreign, but acceptable and achievable. Then, you are armed with more confidence as you walk into the next uncomfortable situation. You begin to thrive in new situations because you have proven to yourself that you can, not only handle change, but FLOURISH. I believe that.

Hugs and kisses, Arx.
