I went to the salon held by Archlector Aleksei at the Grotto. I'd never been to a salon before but I've been to things that were close to it, but with worse food and maybe not as much wisdom and important folk in it.
I was curious about Skald, and I learned a few things. I had tried reading the book but this was a lot better, I thought, especially the parts with the fighting. I like the whole notion of choice and making decisions and so forth, as I understand it. There are parts of the doctrine that I still don't understand, to tell the truth, but then that goes for most of the gods. I even thought about being a disciple, but I don't know if I would do any good as a disciple, and then there's other gods I like as well. I try doing what I think is right and the gods might like, or at least some of them. Others I wouldn't rightly know. Most of the time I just hope that's enough.

Relationship Note on Aleksei
I miss him terribly in the sparser Champions since his and Nia's leaving, but he's right where he should be. He can still make a spectacle in the sands of a duel though. Bravo Blessed Alley Cat.

The Inquisition cleans its ranks -
Both the Guard and now the Inquisition have been found to be infiltrated.

I have learned a very valuable lesson. Sometimes one should investigate whether they -should- do something instead of if they -could-. I also learned that ignorance is not bliss. I am just very lucky to have people in my life that are patient enough to explain to me why things are bad when I make mistakes. I am just very very happy that my mistake was stopped before anything bad happened. I am very very happy to learn from this.

This was a pretty fascinating event, all told. I'd not had much chance to learn about Skald, largely unknown as much of his history and lore was to us once. But the idea of freedom of choice that Brother Aleksei spoke on was fascinating. That we all have the capacity for good or evil, and that our decisions give those things so much more importance. Surely, I know this to be true. Of course the First Choice's doctrine has certain... implications toward the isles and our own troubles. Perhaps their particular branch of the Faith could be an important vehicle for encouraging change there?

For being a smartass commoner, he's alright. Every once in a while I think about slugging him in the mouth. Most the time I'm too busy snickering though.

Relationship Note on Niamh
Gods be good, but this one hurts.
Niamh helped me find words to put to the feelings inside of me, to understand what honor could really mean outside of stories and empty words. She took me seriously, and she gave me something to aspire to, and she was also just ... a lot of fun. She made me better. She made me feel like I could be better. And I'll always honor her memory.

A mission! The Regent has asked me to embark on a diplomatic mission to the Nox'alfar along with several other skilled individuals. Apparently we must arrange a treaty and avoid war. The usual sort of thing. Still, despite the terrifying things I've heard of the elves, I'm very excited. They sound so... unique, so unusual and strange, and apparently they hate boredom most of all. I'd hardly call myself boring! I just wonder what I'll wear...

Relationship Note on Niamh
When the news of Lady Niamh's death reached me I have to admit that it was a bit of a surprise. It seemed like just the other day that I had met with her and spoken with her. I regret that I did not have the chance for further conversations.

Yet more gone. It's a wonder any of us are still here. Though I suppose in some ways many of us are not.
Love and heartfelt sympathy to those who have lost. My heart goes out to you.
I hope this will be the last of this for some time.
I hope for a lot of impossible things.

Relationship Note on Niamh
The first time I met Niamh Greenmarch, she woke me up in the Champions Guildhall by climbing on top of me and kissing the hell out of me. Soon enough she was lamenting that I couldn't think straight because she'd distracted me too well.
That was Niamh. Funny and fierce. Vivid and passionate. And she was my friend.
She wanted, very fiercely, to leave the world a better place than she found it. She tried so hard. I hope her imprint will be felt by those she leaves behind.
I know it's felt by me.

My sister.
That's what she was. Niamh was my sister. Even when Rowan left me behind, she said we would always be sisters. And now, she too is gone. I feel lost... so very lost, and broken. I don't know what happened... she was young, healthy, how could she just die like that? It doesn't seem right...
And now, I am more alone. I once had so many people around me that made me feel loved, that made me laugh. Life was joyous with them around. Life was easier to balance when they were there to help hold me up when I felt like falling. The land is breaking off all around me, leaving me on this little island of rock. I look around me and see ghosts of their memories... And now she is the newest among them.... Why, Niamh? Why?
Logically, I know I am not alone. I have others still. I have hope top grow closer to new friends, and I have some still who are closer to me than my own family. It is taking everything in me to not cling to them with worry now, not to drive them insane with my growing fear of loss.
How do I combat this? it is not a thing I am used to... maybe because I so rarely let anyone in close enough to feel like this for... I didn't -feel- then... now I feel hollow... and I am not sure which is worse.
I love you, my sister. Sisters we shall remain for all time.

No one will ever tell us again, that we cannot be as we wish, my artist. No one can ever tell us again that we cannot dance with each other.
And like dance, you lift my spirits and make me feel free. And the best part is, I know that our dance is only beginning.

I did not know Lady Niamh very well. But from my brief discussions with her, she was a lady full of passion and strong ideals.
I hope someone is able to take the Order she built, and grow it into what she wanted. Her dream shouldn't die along with her.
May the Gods and Spirits keep you, Lady Niamh.

Relationship Note on Sameera
Out of all the people I've been meeting in Arx, Sameera is by far the most important to me. She has never asked for anything, not really, and has shown me nothing but kindness. Even if she claims she is not very kind. I think I see a side of her that others do not get to see very often. For this, I am happy.
We may not be related by blood, Sameera, but you will always be a sister to me.

Still in a shitty mood. Think I've lost track how long I've been sitting in this room. Watching. Guarding. But Marian is starting to look better. Still ain't talking much but, she isn't on Death's door anymore.
Then this pipsqueak of a Valardin shoves her way in states I'm going to eat my damn lunch or she's going to ram it down my throat.
She's alright. I like her, but I didn't say that shit out loud. But don't fucking tell me eat my dinner again.
Good talk, Pocket Knight.

Prince Aiden's masquerade in the Menagerie was most fun. An evening full of enchantment and beauty. Dances were plentiful in the Palace in Petrioch, but this one was special to me. I am thinking this is because it was the first time I was able to dance with the one I wanted to dance with, and there was no one to tell me I cannot.
I very much believe this will remain a special memory for all my days, for that reason alone.
