I am disappointed in all of you. Every. Single. One.

But especially you, tin-man.

It seems the great city of Arx is in need of oils.

I know a cry for help when I hear one.

Gracious denizens take heed! Your oily needs will be satisfied at my wagon, blended by hand to your specific needs/desires!

Bein' common, my legacy will be exactly that. Common. Lowbrow even. Shinwack, cornhole, noooooodling. Silks are hilarious. Keep it up.

Those of us who must record, file and remember both white and black journals would like to remind the good people of Arx that messengers exist to transport messages directed to other good people in Arx, and while Vellichor does not judge (that I have heard or been informed) it is always good to consider one's legacy before the witness of future Scholars, eager historians, and one's own ancestors.

you good people of Arx...really need to get laid. Or learn to properly make underhanded sexual-humor jokes. Or both. You're making me groan over here, and not in the good way.

I know little of Noodling, Shinwack or oiled up bear grappling, but I do feel as if the virtues of cornholing cannot be overstated. It is an activity anyone can enjoy.

Now sometimes yes someone will get a little excited and thier bag will burst and stuff gets everywhere but in the hole, but that is usually a mistake that the inexperienced make. Truly great cornholers rely on finesse, timing and patience to finish in dramatic fashion.

Victus took me noodling once.

What he showed me was large. I was impressed.

But then I dropped it, and we both went hungry.

You said it, I didn't.

I'm neither confirming or denying that.

So this is why whenever I ask for chicken for dinner, it always ends up being so fucking dry.

I don't want to know what the damn expenses have been for just olive oil alone.

The confessional has been very busy this morning, and the priests keep wiping their hands as if they feel greasy. Something something, olive oil, cornhole, ha-ha. If I have to go over to the Redrain estate to beat women off of the Prince of Farhaven with a stick, I would like to remind various and sundry that I hold the Isles cup for Shinwack, a game played by gods-fearing islanders in times of exceptional pique, the name of which pretty much tells you all that you need to know about it. Rather like the game of pitchpot, played by angry wives. The tallow would really only decrease friction. I view this as a tactical advantage.
By the by, little brother, if you are reading this, I'm utterly certain that your wife does not care who you undress at the pool. You see dogs chasing carts, but never driving them. And it occurs to me that Thrax men are so pleased with their skill in handling their noodles, they never consider what becomes of their reputation when someone comes along who can hand it to them in a beach sling.

Sooo, are you saying if we have a cornholing extravaganza here at the manor it's possible Darren will show up oiled and in a thong, ready to go?

In a very short space in time, I have lost two people who took up important spaces in my life.

Lady Juliet was a friend who stood by me in the most tentative of times, and reminded me of the phrase "steel under silk". She had a way of making those around her feel beautiful, and I'm not sure I will ever meet someone as incredible as her again in my life. She painted me once in miniature, and we'd talked about a larger painting for the future, which now shall never be made. I weep for her loss, and celebrate her life.

Count Max was in some ways my friend, and certainly my ally. I'm sure he had ulterior motives; rare is the noble of Thrax who doesn't, but his intentions regarding the abolishment of thralldom were sincere, and he supported me without question when I asked him to do so.

(I think now of a fond and amusing memory - I think he tried to seduce me once. It was our first informal meeting. He made a great show of taking off his shirt.)

Life will go on, but there will always be the shadows of those we've had to leave behind.

Noodling? Really?

Oh, the mental images my family paints so vividly.

No wonder the olive oil is always gone from the kitchens and Darren smells so savory.

Oh, what fools we all have been. It's almost like one of Blacktongue's jokes.

Though I suspect the punchline will be much more bloody.

Relationship Note on Edain

Hey Edain,

I might have to have Marian note to you that there are some things that need to be kept to black journals.

You brought this on yourself, just saying. Can't hold it against the rest of us if you decided to make yourself a target.

And don't listen to what Darren says. He oils himself up just do it. Man walks around the villa in thong acting like some kind of bronzed god.

I have not met Prince Edain but I would find great amusement in hearing him explain to a crowd of people how to play a game called cornhole...
