Relationship Note on Asger
The Crovane Duke: He holds true to stories of their..nature? Rough, brisk, and unforgiving - not that I am complaining. I find our opinions line up quite well the more we talk.

Relationship Note on Elyse
It is so very, very nice to have my second in command back in the city. Now to foist all the paperwork off on her!

Sorry, the wager got cut short. We'll find something to bet on again.

Soup stones are catching on with the Guard, but I just found some fool who'd plucked a mossy rock out of the dirt and stuck it straight in a stew. I managed not to lose my temper, barely. I said it around the barracks, and I'll say it here as well. If someone wants a soup stone come talk to me and I'll help you get one. A CLEAN one.

Relationship Note on Aureth
Lost a cousin today to the Faith... but we all gained a brother, I suppose. Aureth's scared me over the last few months that I've been back in the city, but now that I'm starting to understand some of what's going on around him, I suppose I feel lucky to be close to someone doing such incredible things.
I have to ask though, does he piss holy water now?

The city is..strange. It's an adjustment. The people are not what I expected, but then I suppose I was not sure what to expect. The Redrain have been hospitable and kind, for the most part, and I am glad to see Petal striving and her business taking off. But, I do worry that we have fled from danger to danger. I have pledged myself to stand upon the wall and provide what aid I can as a volunteer for Redrains troops.

It's strange being south...I begin to miss the North.
Yet I have met so many here...when the time comes, or rather if the time comes,
I do believe it will be difficult to leave it behind if necessary.

I wonder, how many days it will be before they push. How long before we must stand and fight, or fall, and this will all be decided. The waiting is the hardest part, and it tests each moment our resolve to persevere in the face of what is to come.

I've watched a fair amount of sparring matches over the past few weeks and months. It puts into good relief what I am giving up, what I am, and what mistakes I made. Watching others train as I so casually did months ago makes me think about my oath to my house. The reflection is good, the itch to be back to where I was before is good too. I think its all needed.

Relationship Note on Asger
I find Duke Asger Crovane to be an interesting and humourous man with a good head on his shoulders. I've greatly enjoyed the friendship we have created and look forward to stronger bonds between Redrain and Crovane as time marches on.

I will be grateful when this siege is over, and victory is had. When we can throw open the gates and breathe again.
I think the very first thing I will do is take Bear out for a long ride.

Always be practicing. Keeps the skills sharp. Especially the skills you're going to be needing when those siege towers start heading this way.
If your cousin gets annoyed, well, she was probably going to be annoyed by -something- you did anyway, so it might as well be for a good cause.

Relationship Note on Aureth
My brother swore himself to the Queen. Today he adds vows to the Faith as a whole concept. As an institution. A priest formally and before the Compact.
I mark this as a record. I would say 'in a sense, this changes nothing', but life is change, and my brother has transformed in the past year. He is still Aureth, narrative is continuity, his rage and his curiosity are constants, but his purpose is discovered. He's bright with purpose.
And this is wonderful.
I remember the tarot cards turned to ash. I know how you don't use them any more and I never finished the new set. Tapped out at about-- a third of the needed paintings? They're up above the shop, long dry, a metaphor toward understanding and sight that you no longer need. I'm glad to have them, though. Maybe for a wall, sometimes. Nostalgia, a glance back without weight.
You're more than you ever imagined, than I ever imagined, brother, and I thought I was rather thinking you up. More fool me.
I love you, Aureth. May the Queen and all the Pantheon watch over you, but not sweep you home any time soon. Please stay safe.

Relationship Note on Malena
Mistress Malena Black is a skilled healer and herbalist. She also recently helped saved my life during an attempt by assassins sent by our enemies. Feeling that I owed her for that, I spoke with her about rewarding her. She immediately declined, claiming it was her duty to keep me safe. So, I rewarded her by taking her as one of my proteges and putting her to work for House Velenosa. She shows promise, let's see if that promise happens to deliver.

Relationship Note on Aleksei
A rather unusual young Crownsworn: leather-clad, apparently of knightly training, yet of priestly vocation. Forthright, with unfashionable interests (even to the extent of finding my own academic researches intriguing), and willing to be publicly supportive of Prodigals. I must say that I rather approve. Not, I admit, that the approval of a widowed bookworm is likely to be relevant to many in the broader Compact.

There are some in the world with more angst than brains. Those who have grown up among the rabble and in piss-filled troughs. They can end up there once more, much quicker than they imagine if they want to try to be passive aggressive. Or they can take a trip back to the House which they came. They're already quite close to it. Savages who don't know when to hold their tongue can end up with their own affairs suddenly brought to a full closure. A sore throat can quickly silence a voice as well.

On this day, of this year, I am sworn to the gods. I am a Brother of the Faith of the Pantheon. My work on Their behalf has already begun, but now it is official, and accomplished by rite, and recorded.
I knew this would be my path now, but it is a weight lifted, almost, that I have taken these first steps.
I've passed on the bar to Fortunato and into the hands of the Grayhope family. I have passed on the merchant concerns to Magpie and Moira to handle. And I have finished moving myself into the house on Legate Row.
Damn, I hope I didn't forget anything.
