Relationship Note on Calaudrin
I owe him a favor for how he assisted Vance though. And perhaps a kick, for educational purposes. I'd say dance lessons, but Guards who are graceful and adept at running across buildings aren't nearly as entertaining as those who do things bards often forget.

I don't think I'll repeat what she said, but it stung. It stung like a knife with a blade laced in salt being slowly driven into my tender, fragile heart.
I am wounded... on the inside.

And I gave them my usual answer: that nowadays we should always be ready, when you never know when you might wish you were armored. But the thing is, that's not the truth.
Or not the whole truth, anyway.
The truth is, I stopped when my face was scarred. I think it started as a shield. A woman with a scarred face wearing armor looks like someone who's ready to meet and challenge the world, someone prepared. But a woman with a scarred face in silks? In a dress? An object of pity. And there are few things worse to see in someone's eyes than pity.
After a certain point, though, it just started to feel like me. The leather armor and sword have become as much a part of me as my arm, my eyes. In some ways, I feel naked and defenseless without the armor now.
But sometimes... sometimes I do miss it. Just a bit.

That's my gift to you, Elly. I'm writing a whole fictitious backstory, when you fade into mythology, they'll have proof of your existence with clear, precise descriptions but the legend's own sister: me.
I love you, you terrible, icy bitch. I hope it's a good day for you.

I was told to tell them to mind their own business and stop reading my journals.
I am easy to tease, only I wish I wasn't.
Good things happened to me:
- Ainsley saved my parents at the gates from Bringers. They are all safe.
- Silas gave me a gift, a perch for my birds.
- Cousin Barric asked me to help with his dog, Synder. He says he'll find me an archery teacher in return.
- My sweet sister gave me a cologne. It's very thoughtful.
- Brother Branan agreed to help me with a surprise gift for someone very important to me.
- I have a bookshelf and crammed it full of Brother Branan's books.
- I was invited to the Whisper House Songbird night.
- I was brave enough to send my Cousin a messenger about becoming a student of law. It should make my father happy.
- I had a nice talk with Silas.
- I have a guard. He is handy for carrying things.
Bad things:
- I tried moonshine and rum. I was teased about it.
- Knowing my sister is braver than me and that I will have to worry about her too, in the siege.
- I still haven't found a tailor.
- I was too embarrassed in Coldrain Crafts to ask for anything.
- My raptor poo'ed in my hair.
- I didn't talk long enough with Silas.
- I feel useless and struggle how to overcome that.

And it is in this that I am resolute we have not seen the last of our days with the enemies at our gates. They might be things out of nightmares we thought never existed, wield magic we thought was nothing but imagination... but we posses an inner strength that will have our own heroes rise as if they were from the pages of our storybooks. Without doubt, we will lose those close to us, and it will be as somber victory, but from this we will emerge stronger for it.

Your reputation and your actions during this siege will be remembered by the people you live with, the people you need to buy your wares during peace-time just as much as during a war, the same people who might call you kin, or neighbor, or ally. Your business will not survive if everyone remembers how you raised your prices and sold your goods to businesses that would turn it into something -other- than foodstuffs. For example: selling your grain to a distillery instead of a miller.
In the end, your money will amount to shit and it will run out in the aftermath as you spend it on body guards, security, and bribes to keep yourself safe.
It won't work, though. Silver is finite, you will run out without a source of income and you will not find it here in Arx if you let greed win out over compassion.
We need to work together. That's the only way any of us will get through this whole and hale.
Please note that the scholars may take some time preparing your journal for others to read.
