Relationship Note on Jasher
I met the Prince at one of our Scholar meetings. He seems to be interested in a lot of curious subjects. I've debated if I should partner with him sometime on research.

Having now witnessed the wedding of Prince Laric Grayson and Lady Cara Ashford, I can attest that they make a smart match. Their vows were simple, sweet, and sincere. For a moment, with eyes closed, I imagined they were my own. What princess has not wondered about her own wedding? I can only hope that when my smart match is made, it brings as much joy to House Valardin as was beheld between House Grayson and House Ashford tonight.

This will never be: Pietro Grayson.
I did not realize, how desperately, until this moment that I had wanted it to be. It would have likely not been were he not gone from me. Now, even the utterly infinitely small chance is gone.
Yes, someday I will marry. I will do my duty for my family. I will take a wife and provide heirs. I will be a faithful and loyal husband, if not loving. Pietro Igniseri took my love with him. When I marry whoever my bride shall be will know this. I will lie to no one about this.
However, marriage is the furthest thing from my mind right now. I shall not marry any time soon. There is too much at stake, and it is not pressing that I marry. Marriage can wait until after the war is won. Until the monsters are vanquished. Until I no longer need to walk the walls and wait to call the defense of the city.
Still.
I wish this could have been:
Prince Pietro Grayson, beloved husband.

I did not participate in the celebrations that honored the people that plan for war, in full. However, I thought it was nice to visit and show respect in my own way. It was not one of my best nights, I was not as social and excited as I should've been, but I think it was a wonderful event.

Relationship Note on Bianca
I have known Lady Bianca since I came to Arx and joined the Scholars. She is one of the best friends a person can have, and very refined. I am happy for her, with her new decision to be a Godsworn, and I am confident she will do her best.

Relationship Note on Laric
The High Inquisitor/Minister of Loyalty/Prince of Grayson is a busy busy man. I am honoured that he found time to talk to me, but I find myself with more questions coming out of the meeting.
Still a connection made, that cannot be bad.

Relationship Note on Max
He is smart and knows what he wants as well as how to get it. Doing away with the illusion of power and authority is a burden which when shed can unleash one into the world; I can make great things happen with this one.

Relationship Note on Valerius
My favorite. Fools will look at him and fail to see the Thrax blood burning in his veins but he has already conquered adversity that would have broken smaller men. I expect a lot from him, more than he knows can be expected. He will surprise many when he assumes his proper place at the table.

Relationship Note on Harmon
Sometimes you meet someone you just click with. Even if all their candles aren't lit in their candelabra and the wax is dripping all over the place. That's Harmon. A scrawny kid with a brilliant fractured mind, he and I get along in a weird way. He's devoted to science and research and finding new ways to fuck over our opponents as much as I am. He speaks in thought, with his mind spinning so quickly all the words can't find their way to his mouth. Doesn't matter, I understand his thought process and don't need the rest. I think I've given him some of the answers he's been seeking for his whole life and opened a whole new world of questions.

Relationship Note on Driskell
Say what you want about the man, he's reliable and flexible, both rare qualities in anyone these days but nearly unique in combination. Sure enough he harbors the usual set of theories about supernatural effects and monsters but such are expected among sailors, and it has never impeded him from carrying on an assignment.

Relationship Note on Castiel
Driskell can remember the time he first met this dark prince of Thrax, serving on a ship south of Darkwater as both men were at port. A very pragmatic royal, not prone to brash thinking or acting without all the consequences planned for. He owns his own small fleet, and on occasion Driskell has been called on to assist on certain matters for the prince.

Relationship Note on Tristram
Prince Tristram and myself have been good friends. I hope that we are able to remain such. He is blessed by Gloria. I have respect for him. It breaks my heart to see him in discord with my family. Even before this challenge, I was not ready for marriage. After this challenge, it is out of the question. I have deep sorrow over how this went. I hold some guilt and bare much blame in this situation. Prince Tristram asked me to marry him and I told what amounted to, I am not ready for marriage now. That left room for hope and that hope lead him astray. It was hope that I gave him and I am sorry.

Relationship Note on Ainsley
I love my cousin Ainsley deeply.
I believe that he will and should get married. I would like to see his wife join house Grayson, because I couldn’t bare the loss of him. He will make a wonderful husband and have fine children. His ability to love both sexes in no way will hinder his ability to have a family and to love a wife.
He is also a fine warrior.

Relationship Note on Calista
I don't like where we left things. I stole away like a thief in the middle of the night, and within weeks, was nearly killed and then married. I love her. I really do, and I know of anyone you can understand that. But my damnable honor... Maybe it would be better, if I just besmirched you and walked away. But I won't. I can't do that.
We should talk, so that I can explain. Or, at least, try to salvage my honor. I still wear that compass. I just want you to know that it wasn't a game to me. I don't even know if you consider it that way. Perhaps I'm only speaking to my own guilt.
I don't know.

Many things...
One. Harmon has joined us here in Arx to help look into the mysterious shit that seems to be my second job these days. The kid is brilliant, but cracked. Doesn't make him any less helpful though. There's a reason he's a ward of the family.
Two. Maybe my decision is for the best seeing as I'm about to go into another major campaign; last thing I need right now is emotional bullshit clouding my rational judgement.
Three. I wish I had such a carefree and responsibility-less life to care about duels and relationships and weddings and shit. For fuck's sake, people, there's an army of monsters and half-men marching towards us. Go ahead and keep bickering over who said what and whose wick was dipped in what wax. You go ahead and keep being concerned with petty day to day life. I'll keep your soldiers safe and your warriors as whole as I can. You're welcome.
Four. Fuck you Anze Redrain for being shirtless in the bloody cold. Make us all look bad why don't you? But then again, I can't blame Caly for keeping you half-dressed. Even if that's weird coming from your Auntie. My girl has taste, can't lie there.

Relationship Note on Kima
I know the decision you made was not an easy conclusion to come to. Setting aside your dreams and aspirations for the needs of your family shows your true moral character and reveals just how brightly it shines. Saik and Malvici have always been especially close. Under your leadership I look forward to continued strength between us.
