Relationship Note on Victus
A man perhaps that is beyond reproach as one of the most subtle and deadliest men I have ever met. His sheer presence is the raw and epitome of house Thrax and that of the living representation of the Sea Serpent that threatens all the ships upon the water. A dangerous thing in the turmoil of the world that is right now and yet the profits seen are splendid to be seen with him as the head of the house.

I was born one of the Abandoned. Perhaps that gives me a different perspective in regards to the current situation than others. However, I don't think it really requires any thought, any decision, to decide to help refugees, regardless of whether or not they're part of the Compact. We're -all- the people of Arvum, and all of us face the same threats. The mistakes of the past do not need to be repeated, in deciding that some are more worthy than others. It's time to bridge the rifts, not widen them.

Yo truly are the fox of thee north in every way. And I hope you find your happiness, no matter who it is you find to have it with. You are a fox among princesses and we all want to know what you say and seek your advice. I have enjoyed or conversations and hope they never end, because I learn something each and every time .

Relationship Note on Muiryn
I had heard h was a beast of a man, Elk or bear, I still cannot decide which it is that pulls at the imagination more. Now that the tattooed giant has bared it all. I suppose it could have been worse if I hadn't gotten out of the way in the last moment and that others breached the subject of his lack of britches or much of wearing anything at all. When that was done he had cooled down some but then l get told no, but then maybe yes to courting Neve if I find some flower around Greenwood, and hearing Neve say there is no flower like that there. IS it really a goose chase you send me on or is there a chance there that even f the task is difficult you might be rooting for me?

Relationship Note on Acacia
She's got the looks, the smile, the charms. She's got those eyes that see a little more than they should.
She still got Lil' Mae to make me fat in that drawing.
I kinda like her, but I think I hate her a little.

Relationship Note on Neve
She is like thee wind that carries the breath of life and thee solid feel of thee ground under my feet. The spirits have most certainly laid her across my path and said she is your match. A fire of unbridled fury when she is told she can't have something and pleasing beyond measure when she is happy and content. Most times when I am around it is the later, yet I have seen the former in all its glory and danger. Even when drawing a bow to threaten her father over giving his support to our wishing to be together. And -nether- has been resolved as of yet.
She is my heart and soul and I do not know what I would do without her.

Relationship Note on Eirlys
It's easy to take things like family for granted. They've always been there so you just assume they always will be, and that nothing can touch them. To be sure, too, we Greenmarchers are no strangers to death and loss. It's a part of the way of living. But after this last battle, when I look around and see all these folk mourning the ones that didn't come back, I'm only selfishly grateful that you and Fia did.

I know that you will go to the ends of the earth and back. I know that you will climb the mountain and descend into the ravine. I know that you will choose the path of the righteous and that yours is a true heart. The spirits brought us together and guide your path and at the end of your quest I will be waiting.

Relationship Note on Orazio
I met the Father Priest at the baths and at first I was real nervous cause I don't always ... well. I just get real nervous is all. But he wasn't just nice and polite, he said some real important things. I never thought much of these God's you have when they're just stories to me. But maybe they aren't just stories after all. Maybe like the spirits they work to remind us of things we might forget otherwise, and what's really important. He reminded me that sometimes the hardest thing you can do is just to have faith in other people, but it's also the most important thing.

Relationship Note on Muiryn
There aren't often times when I think I might be mad at your forever. There aren't often times where I go shooting arrows between your legs either.. specially when you forgot where you put your britches. Sometimes I think you just like being ornery for the sake of it. But then I realize it's you're way of doing what you've always done best for me... So whatever you may think about my listening or not... I do, and I always will. I'll always be my 'Da's girl.

Yes.
While I am grieving the man I loved, who died fighting corrupted shavs, tell me how I do not care about the common people of Arvum. Tell me this while I was on the walls doing my best to protect the city while he was out there dying. Tell me this while I patrol the walls. Tell me this before even asking me my opinion.
Decide it for me, because you who has never met knows my heart and my mind.

Some advice for future-fathers, or fathers of girls too young yet to slam doors in your face.
Have a daughter in your life, and patience hasn't got a chance.
She'll come to you with something ask for your opinion, your advice as they do. That's all good and well obviously. So you think on it, make your reply good and concise, and she'll listen very nicely..
..then go out and do precisely what she wants.

I can see the storms like crashing lightning over your horizon.
This city, these times and those horrors will pound away like water on the rocks. Changes come, kid, nature has it's way -- you know that better than anyone. Just make sure you keep your dignity, take the higher road. Take it like a man. The man I know you are.
Just a broken heart, kid.
This pain will pass away.

Relationship Note on Audric
Since I arrived wide-eyed, and drunk in Arx, a small town village girl from the valleys with no clue, the Captain General has always been good to me. He took me under his wing, clothed me, helped me acquire a Patron, gave me work. And he saved my life. Not many people probably know the last bit. Of course, like with anything with him, it came with a price. But if it wasn't for him, I'd of never of been able to afford it.
I would not name many in Arx my friend, but Audric is one of them. No, not a friend, he is family to me. Which means that I sometimes get to yell at him, and he gets to yell at me. And at the end of it, we're still okay. There's a lot that is going to change over the next few months, and I hope that this is not one of them.
Nothing but Elysia itself is better than a friend who is truly a friend.

I cannot help but continue to think about how things could have been, how they should have been, and how they are now. Her last words here echo in my mind;
"I ache."
Her heart was bigger than anyone knew. The love I felt for her was not just out of respect. We were to be family. She was to marry my brother and together they would unite the Lyceum. She should still be here, he should still be here.
Instead there is a hole in my heart. There is a void in my soul and every time I pass his room, I press my palm to the thick wooden door and draw in his scent that lingers in the Villa. My brother. He is gone. We do not know to where, for how long, or if ever he should return.
I ache, still.
I cannot begin to fathom the loss of those who perished in recent battles. Did we not just speak yesterday? At least it seems so. Did you not just tell me how grateful you were for my brother who saved your brother and now they are all gone.
Gods give me strength - I am losing my faith.

Relationship Note on Pietro
My dearest Pietro. I loved you as much as I loved your brother, though in a different way. You were the light that first brought a smile to my face after I fell into darkness.
For the rest of my life, I will turn, thinking how much I wish to tell you something, or to hear your laughter, or to get you to stop flopping onto the furniture --
But you won't be there.
I don't know what to do about that.

I have heard it a few times since coming here. Silks. Offhanded, like it is not even an insult. Like it is simply the way things are.
It interests me. Silk is beautiful, it is fine, it is slick under my hands: a soft, sliding fabric, exquisite against bare skin. It's light. If woven well, it can be deceptively strong. But--
For the most part, while a display of elegance, of beauty, of style -- it is useless. It won't keep you warm. It isn't armor. It may serve gloriously in appearance as clothing, but for the practical elements of a garment, it is, if anything, of less value than sturdier, warmer cloth.
We owe protection and justice to those whose honor we hold. A liege owes his vassal this, and we as offshoots, as threading branches of the liege's power, how can we owe less? It is the first Law of Limerance. Yet if you say it to many of the common people of Arx whom I have met this week ... I believe they might laugh, and I can offer them no blame for so doing.
Wealth is not merely wealth to be spent or squandered. It is privilege. It has purpose. It should have purpose.
We should not be silk. We should be steel, to guard and protect, rivets and supports down to the struts.
I'm sorry, Limerance, that we are failing you.

I am not sure what I expected but I feel like he understands me, not just the fighter but the female parts of me. He is easy to talk to. I would like him to meet Fiachra and Alis. I like spending time with him. Maybe he and Fia could go hunting or we all can.
