Relationship Note on Luis

Lord Luis Igniseri has a way about him. With his sharp sense of humour, not-too-formal manners, and general ease of company, Lord Luis is both amiable and friendly. In short order, I believe we're becoming fast friends, and all through a chance meeting when the sun disappeared.

Relationship Note on Luca

Like a brother, this one.

If he were to cry, I would mock him for it, but I would probably give him a shoulder to cry on.

I would then ask for the silver to have the leather unstained. That said, with how rare anything upsets him, I am on the lookout for teardrops of dragonweep.

Relationship Note on Valery

Timid, soft-spoken but altogether kind. Her mannerisms make me wonder what cruelty she has witnessed in her life and what has brought her here, but it is all for the better now that she has entered Redrain's service. Her knowledge of the wilds is valuable, her dedication to its flora and fauna.

Now to get her to see that the smallest nudge can start the avalanche.

Does battle mend a shattered heart?

Probably not, but at least challenge can give distraction and perhaps accomplishment give some sort of direction.

If nothing else, imagining Fawkface's head on every Bringer or shav I kill will at least make me smile.

It's the little things that keep life worth living.

I think the night before the battle is the worst... nothing but the darkness in which to argue your reasoning for surviving the coming melee.

But regardless of how convincing you are to the uncaring void, in that darkness is the reason that you may not... it haunts you, snatching away truly restful sleep.

More whiskey is in order...

Relationship Note on Sparte

There has never been such an unassuming guardsmen... when, in a way, makes things amusing to watch when he exceeds all expectations.

No one expects the farmer soldier to best the boastful master swordsman. But I guarantee that will eventually happen.

Relationship Note on Reese

Princess Reese has been a great asset to the Iron Guard ever since she has joined. She is endearing, kind, and has quickly become a formidable combatant. She has helped bring several recruits into our fold and checks in with me frequently on the assignments we undertake. I have no doubt she will reach whatever goals she sets for herself, with flying colors.

Relationship Note on Aleksei

I seem to be running into Sir Aleksei rather often these days! It would seem we have a few interests in common. Fortunately he's a fundamentally good-natured fellow, so it's starting to feel quite natural to work with him even if we don't have any actual organizational sort of bonds between us.

I think I'm also definitely gaining some insight as to why his life seems to be as chaotic as it does.

Stopped by my dear elder sister's studio for a quick visit today while I was nearby on an errand, it's been far too long since we had a chat.

Of course, I almost immediately received a gentle interrogation about how my love life was doing. Ahh, family!

(Caprice, if you're reading, I don't kiss and journal either.)

Today my path brought me across the Shrine to Mangata and I was glad to have found it. There is peace beneath her branches. Listening to the birdsong and watching the fish swim in the koi pond was more soothing than I thought I might feel on land. I shall make this a daily ritual, something about that spring makes me feel so safe and comforted.

May your hopes find safe harbors.

Relationship Note on Jeremiah

I had personally sought out Master Jeremiah and found him perfectly ensconced between inkwells and paperwork. It paints a worthy picture of someone who works in the capacity he does upon the Council. The husband of Bethany Mercier, he struck me as someone hard working, if somewhat youthfully preoccupied. I've browsed through some of the writings he's completed in the Stacks and assume with a mind like that, getting all those mental meanderings all into proper spoken word is a more daunting task. He has rather strong, pointed goals and speaks of understanding the meaning of compromise. Whether or not that's true or not is something time will tell. That kind of game has never been one with a short, easy resolution. He's one that I'd love to mind-comb over time, and perhaps find a more solid friendship with. Again. We'll see, no?

Travel can change you. In fact, beyond tragedy, travel is perhaps the most potent harbinger of personal change. It is at the same time both beautiful and strange that this is true.

Though I am not surprised by how often beauty and strangeness seem to arrive intertwined, travel is something that would appear to be rather innocuous and common. But it is not. I am consistently surprised by the stationary nature of those that I meet, both physically and mentally.

I was born to ride the waters. It is in my blood. And my father's blood before me. For a while, it was all I knew...

As the sea reflects the sky and all who gaze into it, those who ride it are also given an opportunity to reflect upon themselves. I feel as if my most recent journey to Maelstrom has changed me in ways that I have yet to comprehend. That must be a surprisingly common thing. Changing without knowing how.

It had been too long since I felt the rhythm of the ocean beneath my feet. There is something so dead about the land. But the ocean? The ocean feels so alive... As much as I have started to see Arx as my home, it will never feel as familial as the sea.

It's odd. I find myself reflecting upon the very nature of reflection itself.

What could it mean?

Relationship Note on Valencia

The Princess is more than she seems at a glance. A joyous person who adores her roots - I have rarely heard of the North being praised the way she yearns for it - she strikes me as the type who will return loyalty tenfold if she is given it. I hope the realities of our world do not change that one; it would be a shame.

Relationship Note on Juliet

I finally had the chance to meet the Lady Fidante, and the opportunity did not disappoint. It makes me hopeful that the connection between her Salon and the Scholars can be forged into one of strength in communication and knowledge, to encourage informed debate on the pressing issues of the day for Arx. I look forward to a more official change to sit and discuss with her, and am left with little doubt we might spend hours speaking on a variety of subjects.

Relationship Note on Cristoph

I know that my ideas on things are different, my lord, but you'll find that if you humor me and allow me to show you my point of view; we will be fast allies. In expanding Lyonesse holdings, we expand yours as well and offer up the Oathlands the opportunity to flourish under the helm of our direction. I hope our upcoming conflict will bear fruit as well, perhaps giving up a much needed victory and vital information.

Relationship Note on Anabelle

Oh sister, how the times have indeed changed and the carefree nature we once enjoyed, dashed upon the timely hourglass sands. We must stay strong, together. I hope you don't lose sight of this. I can come off shrewd and assertive at times, but only in the best interest of our House.

Relationship Note on Demura

The Marquessa I have met is a curious woman. Part of a house known for its people's martial abilities, she seems to want to patron me of all people. I have accepted, and she is now sponsoring me and my shoppe.

Relationship Note on Julea

I'm always running into Julea at the training center, and she introduced herself a flamesmith, which is a way cooler way to say blacksmith than I've ever heard. She has one of the best, most coolest weapons I've ever seen. It was diamondplate!! She suggested we spar more, and I'm pretty sure she's gonna embarrass me. The littlest blades always take me apart the fastest.
