Relationship Note on Barric

Second cousin and Sword of Bastion. We trained together as children before I put sword and bow away, trading them for quill and parchment. Like me, he came to his destiny early. I do not doubt that it was always in his fate to be named Sword, just as it was always in mine to support and shelter my brother as his Voice. But I suspect both of us would have been glad for more time to prepare, to better ourselves, to be ready for the challenges these days bring.

Still, he serves honorably and he serves well. And when he believes in himself as much as Alaric did the day he gifted our ancestral sword, he will be a force to be reckoned with in Arvum.

Relationship Note on Augustus

My great-uncle Augustus has returned to us from Lenosia. Though he spent most of my life there, I remember him well from visits because one does not forget a man like Uncle Augustus. He is upright and exemplary, the living example of what Grayson can and should be, with nobility etched in every line.

I lament, sometimes, how deeply his words can cut but he uses them with the intention of improving, of guiding, of lifting a person into their fullest potential.

Relationship Note on Nadia

Duchess Nadia and the House of Nightgold seem to be among the few Northern families that profess to follow the ways of the Pantheon instead of Shamanism. She is polite, intelligent, and curious.

Relationship Note on Sylvie

I met this Lady while i was in the bank depositing my winnings from the fencing competition. We proceeded to discuss how the remainder of the competition went as she had, for some reason, left before the end. It was an enjoyable meeting, and I ended up buying her a gift of hairpins. We met days after I gifted her with the hairpins so she could show me how she had had a gown made to match the hairpins I had gifted her with. She's a widower and I think looking for friends in the city who se likely wouldn't meet elsewhere.

What would I do without you?

When I was a boy, House Rubino in Gemecitta was the home I had when I could not be at home. I grew up there on the hill, overlooking the sprawl of the city, listening to hoofbeats on the stones.

If I hadn't gone there, maybe I wouldn't have become a man, I don't know. I know I wouldn't have become the same man. I love what that childhood helped me to become, and I have lost no love for Valkieri, or for Cara, or for the hills of Gemecitta.

But a Rubino's house is not my house. I am a guest here. It is not my home.

I must remember.

There is only one thing in this city that is home to me.

And I must be a better behaved guest, I suppose.

I've managed to pin Morrighan down and talk her into making me some clothing. It took a bit of doing to get this accomplished, only a Northern woman would be so willing to speak her mind toward a Prince of the house she serves. On top of this, she decided she wanted to test her mettle in combat. She thinks that she did horribly. She did not. Granted, she couldn't get past my sword to do damage, and the two times she managed to sneak in a blow she couldn't hit hard enough to get past my armor, but I think she did quite well, the fight lasted a bit longer than I would have figured it should have. I'll have to look into getting her some actual training with the weapon she carries.

Relationship Note on Morrighan

She's still annoying at times, but with the way only a Northern woman can find ways of being annoying. She's a free spirit, I should realize this prior. I believe that Morrighan is undeniably ready to do damn near anything for the Redrains. She's let it be known she's even willing to go so far as to put her life on the line to defend the family, and the girl is good with a dagger.

Prince of Ahj'on, married to Princess Lou Grayson. Strange but very friendly man who has given me warm welcome. He is a researcher, I gather.

Relationship Note on Freja

Very interesting Redrain Princess. Prickly pride, fast to misconstrue and take offense. I have been sent to learn things from her and if possible, to better knit ties between House Grayson and Redrain. I never imagined myself an envoy but I must learn many new things.

I'm not sure which I'm more excited for... the festival, or the upcoming Mirror's Masquerade. I always get that fluttery, squishy feeling in my gut around this time of year. Perhaps I should put that admission in my Black Journal, to maintain my -obviously- cruel, heartless, evil monster reputation. That is still what people are saying, yes?

So today I received a missive from Prince Fergus who offered to spar me in the training center. An opportunity to brawl? Count me in. Turns out I might regret that later - it all depends on how much I'm hurting tomorrow morning. To be certain, I learned much from the fight, and I think I'm going to take a page from Ida's book (I think it was Ida) and put a hiatus on learning how to work with different textiles. So, no seasilk for a while, but I'll get back to that, eventually. For now I think I'm going to rest up and go back to work on orders for the shop. I hope I can move, tomorrow. The Prince hits -hard-....and he whacked me on the back of the head. Going to pay him back for that. Maybe I'll put those flamboyant feathers in his hat, or on the ass of his pants. Remember who tailors your clothes, Ferg.
