Relationship Note on Sylvie

Lady Sylphie is Lady Cara's sister-in-law, another of that entwined pair of Lycene families from Gemecitta. I've only really met her in passing thus far, but she seems a pleasant enough conversationalist.

I'm also fairly certain she's unlikely to either poison my drink or stab me in the back! At least, for the moment. And I have friends in the Lyceum that I'm not entirely certain I can say that of.

Relationship Note on Viktarkim

I found Master Viktarkim waiting for me at the Training Center tonight, looking for a lesson in swordplay. I am glad to see him eager to learn; perhaps next time he'll defeat his opponents when he enters a tournament.

He managed to hit me once during our spar; he's already better than a few people I know.

Relationship Note on Victus

There is an old saying that a battle of wits is not worth fighting when your opponent comes unarmed.

Unfortunately it is seldom the case that any opponent is unarmed, it is simply that their weapon is too fragile or of such poor manufacture to be of any use.

Similarly unfortunate is the case where one is so intellectually dull that their weapon of choice, in a battle of wits, is a club with which they knock you down to their level and beat you with experience.

I shall have to keep a careful eye on this one, I suspect.

Sketches. Narrow eyes staring blankly. Wider eyes, faint hint of mirrored light. Eyes, smudged out, a gray mess on the parchment. A half-doused pyre, a criss-cross of damp wood. A struggling sapling in a disordered pile of dirt. A dog with a withered leg, panting, eager.

Relationship Note on Pietro

If there is one thing you can rely upon, it is Pietro Igniseri's refusal to compromise his courage for intelligence.

That blood better not have stained my marble.

Relationship Note on Vincere

I feel as if Vincere arrived at my chambers with a very different assumption that what I had in mind.

But it has been a long, long time since those days.

Relationship Note on Vincere

It's -- difficult to speak of my brother to anyone, in this way at least, but perhaps with Vincere it bears the least weight. I trust him -- and yes, even Pietro -- as I trust few people. He will be discreet. He will be...subtle. Which is what I need.

I wish that I could tell him the rest. I never doubt myself, not truly, but I know that anyone else would think me mad. No. For now, this is enough. This is enough to begin.

I find myself lying awake an awful lot of the time of late. Staring up a the ceiling. I awaken so early that I can hear the carts and shouts of people as they move to the marketplace to set up their stalls every morning.

I wish I could say what it was that keeps me from my rest. Ever since returning to the capital after so many long years away I have been unable to sleep comfortably. Perhaps I am simply unsuited yet to the bustling city life, so long have I been away. I do not know.

I do know, however, that if I find another kitten in my bedclothes, I will throw it from the tower window.

I've arrived. What a journey, and what a city! I've moved into a room at the Crown Apartments and once settled will seek audience with Anastasio Belardi in the hopes of mentorship. Now... where to find him, I wonder?

Relationship Note on Morrighan

Talented, funny, doesn't charge near enough for her work.

Relationship Note on Pietro

I met a man in the training room the other day. Pietro. His style was so energetically flamboyant, full of finesse and vigor. I knew the moment I saw him fight he was from the Lyceum. I may not indulge in the easy smile and the quick kind words Pietro does, but they are appreciated none the less. I offered to train with him and I hope he takes me up on the offer.

Relationship Note on Joscelin

Bubbly, talented jeweler. Lady Dawn's protege. Might become the Crafting Guildmaster. She still doesn't hold her drink too well.

Relationship Note on Gareth

Hmmmm. Maybe less insightful than I had hoped. It may be that it is -he- who is the cockroach. Time will tell, Prince or no.

Relationship Note on Aureth

This poor man fell from the thighs of the world's most forth-right, demanding woman in existence.

I'd pity him if I weren't so amused.

Relationship Note on Myrinda

I am thankful of the tea I drink every morning, the same tea most women drink in this city. I don't know if my nerves could handle you as a grand-dam to my children.


My hair would be stark white before they turned five.

Relationship Note on Joscelin

Don't you attempt to use big words on me, little missy. If you are going to jump my son's bones, I'm only going to consider you lucky if you end up with a full belly.

My darling lady, if a night of cavorting with your son leads to -just- a hangover, I would count myself lucky.

Relationship Note on Aureth

You are going to give me an aneurysm. Will that make you happy? Sending your mother into a home for doddering old fools?

I will not, however, object to grandchildren. I'm not going to live forever, you know.

Relationship Note on Joscelin

My darling girl, I hope that you know what you are doing, getting yourself involved in the scamp of a son of mine. I will be sorely disappointed if either of you hurt each other.

But, you are old enough now. You are smart enough, now. I will not police your life. I only want what is best for you. That includes anything and everything you want, even if you wake up with a hangover.

I forget how long I've known this woman; practically my whole life. It's an honor to know her.
