There were ultimately two teams of participants. Prince Darren, Lady Lydia, and Lord Tobias. The other team was Lord Valkieri, Lady Aislin, and Sir Silas. I am not quite sure what Prince Darren's idea of victory is, but he did not receive one last night. There were a total of six questions, three by me and three from Duchess Nadia. Lady Aislin's team answered the first, third, and fourth, and a half point to the sixth question. Prince Darren's team answered the second and a half point for the third question. I was drinking, as were we all, but I can count quite proficiently.
For the record, Lord Valkieri, I believe the event went well and I would not consider it a 'disaster' at all. You have just become my new project. I fear that you were never taught how to behave with any sort of etiquette or polite decorum, and instead of being upset or angry at your remarks, you are now mine.

There was no brawl to finish out Duchess Nadia and Princess Jaenelle's quiz, nor was there a bonfire or scantily clad women. But there was plenty of drink to be had, and thus there I was. I single handedly held up my team and brought us to victory, of course, even if the Princess claimed we were "all" winners. What a crock of shit, that.

Relationship Note on Abbas
Perhaps what pleases me most is his talent for conversation. Okay, maybe I am not being entirely forthright, allow me to explain: One cousin is the perfect listener, while Abbas is marvelous to engage in deep, often more thoughtful discord. Between the pair of them, I have the best of both worlds.
What? Oh, well of course he's good looking as well. I don't care a whit about ugly people.
Though I do wonder how he wound up with those grey streaks within his hair...

There a couple of spars on the horizon as well, when time allows, that I am looking forward to. I have a new blade, expertly crafted by Mistress Ida, that I have yet to use that desperately requires a first blooding. That the sword was a gift, it seems suiting that its initiation come from friendly competition rather than hostile violence. Perhaps it will find a proper name in the process. All good swords should have a name, and I have never owned the like of Mistress Ida's craftsmanship.

I'm sharing the designs with several of my fellow guildmembers. If I'm so easily inspired by them, perhaps they are too?

Relationship Note on Darren
We're taken to meeting up at the Spirits, where he says I help to add some levity to his day. Still, for all he claims that he values my friendship, there are still secrets he doesn't share. Silly secrets that don't need to be secret at all. It would probably help him if it wasn't a secret, but I suppose it's his life!
PS I need to remember to check in about the leathers.

Interest in the Fencing Competition I wish to hold has been trickling in. It is worth noting that even aspiring swordsmen have a chance to pull of a win against a veteran warrior; a saber or foil is much different than a long sword!

Relationship Note on Joscelin
I was graciously gifted a piece of jewelry from her shop and was admittedly stunned by how perfectly chosen it was. It spoke volumes about her ability as an artisan and it certainly placed the person who granted it to me in extra high regard as a result. I've similarly used her shop for a token gift for someone else and it was remarkable what she could do. Never doubt the effect an amazing piece of jewelry might have, eh?

Anyhow, seeing as the order came from the owner of my favorite whiskey dive, I figured a bit of prodding here and there wouldn't hurt anything. Glancing over the evident plans, with the help of more than a couple of shared shots, brought truth to the matter, though. The Grayhope ability to play markets is always a little impressive, but it's how they managed to secure the Tavern, after all.
Sir Silas' craftsmanship is remarkable and worthy of trend, and the extra coin is all the better if it can coax him into setting up more game nights.

Lord Valkieri caught onto the sport remarkably quickly and I don't know that anyone aside from Princess Valencia could make such sliding efforts as graceful. Lady Sylphie is a great commentator though, even if she won off my loss. I'm a little annoyed that Sir Silas managed to hit every single one of my spikes, but the guardsman has evident practice and if anyone is expected to save people or restore order or something--
Would I do it again? Absolutely. Especially if waterfalls are involved or other chances for wager. Maybe the crab cakes shouldn't be brought out until the end though.

The cards make her the Queen of Hearts. I almost need not write anything further. This will be enough of a reminder.
My deck says: the Empress, inverted. The only shadow on an otherwise mutually beneficial business relationship. I hope to entertain many of her noble friends.

I enjoy that.
Two of Hearts I read for him and I believe it to be true. Eerily accurate reading in all counts, actually. He left me itching with curiosity, or perhaps the niggling desire to punch him. I find it so difficult to tell those two things apart.
Ah, wealth.
Think on him now and I draw the Knave of Clubs. I don't doubt it. The man is a weapon. Does he know what to do with himself?
Flip the deck:
Knight of Swords. I doubt that not, but it does seem a little on the nose.
If his skepticism becomes the fashion, though, I'm going to need to come up with a better professional scheme.

Remember the Five of Diamonds. Not a frivolous one, he says. He tips well. I like a man who knows how to spend his silver on me.
The Chariot, Reversed. I am no stranger to the metaphysics of motion. He seems friendly and straightforward. When we meet again, I will, too, yes? Of course, yes.
