Relationship Note on Kaldur

I offer prayers to Lagoma and Limerance in gratitude that Duke Kaldur has joined our family. It is difficult to believe that the outcome of Prince Damik'uhl'daja's voyage to Sungreet will be anything other than the staging a massive invasion of Arvum, as the probability of House Helianthus's diplomacy turning back a fanatic and enraged enemy seems nigh impossible. Duke Kaldur's foresight is likely to be the great aegis of my people.

Deep scars are left on those who have seen the sorrowful fields of corpses, looked on flames consuming places once beheld in the comfort and happiness of childhood, sought for beloved friends and found them gone. Again a great and loathsome enemy, bent on destruction and enslavement, threatens the Isles, the Eastern Coast of Arvum, the Compact itself.

Duke Kaldur has worked tirelessly to prepare Stormwall for what is to come. He is an excellent military leader - an organized man of great energy, who has seen the axemen and women of Crovane receive expert training and well wrought wargear. I am grateful for his efforts and his genius in the arts of war.

As for myself, I will take up my swords and fulfill my oath made after witnessing the destruction of my homeland. Having no expertise nor talent for leadership of soldiers, I must make my mark on the battlefield. The great warriors of Arvum have trained me well, and made my body and soul a weapon for the protection of the Compact and the glory of our gods. Whether under the command of the Princess Marian, Princess Reese, Grandmaster Preston, or Prince Laric, it is my desire to fight from the beginning of this campaign till its end.

I continue my training with renewed vigor and purpose, and seek the blessing of the Mother Mercy, Sister Sophie, that I might be ready when the time comes.

Relationship Note on Porter

The impromptu birthday dinner for Porter was considered a success according to the staff. There was a Kennex asleep next to the pool, another decorated in purple make up upstairs. One passed out on the couch. A declaration of a certain cousin's -huge- talent, a stolen dog, and a new portrait that has been hung with great, if not a little drunken care in the hall of the house. It does make me worry what the brother's Kennex have planned for the pool party this next week.

Happy Birthday Captain Glitter Beard. We're so glad you're back in the city.

One cannot simply remain at a standstill. At some point, the grief has to end and be overcome with a more useful emotion. In my case, it was obsession. As long as I can work on something, I can move past the unresolved blackness that dots my memories. And so I work, and work, and work, until I might collapse all to leave my fatigued mind little chance to revel in those black moments. It is no different now, as I move to find work for myself amongst physicians, explorers, and my former home's new grand bazaar.

It's funny how kindness can come from an unlikely source at an unlikely time. Unexpected, perhaps, but certainly appreciated. It reminds me also that I must resist the urge to make quick, easy judgements about people when I do not know the details of their past.

Chance plays an underappreciated role in human affairs. Whether it is the weather or human error, unexpected events often change the course of history.

Relationship Note on Cyril

I hope that whenever one reads of such bleakness as this that the Dune Kingdoms bear, that it will only do that much more to remind us that the people of Eurus have suffered under as much cruelty and oppression as any in the world, and that we must receive those who are fleeing such depthless misery with all the compassion and care that Arvum can muster.

Arrived in the grand city at around mid-day yesterday. After a bit of aimless wandering (which is the best sort), I was able to locate House Seraceni. Kind Imogene already had a room waiting for me so once I was settled I immediately dozed off.

Last night proved interesting. In the more ways than one. My dog was willingly abducted. Twice. I think once was considered ransom. Finally, Lord Porter's birthday party at the Kennexes. I gifted him a marvelous painting, one I hope he enjoyed. After, I don't remember much.

My kitten applauds
The butterfly she
Chases in the glen.
She claps her paws
Ovation for flutter
And delights of the
Game therein.

Sometimes a woman has to nap under the bar during her lunch break. There's no way I'd sleep on the Murder Couch. Do you know what that thing has been through? If it could speak, it would scream and scream and scream and then beg for an end. With fire.

Relationship Note on Josephine

Today my cousin showed me the most marvelous little figurine, with a tiny wheel that moves its arm.

I thought instantly of you. I wanted you to see it, to listen to it, to see what story it might tell you. But I cannot.

It's a dark world after all.

When times are the bleakest, that is the time when it is vital to hold on to your sense of humor. To remember your humanity. To laugh in the face of doom. I therefore have some advice for any who would cast spurious judgments on those whose public faces bear a smile.

Put a sock in it.
