Relationship Note on Bashira
More than your beauty, you looked kind. I needed kindness like a shivering wretch craved the warmth of flames.
Maybe it was the northern spirits but I let you paint my face with your fingers. I drew a little black bird on yours.
I prowled into your life.
Do you remember when you came to bring me Red Sky? You were so thrilled.
I made a fool of myself in Ms. Lottie's shop, bumping and wumping and nearly knocking that table over. You didn't care. I'm so slick now. But I was just a fool then. You didn't care.
At the butterfly garden it was like I had stepped right out of a bad dream and into a good one.
I thought I saw the end of the story.
I was wrong.
When I came back from the Northlands you could tell I had changed. But it wasn't a change. I had seen my self again. My real self.
It was an awakening.
I thrashed and broke apart everything around me in that wakefulness until I had a grip. Until I saw I wanted something else. Something more.
I hurt you. I gave you a wound on the heart. And you still wanted the best for me. You were kind to a fault.
And here we are. Me outliving you.
These things you left behind. Sitting on my table. The fire casting their shadows in strange and writhing torments. Memories. Sometimes I think I'm so steeped in memories, I may drown.
All you ever wanted was to help others. You deserved better for it. I hope you find it in the Wheel's turn.

I have received almost the most wonderful gift ever! They just arrived from Irisical, and I've never held anything so soft and beautiful! They also make the loveliest sounds. It's not a song...not /exactly/...but they coo and trill quite contentedly especially when you feed them grains and allow them to nestle in your arm or against your neck! I think one of them /must/ have the blood of a champion! He struts and puffs his feathers just so, his tail as proud and plumed as a noblewoman's fan! And they are so striking in with their white and black markings! It's so hard to not spoil them. I wanted to get them accustomed to the Palazzo, but perhaps it wasn't the best idea to allow them out of their cage just yet.
I think I got all of the feathers out of Sabine's room!
I did notice that my champion had a black foot when I retrieved him from the courtyard. He'd been flying near Minister Daupenne's offices. I peeked in the doorway and his ledgers were out, as was his inkwell, but I didn't have time to look then, and when I'd finally retrieved all the birds his door was closed!
And I cleaned up the incident on top of Cosimo's bookshelf.
I think perhaps, in addition to all the lovely nightgowns and bedding robes I'm working on this week, perhaps I'd better see about getting some instruction from someone who knows about keeping birds!

Relationship Note on Orvyn
Now it is you, who offers a hand, at least in spirit, and I am just as breathless in those first few minutes as you must have been--as I am pulled forward and you tell me, "Come and see, sister, what ships are coming in." I know that this is not a path you necessarily would have chosen, years ago, had you the choice. And I know a little of the sacrifices you have made, in fully committing yourself to it. But Harthall has never been so strong, and I have never been so happy, as to chase after these new dreams and plans, and to think I might have a hand in helping you bring them in.

I had better start thinking about how one responds with a gift, to a gift-giving.
A sword, maybe? Possibly a spear or mace?

The artistic skill of Master Tersk is impressive; never has been Dauntless been captured in such a stunning way. There was a stick figure variety of Dauntless once, but this rendition far surpasses that more rudimentary representation.

Protector of the Forests,
God of Land, Soil and Trees,
Petrichor I thank thee.
When our enemies came,
You protected the Grove
Stopped the shed of blood
From soaking your soil.
Pushing back the corrupt
And fouled beasts of wrong.
Bringing your light to me
And brave warriors, chasing
Darkness from the clearing,
Cleansing the horror with life,
A fresh sapling that heralds
A new tomorrow, hope for us all.

They will not grow old,
As we who are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them,
Nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
and in the morning,
we will remember them.
Please note that the scholars may take some time preparing your journal for others to read.
