Relationship Note on Lou
Good. You know. Don't let him go. Its not gotten any better. Not at all. Do not let him go. I used to have romantic notions of Eurus. Of the beautiful things that come from there, the goods and materials. The thrill of bartering with foreign people and pitting my skills to theirs. I was wrong. I was so wrong.

On further matters of children.
My brother is, as often, cruel, but accurate, having been privy to all manner of tantrums and squalling desires. Which also answers Niklas: yes, I have been an outer child, I never stopped being one.
Joscelin, I can speak not all to bearing children, but chocolate and fish do not sound entirely unpleasant as a consequence. Lianne, I appreciate your description of the intersection between wonder and wonderful courage and that need for restraint and sense. Do tell me if frolicking ever bubbles up amid the wonder.

To speak or not to speak - it's a conundrum. I lean towards speaking, generally.

Some of what I knew about that didn't make sense, got to make a whole lot more sense lately. These rumors and stories I've been told that didn't fit together, they finally have that link.
Two different people in two different circumstances told me something about the same subject that made things make sense on a personal level too, if that conclusion is right.
I've sent out a feeler on it. It might not be like that. But if it is?
That'd be overwhelmingly fantastic.

Relationship Note on Lore
Her sister's husband. I'm her sister. I know what happens. In my husband's case, they send them on trips to cities like Pyre on 'diplomatic' missions, all because he did not agree with slavery or the blood sports and said as much. Yet, in spite of this treachery, my husband insists there is still beauty in Eurus and wishes to return for a visit. He longs to look upon the dunes of sand again, and show his children there can be good there. I don't agree, not from everything I've learned about the place. My husband is a good man, with heady ideals and a healthy dose optimism that I do not tend to share. I'm an Explorer. I'm well aware of the horrors the world has to offer; being an Explorer confirms that. It's also how I met my husband, out on such an expedition.

This one was more successful than the last and I do not know how possibly that we could surpass any in the future in one fell sweep. The Duchess Clover gained a Ranseur for a song though. That was the only one I was disappointed in. Over two million when all is said and done and as I sort through this all with others, I make a list of those to sing the praises of. House Champagne of a surety for.. well, From donating prizes to generous bidding what can I say. Short of that I am glad that we have them within the compact and they have such generous hearts. Two thousand children, at the least. Preserved and enjoying a traditional and more normal childhood within the next month. I cannot wait to set sail and pay the bonds in person when the time comes.

Relationship Note on Sabella
Any good people that are here are likely refugees. As in, they escaped with their lives. As in, whatever goodness is in them was being threatened with being snuffed out. That is what Eurus is. That is what Eurus does. It kills nice, and good, and sweet. It does not tolerate such weaknesses. You either hide it, or smother it, and always get the fuck out of there as quickly as possible. If you can get out at all. Most don't. As your friend's husband what happens to the ones like him that don't get out in time. I would recommend asking on an empty stomach if you want the graphic response.

Just when I thought it was impossible to like someone even more for their lovely qualities, she has to go and impress on me further unknown facets lit by the fire of her soul.
A remarkable figure to call a friend.

My darling Relara you are a month old! People warned me that time would fly by and I have to say that during the long nights of lots of waking up I sometimes doubt the truth to their words, but here we are a month later and I can hardly believe you are here and you are ours! You have started taking more notice in things and turn your head to look at people and follow sounds! You have quite the pair of lungs on you, so I am sure you will be a capable singer and speaker! I cannot wait for all the new firsts you're going to have this year, although my sister, your Auntie Lou warns me that when you start to crawl it is only a matter of time before you're running and not to wish away the easy baby parts. Not that I think this is easy, but I think you are worth all the worry in the world! My heart is most at ease when it is just the two of us in the night, with you being so sweet and holding onto my finger and snuggling close. I live for those moments!
Although perhaps we could have a few less of them or at least a couple of hours in between! I adore you, but I am so tired.

Relationship Note on Calaudrin
My husband is 40 years of age now. I'll confess I assumed he was this age already a few years ago, which must mean he's well-prepared for it. I've gifted him a horse. He's a knight now, so he needs one, and i think she's a good and steady creature who will do well by him.
A happy birthday, my love. Maybe next year we'll get another animal. Perhaps a cat!

Relationship Note on Fortunato
I have an inner child. Right now it's keeping me up, rolling from one side of my belly to the other, pausing now and then to push on my bladder, which has me living in the Back Rooms' bathroom for fear of accidents. And then I'm pretty sure the craving for fish is coming from this same inner child. Fish... and chocolate.
But I'm actually pretty sure that wasn't what you meant.

Relationship Note on Fortunato
I don't know that I've ever been prone to frolicking, but I will credit my inner child with the sense of wonder, curiosity and shameless bravery which are required to be a good and proper scientist. Were I to leave those qualities unchecked by rationality, patience and a due touch of caution, I'm not certain I could consider that child inner at all, but were I all logic and reason, neither could I properly call myself scientist.
Should I ever find some desire to frolic bubbling up unbidden, I will send word along to assure your data is complete and correct.

Tala may have a future as a bard. I love her verse, especially the last line.
I am, I note, not sure how I managed to see your writing today, but perhaps because I was thinking of Tala, and that toffee that ended up mostly all over poor Sir Thorley's hair.
