I find myself feeling surprise less and less these days. Someone could tell me they once were turned into a newt and I'd probably just offer them my condolences and relief that they returned to their original human state.

How happy I am to have seen my cousin! And on her *coughing fit* birthday, too.
What do you mean, you don't see the resemblance? Rude. Two peas in a pod, we are. It's just.. one end of the pod has skinny legs and the other a delightfully shapely rear.

I am so happy that I got to witness this day and celebrate you and all of the hard work you have put in toward this goal. I know you will do your House and this Compact proud.
I am so proud to call you my friend. I cannot wait to see all the things that you do.

Relationship Note on Sameera
You did not know me when you bought my debt. You heard my story and that was enough for you. We had never met until I found my way to Arx, and then you welcomed me as though I was your brother. You gave me a room and you offered me silver. You said I owed you nothing. But you were wrong. I owed you a life debt.
I can never repay it now. You are gone. I did not get to say goodbye. You were not an affectionate woman, but if you were here now, I would hug you and tell you thank you. Because if it were not for you, I would not have the future that I do.
The banker told me that you saved thousands of economic writs for the Coldrains. It is in your memory that I offered them to Lady Carita to assist in the rebuilding of Darkwater. I hope that they are used to help people like you and me - former Thralls, who did not ask for their chains, but are trying to make a better life for themselves now that those bounds are broken. It is the least I can do, for the life you gave me, to give the same to others.
I loved you as a sister, Sameera. Thank you for everything.

I need a couple of quality gemstones. Does anyone know where I could possibly find a duskstone? Or a dawnstone? Hmm. ( Oh wait, Scholar. No, just stop writing. I'm being flip, yes. No, I certainly don't expect anyone to simply give any to me. Good grief --)

You should make broadsheets of all that, individually. People can post whichever one they like on their wall as a motivational saying. Perhaps have it be accompanied by dramatic scenery, or soaring birds, or winning a competition, all framed in black.

I'm starting to think I'm somehow the only woman in Arx who grew up wearing pockets.
It's a garment that you wear around your waist, under your clothes, with big, quilted pockets. It's designed to distribute weight properly, so you can put some really heavy stuff in there. Then you access them through small openings in the seams of skirts.
I thought everyone wore them. How on earth do you ladies get by without pockets?

Well. We agree on you being a stupid fucking stubborn idiot, which I suppose is a start. You make it hard to dislike you, which is difficult for me to admit. I will have to collect my thoughts on the rest to record later.
Just remember that I like my gift baskets in the form of handsome, somewhat older widowers.

Dearest Scholars,
Rather than my adoptive grandparents I am writing this letter for the libraries directly, as it should be well known.
Guildmaster Joscelin is a very kind woman. She sent me some silver as a gift. When I said I could pay it back she insisted that it is a gift not to be paid back. That is quite hard to deal with for me. I will have to work on a lovely gift for her once I have saved enough silver. I would like to make her something very nice.
She also arranged a loan of resources for me to obtain a shop. She assured me it was not a tribulation upon her time and that was part of what the Crafters Guild is for. I hope to pay it back as soon as I can.
With love,
Sheena

Beloved Adoptive Grandparents,
When I set sail to Arx at your bidding, as I would have simply preferred to stay with you guys where it is safe and comfortable, I did not think I would find it easy to be in Arx. I was not proven wrong on this. There are so many people! Some have this weird thing of wanting to be spoken to informally. I don't know how to handle this. Some are so friendly it is scary.
It is not all bad. I met the Guildmaster of the Crafters Guild. She is a kind person. I also met my patron, Baron Edward. You guys already knew I had planned on asking him to take me into his household, he did. I am pleased to say. I am his protege now. I also talked to My Lord Marquis Fairen about potentially doing some work for him. He seems inclined to help me, if possible.
Guildmaster Joscelin is a very generous person! She sent me some silver as a gift. It was far too much but I was able to get far more supplies than I would have otherwise. She also agreed to give me a loan. I was able to buy a building that just needs a little fixing up to be suitable. IT has space for me to work in and a space to live, if I need it.
I better finish this letter off now. I still need to write a second copy for the libraries.
With love,
Sheena
