Relationship Note on Fredrik
The man has an exquisite mind for business and I truly look forward to seeing what sorts of trade agreements we can host between our houses. He also has quite a way with words.

It's odd to hear second hand praise of your deeds when you haven't done any deeds to be praised in a long time. I do not tend to dwell on the past.

Relationship Note on Elgana
Somehow I was convinced this morning to get involved with a charity that Master Kaine is putting together. I don't mind, and I'm sure it's a worthy cause. I'm just not sure how I managed to agree to help make sure needy folk in the Lowers have coats this winter, when all I really wanted was to make sure that I have a warm coat for myself.
Princess Elgana must be just that talented.

A good week, we had Duke Ryhalt and Duchess Clover return to Arx. I do miss them both, unfortunatly it has been all business this week. Maybe next week we can actually spend some real family time together.

Back in the city again.
Ran away after Setarco. Needed to escape the weird and get back to the familiar. Traded some goods. Stabbed some pirates. Enjoyed the company of ugly men and pretty boys. Lost my first mate to a girl he decided he liked more than the sea. Bastard.
And now it's time for responsibility.
I wonder if it's too late to set sail again.

I'm no lawyer, I'm just a sellsword that took to settling down in the city and learning a trade. The law is interesting though, as most written things can be.
I keep my nose clean too, but it still be interesting. like I wrote about the goat you know, and how do you judge something like that? Two commoners I fighting over a goat, both sworn to you, what a mess.
Then I thought about this, another layer. Let's say a commoner is sworn to you, and they do their service and you release them in good standing. THEN somebody accuses them of taking a goat back when they was sworn to you.
NOW who sits as judge? What if your commoner is sworn to another house? The crown? What about the fact that accusing a commoner of a crime when they was sworn to you is a clear judgment on your house? Certainly the master at the time must be responsible if it is there reputation?
Maybe if you have a new master they would pass judgement, but what if the goat their is crownsworn? The crime accused was alleged under the old master.
Maybe I'll ask a lawyer. Or somebody that likes riddles?

It's hard to prioritize the things I would like to accomplish. It feels like House Kennex has plumbed the depths of poverty, both economically and militarily. During that time, I committed myself for the first time to a cause, and found myself successful in restoring the Kennex navy, not alone, obviously but with some significant effort on my part. That was my duty, and since I've been released from that duty, I feel that I can undertake other challenges. The difficulty is choosing one. I'd like to see Darkwater restored. I'd like to build a ship to rival the Carlotta. I'd like to see Eurus. I'd like to meet a Marin'alfar. Not sure which one of those I will tackle first.

I am so excited! We have often wished to offer special recognition to those who are ongoing champions in our Hart and so it is this day that we begin to make this a tradition for one and all.
From this day forward we have decided to keep our tourney champion lists up dated for all to see. Those with the highest ongoing standing will be among the first to be offered an invitation to participate in the Harts' champions tournament and a chance to become one of the elite first to win the respected title of tried and true Champions of the Hart. A tradition I hope that will carry on into the future.
I cannot wait to see who will be the first to make the lists tonight.

Dear journal, I may have talked someone out of their tremendous work ethic and I'm torn about it. On the one hand, it's nice to spend time not working. There's enough disaster in the world that some time off is warranted. Even the most stout adventurers take a little time for themselves at the end of the day. Unfortunately, it might also have messed with her income. That's obviously worse.
I'm willing to risk it. It's not my fortunes and I've already given nods where I can to assisting with hers.
Gods above, she ran roughshod up and down my spine. Next we play darts, I'll make sure to be on Gianna's side.
I wonder if she can throw dice with such uncanny skill.

Relationship Note on Margerie
Lady Margerie has agreed to be my Protege. It seems strange to call her my protege, and that my patronage is largely the fact that she is willing to nicely tell me things like, "Prince Edain, you should not do that. That is stupid."
However as that is something that I need quite frequently I think this is going to work out well.

I'm so happy to keep running into others who wish to help Master Kaine out with his project once they hear about it. There are a few others I need to reach out to, but in the end, I think this will be a great success not only for Master Kaine but the people of the city.

Relationship Note on Alessandro
To continue our discussions that began as a part of my research, Prince Alessandro invited me to visit the Shrine of the Thirteenth with him today. I cannot say that it was an easy visit or a comforting one. It was quite unsettling, yet also entirely intriguing.
I can honestly say that I am grateful he has become my friend through this journey. I am glad that he will be joining our family and I look forward to many future discussions with him.

While others prize the feel of many eyes on their skin, I do not. That much attention means I've done something wrong. Well, it does now. Before ... before, perhaps, I'd have taken it in stride.
Not yet. I hope I find more of that which was me. It's coming back in pieces, walking old routes and paths and seeing old friends and finding new. Perhaps.

You wish to put my second son into a pretty dress for your birthday? I am sure we can find something appropriate for the boy. He does favor me far more (I think so anyway) than his father, but the dress might be a bit much.
We shall see what the little Lord wishes for his birthday, mmm?
