Relationship Note on Miraya

Although Miraya and Mirari don't exactly look alike, it's easy to tell these Corsetinas are sisters just by the way they carry themselves when they're together, like sometimes one plus one equals more than two, in the amount of confidence and swagger they exude.

Relationship Note on Yasmine

She reads everything she can get her hands on and always has her head in a book, which makes her an incredible font of information but also makes it very easy to get the jump on her.

Relationship Note on Mabelle

It is always wonderful to spend time with my cousin. She is effortlessly beautiful and incredibly intelligent. Any one would be so lucky to be in her presence and now I am taking it upon myself to keep my eyes and ears open to find her something of a political arrangement. Perhaps I will host a gathering at the Fidante Villa. A Honey and Roses themed soiree. I am sure Mabelle will love it!

There's no doubt in my mind that some members of the peerage will think negatively of the decision I made today to allow anyone to speak. To that, I simply say, we're well past these concerns.

Relationship Note on Amund

News of your heroic bravery to the death against our insidious enemy, Helena Thornweave, has reached the ears of the people of Tor and I can assure you, Sir Amund, that your heroism will not be forgotten. You were one of many who put your life at risk to save us, but there was only one of you; a staunch and fierce warrior who wielded a blade like no other. Legendary in fact. I am grateful you offered training to our men and women in Tor and I know you spend time offering training to those in Arx while you were living in the capital. That you were struck through the throat with a thorn, the irony is not lost on me.

We thank you, we honor you, you will be missed.

I have no attended the Assembly of Peers for many years as I was traveling out of the city more often than not.

However, the acknowledgement and realization that it has been done, that Artshall has been restored, has brought me a huge sense of relief.

I am happy.
I am relieved.
I can move on now.

I fell asleep my my desk again, surrounded by four empty cups of coffee. I woke to the bitter scent of their dried dregs. The dreams I had left me even more bitter with loss, empty as the cups around me.

I assured Palamon they were just small, selfish dreams anyway. Nothing a fresh batch of coffee won't fix, I'm sure.

It often amazes me just how conflicted one can be at times.

Sometimes the heart simply wants what it wants and you cannot deny it.

The question is whether one acts on it.

Perhaps it is time for another Sip'n Spar?

Something to distract people from their worries if only for a little. To remind them that there is life to be lived and company to be enjoyed. Something more than just another battle or foe to be thwarted. Something that offers pleasure and hope and perhaps eases grind of worry over things we cannot control or what comes.

The Hart has always and will always seek to raise spirits and support for good causes. What better cause than to warm hearts and offer people a chance to come together as one -- even if it is only for a little while.

Relationship Note on Auda

I dreamt of endless fields of poppies. Bright, bloody red, and fragrant. I dreamt of sun-bleached tresses trailing among the blooms. I followed slowly behind as I watched you walk. A golden watering can in your dainty fingers. You watered every poppy with care and love. I dreamt you cast one last look over your shoulder and smiled at me.

Bite woke me up by nipping my nose.

But I was alright. I'll miss you.

Relationship Note on Malcolm

My patron was right... This puppy is quite good at chasing off bad dreams. Archduchess Jaenelle and I have renamed her Winter's Bite. I call her 'Bite' or 'Bitey' for short, because she quite enjoys running behind me, nipping at my heels. Still... I have a nightmare only every three nights now, rather than every night.

The victory ball was marvelous. so good to see so many friends, soo many i have not spoken to in some time. It was a moment to remember why we fight, and who we fight for. Thank you to the Queen for hosting, and for all who stoof to keep our city safe.

I had such a lovely time at the celebration ball tonight. I got to meet so many other people, and got to know others so much better. For once in this large city, I did not feel so alone. The queen is so gracious and such a lovely host. Things could not have been anymore perfect. though I cannot lie. My dance with the Archduke Patrizio was most certainly the highlight of my evening. I had thought I might not attend, after all I do not know so many people with whom to mingle with. And then when I did arrive, I must admit I felt quite overwhelmed, and as if I had walked into the wrong place. But the queen Symonesse was so welcoming and charming, I found myself soon relaxing, and had a marvelous time. I hope there will be another such ball soon. Though I do realize these things take an age to plan.

I have found myself with a new patron! Our meeting must have been the alignment of the stars for I have never met another who could be so much like myself in terms of the way we think and view the world. Granted, our goals serve different causes; his on a larger scale, mine on one that is but a smidge smaller. Still, I have great expectations this will be a fantastic patronage and I am truly looking forward to all that this patronage/protege relationship will bring.

Metal glints. Jewels glisten. Since returning to Arx, I've felt inspired and so the forge is hot. Fire and smoke.

I enjoy the process, because there's always a risk. The metal can burn and the blades are sharp. One wrong move, ...but life isn't much different.

The first piece I created was one that I've spent a long time considering, an alacirite sword that is aptly named. A cutlass sword, I'm rather fond of the jagged blade. It has an eerie quality to it, I used some rather unique materials, not for the faint of heart. Luckily, mine is doing just well.

Then, there's a few pieces I made to stock-up at the boutique at Of Works Obscura. This and that, though it's hard to sell a sword, I have this urge to use them all. And for those that don't want to carry one, well, I've made miniature ones to hang around the neck.

We are all coming home. That whisper on the waves, it beckons us together. I am glad that my sister is back, I look forward to catching up. I have just the right bottle for it, too.

I spent nearly three months traveling through the Northlands before the real brunt of winter was upon us. It was cold, don't get me wrong, but the kind of cold that feels refreshing and clean when you're away from the city. But wrong, lately, in a way that is hard to describe. Still, duty called and there were many villages to visit as well as review the recent construction projects that were completed. Sometimes being away and distracted with tasks outside of Arx remind me how much there is to love in the city as well. It's good to be back, though I wonder if I could have done more while away. I suppose such things haunt us all these days.
