Relationship Note on Talwyn
Good Prince.
Telling people how I've trained puff is not going to do you favors.
It may mean you have a roomful of swooning ladies waiting for you to sing next time you visit the ambassadors.

I remember this time last year, half-dead and barely able to lift my head from a pillow, watching the snow fall outside and trying to process the tremendous losses sustained by the Silver Order's participation in the fight to save the Lodge.

Never forget what you are, for even those that you trusted or regarded with affection never shall, when the opportunity to presume the worst of you arises. This was told to me thousands of times and ways since I can remember, even at my mother's knee. And yet, when the truth of those words comes home to roost, at least for me, it does not stop the sting of tears from rising, no matter how I try to remember that it only hurts because I forgot my place.

My deepest thanks for the very generous gratuity added to your recent purchase. I actually had to stop your assistant and check three times that you meant to send that amount. I will certainly look forward to any future business we conduct!
To all other merchants, and buyers, 85% gratuity on the bill is NEVER expected, but ALWAYS welcomed!

Bout time I get to be fightin. Jeffeth do be usin his connections to be learnin as he do, 'n aye, I ain't denyin I be lookin forward to testin 'em again now that he be formally trained 'n the like.
Best thin' bout this is that I be choosin to be fightin 'n I ain't ever gunna let someone else be fightin me battles fer me.
It ain't how it is on the street.
How we be born ain't a thing we get to be choosin, either, but aye, we can be choosin how we go out 'n I ain't ever thinkin I be dyin in some fancy panted champion duel thing aye, but stranger things do be happenin. People die in weird places all the time, aye.
It be gettin me thinking a wee bit. I ain't had the chance to choose not to eat rats 'n lizards 'n dogs 'n cats 'n the shit that walks on four legs in the Lowers...Aye, this why I ain't like yer fancy animals who be livin better than most the kids in the Lowers... Aye... I had to be doin what I be doin, because where I be born 'n them folk that brought me into the world died when I be a lad 'n ain't left nothin fer me. I fought fer all I did be havin 'n every scrap of food, every day, till the Cullers found me, then we fought together fer more 'n fer protectin 'em who can't protect 'emselves. Aye, life ain't always been easy but I be workin fer all I had. It ain't easy to stomach dem entitled wenches who ain't ever starved a day in there lives, lookin at me 'n thinking I be some lowly swag 'n a scumbag. Ya ain't ever lived as I did. I do be givin to me fellow commoners 'n I be fightin fer em, I be fightin fer every commoner who ever be labelled a damn criminal just because we be dirty 'n missin teeth.
Ain't most of them rich folk who live beyond the Lowers able to understand what it take to live on nothin 'n live only because ya gotta live, n' live because ya ain't want anythin or anyone else to feast on ya. Ain't most of 'em know what hunger does, what despair does, what bein' forgotten does... to a person. Aye. Iffin I be a monster, it ain't because of me, it be from the ways dem rich 'n titled folk keep the rest of us down.
Ahh shit. One day kids, yer gunna understand what Uncle Orathy be talkin bout. One day.

Winter in Arx just is NOT the same as Winter in the North. It doesn't get into your bones the same way or sit on your shoulders. There are even days when you can see blue sky! Still, for all that I miss the north, Arx is home now too. As much home as Sandreef Point or Whitehold. Thorley gave me a funny look when I said I missed real cold. I don't blame him. I would have too!

Marquis. You may need to part with more silver or set realistic expectations on trying to secure that much diamondplate at a discount of over forty percent.
I am sure the tenacity though is appreciated by someone.

I return from Maelstrom and the city of Arx is still here. That's always good.
I do not see much reprieve from business in the capital in the near future. That's not so good. Small victories, however. Small victories.

Several days ago, I attended the revealing of the new statue in the Hall of Heroes commemorating the life and deeds of Darrow Darkwater. I did not know him, but it was clear he was a hero and worthy of such an honor.
What stood out to me more than the statue were the comments from those who had taken the time to get to know him -- and the comments that suggested this was no easy task.
It made me realize that so often we value highly those who let us see their true selves easily and readily -- as we should.
But there are those who are not so easily understood. There are those whose true treasure lies well beneath the surface. Much like the most valuable metals and jewels hide deep within the earth's crust, the truth of some people's personalities lies far beneath the facade they present to the world.
It is absolutely worth the time to find, and more valuable than any gold or diamond.
