Relationship Note on Driskell

I miss Brother Driskell's cookies.

A craving that cannot be fulfilled no matter how hard I wish it.

Enjoying writing these stories a lot more than I thought I ever would. Even considering buying a desk and some proper writing tools. Need to work more on drawing, but I don't write all that ugly.

Relationship Note on Kenna

I very distinctly remember drinking many bottles of Mercier Mead years ago and have one in my cabinet right now I'm looking at.

Am I hallucinating this?!

Relationship Note on Kenna

Mercier wines fill my wine cabinet, and our cellar. Should we anticipate another delivery?

Harvest season is but a few weeks away, and I can't wait for the early harvest. You know we need to get these to market more... By bestowing them as gifts on our kin and our friends.

A /plot/, sister fairest. Where is Evonleigh? This is her talent.

Relationship Note on Delilah

A Mercier is going to invest in MEAD?

Utter betrayal!

(Well. Only a tiny betrayal. Is Mercier Wine no longer good enough?!)

Last night I dreamt.

Now I cannot cease writing to capture the fleeting dash of inspiration. Ink sweeps and curls in waves beneath my pen.

Or it's this gorgeous bottle of Laurent mead that had something to do with it. If I ever earn enough money, I will invest in my own sliver of a meadery.

I won a singing contest last night.

I am pretty sure I took home the win by having the shortest song.

Anyway, the prize was a bunch of rubicund, so I guess I'll have someone fashion this into a very nice trophy for me to go on the case in the hall.

Relationship Note on Delilah

I am overjoyed that Delilah Whitehawk has taken up the mantle of a voice for the Scholars.

Vellichor's commandment -- for the most studious amongst us to take sacred vow to forever guard the knowledge of the world, and allow all among us from the greatest to the least to chronicle their lives in journals so their knowledge may never be lost -- is among the most important in our world.

A great trust is placed in you, my friend. I know you are worthy of it.

It is easy for us to focus on one God or Goddess. Disciples typically have little time to spare for more than one, given their duties that await beyond the time they donate to the discipleships. Are Mirrormasks not dedicated to Tehom? Yet it is important for every member of the Faithful, for every disciple, and even more so for every Mirrormask, to pay homage and ever strive to gain greater understanding of the entire Pantheon.

The Thirteenth lies not outside of the other twelve, but linked to every single one, forming the spokes between our world and the divine. Something for my fellow Mirrormasks to consider as they offer advice and counsel to the visitors of the Shrine of the Thirteenth, and in their daily lives beyond its mirrored walls.

And when our own understanding falters? The Godsworn are there, as invaluable resources ever ready to advise the Faithful. Despite my disagreements with many things Grandmaster Preston wrote, that at least is a point we both agree upon.

I had an exceptionally lovely time at Princess Valencia's Golden Hart for a fundraiser recently, and was privileged to sing alongside Gianna Whisper. I daresay the world is not ready for that again anytime soon. I'm not sure I am, either!
Lord Aethan Kennex was a most admirable escort to the event, and I believe he's learned the art of the true compliment, for I don't think I've had one quite so unique before. I feel as though he has set a very high bar.

If you're going to be sailing on a boat, that's probably a good idea! You're not a true Thraxian until you learn to swim! If you want, I can even teach you.

I really should learn to swim. It's just become shameful at this point that I do not.

Relationship Note on Edain

I'm touched you would participate with my silly questions, your Grace. And with such a thoughtful, soul-baring answer too. It's what I'd hoped to begin and who better to begin the trend than one of our High Lords? I doubt anyone will think less of you for your selfishness. It was admirably framed.

Relationship Note on Berenice

I have no doubt there are many who dream of you, your highness. But for the one who dreamt you first, I don't believe they would want you to be anything other than exactly as you are!

Relationship Note on Juniper

In something that is perhaps telling of that fact that I am not always as good of a person as I wish I was, I think if I am being very honest with myself my selfless and selfish wish would be the same. It would that the Tragedy of Sanctum never happened.

Selfless because my older siblings especially where beautiful people that this world was robbed of, and they and my Father would be more wise in leadership than I could ever be. I still often feel like I am just hoping and praying I am making choices that would make them proud.

But it is also a very selfish wish, because to carry on for my family and shoulder the mantle of high lord I had to give up the dreams I once had. Knowing that my desire to see them again, is tainted by a selfish wish is something I grapple with in my more private moments.

I love life. Life is great. Being alive is the best, and certainly better than the alternative.

I have considered recent writings about Faith, Orthodoxy and the Thirteenth, and it's provided inspiration for my next question. It comes in two parts!

If you were granted a selfless wish and a selfish wish, what would each be?

I think for selflessness, I would wish every child born could have loving and attentive parents who are not taken from them too early. So much of the wrongs I see in the world might be solved (or at least eased!) by having that early sense of love and support which I enjoyed in my youth, and still enjoy to this day. But selfishly, guiltily, I would wish for one person who has the same passion and interest in me that I carry for others in my own heart, someone who is as fascinated by me as I am by them. There. Committed to ink for posterity's sake.

My challenges record is now 2-1.

Though Bliss Whisper did not defeat Princess Sorrel 'The Bladesong from Blancbier' Thrax, she still put on a fantastic show. Anyone who came to the duel was in luck, as four of the greatest singing talents I have ever known were there. (Though only two put on performances, I'm sure the Nightingale would have been happy to offer autographs for anyone willing to pay.)

As per the requirements of the challenge, I have admitted my crimes against Lady Zoey in a public manner.

Relationship Note on Yessica

I did say I had a lot of sisters, Yessica is almost as adventurous as I it seems. Growing up I suppose I saw glimpses of this but since arriving back in Arx she has truly come into her own in this sense. A skilled bow-woman, something I only just learned, she is also incredibly intelligent, a trait I have long known and seen. Won't stop worrying about her going off into danger, even while I cheer her on finding her wings.
