Relationship Note on Lyiana
As for Lyiana, she's intoxicating and passionate and I could spend hours just listening to her talk.

Relationship Note on Ingrid
Probably because I was the only girl, a fourth child with three brothers.
Maybe because those brothers were jerks more than half the time I thought a sister would be better.
If a sister-in-law is like a sister, than I was right.
Ingrid is better than two out of the three by leaps and bounds, and at best the third is tied.
She's the sweetest.

[The writing becomes suddenly wild, and a large ink stain mars a significant part of the page. The writer appears to have been very startled.]
Atreke has just informed me that she has been standing behind me for the past five minutes.

The food is delightful, however, and the conversation, what there is of it, stimulating. I hope that there will be more of these events in the future, and that we Scholars may find a way to get together and share ideas more often. Though, I suppose I am content meeting together in twos and threes in private too, however, which is far more in my comfort zone.
I'm afraid I don't have anything too controversial or important to write today. I journal nearly every day, or at least a few times a week, so that does leave journal day lacking, often, in things that I care to write about. It is nice to have a day of rest, however, and enjoy a fine feast. It has been nice to meet new people, and engage more with my fellow Scholars.

I don't know yet if you are a boy or a girl, but either way, eventually duty will rear its ugly head. You will have to do things that you find distasteful, wrong, or even shameful because of your responsibility to others. Whether it is for your family, your friends, or the people that you have been charged to rule and protect, something will be demanded of you that leaves a foul taste in your mouth, the sort that it will seem no amount of mead, wine, or rum can wash away. Maybe you will have to be polite and feign kindness to those who do not deserve your respect. Perhaps you will have to marry someone you don't get along with. You may even have to risk your life fighting for reasons you utterly disagree with. In times like these, you have to find something to hold on to, something that is important to you, something that brings you happiness, to help you keep perspective. People might say that it is irresponsible of you, but without that perspective, without a little bit of selfishness, you can easily drown in loathing. Loathing for yourself, and for those around you. I love you far too much to ever want that for you, because I know all too well what that feels like. Your mother saved me from it.

And snowballs - should you ever have a chance to see the stunning and famed Champion Bliss Whisper ice skate? Do not, by any means, miss such an opportunity.

Relationship Note on Snow
He does splendid work and I wouldn't be surprised if he becomes overworked with the number of requests that he'll be receiving.

But I'm no fool, not to recognize that this debate happens just as my brother, a Mirrormask, joins an Oathlander house. I wonder if some of those who protest the most loudly haven't even spoken to someone who honors the Thirteenth. I would encourage those who frown or look askance at our traditions to approach the issue with open minds and hearts. Perhaps speak to a Legate or Archlector about it. We who claim to be civilized all worship the Panetheon across Arvum. No one should be criticized for honoring the Thirteenth, any more than someone who performs a rite honoring Gloria instead of Gild, or Jayus instead of Limerance. Let's all practice a little more kindness and tolerance here, in the whites and in our daily lives.

Relationship Note on Fairen
To dine at Academy Hall,
one needs be a student; that's all.
But to listen to Leary
will make one quite bleary,
And thus do I write to forestall.
Marquis Leary, I await the riposte. Make it worth the read.

I count myself thankful for being a Keaton, for knowing the strong bonds of trust that are shared in this family.
Yes, there is something to be said for having your family close to you.
Please note that the scholars may take some time preparing your journal for others to read.
