Relationship Note on Eleyna
A casual suggestion resulted the other day in one of the most thrilling conversations I can remember.
There are moments like that, where you meet someone and could swear you've known them before. Perhaps on some other turn of the wheel, perhaps bits of us still 'stick' so that we know our people when we see them.
Archduchess Eleyna Velenosa is one of those people. She inspires me in ways difficult to convey.
I am proud to know her. As the Lyceum should be proud to have her as their High Lady.
If I can learn to become half as effective as she is in navigating the waters of politics and secrets unearthed...I will consider myself a grand success.

Relationship Note on Cassius
I had been so looking forward to reconnecting with Cassius now that I have been more involved in House Pravus.
Now that cannot come to pass.
I mourn with Velenosa, with Pravus, with all the Lyceum as well as all who knew and loved Cassius. The Knights of Solace, House Nightgold, so many of us were touched by his dedication, his conviction.
I mourn most of all with Belladonna, the cousin I love like a sister. I remember the joy in her eyes when I helped her dress for her wedding that day. I do not know anything of the contract between the Houses...but I do know that the bride to be, eyes shining that day and cheeks flushed with happiness, had made a love match.
May we all be so lucky to be loved that much at some point in our lives.
Go gently, good Duke. Non Omnus Moriar

Relationship Note on Titania
I've only ever had brothers growing up. They were so much older than me that we didn't fight so much as barely interacted.
I don't have a sister, though I used to wish for one as a girl.
Yet I do have Titania. Family is blood ties yes, is kin, is our pasts. Yet we can also expand our family as we find the people who are meant to be parts of our lives.
Titania is the only woman whom I've ever shouted insults at, had guards interfere in conversations with, and tossed out insults that left us both bleeding.
After each one, a few days go by, and we are hugging, weeping, apologizing.
I imagine it must be like having a sister. Though I don't know for certain.

Relationship Note on Thena
The Hundred of the King's Own send their deepest condolences to the Knights of Solace lost in service to Duke Cassius.
We are united as the Silver Orders, and I will provide what aid I can to my brothers and sisters in service.

The loss of Duke Cassius Pravus is a tragedy. But I would remind readers that he was not the only loss. I don't know who was among his Pravus guard, but I know the Knights of Solace who went with them and were slaughtered to a man. Each and every one of them was brother or sister in arms, my gods-given responsibility, and yet they went to their deaths without my knowledge. I only want to know why. Why Duke Cassius commanded them without my authorization, and why they followed him to their doom. If you know anything, please, tell me, or the Inquisition, or Princes Mydas and Talen, or the Iron Guard, just tell /someone/.

Are you looking for the best fucking bookcase you ever saw in your life? Do you want to put books somewhere and think that is a fucking amazing shelf?
I have one bookcase ready for purchase. Inquisition only. I make them particular. So, if you are Inquisition and want to put tomes or nail pliers or skulls or whatever it is you people collect on a bookcase so sturdy it would hold up to questioning, you let me know.
It's not fucking free, though. You pay for quality shit like this.
I make other shit too. Send your fancy messengers to the Lowers.

So silly really. The odds are great that I will not need it and yet, I am in collaboration with Master Jayeth. Leather will do for the rest of me, but that Iridescite. I can't explain it but it is mollified and appeased now. A chest piece of the finest steel, and Iridescite blended with it, as if it were a pool of ater, waiting to be touched, the faintest patterning across the surface and then... as if it might be disrupted. No gems, no adornments of any other kind. Just the lustre of the Iridescite. I can't stop humming. So silly. So lovely.

There are likely few who your cousin would entrust the discovery of this injustice more. I will work with you, not just at the Archduchess' decree, but because you are my brother now.
I'm just confused on -one- little point.
