Relationship Note on Kenna

I brought it with me scholar! Everyone should see this so you should help me sketch it. The world should know what a menacing badass Lady Kenna Whitehawk really is! I THINK that is a compliment. She still has not written back to tell me if this is a threat or not!

Just remember - her messenger, the thing that brought this to me? IS A SQUIRREL. Not just a squirrel. Like the PRINCESS of squirrels or something! And Lady Kenna had her bring me THIS! -from the skin of her messenger critter's own people-.

Secret. Badass.

(And herein, a bad drawing that fails to do justice to the below desc)
Makeshift 'Bear'skin Rug
Fashioned together from many many small skins that are definitely not bear (they look like squirrel), this rug is a patchwork mosaic of fluff and stitching. It lays mostly flat, but only because it's been stepped on a great deal. Still, it has it's own sort of charm with all the matted down fur and stretched outlines of flattened rodents.

Relationship Note on Merek

Giving a gift isn't so much about knowing what they like, as it is about what made you think of them.

It really is the thought, more than the gift, that matters the most.

Relationship Note on Artur

My brother and I have exchanged gifts on this lovely Grayson Gift Day! As always, he knows me so well and picked the most perfect thing, one that I utterly lacked: perfume. The scent is absolutely stunning! Leave it to Artur to simply know what I love and would likely never purchase for myself. Best brother!

I have received a gift for Gift Day, and I didn't think I might actually get anything. It makes me a bit happy, and I should also try to make some gifts for people. I just need to know what people I've never made any gifts for before, might like.

I don't think I will ever understand anything about elves when it comes to social matters. Of course I believe we relate on that to an extent, as I'm not great at social matters sometimes, though with me it is more because I don't like to be social a lot, mostly because I have never been great with it, I was born a simple smith. That said, it was quite an interesting evening, and it's nice to know that the Embassy was well received. Now it's on to gift giving day, which I admit I'm also not great at, I just give people what I think it is they might like.

Audric's Rules of Being a Sellsword, number... something. Fairly high up there. Scholar, remind me to compile these sometime. If you're ever in a fair fight, you've already fucked up. A fair fight is one where you aren't sure you're going to win. That can mean a lot of things. It can mean arranging a stray arrow to take your foe in the neck, it can mean a flanking force in that copse of trees over there. I've been a soldier all my life, and every fight has boiled down to one thing: who can keep the most cards up their sleeves. Complaining about losing a fair fight is something a loser does to assuage their ego. This isn't even just a sellsword thing: the victor writes the history. When you win, you're in the right. Otherwise, you haven't really won, have you?

Relationship Note on Aislin

I can't send you a messenger. So I can only hope someday you return and catch up on a giant backlog of white journals and find this:

Happy Gift Day, my friend.

I left you a figurine in the atrium of Ashford House.

It's not mandatory! You don't have to give anyone a gift.

Relationship Note on Caith

I don't think debates are meant to devolve into 'trial by combats', Princess Caith. You fought unfairly.

I have not written much of late, but there's not much to write about. I was inducted into the Order of the Lily. I'm sure there's more deserving folk than me, but it's a great honor to be among the others. I figure that's about all that's worth a mention. Besides that, one day comes after another and that is about it.

I went to the Embassy opening tonight. I had no intention in spending most of the evening in Prince Tryval's company, but that is what happened. It was an enlightening evening and I met some very interesting people, not the least of which was the prince of course. So much to think on and others to worry about. I hope to make my way back to the Embassy to explore a bit more. I admit I tired myself out spending the evening being social.

The meeting with Felicia and Caspian went well, I think we are onto something. We are meeting again soon to discuss more about our quest.

The search goes on and things are finally coming together. The past has been forgiven in some cases and in others I look to create friendships a new.

The Marquis has suggested that I arm myself, so today I dared to step foot outside the keep for the first time since arriving. I can scarce believe how big, and busy the city is. We, and I say we since the Marquis has been kind enough to grant me access to the guards at the keep, made our way to The Storied Blade. I was fortunate to meet a kind Knight who gave me suggestions on how to pick a dagger, and even provided me with a list of potential tutors in the art of daggerplay. With a list in hand, it's only a matter of time before I can negotiate lessons.

The Nox embassy party was a delight. I'm sure much will be written on such an historic event, but I would say the highlights included the speech contest and the (private) lounging contest. Also, that Prince Tyrval may deserve a medal for the heroics of his departure.

Slowly, far too slowly, am I recovering from my 'trip'. I wasn't sure if I would make the Harthall dinner this week, let alone enjoy the company for my weakness. Fortunate for me, I did both, actually. I met a few more cousins and heard of more around Arx. I hope to run into them soon.
