Not that I wish to be indelicate, or vulgar, gods forfend, but there are some things that come with age that no one tells you about when you are still a young buck with your whole life stretching ahead of you, rather than parts of you stretching down. One of which relates to sleep. Or a lack thereof. Because you are constantly getting up all hours of the night, and you are lucky if you manage a little bit of anything at all.

Unpleasant, yes, but I felt that perhaps it was my duty to let the young men of Arx know what the old men of my day didn't have the good sense to tell me. So take care of your health, lads, and revel in each and every good piss. (And bowel movement).

Sometimes people get what they deserve, and it really is remarkably delightful.

Good sir, I do not, but the remedy involves DRINKING the juice, not... well not whatever you thought you would do with it.

I'm certain I can come up with a reasonable rate for my second's assistance! I'll start drawing up a contact. What, you didn't think sellswords worked for -free-, did you?

Relationship Note on Shard

Congratulations! You were already on the short list of people whom I was planning on contacting for this, and you've just confirmed your place. I will be sending a messenger this evening, as you did such a wonderful job of bringing up nearly all the questions which I wanted to ask someone for advice on and all the points which I was considering! Thank you for volunteering.

Though I would also point out that it's more like asking questions about Eurusians. You don't really believe the Abandoned and the Arvani a wholly different race, do you?

I honestly wouldn't mind being just regularwhelmed for a little while.

But if it actually happened, I'd probably start whining that I was bored.

Relationship Note on Bliss

Asking if anyone has experience with the Abandoned is a little like asking if anyone has experience with humans. It's so damned broad it's practically meaningless. Every single Prodigal who joined the Compact above a certain age has meaningful experience with the Abandoned, but chances are high that experience won't necessarily apply to any Abandoned you'll encounter. That might be the only advice I can actually offer, in fact. Stop thinking of the Abandoned as a single people, find out which tribe, or tribes, you might come into contact with. Abandoned, as a word, only applies as a way to define them against the Compact, and that's the only way they use it. When they think of themselves, they think of their tribe.

The same goes for asking about a singular language. Abandoned peoples speak multiple different languages, depending on where they're from. Which one?

The Venture Home (Week 11)

Time passes so very quickly and it is hard to believe I have been away from home for so very long. It is time to return home and spend time with my family and the people of Tor. They sacrificed much for lands they will never likely see again, it is important to let them know that we have suffered with them and that we really do care about their plight. For every noble that has suffered, too many forget that it is often the commoners that suffer the most.

Relationship Note on Prisila

I find Lady Prisila to be quite a charming woman. It just so happened that I was available to speak with her about Seraceni trade opportunities. I was mostly curious for my own artistic wants, for the fashion and some of the accessories are quite stunning from Ischia. I especially like some of the volcanic glass carvings I've seen. I do look forward to using it in some of my future creations.

This was very dangerous information to let me know.

I hope you are prepared for some surprise lessons. Don't wear anything you don't want cut off of you for a while.

There are simply not enough hours in the day to do everything I wish. Between my rehabilitation, my personal projects, and everything else going on, I fear that I'm simply not able to give enough time to as many people as they deserve.

Do rest assured, darlings, it's not you. Usually. I will eventually respond to most correspondence.

There is a royal mission coming up, as well - if anyone has experience with the Abandoned and is interested in a field trip, (particularly any who can speak their language), do reach out to me?

A very wise woman wrote a white a couple weeks ago saying that life is not worth living unless you feel overwhelmed. I still haven't hit that - but I am certainly reveling in this.

I've realized I have no idea what I'm meant to watch during a duel. Weapons? Hands? Faces? Feet? It's all just noise and clatter and injuries.

Now, a bar -- there's a place I know what to do with myself. Even if the conversation is a bit above me. (I'm still not sure who's marrying whom.)

Making handsome men laugh is a significantly better use of my time than learning feints and footwork, I think.
