Relationship Note on Venturo

A chance meeting that I am not certain how it happened in the first place. Is that not sometimes the best way to meet? Perhaps it is my penchant for good stories (Thank you father), but I have found the man quite interesting to listen to. I believe you owe me another story very soon, Horse Whisperer.

Research. It's my bane. There are so, so many things I want to research, and there is only one of me. The latest topic? The symbols on the altar of Darkwater Watch. Well, at least, that's a small part of it. There's a much larger picture to be uncovered, but first I must uncover the things I'm looking into now.

Too many topics. Not enough time. And only one me. I might switch to the new topic sooner than later. We'll see.

Relationship Note on Vitalis

I have run into this man a few times, and each time I have had to leave shortly after greeting were made due to prior engagements. Then he decided to wander around the unopened Embassy. Tch. While the workers were not pleased due to safety concerns for the Lord, I can't fault him for his adventuring spirit. Alas, you must wait to see the spender of the Embassy when everyone else does and perhaps we'll even have longer than a moment.

Relationship Note on Jeffeth

Sir Bayweather is a man of honor and morals. I am honored to be his patron, and can't wait to see what this new relationship brings for the both of us. Though now I wonder if I should be patron to another to balance out his good with someone more into the grey.

There's a lot of rebuilding to do, a lot of people to catch up with, and a lot of reading to be done. At least Duchess Ann and Princess Gwenna both sent me bottles of whiskey, that'll help a great deal with getting back up to speed.

Relationship Note on Vitalis

As someone who befell the fate of a group of hapless men at the hands of a band of lady brigands, I can tell you, it isn't much fun. You can even ask the Prince of Maelstrom, Prince of Farhaven, or the Prince of Sanctum.

They steal your shit with panache, at least.

Well, what a return to Arx! As much as I miss Ostria whenever I leave it, it's been an exciting week of meeting all sorts of people and reuniting with family members that I've not seen in some time. There's a deep connection I feel with them all that shall never leave, nor should it ever. I've begun to plan an expedition back to those odd ruins that have remained in the back of my mind for the past year or so, and I believe that before too long, I shall end up encountering a pirate ship crewed by solely lady brigands. That is to say, the best kind.

Relationship Note on Lianne

My new Marquessa. My new family, by oath if not blood (the former, to my mind, a far stronger thing than the latter). She has given me a chance that I doubt I'd have come by any other way. I intend to make good on it. We shall do great things, my word on it.

Is it gryphon, griffin, griffon, or something else? I feel like as a Grayson I should know, but all the Graysons seem to go about it differently, so I thought I'd ask those who might be bored and are reading through the whites their thoughts.

I personally like gryphon for the y seems to make it more mysterious, though I admit that the double I and F in griffin are visually appealing. Griffon looks like the sound you make when you've taken a bite of something you thought would taste good and then it is truly hideous. Or perhaps the sound an old man makes when he coughs.

This week! What week it has been!

I was promoted, I have a squire now, and I now have a patron, and we raised so much money for the children. I have so much gratitude for everyone who helped us out with this! My profound thanks to my Grandmaster, my new patron, and my new squire. I look forward to serving my squire and my new station with everything I have every day.

Relationship Note on Thena

Now, remember what you said about us making a great team in the journals? You wouldn't want to kill such a winning combination!

Also it's unbecoming for the Grandmaster to threaten anyone, uniThena.

The black rose, exquisite in her mourning.
Swathed in her silks, to look upon her is to weep.

I managed to win something at Prince Ainsley's charity night of fun and games. I am amused and at the same time happy about it. It is interesting how winning something brings a bit more joy to the world, even if it's a delicate perfume and a pair of coral hair pins.

Still getting mail about the Commons Clinic. Perhaps I need to find new depths to my rudeness to make it stop.

Now starting to consider taking payment to publicly insult someone of the payer's choosing. Probably only if it's someone I already want to insult.

Yes, someone should simply pay me to insult people I already don't like.

To Vellichor. And the archives at large, I suppose, though I pity anyone bored enough that reading my white reflections is deemed a way to fill their time.

It's summer. I'm in the grand and glorious city of Arx for the first time in years. I'm alive today. Not bad, all around. New friends, new family, new contacts, dodgy wine recommendations. And work. A mountain of ledgers of work. I find myself with no shortage of challenges as House Malespero establishes itself and I attempt to build up our forces into something worth reckoning with.

Challege is opportunity worth pursuing.

I find myself optimistic. An odd feeling. I'm enjoying the novelty of it. We'll see how it lasts.

Silver's Lament - by Itzal Culler, composed on commission.

Lilah Shay was a Metallic.
Of her the bards still sadly sing,
Champion of a realm fair and free,
Between the winter and the sea.

Aglow but one of many names.
Yet all saw her faith burn like flames,
Its warmth a shield for the bereft,
The rallying call of the blessed.

Her sword was long, her lance was keen.
Her slaying of Galrigor seen,
By all those beneath heaven's field,
Protected by bright Silver's shield.

But long ago she flew away,
And where she dwells now none can say,
For into darkness fell her star,
In Eurus where the shadows are.

((Original song: "The Fall of Gil-galad", by Tolkien. Changed lyrics around to make it more befitting Arx))
