Relationship Note on Kenna
As pleasant as that sounds, I'm not entirely convinced you're not simply making up words and stringing them together at this point.
Never underestimate the motivational fragrance of four-day-old ball sack, underboob sweat after ten hours on patrol in full kit, or some frugal guard's thrice-reheated chowder and mushrooms. Each of those alone can cause a grimace; when you combine the three within an area, then one has created a truly motivating weapon.

Word just came back to me from Setarco. Betsy's leg did not properly mend after the fall she took in the battle. It could be worse, she can walk and isn't in any visible pain, but a horse with a limp cannot be in battle again. Betsy was a fine horse, and I've sent some of my small savings to ensure she can be put to pasture.
I can't do without a horse though, so I'm forced to start looking for one to replace her.

Now now, it'll be alright. How does this sound: ozonic snowdrifts swirled with feral white musk, shadowed with opium poppy and wild plum. Sticky benzoin resin, champaca flowers, and peppery carnations lurk beneath the frozen ground.
I don't know about the rest of you, but that just sounds lovely. I really think that the motivation to get outside and patrol will not change in the slightest.

I support your endeavor. I obviously didn’t take vows just to get out of the barracks, but it was a definite perk.
I’m not sure what Sir Daemon does to keep the Solace barracks smelling tolerable, but he is a bit of a miracle worker.

The idea (currently) doesn't hold any appeal. It's more to do with duty than desire. The emotions are not important for one of the peerage, the alliances are. It's on par with lengthy religious sermons, thumb screws, plaid, and bad haircuts ...
Still. To the one I haven't met yet: never be boring. We shall mutually tolerate and respect one another. I will do my best half of the time. The other half I will likely be drunk, working, or hazed out. However, you will be a member of a respected family. The rest that would follow would be ... a life. No promises of endless happiness here. It's not realistic.
Out of everything and everyone ... if you are the least awful ... that is all that I ask for.

I think the barracks smell fine. Do not spray perfume all over the place, I beg you.

Relationship Note on Silas
Before hasty decisions are made regarding the fumigating of the barracks? I ask that you only consider the motivational properties that the subtle scents of body odor, butt, and blade oil can provide.
Rarely does one wish to marinate in such smells, but instead many will march dutifully and thankfully off to their patrols for fresh air.
Think of the recruits and morale.

Everybody in my life is pregnant, or just had a baby, or is excitedly getting ready to plan their family. Really, it's enough to make any girl feel like maybe she should be doing more to try to trick some poor man into marrying her. Really though, who wouldn't want a chance to marry me? I feel like it's no small secret that I can be a great deal of fun, and I'm not at all stuffy like some. Most of all I'm not boring. If you're interested, please don't be boring.
No seriously, if you're boring, don't bother asking.

I have put it on my agenda to spray something lovely smelling all over the Barracks post-haste tomorrow morning.
I believe I still have some of Bethany's perfume somewhere... if not, oh well.
It will still smell lovely.

This evening, I was given some good news. I suppose I ought not write about it, since it's not official or anything and it's not like these journals are private. There, I won't say what it is, not yet. But it was good to sit by the hearth and chat with cousin Alban for some time. I am glad he is back to himself once more. That is one thing less to worry over.

Good job on passing the test! I hope we get to go on some fun adventures together soon. Just don't go falling into any pits, okay? I already had to catch one Thrax nobility, I can't promise I'll pull it off again!

I think it was safer in the the midst of battle during the war, family is terrifying. And to think I thought fondly of my dear sisters during the fighting. Love them though I might, and I do indeed, I think it would be far safer to hit a local bar. Now to sneak out of this rabbits warren of an estate, preferably without being seen.
Fat chance of that happening I suppose, ah well nothing but to try now.

Tease him though I may, he is the possessor of my most sincere admiration and affection. I love the ring. It's darling. I love even more the sentiment behind it... signet rings with stones to match the color of everybody's eyes. Yet, here I stand! With a very pink stone in the shape of a little bunny. --Oh, no, no, you may not have it back!

I must say it is wonderful to be back among family and friends here in Arx. Getting back into the swirl of activity that composes each day has been a little challenging, but I'm more than up to the challenge.
And yes, it was even good to see Father. I suppose it is to be expected that I'd have a thick skin growing up under his (rough, crude, crass, okay I'll stop) tutelage. But oddly, it felt like coming home. Am I warped for life? Maybe so, but I am what I am – like me or don't.
