Relationship Note on Oona
Someone was rude to Oona Seliki?
That is taking one's life in one's hands.

Relationship Note on Veronica
I... see. He is getting more steady in his walking. He does have a well chewed sword toy. My suggestion would be to speak to Kael about his training, as I am useless when it comes to weaponry of all kinds, as well you know. If you would like to get him a lance, I would be amenable, so long as it is cushioned and covered in felt. I was wanting to ask Kael to make Aeryn a wooden horse with curved wooden rocking feet. Or possibly wheels.

My Lord,
Lady Margerie's anger is like the thrust of a giant practice sword: fearsome in appearance but not particular deadly.
Her disappointment? It is akin to death by a thousand cheek pinches. Far more painful and a long, agonizing demise that one cannot escape.

Marquessa-
It is hard, yes. It is also necessary. It should always -be- hard, I think, to write these letters. Discarding lives ... should never be an easy thing. If those who lead (nobility or military) seem tired, withdrawn, and not very jocular after something like this -- this is likely why.

Preparing him as heir to House Keaton.
With your and the Count's permission, of course. But I don't see a reason why either of you would object.

So it has finally happened: I am the proud owner of some fine leather armor. It is lovely and fits me well. It isn't a gown, but I know a few people who will be happier to know I am making steps toward the promises I have made.
I am not happy that this means people will soon want to start hitting me and call it 'practice' or some other silliness.
My guards might be first in line for the chance.
I have assured the scholar I am simply joking. My guards adore me and simply cannot wait for new ribbons for their armor and more time chasing after Simon in the gardens.

Relationship Note on Eirene
Remember when Albion died and I refused to see anyone or do anything for...was it months? Seemed like it. When I couldn't stand to look at or even think about Frederic, when all I wanted was to sleep and sleep because I did not miss him when I was sleeping.
You dragged me out of bed, got me dressed, forced visits and meetings until I managed to have some semblance of a life again. You told me that his time was finished but mine was not. That there is not necessarily rhyme or reason to it, it is just the nature of life and of death. You told me that pain passes.
I wasn't wrong. Everything hurt and I wanted to sleep.
You weren't wrong. After a time, it stopped hurting so much, and after a time, there were things to smile about again.
So let us both remember that now that we have switched stances. I wasn't wrong, I'm not wrong now. You weren't wrong, you're not wrong now.
I won't give up on you ever, because you would never give up on me.
Love you.

You'll have your future children heavily armed and waddling around in toddler sized battle armor as soon as they're able to walk. I can see it now; tiny, blonde, furious creatures hacking ankles and taking out knees with demented glee.

Relationship Note on Magpie
For those that know this gentleman better than I do, should "It's going to be incredible" fill me with dread the way the words, "Hey, everybody watch this!" or "Hold my ale" sometimes do?
Because somehow reading those words gives me an anxious feeling in my stomach.
I do hope it proves unfounded, though, and that this trepidation will become wonder. Good luck with your new endeavor, young man.

I have been asked if I ever felt like giving up when I hit a wall while writing a song.
The answer is no. For one I tend to have a few going on in my head so it's less like hitting a wall and more like a river branching off. Secondly giving into despair is a waste of time and incredibly dull. Moping around for days about how one's a hopeless failure does not appeal, though I'm told it's popular among others. How they don't wither away at the sheer boredom is beyond me.

I am reminded that Aunt Margerie was Countess of Oakhaven for many years... and why. She speaks, and people listen.
How does she do this with words? I do this with punching and it's less reliable.

Relationship Note on Magpie
To truly be an artist, you must give up entirely on your art. Check!
Now, you need to write about how everything you've ever done is adequate, at best. And deny being an artist.
Next, make something truly ridiculous, preferably about or involving or representing Marquessa Lianne Malespero.
