Relationship Note on Estaban
We never got to talk as much as I would like after a while. I still remember fighting with him along the Gates of Seawatch in Arx, along with Aiden. I am sorry that I could not be part of the battle you were in, but I'll cherish the memory of you.

For the first time since my husband was killed I felt a desire to create a song, or try to. It has been a struggle to try to keep my composure, take care of myself for the sake of the child I bear and try to oversee my house. Sometimes I do this better than other times and hope friends and family will be forgiving and understanding if at times I seem to misunderstand something when my thoughts are distracted or forget something. It is not intentional and I can tell, a little, that I am getting better.
The song is one some comments at a spar inspired. Lady Eirene sparred Sir Jeffeth. Prince Barric, Lord Karadoc, Curran and later Mirari were around. It is not one of my best, but.. it is a step back toward the solace I usually find in music and had been missing.
Rattle Me Bones
What do you do when grief and angers inside
When there's no place to go, nowhere to hide
When rage and tears form a tumultuous mix
Lady Eirene had found somewhat of a fix.
No retreat to home, that's not where she stayed
To the ring did she go with her armor and blade
"Lets spar" She challenged to all who could hear
"I'm not all that great, you've nothin' to fear."
No punching innocent nephews, pillows or walls
That's not the solution for which this calls
Replace one kind of pain with another type
"Come on, spar, atta few wounds I'll not gripe."
Trainin's ta be gained, that's all to the good
Face grief head-on, the way that we should
Blunt its sharp edge in a hard physical fight
Stay strong for duty, that's only what's right
Come rattle me bones, rattle me bones,
With blades or fists give grunts and groans,
Bloody fine mists and sore muscle burns
Grief'll fade a bit with the twists and turns.

Relationship Note on Magpie
It -is- a very unique couch that Master Magpie makes. I catch the servants sitting on it all the time and laughing. Mind you, it's in the servants quarters and not in the rest of the house. Thrax will confess to owning one hundred squirrel couch. In the thralls quarters.

You don't actually know me or the long history I have with Magpie Grayhope. You also clearly don't grasp some of the potential implications of this poor joke for Master Fatchworth and the institution he represents as an officer.
But by all means, continue to speak as if you do.

Just like beauty, humor is in the eye of the beholder. And Master Magpie may not always have politically correct humor but he is a man not to be underestimated or discounted.
Consider your words before attacking another. Discuss your vehement dislike of a prank but avoid insulting a man until you visit his home and break bread with him.

Nope, sometimes jokes aren't funny.
This one was, though.
If I had sold them in my shop as collectables I'm fairly sure people would have bought them.
You should see the squirrel couch I sold.

I should temper my visits and effusive praise of your Taproom for when it is ragingly popular I will no longer be able to find a seat! But I am happy to spread the word that a fine artisan like yourself has taken up in Arx. The world could use more kindness and I truly believe that comes from inspiring people like you.

Dear People of Arx,
Sparte has been honorable and a true friend by protecting my involvement in the Great Bunny Prank on Prince Laric. However, I cannot throw him beneath the runaway cart and sit by idle while he takes all the blame. He and I worked together on preparing the Dead Bunny Brigade and while I can understand that some of you can't possibly help yourselves and must have something to righteously get upset about... The rest of you should be ashamed. Really? Pulling support from the people that are protecting us? Did you stop and think about it for even a minute before you got your breeches in a twist and lashed out?
Getting angry with the Inquisition over what was obviously a stupid joke? How are we supposed to fuckin' fight the enemy if you're scraping for every excuse to turn on our own?
I'm irritated. Really fuckin' irritated. For one, we're fighting big shitty enemies and this was a way to laugh at their way to threaten us. For two, I have to *defend* the Inquisition by writing this shit in my journal. The last thing I ever want to do is defend the damned Inquisition. And three? I worked really hard on that joke and no one even got to appreciate it because you all acted like a bunch of butt-hurt babies.
Get over yourselves and get serious about where the real danger is.
They're bunnies, for fuck's sake.
Magpie Grayhope
p.s. Laric, if this was all you trolling us in return? Well played.

More than the Telmar Tower has new activity. Of our vassals, too, others return to the City. The latest of them is Marquessa Dominique Wyrmguard, the ruler of our loyal friends in Blancibier. Her people were lucky to have her home, but I am glad to have her back in the Capital.

Okay, here goes. For my turn I will task Lady Cadenza must be Lord Cadenza and Ignacio, obviously, Lady Ignacio. For an entire day. As Princess Elgana, Agatha and Echo my witness, as Lady Freckles, Lord Luis and . . I think that was the only people there when I left.
We must make sure these two fulfill their solemn duty and obey this request.
After all the truth was inescapable. Just Ask Princess Isidora.. I think that was her name. There was an awful lot of wine and I think some brandy and I am certain there was some cider and grapes. Lots of grapes.
