Relationship Note on Cambria

As Lord Theron has stated, would it be gauche to ask if I may contribute to hugs and kisses as well?

I enjoy hugs quite a lot.

Relationship Note on Cambria

Oh man, will I have my work cut out for me.

First thing in the morning: you will run laps around the training yard. I do not brook an argument here.

Second thing, in the afternoon: training dummies. You're going to learn how to use a sword, a spear or a glaive. I leave you the faculty to choose.

Third thing, in the evening, right before dinner: push-ups. You got that right. You're doing push-ups and there's nothing you can do to stop it.

Fourth thing, accept a hug and a kiss to the forehead by no less than three (3) family members, along with not demuring from any words of praise.

Got it, cousin?

Relationship Note on Hadrian

One would never think that we'd get along as much as we do, but there you have it.

Thanks for the kind words. Know that I find you to be brave, honorable and willing to make sacrifices on behalf of your honor and word. These are the great makings of any leader worth their weight in gold.

And you took the opportunity that was given and I think Ostria is a much stronger place as a result.

I know that with you at the side of my Marquessa, Mazetti will remain growing stronger and Ostria will prosper as a result.

I'm proud of my family, and that includes you.

Also, any killing I'm doing has to be sanctioned or in defense of my House. Doesn't make much sense to start putting people down otherwise.

For quite some time my husband and I have settled disputes with words, agreements, and when necessary taking the knees out from beneath our social opponents...

...I recognize now that I can not be so focused in my methods of enacting my will across the Compact. I've always been surrounded by capable swordsmen, but I've never taken up a weapon myself. That will be changed, I will take up the sword, the spear, perhaps even the glaive so favored by my people, and begin training. To ensure that when the time comes, when words fail, my blade will be able to see what I want come to pass.

Especially now that I know that if I mur- *the ink here is blotted out, and the writer begins anew.* If I slay someone in self defense, all I need do is say a few prayers, pay a fine, and find myself free to go.

I have convinced the Marquis to join me in this martial endeavor, as he has some skills already with the sword, even if he has allowed those skills to grow a bit rusty. I am told this will be excellent bonding time, and it was even confirmed, if only inadvertently, by a one master Voss who informed me he intended two people to spar and instead they ended up falling in love. I do not expect love, but I certainly would never use this as a way of taking out all my frustrations on the Marquis with a deadly weapon. Any rumors one may have heard about my breaking his wrist are just that, and foul besides!

It was an accident.

Relationship Note on Theron

Lord Theron Mazetti is more than a Sword.

He is industrious, savvy, motivated, and damn does he have nice hair that shines with the light from within. He's so much more as well and, above all else, he's exceptionally loyal to his House and the duties of it. Probably why they stuck him with a blade called Allegiance. He's also the Minister of Allegiance. The guy's stuck being loyal, okay?

Additionally he hasn't murdered anyone and required that we pay his fine while he writes a few empty words. So he's got that going for him, which is nice.

I have a lot of appreciation for someone who gets straight to the point. I hate bullshit.

When I transform into Dadrian with my next child, I believe I will suggest the names Hadrian or Theodosia. I like these names.

Relationship Note on Caelis

I'm so very proud of her. As always. She took a simple objective and has woven it into something far greater.

Exactly according to plan.

She should have named her son Hadrian though, for her dear cousin Hadrian. So maybe not exactly according to plan.

Relationship Note on Corban

I reached out recently to see if there was anyone interested in cross training their soldiers with my own. I'm glad to say that I heard almost immediately from Lord Corban Telmar. It's been fascinating to watch some of the drills, seeing how each group learns from each other and takes something away new. And I hope that it strengthens the bonds between the Laurent soldiers and those of the Telmarch. We're going to need that kind of unity in the days to come.

Relationship Note on Calypso

I wish I could claim credit for some change in Talen, but the truth is that the man and leader he is becoming has been there for as long as I can remember, just hidden beneath layers of immaturity, frustration, and bullshit. Once those things are cleared away, the 'diamond in the rough' is revealed.

You are absolutely correct about one thing: I could not have chosen a better partner to rule at my side. I know there are those who had doubts because of his bloodline, his reputation, or even -my- reputation, but I point to his current success as the evidence that the faith I had in him was well placed.

I couldn't have done any of this without him.

Relationship Note on Cristoph

I can not wait to hear the sound of rolling thunder over the hill that leads in to Southport and know that it is our friends and allies of Valardin and Laurent on the ride to come to our aid. So much has changed in the last twenty years. I am glad to embrace those changes and welcome you as a brother at arms.

Relationship Note on Talen

I’ve said it in our recent war meetings but it really must be recorded in the journals as well. I am very impressed with Archduke Consort Talen and how diligently he has taken on the job of commanding the war efforts in the south. I have personally seen him listen to and include all manner of support, attack, defense and anything in between in building this campaign. Truly, he should be commended for this work.

Archduchess Eleyna, you made an excellent choice. He’s even turning in to a respectable leader. I insist we have you to thank for this change.

It is not what you will do for your child, but what you teach them so they can grow to meet the challenges ahead. For as much as we would like to create a safe haven, the world will not stay its troubles. To pretend that darkness does not exist will only leave them vulnerable for the future.

Hand them a sword and teach them how to fight adversity.
Read, teach and challenge our children to not accept things blindly.
Provide them a compass, so they may navigate to out of the darkness.
Give them a mirror, so they may look inside themselves and know who they are.
Live by example so they will know what journey they need to take to become heroes.

We are on the eve of war. As we pull together know what you fight for. Speak your words, record your thoughts, so our future generations know the sacrifices we make in their name.

Made a bunch of armor. Put it in the shop for people to buy. Bunch of simple shit for people with little money that just need a little protection. One set of frou-frou crap for people that like to swan about looking like leafy tree's. Should probably make some more crap before people need it.

Relationship Note on Saoirse

What an honor to be considered a Champion of such a lovely and noble Princess. I accept this role with great honor and will not allow anything to interfere with it. Of course as long as it does not interfere with any oaths or agreements I have already made. For example but not limited to, the Gods, the Knights of Solace, and my agreement to champion for Princess Caith Thrax. I thank the Princess Saoirse for wanting to bestow such an honor upon me.

I decided to go to the rite at the Shrine of Lagoma tonight. Never have I been so thankful of an impulsive decision. Sometimes following your heart is just as good as following your gut. I saw something that has given me a greater sense of purpose. I do not yet know how to describe what I saw except as the divine gracing the rite, even if only for a moment.

Relationship Note on Leona

I have not seen the Lord Commander for some time. This, I hate to say -- is a good thing. I'm getting control of my emotions. I have been happy in my duty. I bet next time I see her I shall have overcome my angers.
