Relationship Note on Alarissa
Twelve point is how they score the buck. The bigger and better, the higher the points. I think it goes to twenty.
Also, my husband has never brought me any dead things that weren't meant to be put in a pot and cooked. I mean, he did make that squirrel couch that still gives me nightmares, time to time, but he didn't bring that to me.
I wish you the best of luck mounting High Lord Victus.

Relationship Note on Emily
My sister seems thrilled to be in Arx -- there are no end of other explorers and travelers to speak with, to trade stories with, and I gather there's even an entire /Society/ of them that she plans to join, at Samantha's urging. I'm so happy for her that she's found her kindred spirits, though I can't help but worry -- I understand some of their number have died in recent excursions, or gone missing.
If childhood tales truly /are/ real now, as some keep telling me, it seems that those who explore the world would be on the front lines even more than we soldiers ever might.

Relationship Note on Samantha
I admit, I was concerned the marquessa -- Samantha -- might take it badly that relatives from some old offshoot branch of Deepwood showed up hoping to seek a better future in their ancestral line. But she's been absolutely welcoming, seemingly glad to have new Deepwoods around. I suppose she's lived the opposite of our lives in Grayridge; you could hardly set foot anywhere without almost stepping on someone else, but here... she must have been so alone. Two people -- and one child -- are not enough to make a lively house. I can only hope that Emily, Grady, and I can help her restore the Deepwood name.

Arx is so loud and bustling, with so many people from so many different fealties; it's quite unlike any other Crownlands city I've ever been to.
And the stories I hear! People talk of myths as though they've come to life and marched on the Compact -- and I'm told that's precisely what's happened. That children's stories are real. I don't know quite what to think of that, but it sounds like we'll need every able-bodied soldier we can muster for these battles to come, if even half of what I hear is true.

The Tournament of Gloria was a wonderful of experience with many amazing fighters. I was worried I let my team down by being the very first person knocked out of the fighting, but they carried on to win and I am honored by their resolve and that I could be part of their team.
Red Team Fight On!

Relationship Note on Jaenelle
Book,
Everyone should be pleased to know that I was finally able to catch up with Jaenelle! The last of my siblings that I had yet to run into since returning to Arx. She is lovely as ever, and her company is very uplifting to me. It would do everyone well to know her, she is worth knowing and deserves being appreciated.
Dear sister, here it shall be written so long as these records last, I love you, and I am proud of you. Though, that also extends to Valerius and Leona, if we don't all get together soon...I shall kidnap you all.

That stretch of land between the Oathlands and Lyceum was witness to a grand pursuit and a glimpse of how the Compact works. In that moment there were people, working together, to accomplish a goal. That goal was accomplished and then we realized, after the fact, that perhaps we should have slowed our pace enough to consider our actions. It was a valuable lesson to be learned, if one is willing to look at it as that.
It also taught another important lesson, I need to write to the Prince of Sanctum and offer him some tutelage on various shav'arvani dialects. Thankfully the supposed customary greeting that was learned wasn't an insult.
The hunt also taught us that Prince Talen knows exactly how to strike fear into a devout Oathlanders heart. With a joke.
We were quite fortunate to walk away from that hunt unscathed though and I'm thankful that because of it, I may have uncovered a name for my next daughter.

The High Lord of House Thrax certainly knows how and where to stick his harpoon. He earned those antlers that he's apparently set himself on the path of affixing to his helmet. He's also rather hilarious in his own endearing way.

It is not fine, dear individuals who skim through my whites, for spouses to bring home the severed head of some majestic twelve point - what does that even mean? - buck, drop it on the table in such a fashion that congealed blood splatters everywhere and stand with puffed pride stating that now Talen must call them their oakliness and look what he brought me home.
This dress was not Aeterna.
Now. Now I have to rethink the renovation of the shackles to include a twelve - seriously, what does that mean? - point buck mounted on a surface somewhere. Maybe I'll gore him with them and mount them both. Like the Trophy's in the Grimhall Lodge. I mean.. I did catch a High Lord. I can mount him on a plaque yes?

How to treat someone like your little brother in four easy steps:
1. Give them all your money. You want them to succeed in life!
2. Lie for them. Wouldn't want them to get in trouble now would you?
3. Let them borrow all the things. What if he really, REALLY needed that thing at that particular moment?
4. Repeat 1,2 and 3.
I think that's fair, really.

The Laurent's Tournament of Gloria has concluded and I'll be feeling the bruises of it for days. All to the good. I have had the great honor to cross blades with many of the finest warriors in this city in the past few days, and I only feel myself stronger for it.
All honors to my teammates: Princess Marian, Lady Jael, Sir Preston, Dame Felicia, Lady Veronica, Count Kael, and Sir Norwood. Though one of the Blue Team was not the victor, I'm proud of how we fought and feel we did Gloria good honors.
My hearty congratulations to Sir Thorley, who came out on top. I've helped the man practice some, and there's no knight who I feel would've deserted it more.
And, of course, good thanks to Duke Cristoph for putting this exhibition on. It was a fine way to pay homage to the goddess of war and practice together in friendship, on the eve of harsher battles.
Gloria guide our blades and shield us all, wherever we fight next.

I met my brother-in-law today! Itzal is a lot like Mae, I can tell already. That's probably why I liked him, despite the fact that the first thing he did was lie to my face and rudely dodge my punch to his jaw. If anyone has suggestions for how I'm supposed to treat a younger brother, I'd love to hear them. The closest I've had up until now is Mayir, and he's awesome, but I feel like I need to be filling some kind of specific role with Itzal.
And when did I become 'older' than people around me? I've always been the youngest. It's weird.
At least I'm not super old like Aureth and Fort.
