Relationship Note on Aureth
Look. You can't say you didn't deserve every object I hurled at your head. You were speaking nonsense. 'Stupid shit', if I need to quote accurately.
Magpie was there. He agreed that you deserved it.
You drive me -insane-, Aureth. Absolutely -tits- -up- insane.
'It was a good idea at the time-'
-Honestly-.

Ida is quite lovely and she can kick the ass of any man. I mean, I'd marry her but I love her too much to do that to her.

Relationship Note on Joscelin
Imagine my surprise that my grumped muses on this thing would bring such pleasantness to my door in the form of a small tin of balm and a thoughtful note from Guildmaster Joscelin Arterius. After reaching out to thank her for the gift, we met and spoke at length. And what had started off as small talk extended into a long evening of sharing things I thought noone would care to hear.
I look forward to more time in her presence and company.
Though she keeps trying to offer me to Ida.

We all have the freedom to choose our paths, and if people choose the eve of war as times to behave as petty imbeciles, that is a demonstration of their humanity.
Honestly, it's not that surprising. Everyone reaches a breaking point sooner or later, and at a time when stress and terror grow in even the boldest of hearts, how not now?
Even true and loving friends I have known since I was a small boy occasionally flip out and hurl OBJECTS at my HEAD.

I expect gossip, tittering speculation among folks both prominent and less so. But the more I hear about 'rumor' and 'insults' fed through the grapevine of he-said she-said exposed here in the Whites, the more bothered I am.
Who has the time with a -war- looming over our souls to be that petty? Stop wasting your fucking time trying to tear other people down, if you can't be an adult about your existence then please be sure to put your thoughts here, where we can all see it, so I don't need to waste -my- time trying to be civil to someone who can't bother to do the same.
Maybe I'm simply vexed that it's my -friends- that are experiencing these things, or perhaps my circles have had the grace to never overlap into the likes of which I now want to avoid. Am I too idealistic? I expect this behavior from children, not peers of the realm or anyone above the age of majority.

Relationship Note on Theron
So you're laughing at others' physical weakness, Lord Theron? Not a virtue, as I understand them to exist. Here's hoping the Velenosas find a better use for their sword-bearers than being figures of fun for someone who should know better. Perhaps it would be advisable to keep one's scorn to Blacks, or to apply it only to targets who can, as you might say in the trade, strike back.

Two spars fought with the longsword, two spars won. It helps that my longsword was a very expensive gift, but one that was thoughtfully given. I've also received an inestimable gift from the Velenosas - the services of Garibaldi, the Sword-bearer. Let me tell you all, it's quickly becoming fun to tell him:
"Garibaldi, the rubicund greatsword, please."
And watch the poor man struggle before handing over the right tool of the trade, so to speak. I don't know that I can take him to the sea, but the thought of fighting in the vanguard, stepping back and switching weapons according to demand amuses me.

Hello Arx,
My name is Neve. I grew up spoiled rotten by my adopted warrior-father. I got to know amazing people, and I love my home, the Greenwood. I came to this land angry, wild, and untamed. Since coming here I have realized that I dont have a right to be angry. Being calm and in control is far better than being wild and carefree, and..well, I'm still rather untamed. I have realized that to be happy in life, you have to take it. I have to make my own happiness. I look in the mirror, and used to hate what I saw. Now I look into it and I feel confident. I look absolutely beautiful. I'm lovely. I have control of myself and this makes me strong. My beauty makes me strong. I am intelligent, and this makes me strong. I am a good woman, and I am filled with love, with a strong heart. I can finally say - I love myself. And this realization makes me feel happy.

Relationship Note on Khanne
I've been trying to think of the right good memory. I have lots that I want to hold onto and I should write about them all, really. I could go for many pages on the day I was knighted, the festivals at the Twainfort with the Rivens during the high-water season, or merry nights with my friends and my love over the past two years in this city. I've been thinking a lot about family of late, though, so I'll go back farther than all that to what seems like the beginning. This memory isn't as sharp as some. I was so young, it's one of those times that lives in the mind like a dream I can sort of half-recall and half-touch. But the feeling of it is strong with me.
My father died when I was very young, so my impressions of all of us together are few. There are some that still live in my heart, though, and this is one such. We were on the shores of the river where my tribe, the Greenwoods, lived and hunted that summer. My parents had taken my sister, Evona, and I to the water to start teaching us to swim. I remember being frightened at first. It was cold and my kicking feet could not feel the bottom, and I coughed and sputtered as I fumbled in the shallows. My father's hands never let me sink, though. They were strong and showed me how to keep myself afloat in the water. I remember my sister cackling and splashing me. She was a brat. And I remember being scolded by my mother after Evona and I got in a fight (about her being a brat) and tried to dunk each other under. We ended up laughing, for all that, and drying in the warm sun by the shore while my mother sang the old songs, and my father fished for our dinner.
It was a good day and a good memory, and I thank Lady Khanne for prompting me to share it with Vellichor for all time.

You mentioned how all Valardins seem so tall! Upon meeting Thorley, I believe? I, too, am a vaguely tall Valardin! So I was trying to think of something clever to say about it, but...well. I'm better with hammer and fist than quippery, apparently.
Hooray! At first I was unsure about the colors of the chairs, but they rather grew on me! There are baskets underneath to hold bottles, too. Just saying.
