Relationship Note on Victus

Yes. Almost a year. I have not forgotten. It would seem that we married in the midst of turmoil and we will celebrate the year in another bout of turmoil.

What do we get if we make it to a second year of marriage?

Relationship Note on Talen

If ever you have need to reassert yourself as the dominant man of your house, you can always steal pointers from me. I've gotten quite good at it throughout the months. Almost a year of being married now actually, which I'm shocked I didn't forget.

Anyway. First thing to do is to lose your clothes. Next, you wrap yourself in your bed and you take off all the sheets. Maintain complete eye-contact when she finds you there. You are ready. You are dominant. You are MAN.

I'm still working on the step after that. But once you make the impression you should be good to just wing it.

Relationship Note on Ida

I need to know now; what do you mean by tall Valardins?

Also, I know which chair is yours. I love them, Ida-love. Thank you for these, they're perfect. I look forward to growing old with you to keep me company..

Also, I feel like I should make some sort of witty remark about tall Valardins here, but alas, words fail me. Apparently I should get out more.

Relationship Note on Joscelin

I finally got around to having rocking chairs made, because nothing quite says 'badass artist' like a crafter sitting in a rocking chair in front of their shop.

I don't much care for that smirk, scholar, so we are clear.

I should have more made, though in different colors maybe, now that I think on it.

Archduchess Eleyna and Prince Talon came to my shop and brought four different kind of booze!

My grandmother would never have imagined that an Archduchess would drink the North Shav mead recipes she invented.

I'm 99% sure Eleyna is dragging me to every shop in the Compact.

It always amuses me when I walk into Eleyna's boudoir. The vanity is made of the purest Valardin lumber and now, of course, it holds a mirror.

Valardin lumber is never safe in the Lyceum.

Relationship Note on Thorley

A sailor disguised as a knight-

(or is it a Knight disguised as a sailor?)

-came by my shop today. He was wearing the best of Alarie Harall's creations, leather so new the man creaked when he walked. And tall. Must all Valardins be so damned tall?

Bold as brass, he absconded with my scones. Polite too; my mother warned me about sea faring folk and I always seem to forget until it's too late and I'm charmed into discounts and conversation and favors. I regret nothing. It was a wonderful way to pass the morning, and I don't have many conversations in my shop these days that -aren't- about metal and gemstone. It says much that I love the latter topic, it's just refreshing now and then to muse over other things.

If you see this tall, salt-and-pepper Knight, before sure to strike up a conversation with him. But I warn you; I felt like I could speak to him for hours.

Relationship Note on Khanne

I too can confirm that Lady Khanne is one of the most honorable and noble woman of The Compact and does not have a nefarious fiber in her being. I count her as one of my closest friends and will defend her against any accusers.

Relationship Note on Khanne

There appears to be a rumor going around that I have issued an arrest warrant for Lady Khanne Halfshav.

To be clear to the two or three people who may actually believe that rumor: as Master of Questions, I would not hesitate to apprehend one of my closest friends and allies were I presented with irrefutable proof that they were an enemy of the Compact. If any such evidence about Lady Khanne exists, I have not seen it nor heard of it. Not only is she one of the finest women I know, but I would be hard-pressed to name someone less likely to be involved in something duplicitous or ethically abhorrent.

Citizens of the Compact are always welcome to write to me or High Inquisitor Alistair about their concerns.

We never decided what kind of flower you were, you had to run.

I'll toss out my opinion, you're a prickly poppy. Bright, beautiful, but delightfully dangerous.

Lady Sorrel has dubbed me Auntie Superior of the Oathlands. While I am not entirely certain what this job would entail, onomatopoeically it sounds right.

I wonder how one would make this official.
