I heard Aureth Greyhope had been writing about the horrors of war.

I fought with the man in the last siege, and as my clan and his are among the bigger common families in Arx, it made sense that we would bring our people to fight and stand with us.

Aureth brought a blessing from the Queen of Endings and Mother of Beginnings.

It was a terrible horde of the dead. Risen from their rest to fight with us and defend the common folk. When the enemy was broken what the dead did next was even more horrific.

There are times when horrible things must be done. In that case they were done with the blessing and assistance of at least one of our gods.

We enjoy the lives we enjoy thanks to such acts of horror when they are needed, but it is fair to say we must be careful with them. I dont look forward to another horde of dead fighting in the Lowers, but I hope if they do, they do it on our side again.

You say such kind things to me. I am a creature of inspiration, the feelings come and go but show up in the strangest places.

Relationship Note on Aureth

It's because you say stupid shit and drive me crazy.

Also you're a sunflower. You face the light, always.

There's a punchline in there about abundant seeds that beget life, and being delicious when roasted.

Relationship Note on Aureth

To be fair, throwing 'shit' at someone's head is a very clear, if perhaps not eloquent, way of making one's point.

I know we are all supposed to be claiming flowers for ourselves but I cannot even focus on such things right now because I just bought a hat and it is SO fabulous. It makes me want to put it on, pull it down at a sassy angle and conquer all obstacles before me.

Long live jaunty hats!

I'm named for a flower. Or really, a leaf. I claim sorrel as my plant! Because I'm Sorrel.

Relationship Note on Wynna

The anchor who keeps me centered when everything around me is chaos. The woman with whom I can be myself without fear. My first and dearest friend in Arx.

Your act will be tough to follow, but all of us children are working hard to make you proud, tall oak lady.

Too bad she usually expresses herself by chucking shit at my head.

Relationship Note on Joscelin

Reading Joscelin's description of a crocus was like reading a love poem, meant to woo one's heart. Is it any wonder she makes the most exquisite jewelry when her mere words are art in themselves?

Relationship Note on Veronica

I have seen my niece grow from an acorn to a very fine and fierce root vegetable in service to the realm and its protection. I would say I could not be prouder, but I imagine she will find ways to prove that I can be.

I’ve only just caught up on all this ‘flower’ business.

So I once had a boy once tell me I had ‘hair the lovely shade of a turnip’.

Words. To. My. Heart.

Relationship Note on Laric

Easily the scariest man alive for all the knowledge that he seems to have. Apart from the King, I can think of no other person who carries so much weight on his shoulders. And he does it with style.

He’s a hard-ass but one you need. I understand why he alone is suited to be the Inquisition's second-in-command.

Relationship Note on Reigna

I feel a bit like I’ve inherited a younger sister moving to Arx. She frets too much about me but it’s my job to look out for her and the rest of the family.

Margerie Keaton. The heart of Oakhaven and stuff of legends. I wish you all the happiness and adventure you deserve now that you have passed over the mantle of leadership though I know you will never ever actually ‘retire’ from it.

So much duty! I understand that but you know it is okay to crack a smile every now and then? In the past months I have come to respect you though. You’re doing a bang-up job leading this house. I’m behind you.

Not enough whiskey on this world for managing training myself physically and studying. I'll focus on one at a time. This month seems to be physical training-oriented, though.

Upon hearing the news, I was instantly compelled to rush to the scholars and insist upon a scribble in the holy whites:

One is a fool to not give Lottie's Place their patronage.

Please note that the scholars may take some time preparing your journal for others to read.
