Relationship Note on Rinel
I went to the Flammas for Lagoma and Rinel taught me a new hymn:
I saw in winter a light from afar,
And wondered at the sight.
I saw in spring a light from afar,
And laughed in joy and delight.
Hearken now to season's turning.
Hearken to the hearthfire burning.
Hearken to the pledges made
Which stay unchanging age to age.
I saw in winter a light from afar,
And wondered at the sight.

And laughed in joy and delight.
Hearken now to season's turning.
Hearken to the hearthfire burning.

I played my lute and sang this tonight at the Flammas of Lagoma:
Blessed Lagoma of Light
'If you only have belief',
Such a simple phrase to say
Hope contained in words so brief
Yet over lives they hold such sway.
Cleansing flames, dancing bright
Help keep belief strong and true
They sustain us through the night
Until the morning begins anew.
With meditation and in prayer
There's comfort one can find
Life's changes lay a heart bare
With joy or sorrow close in mind
When within you beliefs abide
Light a candle share the light
Stand together side by side
Share your stories through the night

I can't think of anyone better suited as Warchief and Sword for Redrain. It will be an honor and a privilege to fight beside you.

Relationship Note on Freja
You were always like ice and the harshest of winters, but it was in a way that I admired. You never took shit from anybody, you never sugared your words, much like Ferg, you were always honest with things you said. Blunt. I always appreciated it. There was so much I wanted to learn from you, and I'm sorry I never came to visit you much after your marriage. I should have. You were like a sister to me, you always gave me the best advice, whether it was what I wanted to hear or not, you always nudged me down the right path, always helped, always listened. I remember the times we'd sit by the fire and have a drink, talk about anything and everything until we were near falling asleep where we sat. It was in those moments you thawed a little bit and I got to see you beneath all the snow. I won't forget all you have done for me these past few years, the times you stood by me and supported me, the times you were fiercely protective, it always made me feel very much like I was family. I'll miss you, so much, but you, me, Ferg, we'll meet again, someday. I know it.

Relationship Note on Fergus
I remember when we first met, I irritated the shit out of you, when I was just a servant girl who occasionally tailored. Wasn't sure if you didn't hate me for a time at the beginning, but we became good friends. It doesn't seem real that you're gone. Not too long ago you were at the bonfire, tossing hatchets with me, Darren, and the rest, staying up into the late night hours to finish that drinking game. You were so damn proud of yourself for winning that trophy. That's the last memory I have, and I'll keep it close for the rest of my days. I wouldn't be where I am if it wasn't for you. You trained me in the way of the sword, you taught me to fight and formed the foundation of who I am as a warrior. As a knight. I'll take what you taught me and fight on against what's coming, and I'll do everything to keep your family safe. All of Redrain safe. I'll miss you, you surly grump, but I'm so very thankful for everything that you taught me, and hopefully in your next life, we'll meet again.

I'm going to miss you cousin, and I am truly sorry you didn't get to fight the war we've got coming. I know your blood burned for that battle. Marian will do well as War Chief, and your kids will be cared for as if they were my own. You have my word.

The recent scandal reminds me that, whatever my conflict with another Peer, it is to be resolved diplomatically and honorably.
The commons give we nobles their toil, talent, and treasure. In return, we give them calm, unified leadership in tumultuous circumstances.
Honor demands we uphold our end of the bargain.

*added into the journal:*
As much delight as Sameera takes in making the life of the Prince of Maelstrom uncomfortable she has decided to seek a patron that needs a protege and can use what Sameera has to offer. Sameera is not the most pleasant company, in fact she is quite orny and rather threatening towards people, especially those who she has affection for. BUT she'll defend the few she likes in her own.. special way.
She is not interested in 'winning' anyone over to be her patron nor is she interested in the 'tell me why I should be your patron' stuff. She's a jeweller, a well skilled investigator and steward. THat is the extent of the 'sales pitch' she has.
Also. She is most likely to go with the first person she thinks will be the least annoying and actually could use the help of a protege.
She doesn't particularly care about getting silver, she might ask for supplies on occassion, she thinks getting gifts is more of a punishment than not, and she is likely to skip out on pretty much every social gathering that might be planned.
Terms can, entirely be negotiated.
PS. Anyone who speaks ill of the Prince of Maelstrom, Princess Fatima Thrax, Princess Donella Redrain, or Duke Harald Grimhall will be instantly dismissed. alos, her duties for Grimhalls will often be prioritized since she is sworn to them.
OOC: I am looking for someone who wants to RP on the regular. I'm pretty much just wanting someone Sameera can do things for (that involves more than makes shinies). And to also expand my circle to those outside Thrax. Or attempt too.

As the man who ran the event that Princess Reese and Prince Ainsley aguement had possibly produced the opposite effect of what I was going for, I might as well weigh in.
I can not speak for Princess Reese's character. I am only an acquaintance to her, only seeing her in public. I had never even met Prince Ainsley before this event.
What I do know is if you are going to fight with your siblings, especially when you are important like the Graysons, take it indoors. Prince Ainsley should not have dragged Grayson's dirty laundry into the training center.
On a happier note, I met Princes Donella today! When she was still Princess Donella Thrax, she had freed me from Thralldom, a favor that I could never repair her in a thousand years for. She was every bit as kind and gracious as I imagined her to be, and if I don't stop grinning soon my lips might fall off under the strain!

Dear Oathlands, we need to have a talk about this liver and milk sauce dish I keep being sent from the kitchens. Princess Alis assures me it is a traditional dish for pregnancy, that being said-no one in the kitchens gets to look at me funny when I ask for raw fish with lemon on it ever again. This child will be a proper Oathlander, so I am doing things by the book. But the next one you can bet I will be eating more Southport styled dishes. I crave seafood salad, I dream about it. I want nothing more than to sit with my poor feet in the water with a whole bucket of oysters and some lemon. I can't recall the last time I have thought about food so often or been so constantly hungry. Only a few months to go.

A'course, the measure of who be spoiled be rollin out the tongues of those who claim to be honorable and then work together in a group of five or more aye, to take down one old untrained commoner.
Aye aye, ya lot be not-spoiled and honorable. Suppose me shit don't stink while we be at it!
But I must be sayin, if any of you lot feel too spoiled, reckon I could be using some better boots and me pockets always be open for more silver.

If all you have is a bit of red steelsilk, you can still send it and I'd rightly appreciate it, not trying to look a gift horse in the mouth or nothing. I just mean if you're buying it on purpose to send me, then I'd make better of use it being undyed, but you can send anything and that would be more than fine and I would be most grateful with any color or hue or anything.
Just silk is fine as well, really. Or if you've good fine wool, I'll also take it.
