Relationship Note on Astraea

Today I watched my dear friend Princess Astraea spar with Princess Marian in the training center and best her. It was an incredible fight. I feel honored to call such a fighter my friend. I also got to meet her younger sister Princess Echo, and I intend to call her a friend as well someday.

King Alaric has assured me that there's no law saying whoever touches a baby first gets to name it, and if there was he'd just change it anyways.

So, welcome to Arx, Princess Alessa and Prince Elisian (Mae)! May you know how blessed you are, and use well the life our Mother has given us.

(No, I've never met a boy named Mae, but that's what would make it so unique and princely!)

Falling asleep by a mirror is a weird feeling, waking up and seeing myself. In other news, my hair is pretty messy when I sleep on it in braids.

A seal's cradle-song.

The sea is black, the sea is eerie,
The sea is careless and uneasy.
If you seek quiet, you must be leery.
If you wander, you must travel easy.
There, by the crescent moon, the shark
has hid his head beneath a wave
calling solemnly to seal on shore,
in a voice deep and hollow, hark --
"Follow, follow on flipper brave,"
"the storm will not rage nor roar,"
"Follow, follow to sleep in the arms,
of a swinging, swaying sea."

Relationship Note on Emilia

She's my friend. She confided in me. Am I really worthy? She's an incredible fighter, and I know in my heart she'll become a hero. I only wish she stopped talking about dying. Few of us have as much chance for greatness as she does. And yeah, I told her that I wanted to be a scholar. Perhaps I should have said that in a lower tone. Still, I'll be strong for her.

Relationship Note on Jacque

I've come to consider him a close friend of mine. Something about his carefree mannerisms, and the fact that he is among the only ones who hasn't praised me for my swordsmanship, but rather other things, has made me confide in him once during a spar. I wish to be a pillar of stability for him, and treat him with the respect he deserves.

Relationship Note on Orazio

It has been several years since I have valued someone's advice as highly as I do Orazio's. Also it has been some time since someone managed to hold their own in a debate with me while taking a completely opposite view and still manage to make a logical and sound argument. I admire his strength of character and his mind. How very interesting.

I'm delighted to thank the Queen of Endings and Mother of Beginnings for the shining new lives she has brought into this world for His and Her Majesty.

Twin birthdays! Very exciting day.

Relationship Note on Morrighan

I am pretty sure that when first we met, she despised me. And continued to despise me for a long time. Being Thrax, I was accustomed to being disliked sight unseen, but she gave me no little cause for concern as I grew close to Darren. Would all the Northerners as soon stab me as speak to me? But since those times, we have made peace, I think, and come to understand one another better. And I find I quite like her. She saved my life, afterall. I can see why the Redrain family places so much faith in her abilities. She works selflessly, so very hard. She proves things about the high value to be placed on that which is not easily obtained. And I am better here for having to work to earn any of her regard.

Relationship Note on Apollis

You're utterly ridiculous. Rum with sugar? Rum with honey? What's wrong with you, brother?

This page of Sparte's journal is nothing but drawings of ring designs. Some feature the pantheon, some feature great houses, others feature unique sigils in the likeness of animals and probably nonsensical writings. A recurring theme on the page is the sigil to Limerance in variations with different numbers of rings. It gives the sense of an incomplete puzzle.

The city of Arx isn't how I expected. Some people are pleasant, and my family has strong leadership with the Marquissa and her husband, but it seems some Thraxians could use a lesson in how to use language to better express themselves. On the other hand, I fought this Lord Darrow Darkwater at the Spar n' Sip, that was, well, it was definitely something, alright. We fought each other until the brink of exhaustion and finally I carried the day with a lucky shot. And it was lucky, let me tell you.

Relationship Note on Cristoph

My dearest brother.... I am truly, dreadfully sorry about the house attendant.
The mercies say he will be right as rain in three weeks though!
You dont mind if I keep my bees outside of my window though. Nothing could possibly go wrong with that right?

Relationship Note on Amarantha

Amarantha, sweet sister, a woman after my own heart, I love you so. No one can ever crack you or figure you out, I think by design. You are as alluring and beautiful as the songs you sing. Whenever I am alone I think of the songs you sing and a joy is brought to my heart. You are so very talented and I am honored to call you my sister.

Relationship Note on Echo

Young Echo, my sweet sister, I love you so. Our short lives have been plagued with tragedy and you always manage to remain positive. I admire you greatly and want to bottle you up and carry you with me on all of my adventures. Honor me by never losing your light, the mirth and delight. When I pass, I know you will recover. You are stronger than some might think. But I know. I've seen your strength. Soon all will see your strength.
