Relationship Note on Jhond
Jhond is quickly growing in my affections. He's been delightful company, a qiuck teacher, and this last evening brought a gift on the pretense of wanting to be part of the Evening of Bliss. While many of my duels will not be able to use it, for its quality is considerably, it is without a doubt the finest sword I have ever owned. He even had irridescite lined in the basket guard!

My reputation is starting to get around. Princess Jaenelle, Minister to the Crown, sent a letter today and asked if I would assist with the new Nox'Alfar embassy. Of course I agreed. The embassy will need rooms that truly show off the Nox'Alfar spirit, and that means a sense of humor should be brought to their decoration, and a fearlessness of death.
This will also need to be tempered with Arxian sensibilities, else the whole embassy might be found utterly offensive.

The Grey Forests are crawling with beasts made monsters, men made beasts, shadows walking like men, and demons walking the world.
If you would walk them, go in strength.

Relationship Note on Maeve
A new friend, and someone that is willing to work with me on scholar endeavors. A Shaman, and quite nice. She seems to be interested in alchemy a lot.

I've been a wild rover for many a year
And Ive spent all my money on rum and on beer
And now I'm returning with silver in store
And I never will play the wild rover no more.
And it's no, nay never
No, nay, never, no more,
And I'll play the wild rover,
No never, no more
I went to an alehouse I used to frequent,
And I told the landlady my money was spent
I asked her for credit, she answered me "Nay"
Saying,"Custom like yours, I can have any day"
And it's no, nay, never
No, nay, never, no more
And I'll play the wild rover
No never, no more
I took from my pocket ten silver coins bright
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
She said, "I have whiskeys and rums of the best
And the words that I told you were only in jest"
And it's no, nay, never
No, nay, never no more
And I'll play the wild rover
No never, no more
I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done
And I'll ask them to pardon their Valaridn son
And when they have kissed me as oft-times before
I never will play the wild rover no more
And it's no, nay, never
No, nay, never no more
And I'll play the wild rover
No never, no more
---
I will need to remember this song if I wish to dislodge that stick someday.
I'm also going to have to attend service in the morning at the shrines. I had rum. It wasn't water. Not even water with a few drops of wine in it. I'm going to be damned for this. My mom and dad would be so disappointed.
I should probably be disappointed. I can't feel my toes. Am I dying, finally?

Relationship Note on Rymarr
Some men just can't hold their rum. That is not true of Marquis Rymarr. He held his rum, and drank his rum, just fine. And even drunk he can sing better than I. Though I had to teach him the words. Sorry about that, Arx.

I wouldn't want to disappoint you. So with that in mind:
I'm incredibly excited for my newest position which I expect will involve plenty of paperwork that I will fill in with my terrible handwriting.
But seriously, I'm thrilled.
No, that wasn't sarcasm. I'm happy.

Relationship Note on Ainsley
Your Highness, I assure you that we would not have parted with her for any man who loved her -- and my nephew -- any less. No, not even a Grayson prince.
As compensation for our loss, we expect to be repaid in regular family dinners. Should you fail to remit payment in a timely fashion, late penalties will be accrued on your account in the form of messengers sent to deliver untrained puppies and boxes of sweets to little Lord Tiber, specifically on days that I know he's been left in your keeping.
And yes, I'm quite well aware these words are being recorded for posterity. Consider it evidence of the conviction with which I make my demands.

Relationship Note on Calaudrin
The Crown has appointed First Office Calaudrin Estardes to the Commoners' Council. He will probably write something about this, but it will likely be aggravatingly self-deprecating or accompanied by a joke that's questionably amusing. So I say, this is a wise and well-deserved appointment. I've no doubt he will serve with competence, dedication, and fairness, for you won't find a better man for those qualities in the city.

So, Scholar, what -have- I been doing with myself since returning to Arx?
Making new friends. Listening to lovely music. Enjoying the harbor beaches. Marveling at the statue. Paperwork, paperwork, and more paperwork.
I may need new sandals soon because these streets are not friendly to the bare of foot. But I will not wear shoes in Mangata's shrine if I can avoid it. Nothing like the feel of grass between your toes, or dipping your feet in the water and watching the fish scatter. So peaceful.

Boat blessings. One of my favorite things to write and perform, Goddess willing I can escape administrative work and attend them. No one told me being Archlector came with a desk full of paperwork. I just thought it meant my days at the beach were officially sanctioned and holy instead of 'slacking off'.
But boats. Such majestic things, how they float. They can carry wishes and prayers, death and destruction, or simply trade goods and foods.

Relationship Note on Tikva
Someone said they hadn't seen me since my wedding and asked if my wife was really that enchanting. While it wasn't my wife keeping me from the public eye the answer is yes.
Princess Tikva Grayson is the most enchanting woman I have met. I can hardly express the whole of her that I have fallen in love with. At the very beginning she was simply a kind person who was patient with me during my despair. Tiber was a bright force for joy. A tiny little terror that it was amusing to watch his mother try to handle. Then I started to enjoy watching her lose her composure over small things.
I once startled her in the Badger while she was writing, and she ended up with ink all over herself. I'm certain she would call me terrible for saying this: It was absolutely amusing, and endearing.
And then I started poking at that composure. She called me terrible and I played that up as much as I could. Until one day I realized that she had dragged me up from the darkness. Now, be sure Scholar, it was not only her doing. I am blessed with a loving family and many good friends, who all helped me through this. And Tikva herself would be outraged if she thought I was living only for her.
But when I think of living, I think of all the things she has given me and taught me. The things I have learned about myself with her. The things she has taught me to deal with despair. The ways she has helped me find reasons to live. The way I have learned not to let love-- however brightly it burns --consume me until there is nothing less.
Yes, Tikva Grayson is enchanting.
She found a broken man and helped him heal himself.
