Relationship Note on Valencia
Imagine you had to carry it all with you for miles and miles, and at most you had one horse to help with the load.
That always worked for me.

Time to clean house I think. I hear that spring is the time of year for such things.
Let go and make room for better things and all that.
I hear it's cathartic and good for the heart. I just wish it was easier. Perhaps I should cease being so sentimental.
It makes me wonder how others can throw things away so very easily. Things once with meaning now nothing at all. Is there a trick to it?
Perhaps I shall discover the secret and make good use of it.
As always a vixen,

Sometimes the most beautiful things are the ephemeral, that catch fire, and burn away, leaving only the scent of the flame and their passing in their wake.

Relationship Note on Saya
I am pleased that the Mistress Saya Dalin has accepted my offer of patronage. Her work is brilliant, if she is perhaps a little strange. Those who have despaired of my wardrobe can surely rest easy knowing that having such a tailor as my protege will have me soon clad appropriately as High Lord of Bastion.

Relationship Note on Christine
My lovely friend Christine,
She is a invaluable drinking partner, ( I almost wrote unvaluable, I attest this to having tried the rum).
In a hundred years I do not know if they will write about me or her, probably not, let them not say we never
had a good drink. For her it is the rum, for me the brandy, or the wine, or the rum if I am feeling particularly
brave. We hatched a plot, but alas it fell through. Sad ladies.
Today we came together to make the most of our failings and shared yet more drink. It was just rum this time.
I'm honestly starting to believe only trouble comes of the pair of us drinking together. Oh look it's Baron Edward, this will surely end well.

Relationship Note on Reese
Today I learned that Princess Reese can be a person to,
Most of the time I thought her aloof and deep in her responsibilities, but I insisted that she set that aside for a spell.
There is a lot beneath the surface, but typically I do not look, typically she would not of let me.
When the missions begin I think it will be a little easier to follow her now that there is a sense of knowing her better.
The mysteries of Arx truly reside in the hearts of the residents.

She walks alone until she sees a bright reflection of herself
They are together, first loves, never apart never alone until
Something new is introduced, something shiny, each admiring
They are not alone, but neither are they both pleased with the other's shiny thing
They drift apart, there are many smaller shiny things to be held, to be had
Fighting, they lash out and misunderstand
Crying, they lick their wounds and try to make amends
The cycle continues, they're only hurting themselves, they are reflections of each other.

7/6 in the year of our gods, 1007 AR
For reasons I'm not really able to figure out, my patrons have decided to request my presence in Arx. My Captain in Southport was equally perplexed as to why I was asked for by name, but when the order comes in writing from a General, I learned years ago to stop asking why and get on with it. I can't say I've ever been able to decipher the motives of the nobility, that's usually above my pay grade, even the house I serve, but why they want an old, one-armed soldier is beyond me. But orders are orders.
I spoke with Vanesa before I left, told her the coin shouldn't stop coming in. So long as I'm still in the service and still working, she or the rest of the family shouldn't have anything to worry about. Just won't be able to stop by for dinner as much as I'd like. She says I don't eat enough, that rations don't fill stick to your ribs enough. Hardtact isn't as bad as she makes it out to be, even if the flavor leaves something to be desired.
But I'm here, so well, see what's what.

I scored a 71 on the Gauntlet. Lord Corban can vouch for my performance. This of course has no reflection the fact that I am your older sister and therefore have more experience in these matters. 😁

I scored a 47 in the Gauntlet today. Princess Alarissa can vouch for it.
That's better than you, Lord Corban. I only mention it here because humility is a virtue and I want to help you develop it... since you have much about which to be humble.
Someone should invent a little picture a person could include at the end of a statement to let the reader know he's only jesting. I guess saying it outright will suffice - I'm only jesting, Lord Corban - but whoever's in charge of the scribes should set them to the task. This one just looked at me as if I'd suggested we should go eat some spiders.

I'm taking to the magistracy with aplomb and vigor. I thought it would be odd at first to be on this side of the bench but it feels natural to me. I still grow restless after a few hours of sitting and need a recess to stretch my legs. I don't like sitting still for long. Luckily now if someone is prattling on during a case I have the authority to make them wrap it up -- another perk of the position.

Relationship Note on Petal
Just tossing it out there, but the owner of the Tangled Skein does amazing work with imported steelsilk. It's rare I wear anything armor-like off the full battlefield, but these are light enough even for my lazy tastes and yet strong enough to block a blade. Someday I'll manage the rest of the set.
