I pity any crafters my mischievous brother may contact regarding a gift of shin-protecting boots for his sister. They may well have to choose if they craft for a satisfied customer should he request any details such as a different size for each foot, heels that change a gait into a wobble, shafts of different heights, or incorporate malodorous raw leather, or craft for a satisfied wearer who would be happy to display their fine work instead of just throwing it at said brother.

Please no one die at least until tomorrow. I need to clean the Chamber of Stillness on account of reasons.

Relationship Note on Leona

Sometimes, your shot in the dark finds the target.

Yesterday, I had one of those times with Lord Commander Leona Thrax, leader of the King's Own.

It is good to see in these sometimes bleak times that the luck of the gods smiles upon me occasionally.

I must give credit where credit is due. This week alone I have visited two shops in town for different reasons. The first stop was at Mistress Joscelin Arterius' Atelier. She originally was going to craft mine and Inigo's wedding bands, but when I was presented with the opportunity to honor my brother, the former Duke Leo Fidante and the former Archduchess Esera Velenosa by using the rings they were supposed to exchange on their wedding day, I could not pass it up. Both of our rings needed a little but of sprucing up and I could not be more pleased by her excellent work.

The second shop I visited with a set purpose, was Mistress Petal Penrose's Tangled Skein - Wooden Web. I knew she talented when it came to fabric and I heard she makes some delicious confectionaries, but I was awed at her handy work with wood. I have been working diligently on creating the perfect ambiance for Tor Plaza as well as the courtyard in my private home. I just know Mistress Petal's work is going to truly make the space feel warm and inviting. It will be a space all will enjoy rather than just breezing through.

Thank you ladies for your hard work and your dedication to your craft. You should both be so very proud of your accomplishments.

Relationship Note on Tarik

I'm sorry I had to leave you to the mission. I trust you will do well with the people we've brought together. But you know as well as I, sometimes a man has to do what he has to do. There are choices to make, hard ones... hard ones like this one, to abandon the company we brought together, for a different path. A path that speaks loudly to me and one that very well may be in my blood let alone my heart and soul. I will still ask for your forgiveness.

We will see each other again.

Good luck, where ever the Gods may lead you.

I should probably thank my lucky stars this contract didn't take us too far north. We only packed light winter gear for this one, and it'd probably take half a week to get the heavy stuff from HQ if House Grayson insists on pushing out of the forest.

Wish I had talked them into hiring more men, too.

I thought all the blushing and hand holding was keeping you warm enough, Tiny.

Supplies have been prepared, orders given. We will return hopefully successful. And alive. I doubt my betrothed would wish to wear a mourning dress, though she does look good in black.

To feel intensely is not a symptom of weakness. While you cannot control the depth of a wound another inflicts upon you; you can control how you get even.

( -- with an edit to add: You can control how you react. )

It seems I have been challenged. I am surprised it has not happened sooner and for different reasons.

Relationship Note on Carita

My patron is one tough woman. That shouldn't come as a surprise; those of us from the Lowers have more street savvy, guts, and determination than any highborn silk. But Lady Carita combines both the high and the low, and is even better as a result. I admittedly don't have any idea how silk politics works, but she's going to kill anything she puts her mind to.

I'm proud to be her protege.

And the silver is nice, too.

You won't catch me singing the praises of cold weather. But I'll take it over the sticky, humid misery southern Arvum calls summer.

And here we prepare for the march to the north. I'm not sure what to write, but I know this battle will be important for the Compact. With only a handful of men compared to the great armies I'll be under the command of, I wonder if I'll be able to make a mark for the name of the King and gods, for elven-kind, for every thing that lives upon this land as free, and to release those under the enemy from their enslavement to powers past our knowledge. It's like some kind of fairy tale, except this is quite real, and much of the balance on Arvum remains in our hands. We will win. We must. There is no other option, no matter what.

Won’t discount desolate beauty, light diffused by ice, so forth. Material for a thousand sketches.

Relationship Note on Reigna

Rei, I would like nothing more in this world then get to be the midwife for you and Kael's first baby. It would be the /greatest/ honor to get to help you both welcome your most dearly loved one into this world. One that is full of love and brightness, and oh so much hope! It would be a welcome ray of sunshine in the light of all that has been happening. A sign to those that wish to harm this family and those it loves, that our unity and strength is a force to be reckoned with. And that no harm will come to Squall, so long as I can help it.

The journey undertaken wasn't one that I had expected: fitful sleep, bad dreams piled on top of more bad dreams, and a chilling cold that was reminiscent of the Northlands. I've never seen waters quite so icy, but for all the cold and mild discomfort, I'm glad I went. It was my hope to find some more answers, to bring light on matters that still puzzle me, instead I left with even more questions. Funny how that seems to happen..every time. Though I certainly know a bit more now than I did going in, if not as well a bit depressed, but who wouldn't be, after that. There are things pressing in at the back of my head, things I noticed, but didn't want to notice. Spirits, I need a fucking drink. Several of them. Maybe I should just dunk my head in the whiskey barrel when I get home.
