Relationship Note on Agnarr
A brick wouldn't hit as hard
If I ran face first towards the wall
As Sir Agnarr and his sword
But then, why does he have to be so tall?
Grey eyes might remind one of steel
Though blonde doesn't seem the sun
Scars are always an attractive feature
But with that line, this poem is done

Oh, except I need to add that Saedrus Whisper is a gift from the gods.
And Mags' camping chair? Breakout hit. Who knew?

Miella, entering the back room of Works Obscura: They're gone.
Mirari, sitting on her couch being lazy: What do you mean they're gone?
Miella: Princess Alarissa, Princess Reese.
Mirari: ...I guess I'll make some more.

I was taught that a knight's first duty is service, and that the higher one is raised, the more one is beholden to the needs of those below. I pray that I do my duty well in the years to come.

Relationship Note on Khanne
Perhaps I should ask Khanne for a blessing from the spirits before I depart. Maybe two.

I think the Lycene have it right. Things are crazy and some alleged monster could crack your head in at any moment, so might as well enjoy yourself and live life to the fullest.
Last night, I had a Lycene kind of night. It was fun. And that is what matters, right?

I have publicly sworn myself to the Pantheon, given them each specific oaths and promises and I will strive to serve all as I have done before as a steward...rather than managing and keeping safe the domains of my noble employers, I will be a steward of the souls, hearts and minds of all of the Compact.
Interesting times.

I still want to make some sort of event to make the Gardens known.
But I'm feeling really tired, lately...

Relationship Note on Audric
Late payments. Undercutting. Stiffing.
But if you pay enough and if you especially have a long-standing contract with continued payments involved, you'd be surprised how loyal that would make an honest sellsword.
And Audric is, if nothing, honest.

Loyalty, however, works the same way. You can pressure, even force oaths. You can bring every possible instrument you can think of to bear on someone to get them to do what you want; coercion, threats, blackmail, torture, persuasion, bribery, hostage taking...humans get very creative when it comes to pushing someone else into something, after all. But it the end, loyalty--true loyalty--cannot be bought, forced, or commanded. If it could, after all, Writs wouldn't need to exist. And attempting to force someone's loyalty, much like attempting to force someone's trust, often has the opposite result.
If all of that sounds strange coming from a sellsword, think about how strange it is being the sellsword occasionally saying it to people who should damn well know better.
