Relationship Note on Alarissa

I have been told to clean my room and I obeyed.

What has my life come to?

Never have I met a man with so many bottles of liquor.

I solved that.

No. I didn't drink it all. But now they are so neatly stowed, organized in a new cabinet. A very... large, cabinet. Now I won't be catching my skirts on some of the very fine vintages that he possesses.

Now to get some plants in that room. A ficus or three, potted palms, something. Maybe a grand little bed for the cat. Maybe then she'll like me.

*A sketch of a small, stubby legged dog with a mixture of light and dark colors on her coat. Running around inside of what appears to be a garden, leapt halfway up attempting to snap teeth at a butterfly.*

I attended this Valardin carnival. Well, I showed up and watched the festivities and had the pleasure of having Dame Alexis touch my face with this weird smelling thing that made my beard behave in ways that a beard should not behave. I don't know what I looked like, she seemed to enjoy making me look "better"

I also lost another bet. Thankfully this one isn't going to see me in a dress, but it is presenting an unique set of challenges.

I don't think a kiss counts as a gift. So I will just have to come up with something that will suprise her.

Mangata, oh Mangata

I'm sending a basket of fish to you tonight. I'm hoping you like them. I spent a day by the beach, praying and catching them with my bare hands. It was hard, but I'm sorry for what I did. I hope this makes it a little better.

It was naive to think that the Grayson mission into the Gray Forest could be one of pure diplomacy. The reach of the Abyss and its servants is long and many tribesman have been taken in - either by lies or by foul corruption. I grieve that the Northern shav'arvani who fell to our blades were beyond saving, but for the life of my countess and those who traveled with us, I thank Gloria my blade was true.

And yet, I am still hopeful. The tribal leader who called herself White Feather seems open to peace and cooperation with us. Her people put steel in my hands when my own weapon was peacebound, and fought with us against the Northern infiltrators. Even some of the Northern tribesmen turned against their corrupted brothers and sisters and joined with us. There will be more and larger battles ahead, I fear, but I pray we can still succeed in finding new allies on this expedition.

Relationship Note on Jaenelle

I've seen her a time or two of course, being a Princess of house Velenosa, but I've never really had the pleasure of speaking with Princess Jaenelle until met with her in the Hundred Cities where apparently the two of us managed to find the scorn of Duke Cassius. As I am a man who enjoys a pretty face, I decided to strike up conversation, and her company only seems to get better each time we 'randomly' meet.

Relationship Note on Joscelin

I can count on one hand the number of people that I would do anything for; risk my life or help them bury a body, etc. Guildmaster Joscelin is one of those few, though it's doubtful my fellow smith and dearest friend would need any such thing from me. Still, if she asked? I would not hesitate or even ask questions, probably. I love that we are nowhere near the same women we were years and years ago, so matured and changed with life and experiences. Yet, somehow, also still those bright-eyed girls who loved working metal and forged (no pun intended) a fast friendship. Her opinion means the world to me. She lends me reason to get caught up in her untamed joy of life and, perhaps, I lend her a pinch of reserve to draw on if she may need it. No matter if we've not seen each other for a day, week, or nearly a year, that bond of friendship never fades; it is something I feel exceptionally grateful for. A quiet drink at an Inn while snow dusts over the evening is made all the more warm and cheerful in such company, and I can think of no better place in the world to be.

Meeting new people, growing to know others better, darling twin babies to admire, delicious food, challenging conversations, tips on preparedness... ... am glad I pulled away from copying music scores long enough to attend.

So many things are making my heart heavy. I hate this feeling, this sense of dread in my stomach that I have done something wrong. I dislike disappointing and I feel that I have done so several times of late. Things are changing and I was perfectly happy with how they were, thank you very much. But I have to think about the future and not dwell upon my personal failings.

In more exciting news, I am hosting a party for Sir Daemon Dracone and have invited what feels like half of Arx. Hopefully it will be an entertaining evening for all. The kennels have been completed, including the canine gauntlet. Once the warmer months come and the snow has melted, I picture there will be quite a few trainers conditioning their animals and practicing their commands. And just a few months after that...

Well. I should not get too far ahead of myself.

Relationship Note on Reese

I have nothing but praise for Princess Reese and her efforts in the Gray Forest. People talk a big game, sometimes, but the Princess backs it up with action. This last week has been an eye-opener for me, and I'm thankful for it.

Relationship Note on Clara

We had an interesting first meeting when there was discussion at one of the Inns at town. Then I helped rescue her from Shav'Arvani who were planning to sacrifice her and others. Though she thought I was a bad guy when I came into the tent and shanked me. But, it was well meaning.

I am reassured I have taken what steps can be taken has been taken. Again this is not a hunt I am equipped with, but I think I have found those who are.

A few days out on the seas has seen me refreshed and refocused. Back in the city there is the hustle of political life and I am ready to dive back into it.

Off to do what I do; save mine and hurt theirs. The black hawk will flutter red and gold over the seas again, with other banners at our side. It'll be strange doing a Compact joint effort but good to have our allies at our side and NOT fighting monsters for once.

I modified the Phoenix battlecry knowing that Death is female.
"What do we say to the Queen of Endings?"
"Get away from them, you BITCH!"

I rather like it.

It will be odd being under Anze's command but I trust the big lug and more importantly, I trust Calypso's judgement.

So, I may have gotten myself a little bit kidnapped, but not quite. I was sent on a scouting mission to get closer to a shav'arvani encampment I reported on. Shard was with me. And, well, I crunched a bit too loudly in the snow and got myself spotted, and then escorted into their camp. Couldn't speak a lick of the language, and after all my years of exploring and running into shavs this is really something I NEED to fix. It'll certainly make communicating if I stumble on them a bit easier. And, maybe learn a bit about stealth. I guess I never really thought much about it before now, since I typically scout out abandoned areas, and go spalunking into ruins.

Needless to say, we were rescued. I'll write more about what happened after our full mission is complete, so as not to risk our progress. What we're doing out here in the Gray Forest is important. So very important. And, if it saves lives, all the better.

These last days have been so busy...
I hope someone reads my announce and gives me a hand.
Preparing the first aid pouches for the shop is taking me a lot of time.
And I already sold two of three...
