Relationship Note on Vanora
I think the Lady Vanora will make a good addition to the family. She's smart and ambitious - exactly what we expect from our kin.

The reappearance of the Gyre is troubling, especially with him striking so far north. There are a lot of questions and not a lot of answers at this time.

Relationship Note on Ida
Dame Ida, the hammer of the west. Makes armor and weapons. Not bad. She shows respect, which is good and is just barely not some dumb kid thinking they're the best in the world.

To be honest, being Inquisitioned wasn't that terrible. They were terribly polite about it and didn't dunk me in water even once. I even got a nice certificate of non-wickedness out of it.

When my cousin asked I help with family social obligations, I never imagined coping with representing the family at a fealty dinner so soon. Did not know anyone there but it was delightful, and colorful. There were under-currents in some conversations, a risky game of drinks, and at the end, a challenge issued.

There more I keep considering Prince Velenosa's challenge, the more I keep debating commissioning more portraits just to be contrary! I shall give this some thought.
Hmm, I best not mention this to Cambria either, Pretty sure this time I'd get disapproval for stirring the pot unnecessarily.

See, this is the kind of thing I keep warning my Niece the Marquess about. In the meantime, I have this duel to consider. Use a Champion they all keep saying. It's like they are trying to be respectful of their elders. I AM NOT THAT ELD!!!

As usual, dinner at the Velenosa estate was... exciting. I'm glad my guest had a good time, even if she suffered from a light case of poisoning.

I think I will not play any games that have to do with drinking any kind of mysterious drinks at fancy dinners. Wine is bad enough as it is when you are trying not to stick your foot in your mouth, as they say. I'll just stick to watching other folk drink them, as there's a lot you can learn by doing that. I learned noble folk sent portraits to one another when arranging a marriage, but I suppose that makes sense if they don't all live in Arx.
I've tried gelato, and I find I quite like it, though I reckon I'd like it better in the summer. It was a very interesting Velenosa dinner, but they usually are. And I quite liked the wine as well which was very pleasant and went well with the gelato.

Lord Valerio's probably not a bad man, really. Probably roped into a manipulative plot by Eleyna, even. Still, no chances are being taken. The challenge has been issued and I await the terms.

Relationship Note on Valerio
Lord Valerio Mazetti,
Voeyeur of Ostria,
Purveyor of Portraits,
I challenge you to a duel, on your given terms and against any champion you may name, in response to my offense taken during dinner this night. As guest right insists I leave you unharmed in this homestead, and quite frankly my legs are not the most sturdy, we will settle this outwith these walls as traditon dictates.
Don't ever request or accept another rendition of my wife's likeness ever again. Burn all existing portraits, if any remain.
Prince Talen Velenosa,
Sword of Lenosia

So..back in Arx. And the chaos has returned just in time for my arrival, what joy. I had thought that, considering how long I was gone, I might get to enjoy a bit of peace and quiet upon returning..that things might have calmed and normalized somewhat. Guess that's a never going to happen. On the other hand, I suppose that when it's quiet you have to worry just what the other side are up to..

I could not be more proud to be from the Lyceum than I am at this very moment. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect to marry a man from House Malvici, nor would I ever have assumed the former Duke Malvici would now be the Marquis of one of my vassal houses. But here we are, Inigo and Hadrian are warmly welcomed into the fold.
Inigo and I had designs for our own rings but I came into the wondrous gift that was to be Leo and Esera's wedding bands so instead of our own rings, we chose to honor them both by using their rings instead. Our wedding was exactly as I thought it would be, quiet, intimate, private. It was just the two of us - and of course the officiant and a witness, but it was just Inigo and I in that moment and I felt the gods bless us that night.
I am looking forward to our reception. It will be a lavish affair as are all Fidante festivities.
