Relationship Note on Ainsley
I worry about him. Moreso, since I know he doesn't worry about himself. I don't know what I would do if Ainsley died. I don't know if I would survive it.
Stop being so cavalier with your own life. Please...?

No matter what Ainsley says he was not fine. I come upon my brother grinning like a fool, drinking tea at Whitehawk Manor like he is king of the world... And bleeding to death in front of his hosts. If he were not dying I would kill him myself! What on earth does he think he's doing?
As for the people with him. If thoughts could kill I would likely have accidentally flambeed the lot. Save, of course, for Aiden. Aiden is the one who brought me there and saved Ainsley's life. He's the only one among them with a lick of sense, and I swear that...
(From here the journal descends into rambling about how people need to take better care of themselves, Ainsley is an idiot, and so on.)

Relationship Note on Abbas
I will admit when I first came to Arx and I was told of him I was scarred of him, a Thrax Warlord and Prince he has a very hard shell. But there is something else there as well. I got to see some of the other side of the man even got into a drinking contest with him. I would feel safe with him any day protecting me and mine. Oh and by the way I won the contest.

Relationship Note on Freja
Now when I returned to this city, I didn't know what to expect but getting to meet new people is always a good time. However getting to meet Freja was the highlight of my week. Gods the woman is gorgeous, brilliant, enjoys her libations, and can toss an axe. Marry me. You and me are fast friends and although Dagon may not let me hold his sword, perhaps I can convince you to let me hold yours? I mean it's so shiny and sharp. No one ever lets me handle the sharp things except for Uncle Dominic.

Relationship Note on Calypso
I had the opportunity to watch the Lady General play the game of chess today. Very interesting in strategy and representing the archetypes of society. All the pawns of course, doggedly marching ahead. Castles advancing and reinforcing the line, knights moving round in eccentric yet predictable flourishes.
I found it particularly interesting that the most powerful piece on the board is not the King, but the Queen. What does he think, I wonder, while she is out in the field cutting down foes and earning acclaim? After busying himself with the difficult decision of a black or white square for the night's drinking, does he ruminate in petty jealousy? Does he fester and blubber, complaining to the pieces he has surrounded himself with?
Does he, rising from impotence, become the Fool? Who, unfamiliar with the straight line of valor, advances on the honorable with crooked steps?

Relationship Note on Dagon
Oh Dagon, I only kicked you in the shins because I couldn't reach your nether regions. Rest assured cousin, one day I will hold that sword! Besides, it has been several days now, and no matter where I am looking. High or low, I still don't see a gift. Not a single little token of your affection. I guess I will have to settle for that quick wit of yours, it is a gift to us all. I love you cousin and I promise to never ever throw a knife in your general direction...on purpose...unless asked.

This week has been wild. Coming back was interesting to say the least.
Duels, Rites, and Thraxian wakes. I still can't believe the devastation
to the Thrax Ward, but to see everyone so unified brings me hope for
a brighter future. I know it may be impossible to ever see eye to eye,
but seeing people set aside their differences for the greater good has
been refreshing.

A quieter week than the last, with no exploding islands or other such calamaties, although as a whole we've been sorting through the aftermath of them. I spoke with Max's cousin Darrow about it a little, though it seems for now the investigation will be within the family and perhaps the Inquisition. Outside of this, I have enjoyed seeing some family back in the city, although on the whole I have felt more restless than anything. There have been a number of grand duels and displays, and I caught up with Reese at the Ambassador just before she went off to get shot full of arrows by elves - or something to that effect, as best I've gathered. And yet here I am sitting on my hands. Were that there was some task for me, at least, beyond bringing my wife's trade offers around.

Relationship Note on Fatima
My cousin has just returned, and made a bit of a spectacular showing of it so far, clearly a woman who likes being the center of attention. There's been drunking dancing (and knife throwing) and a fair amount of kicking me in the shin and bothering me about 'holding' the sword. Still, for all she teases and makes a big display of things, I'm happy to have more family around and I'm looking foward to her coming and visiting with Margot and I, and seeing the baby.
