Relationship Note on Leona
But gods and spirits, she's a demon when it comes to training!
Running an obstacle course backwards while defending oneself... it's actually practical, gods know. I've been forced to move backwards on uneven terrain by something attacking me more than once in the field. But running the obstacle course once, doing the attacking-along-it twice, and then running the course a fourth time... I know I've been behind a desk at the Society too long, but every joint aches.
It's a good ache, mind you, but an ache nonetheless. (In contrast, I don't think she even broke a sweat. And that backflip was really just excessive.)
But she invited me back to train more. I have a feeling that's only the beginning of what she could -- and would -- put me through. Still, it can only help my performance in the field when I get out there and /explore/ properly again, so perhaps I'll take her up on it.

As an aside, I really need to find out which of those squires thought I was a monster for that easy little jaunt so he can find out what a monstrous workout is really like.

Relationship Note on Juliet
My blunt honesty was something she said she loved about me, so I'm going to honor that and be who I am.
Juliet betrayed me. Broke my heart - and yes, I have one and yes, I cared for her.
When we first became lovers, I told her I did not want to give my affection and time to someone who placed themselves in harms way. Leave that to me. I didn't want to go through the grief and pain of losing someone to a horrific death on the battlefield.
So what does she do? Goes off and fights Brand.
I would -never- stand in the way of duty; we Malvici know that all to well. Duty always comes first.
But she had to put herself in that situation and I couldn't deal.
Then she went and got herself really messily killed. I don't know what, or what why... but it was everything I told her I couldn't bear to live through again.
So yes. I was going to break off our relationship. Even before she made a fool out of us at the Auction. That would have been our last time together. All of this, I would have told her.
And I'm also -pissed- no-one has let me see the scene. I'm a fucking doctor and have seen plenty of things just as obscene. So fuck you, don't try to shelter me, let me do my damn job and try to find out what happened to my friend. Let me face that nightmare and be done with it.

Relationship Note on Aislin
I've been in her place before under the very same instructor. There will be sweat and possibly tears. That very same instructor made me rethink my life choices a number of times.

The pool party was a smashing success. Well, for everyone *not* aboard the Ship of Fools. It was an exercise in folly to invite me aboard, but at least it was amusing, no? My brother Abbas is a man of great and vigorous spirit. Fairly certain all gathered was treated to the sight of his "spirit" for most of the day. My. I hope he didn't burn.

I think that the next time the opportunity arises we shall perform all the better for this experience, hopefully with a fully crewed vessel.

I've yet to find the legal loophole that would allow arrest based on dubious puns, but I'll find it, rest assured.

Relationship Note on Agnarr
Y'know, that huge rosy redsteel he goes around with. I'll add that he didn't even wear any armor, and I was in my full kit. Kinda expected it to happen, considerin' all. When he wins, he doesn't gloat. (New word. Thanks, Scholar.) He gave me a bit of advice, a bit of whiskey.
Dot liked him plenty good.
He ain't too bad.

Relationship Note on Samantha
Honored Minister -
Knowing Mother Mercy Sophie has her hands full with her work, and not being too aware of the credentials of others in the city, I would accept with honor if no more suitable candidates can be located.
In service to the crown,
Lady Eirene Malvici
As Dictated:
I know Sophie's too fucking busy and damned if I know anyone else who can do it, so tell her I fucking guess so, if I have to?

Tonight I'll be hosting a sponsorship night, a very casual soft opening since many of the areas of the park are still in various stages of construction. Feel free to come down and look around at the future of the menagerie and learn about the opportunities to get your name associated with a place to relax or an exhibit to look at. Sponsors, I'm hoping to see you tonight or sometime this week to register your intent of design with me so I can pass it on the architects! For everyone else, you may be interested in entering the Water Fountain contest! I'm asking the public to come up with their best ideas for the center piece fountain within the main plaza and then the sponsors (all levels) will vote on the best one!
Other than that, I'm hosting a masquerade with the aid of Maquessa Deepwood to lift spirits, bring some joy to everyone for a night, and generally have fun while all efforts continue to go to the menagerie - and what doesn't will be donated to a charitable cause. Don't leave your mask to the last minute, it promises to be a great time!
Please note that the scholars may take some time preparing your journal for others to read.
