Relationship Note on Sebastian

Twin, Best Friend.

Things do not plan for generations of life and then go silent to be bled out at the first kiss. They go quietly and wait. They cut a thousand times. They stab at your heart. They prick and prick until you are weak. And then the horizon grows darker still and they sweep in to finish the war of attrition they started.

We have yet to fight the real things that come to snuff the life from Arvum. We must begin to cast aside our difference as division is their strategy it must become our rallying cry.

Arvum needs butchers -- yet it needs them within the context of what the common core of the Compact can agree upon. I concede this in my prayers for wisdom.

Mangata guide my axe.

It is around the anniversary of when I came to Arx almost, and decided to open up shop here to sell my wares. I didn't think when I came, that I'd be a member of the Iron Guard, or fighting Brand's Army in the siege. So much has changed. Still, life takes us on different paths at times. We all have the Choice to choose which direction we wish. Amazing isn't it. Remembered Gods, and it's something to say when that isn't the most /curious/ thing to have happened while here.

Relationship Note on Juliet

Jewel that had no equal
Unique facets none could ignore
Lesser ladies so did envy
Incandescent way you shown.
Enigma, original, vivacious...
The words do not compare.

I once had the pleasure of running the Gauntlet against her. She wore no armor, instead she chose to wear a dress. I believe that is the way she embraced life. I would urge those that knew her to remember the amazing woman that danced to her own song rather than the tragedy of her death.

I'm not sure what to think about the fight with smugglers and brigands down at the docks. It seems they were planning to sell false goods on the market. In any case, I'm glad the situation was handled with non-lethal force, and everyone came out of it alright. I'm not fond of upsetting people from the Lower Boroughs. I know that is a curious statement, but while we must perform our duties, I feel sometimes that the citizens there would prefer to handle their own business. At least that's the impression I was given by some of them that have commented in the past. I just wish there was a way to help everyone, where crime was not something people needed or wanted to turn to. I'll do my best to assist others as I'm able.

Ran into a spot of ordinary crime today. I feel a little bit sorry for Officer Estardes that he missed it.
I took out two brigands without killing them. Improvement!

Relationship Note on Juliet

I will not say not to mourn for Juliet Fidante, for grief is always for what we have lost, and with her loss, we have lost.

But despite the violence of her ending, I know that her soul has been gathered into the hands of the Queen to be protected and cherished.

She was ready to lay down her life for the Compact and for the Faith. She looked into my face and swore to me she'd bring my friend back to me alive.

Whatever else she was in life, she was a hero, and a Paladin, who loved her god well. To whomever killed her, know that the Thirteenth sees you, as does the Sentinel.

Mother of Beginnings, for you have gathered this soul into your hands, this soul who helped slay your enemy with her whole heart: I look forward to what shape her next life may take.

Relationship Note on Juliet

They say a candle that burns twice as bright burns twice as fast. And you burned so very brightly.

If asked for the record of my life they would say I never had a daughter...

And now we mourn my most beloved cousin. Juliet. She called me Aunt and I held her when she was a babe. I held her a week before she was taken from us, in fact. I will see her memory honoured in any way I can. It's impossible to imagine doing less, even if I cannot do more.

Please, scholar, record that on this day the Corsetina Merchantile Company has closed its doors for a period of mourning. We will sell no wares while we mourn Lady Juliet Fidante, the Paladin of Reflections.

Relationship Note on Edward

I have always enjoyed a sharp and clever mind, and when it is matched by a warm heart and fueled with compassion and integrity - you are faced with a very rare breed of man indeed. The Lord Redreef is, in my humble opinion, one such man and I am very honored to be counted among his friends. He offers sound advice and sage wisdom and then he'll turn around on you and start singing a pirate shanty. A perfect balance of a gentleman and a rogue.

Relationship Note on Juliet

Fear no more the heat o' the sun;
Nor the furious winter's rages,
Thou thy worldly task hast done,
Home art gone, and ta'en thy wages;
Golden lads and girls all must,
As chimney sweepers come to dust.

Fear no more the frown of the great,
Thou art past the tyrant's stroke:
Care no more to clothe and eat;
To thee the reed is as the oak:
The sceptre, learning, physic, must
All follow this, and come to dust.

Fear no more the lightning-flash,
Nor the all-dread thunder-stone;
Fear not slander, censure rash;
Thou hast finished joy and moan;
All lovers young, all lovers must
Consign to thee, and come to dust.

No exorciser harm thee!
Nor no witchcraft charm thee!
Ghost unlaid forbear thee!
Nothing ill come near thee!
Quiet consummation have;
And renowned be thy grave!

I don't pray a whole lot. I still don't, but I never really did. Sometimes though, I did. I contradicted myself I know, I'm just trying to get my fucking thoughts together here.

Sometimes when I speak and act like Mangata is the one hearing it, it feels alright. Feels like somebody's listening more than usual. I ask about the waves sometimes. I don't get an answer but then the next day I start feeling the tides being a little calmer. It doesn't make much sense to me.

Maybe there's something about this praying thing I'm just not getting yet.

I am not much of a journal reader. I sometimes hear what folk are gossiping about, when someone writes something in their journal that causes a stir for a good reason or a bad one. But the truth is I've got better things to read when I've got a head for reading, which isn't all the time. There's all matter of fancy books to read with good stories in them and I'd rather read those.

But some journals I read, though I don't know why, as they seem more often to embarrass me rather than enlighten me, such as they are. I am no Scholar, but I don't expect Vellichor would like to know anything about anyone licking anyone else and I'm sure no one else does either.

Relationship Note on Alexis

Dame Alex. Dragon's Hearth. She's an armorer and a knight. She's got a bigass rubicund sword. She smiles a LOT. Seems nice, so, we're gonna be friends. AND she's gonna make me some armor. Definitely a good way to spend my allowance.

Relationship Note on Juliet

I had a dream, which was not all a dream.
The bright sun was extinguish'd, and the stars
Did wander darkling in the eternal space

Such a mixture of emotions are brimming within
Happiness for my new marriage with blessings that over-runneth
Sadness for the death of my cousin
Joy for a female Countess
Despair for what may be to come
Yet I remain dancing
I remain singing
I remain making music
I must stand strong
Tears in the his wake, not at the his wake
