Relationship Note on Juliet
The sun rises once more on a world absent of you. I always said I couldn't imagine a future without you, and I confess that I still can't. Yet, in spite of all that, here it comes. Whether or not I'm ready for it. Each breath feels a betrayal, each moment I steal away without you. People keep telling me that I would have met the same fate, had I been there to try to keep you safe, as I always swore I would. They are absolutely correct, but I can't help but wonder, would that be so bad?
I shouldn't talk like that. You'd give me such a cross talking to if you heard me say that. I just miss you so much. We were going to do so much together. You should be here. You should be plotting a way to get Percy to marry you. You should lend me your dress so that I can feel like a paladin for a night. You should be with me.
You were my first love, my first kiss, and until the end, I know I had a significant part of your heart. I'm grateful for those 19 years of knowing you. It's greed that makes me pine for more, but, life doesn't always go as you plan, and so my plans with you were cut short. I wish we could have seen Tor together one last time. It will have to wait until our souls are rejoined with another turning of the wheel.
I will always love you. Until next time.

The money that you think you're owed?
It doesn't exist. It never existed.
You were cheated, you were swindled. Just like the rest of us. And if that sum you were given is too paltry? Then donate it to someone who does need it.
Unfortunately this is the cost of doing business with corrupt business men. You do not see your fair shake. None of us will. We are all at fault for allowing this to happen, to let it go unchecked.

Relationship Note on Juliet
I went to help Inquisitor Laric with his inquiry into the death of Lady Juliet Fidante.
I like to think I am usually an eloquent person, but I have no words. No one should ever have to even /see/ what we saw... and certainly no one should have to meet their end that way.
To see that befall anyone is horrible. When it's someone you knew, who you often spoke to, it's far worse. She didn't deserve that. Gods and spirits, NO one does.
I just...
No, I'm sorry. I truly don't have the words.
May Death grant her soul a pleasant life on her next journey around the wheel.

Well. That was utterly horrifying. But when you are called upon by Legate Orazio to assist the Inquisition with their investigation into the most grisly of murders, well, one cannot say no. And so I prayed to Limerance to strengthen my heart, and went.
I took a bag of cookies from the Shrine as well, just in case anyone was hungry.
Turns out murder is, well... murder, on the appetite.
Ah, in any case. I'm just trying to distract myself from the horror with some mild humor. The things I've seen tonight- I don't think I'll be sleeping well for a while. And the stench of the Abyss, gods, how it lingers. I'll... write more, later. For now, I'll have to see if the Devotions at the shrine have discovered where I'm hiding my emergency wine yet.

I got three paladin figurines from Highway Robbery. They're cute, but I don't really want them. So I left them around the Boroughs, if you find them, keep them!

Judgement was made in anger, I'll admit that readily. Nothing is ever as it fucking seems in this city. Always another line, another puppet, another something or another that crawls out from a demon-infested pit to deal with.
Bah. I shouldn't have said what I did when I'd first heard. There's something else to all of this. We'll figure it out for as long as we can stay not clutching at each other's throats.
Our House won't be divided.

Thinking about getting a training pavilion built on the villa grounds. Kind of floored that the Lycene have one of their own and we don't. How's that shit work?
Going to talk to Darren, talk him into it. Open air to the elements, let you fight in rain and snow. Maybe it'll even double as a bonfire pit. I could go for some drinks around a fire instead of at Spirits for a change of pace.
Going to be good, I'm betting.

What is trust worth? If it can be shaken at the slightest provocation.
Perhaps it's one of those words that, as humanity, we have tacked on a meaning to something that in truth, does not.
No, that can't be true, I have plenty of trust. I trust that Mangata will fill my sails when I need her the most. I trust that Sentinel will see justice done. I trust that the Gods have our best interests at heart.
The people that they shepherd? Not so much.

There is many a person that likes to bluster and threaten, without any intention on following through with what they say.
I do not threaten and I do not bluster, I warn. It is a rare thing, for me to move against anyone without them being advised explicitly what they have done wrong, giving them the opportunity to stop whatever it is that they do, to make amends for what it is that they have done. There are any number of people that can confirm that this opportunity that I give is a sincere one; if my warning is heeded, then all is well.
In the cases where this warning is not heeded?

I sometimes lay awake at night, I confess, wondering what life would have been like had he not done, what he did. If things had no happened, that happened. What would we all be like in this house. Then I have to remind myself that there is nothing to turn back the tides of time, and that wondering what was, will bring me no better to understanding what is.
As I told another, I do not think that is a yoke around my neck, being his widow. But I believe perhaps that it is a chain. Delicate and frail, and I cling to it in as much as it anchors around me. Some days, I wonder if it it is time for the chain to break, but then I fear what would happen if it did. That I would lose that which is on the other end forever.
What would He want me to do?
We will wade through grief side by side till we find a place to plant our feet that does not feel like sand and see where our disparate paths will venture us forth. He is right. At least there is someone that I can wade through this all with.
