Saw Magpie Grayhope's white journal (not that I check it often or anything, don't get any crazy ideas), if any of those nobles with money to throw around want to come down to the Iron Guard Barracks and shower us with some silver, let them know that we won't turn down the coin. Outfitting all these guards to keep the streets clean isn't cheap.

My friend, my special one that keeps a smile on my face: yes, you're right. You always are. You understand what I need to keep myself afloat on the stormiest of seas. You provide the direction as though you were a star, pointing true north --

Relationship Note on Rook
... I would like you to know that the amount of work for a wedding to come together is colossal and daunting and if I happen to conveniently be sent away for a time upon the seas, I will secretly dance with glee that it is you who will be stuck doing all the planning and work and meeting with people and all sorts of things that has to be done.
That sounds like a good idea actually.

I hauled my ass down here.. up here? whatever.. I hauled my ass to the archive to talk about this gorgeous lady that I'm going to take on a boating day trip, but then I remembered she didn't want me to tell anyone. Since I'm trying to hook up with her I should probably respect that.
So, instead I'll talk about a fun little meeting I had yesterday. Apparently some of the nobility think that us poor, sad, downtrodden folks of the Lower Boroughs need their caring hearts to shower rebuilding efforts and charity upon us. I had no idea we were so pathetic and helpless. If you're one of those nobles that wants to help us down here where the shit settles before being washed into the sea, feel free to bring donations in silver to the Murder of Crows and I'll make sure to distribute it fairly and without bias to the most needy residents around here. Sailor's honor.
(Please consider increments of ten thousand silver for the most effective means of redistribution)

Relationship Note on Ilvin
I have been completely, utterly heartsick since I learned of Petrae's passing one month ago. There is no other word for it. The people who brought me up were not keen on displays of emotion, so of course I have just been trying to bury the whole thing. Ineffectually, if I had to guess.
I happened to speak with Archlector Ilvin yesterday and while I don't feel better about her death, I feel better about feeling bad about it, if that makes sense. Also, the Shrine of Limerance has cookies. I shit you not.
Archlector Aureth was a comfort as well, though he did not bring cookies.

The merry war of wit is not yet over, is it? I wait with baited breath for the next volley. Though I shall promise in advance that there shall be no more livestock. I would not wish to annoy cousin Belladonna any further.

Relationship Note on Carita
Her issues are hers to reveal as she will, but seeing what I have seen and after much prayer to the Gods?
She did what she felt was right, and I believe that at least in principle, she had every right to her actions.
Do not ask me to clarify. Ask her, if she is willing. Get the truth of it, and then judge. But as for me and mine? she has proven her desire to see the right thing done.

It must be said: I have had nothing but good experiences working with the Whisper House, under the able leadership of the Radiant Whisper, Selene. Sometimes, we forget how integral the Whispers are to our society, particularly when so many of the nobility wish to resolve their own diplomatic issues (even when they truly, truly should not, but that is a sermon for another time, I think) rather than rely on trained experts for the tasks. Whispers have averted wars with a smile, and saved reputations with a few soft words in the right ears, and the Radiant serves that tradition well.

I'm called away for a joyous occasion - the negotiation of a marriage contract. I will see you all again very soon. Until then the Whisper House remains in good hands with my Softests and I have full confidence we will continue to entertain you until I return.

Reina Oscura; these lilies produce big flowers so dark they seem black - when they're really a blackened violet. Large red-orange stamens highlight these near-ebony blooms nicely. Their sweet fragrance is a lovely accent to their incomparable beauty.

Oh, I am too excited!
First I finally had a moment to sit and actually spend some time with Sebastian. The malaise I have been laboring under was gone swiftly. It is amazing how much my brother lifts my spirits. Then I had the most marvelous idea for an event to throw and even better, Belladonna liked it! I got word of her approval while Bastian and I were shopping in the market. Oooh, I have a personal project for him. I'm thinking of a dark, nearly black amethyst tunic with copper scales at the shoulders and cuffs, paired with a pair of leather breeches and a new pair of boots, he is going to look amazing! Oh, see? My mind overflows now that my sour mood has passed.
Anyway! So we were in the market and I got word from Belladonna that she likes my plan and then she directed me to the Softest Whisper Larissa -- oh, the praises I would sing of her. She is so very kind and easy to talk to! But I am getting ahead of myself, really. So we were at the market and I was looking at some scale work, for the aforementioned outfit for Bastian, when he spied the most charming artist perched on the fountain. Oh, but she was adorable with her short dark curls, but gods above the crimes she's committed on her clothing! The horror! I suppose the paint splotches suited her in a way, even if my heart bled for that gorgeous violet linen. So, what should happen next, but the minx hops off the fountain and hands Sebastian her drawing! And what a sweet thing it was, too. I was in delights over it. I could tell my brother liked the art and the artist -- though I'll not say more to embarrass him. While he was asking her about the Whispers, my eye was caught by a gleam off the largest sword in creation. Surely there is none more large than that of Prince Beaumont Valardin. I only had a moment of his time, but I found him quite charming.
After that we all went our separate ways and I found myself at the Whisper House and met Larissa. She was in such a state, feeling so poorly over the reaction to her auction, I assured her I was not there to discuss that event, but to inquire after hiring her to assist me with my own. See, I have been trying to assist my dear cousin with her project to raise funds to care for the orphans of the siege, and I thought what better way to do so than by hosting a fashion exposition! The idea is thus: I will be challenging all of the tailors, seamstresses, jewelers, haberdashers and cobblers in Arx to product something that showcases their skills. There will be a fashion show in which they can display their submissions. All the works will be available for sale and those that win will have glory (and prizes, of course) and the proceeds will be put directly into the fund to help those poor children. Does that not sound fun? I, of course, will be one of the judges! Oh I am beyond excited at this idea and I am so greatly looking forward to working further with the Softest Whisper.
So, to all ye artisans of Arx I put forth this challenge: Think up something marvelous, put imagination to fabric and show us all your skills! Be bold, be brave and above all... be *Fabulous*!
I cannot wait to see how this comes out!

Relationship Note on Gailin
Gailin is young and enthusiastic. I hope he manages to find his way. I am hesitant to see him dedicate his life to the Faith so easily but perhaps it will work for him. he wants to solve his crisis of Faith but making a grandiose show of it. I understand the urge all too well, but...
If Gailin does take vows he will make a fine Disciple of Gloria.
