If anyone sees me today: you'll notice me wearin' pink. if you say somethin', like it makes me look like a tomato, I don't care - I'm kickin' you in the shin.

Relationship Note on Fergus
The Redrains have become close friends and allies and when Shirtless Boy marries my niece they'll be family. Couldn't ask for better. Fergus is quickly becoming one of my good friends - someone I shit with and drink with and enjoy just being a soldier around. Plus we can joke about dead ANYTHING and not think the other twisted and sick. Well, we -do- think the other is sick and twisted and that's what we like about it.

I had a marvelous encounter with my cousin Nicia, a valiant Dame, Leta Broadbent and Prince Antonio, a dashing and newly elevated admiral. I keep hoping that the stories I send to Sebastian will hasten his arrival to Arx. While I like to think of myself as a complete person, independent and all, there is just something about being a twin. When he is far away I can feel it, all of the time, like an ache or an itch, unceasing. If we are in the same town or city I can go days without seeing him and be fine. But when the miles that separate us number in the hundreds... I yearn.
Is that a strange thing, or is it normal? Either way, I love the cretin.
Perhaps I should throw a party to see if I can't ease this gnawing feeling.

Relationship Note on Nicia
Fret not, darling cousin, I have something in mind for you. It will take me a little while to put it all together, but soon enough we shall have you in a frock that will have all the jaws dropping. You are so very lovely.
Also, and this really should have been the first thing I said -- I am so very glad to see you again too. Some of my fondest memories of childhood were the games we used to play.

I've been told I should go out.
And that I should make new friends.
I'm trying...
But some days it's just hard...

Tempting looks that burn
Rival wanting the renders
Accepting flaws beneath the
Guard. Beneath the scars.
Ever faithful to our houses.
Denying thoughts past lust.
Yes, I want him…no I don’t.
Answers bring more questions.
Trembling fingers write dark thoughts.
Still my wanton thoughts.
Adorn my house as armor
Never speak, never ponder
Collecting our missing bits
Trusting no one, locked forever
Unyielding in our faith that
Marriage does not fit in either.

So much to catch up on.
Ben's taking a sabbatical. I can't blame him. A city doctor has -no idea- what horrors a war can bring to his doorstep. So for the time being I'm in charge of the Guild. I've been going through the shav refugees and seeing which of them were their own physicians or herbalists and seeing if they want to start a new life with us. If not, there's the plan to send them to Southport and our own lands of the Lycene to begin anew.
I attended the groundbreaking for the Shrine to the Lost Queen and told the -worst- jokes. I mean, dead baby and dying soldier jokes. I believe, if Aureth is right, Her sense of humor and mine are similar. I think we would be frienimies. Two best bitches who joke about everyone else when together and rip on one another when not. I won a flowerpot shaped like a skull; it's going alongside the -real- skulls in my room.
I went to the masque and fuck do I hate masquerade balls. After months of Bringers in disguise as humans, the last fucking thing I want is humans disguised as weird shit. I almost broke Saedrus' hand when he touched me. I would have loved to sit and bullshit with the guys longer and prove once again I can outdrink even a Redrain but I was too jumpy.

Got no clue what you're talking about. Me and Freja are perfectly behaved in public.
It's not like we'd start brawling in the Whisper House, right?
Shit, that's just talking crazy.

Someone I know from Tor might be coming to the city, but I'm not sure if Arx is the kind of place she might like. She was a friend from a while back, but she much liked her home. I hope she comes to visit at the least. It is nice to have familiar faces around.

I believe I now fully understand the feeling my father must've had every time he yelled, "If you two don't stop, I'll have them turn these horses around!" to my sister and brother on long trips through Arvum.
At least I'm okay with turning into my dad.

I'm a little surprised at how happy I am to see Juliana here. Do not get me wrong, I love my family, but there is some relief to know that if I ever need a hit over the head about when it is or is not appropriate to wear feathers and sparkle, I've got her here to remind me that sometimes I should pay more attention to my clothes than just function.

You guys are gross.
I do admire it so.
Post script: Don't worry, my magpie, I'll never pay anyone to plant your face in the dirt. That's my pleasure alone.

Relationship Note on Edward
Lord Edward, I have seen your prose. You give me a boon with your words. I am honored that my rites to Jayus are recognized and appreciated. As a Sword, I have many weapons at my disposal. One of the most powerful is my quill, because I can use my ink to influence change. To right wrongs. To celebrate the Crown and the Compact. To give praise to the Pantheon for seeing us through the siege and helping us recover.
Hope, love and wit are tools to be used against our enemies. Because it shows their efforts do not daunt us. They do not cow us. They do not quell our inspiration.

Relationship Note on Aleksei
Archlector Aleksei-- or Alley Cat as Luca calls him?-- is a proficient fighter. He also won the 1,000 silver Eleyna paid out to potential challengers. Apparently he's going to buy a pew with it for his temple. I think that's code for drugs.
I didn't get the overwhelming urge to punch him when he opened his mouth... but we were already crossing blades, so there's that.
