Sometimes, I test people. I don't do it to be cruel, or unkind, or malicious.. I do it because I have to know if I can trust a person. So far the people I can trust can be held on one hand. Does this mean my tests are too hard or is everyone just so unwilling to prove themselves worthy of truth?
Time will tell, but just once I would wish that I wouldn't leave a meeting feeling nothing but disappointment.
Just once.

[Added to a previous journal entry where she wrote "I would cut out his heart to remind him it is mine."]
To be fair, however, it should be stated that my heart is also his-- Costas' --and I would cut it out to prove it to him.

Make new friends, but keep the old.

In my very limited experience, women don't scream at you like that unless they care about you.
Gods bless you both.

Man is nothing if not energized. I'm pleased to have someone like him driving things forward.

Like mating porcupines.

In these trying times it is important to remember that sometimes it is best to be seen, than heard. Or read aloud.

The Lady General is a noteworthy warrior. The safety of His Majesty's realm seems to be one of her many priorities; that is good. I look forward to another opportunity for both of us to test ourselves in the peace and quiet of hitting one another.

Ainsley
First Officer of the Iron Guard. He is a credit to their ranks. He possesses foresight and the ability to consider that even that which appears relatively mundane may pose a potential risk. A far cry from the first night that I met him, it is good to know that impression was not the full measure of the man.
The answer is no. Maybe.

The Lady Calypso said that regardless of any politics going on we still have a job to do. At the time she was discussing how to kill the bringers. She makes a good point.

Ira said today that anyone can snuff out a fire, but it take a true genius to be on fire oneself. He was on fire at the time he said that. Who knows maybe his fire can help burn Bringers?

My cousin-in-law, Duke Rubino.
I think he's my cousin-in-law.
There's a large chart in the library and I studied it until my head hurt.
It was upside down.
Someone should make him smile.
I don't think I'm that someone.

He's simply lovely! And so in love. I don't think he's a relation, more a cherished friend of the family? It doesn't matter. I liked being around him, though -- like most people -- I think he found my familiarity off-putting.
I'm trying to be more reserved.
Truly.

My lovely, lovely cousin. She was so kind to express some interest in my calculations and -- at least, I think that's what happened.
There was a cat.

It would be wonderful if the threats against my vassal might stop. I know that they are well-meaning, but there is only so much I am able to ignore. Hearing reports of others penning death threats is truly not something I enjoy.

Seems like I'm not the only one sending the smiling smithy death-threats if he does wrong by Joscelin. I rather like the fellow so I hope I don't have to break and re-set every single one of his fingers. His work is too quality to want to ruin it. Fortunately I think he is smart enough and kind enough to never need that kind of 'correction'. My warm wishes to them both.

Joscelin
Joscelin Arterius proved to be a quick friend shortly after meeting last year or so. We both have the same type of humor, both have a tendency to speak our minds, unafraid of who overhears - and it's particularly delightful to embarrass her whenever an opportunity arises. She is a woman blessed by Jayus, one, if not _the_ best, jeweler this city has to offer. Everything she makes is gorgeous, they truly are pieces of art. Jos is one of my best friends, and I couldn't be more happier for her and Felix. She deserves this. Happiness. Congratulations on this next chapter of your life, Boss Lady, it's an honor to be a part of it.
