As it stands, I've pledged to fight for the family both on and off the field of battle and am committed to doing so. After all, who best to fight for than the ones you love? However, the battlefield seems large and unfamiliar. More training seems to be in order...

I was serious when I said I'd barge in to your room with a bottle of whiskey, too. I'll do it!

Now the same people that mocked me or would call me madman eagerly prepare to face their "new" foe.
A part of me is bitter, and the other is eager to join them.
I only hope it is not to late.

Three cheers for Duke Leo and the Grand Duchess Esera. That wedding is going to slay!
Hopefully not literally.

Relationship Note on Zhayla
And sure enough, she just needed to get past my guard a few times and I was done for. No amount of steel plate could save me and I could not knock her out before she could hit me; that was the ultimate plan.
Still, I have no regrets, and I applaud her victory.

Dear Sir First Captain Rymarr:
This is my first letter I've ever written anyone! I asked one of the scholars what to do and they are helping me, but I'm writing it on my own, so if I get anything wrong it's my fault, not theirs. Since you told me to write you to tell you what I'm doing and what I've learned, here's what I've done in the last few days:
I finally finished setting up my room, I think. The Marquessa let me have my pick of items in storage at the Deepwood Manor. I have so many pictures of all kinds of things! Some of them are places I recognize, or look like places I recognize, anyway, but there's a lot of them that I don't recognize at all. I don't know what else to do with all the space so I've put a bunch of rocks I like on the windowsill and desk. What do you do with your space?
I fought in the melee organized by Lady Calypso. I saw Leta there and someone else that I later learned was Lord Commander Silas, except he said that we were the only commoners there, except he's a Lord? I thought he was a commoner, anyway, so when I saw two people fighting him I asked if Silas minded if I fought one of them. Except the guy I fought didn't actually have any armor on, so after I hit him twice I didn't want to hit him anymore. He was actually really, really, really hard to hit. He must be very good. After that I fought some big northerner that I'm pretty sure I fought before, but he was totally silent, and it was a little weird. I think he would have beaten me if like three other people weren't fighting him at the same time. After that I think it was basically just the Lord Commander, me, and someone else, and they both started fighting me instead of each other! I didn't want to fight the Lord Commander, who I thought wasn't a Lord Commander, so I was trying to hit the other guy. I got very lucky and managed to take him out of the fight. After that it was me and Silas and he just kept hitting me and hitting me and I couldn't get past his guard at all until all of a sudden I did in two big hits and then I won. It was very strange and a little scary and honestly I probably need to go see the healers still, although they did a very good job after. How do you find healers?
I went to the Shrine of Gloria, too, and talked to this tremendously stern looking woman who answered a bunch of my questions, but maybe not in a way I'm entirely satisfied with. I don't know if there any good answers to my questions.
The idea of honor is such a funny thing. Like I didn't want to fight that guy without armor after hitting him twice, because if I hit him again it could have really hurt him, so was fighting someone else honorable, or just smart, because if he did get hurt, I'd get blamed? And I still don't see what's honorable about sparing someone just so that they can go on to hurt others. I think it's selfish to hold your own idea of honor above the wellbeing of others. Sometimes the right thing to do isn't the honorable thing, but I didn't want to tell her I thought that.
I'm really looking forward to telling the Marquessa I won, but I don't want it to sound like I'm bragging. Not too much. Just bragging a little. How should I tell her, do you think?
Hope you are having a good day doing knight things. You should tell me about them!

Because then, to the Bringer, if you aren't with them, then you are an obstacles.
Also, of note? Those fuckers are -fast-. On horses, we'd not have made it. Tristan would have because he's part horse and the beasties listen to him, but the rest of us would have been jam.

Relationship Note on Rymarr
He thinks I should learn to ride, which seems like a terrible idea, because horses are 1000 feet tall, and said that I should talk to really important people, including a _LEGATE_. He's probably spent too much time being a Sir First Captain if he thinks that's normal, but he said I should write him letters to tell him what I'm learning, so I will.
