Relationship Note on Ailith
I have met the Seraph on occasion, but have not had the chance to have any indepth conversation with her. She's a lovely woman, and I hope that someday I will be able to.

Relationship Note on Valery
I met a particularly nervous young lady at the training center. I didn't catch her name but I have to admire her desire to try and watch the sparring matches even though she doesn't like fighting.

Relationship Note on Silas
Sir Silas Mercier is a member of the Iron Guard, officially under my command as a guard but I find it increasingly awkward to command him in anything since he's more than capable of planting me like a tree in the training grounds. Still, sparring with him has been and I'm still be most instructive. The more that I hone my skills against his the better I will be.
If you can get time in the ring with him, it is well worth it.

[Written in not particularly nice script.]
I have learned several important lessons this week.
The first, do not spar with Sir Morgan without expecting to have your face planted in the ground.
The second, do not spar with Sir Silas unless prepared to be put face down in the training ring.
The third, Princess Reese is far politically wiser than I.
The fourth, Princess Reese is far wiser than I.
The fifth, the way to Princess Reese's heart is diamondplate. She told me as such.
The sixth, I am not strong enough nor skilled enough yet. I need to be training every moment that I can.
-A. Grayson.
Note: That fifth lesson is important insomuch that if I'm not careful my favorite cousin will drain my bank account in her quest for diamondplate.

I'm moving out of the Hundred Cities Inn and into the Pravus Manor. I shall have a room at the Pravus Manor. A room of my own, that is not likely to have been rented out for some something nefarious at some point.
I'm overjoyed.

Relationship Note on Samantha

After most had left, I said my real goodbyes, with just the family about. While yes, he was all of those things I mentioned during the memorial, he was all of the rest of the things I said he was after. Loyal, honest, brave.
He had the same focus for everything in life, whether work or people. When he stared at you, he was not simply looking but he saw you, you knew you were everything to him in that moment. I will miss being someone's everything. Silas was right though. Life will move forward whether I wish it to or not, and I can't allow it to move on without me. It is not a forgiving thing and I will be crushed beneath the weight of trying to hold all the slipping pieces together. It is an impossible task. Goodbye Horatio, I will think of you often, and fondly, but I must let you go.

I have been thinking about approaches to life lately and it has me pondering which of the great Houses or cultures may be the happiest.
I've heard the Thrax's "Tears in our wake, never at our wake" several times this week. It is beginning to grow on me. That might be dangerous.

There is a trophy in the Valardin audience hall that my sister had made for Princess Alis. I am certain that she thought that I would be ready to strangle her for it, but no. If she wants to poke me with that particular stick, well then. I've never been one unable to rise to an appropriate challenge. Especially one that promises more entertainment in times ahead with the Valardin princess. Though that begs the question - instead of being a sympathetic ally to Prince Edain, am I now an accomplice in getting his hair to turn white before his thirtieth birthday?

I just received word that my cousin Bianca is finally coming to Arx.
I don't believe words can express how delighted I am at having her near by once more. When we were young we used to joke about being secret twins that were magically born two years apart. Only in that we share the strange silver hair, and far far too many of the same passions and traits.
If you thought having one of me in Arx was a hassle. Wait til you have the female version of Damon Wyrmguard.
...maybe I'm the male version of Bianca Wyrmguard.

Relationship Note on Margot
(Footnote attached to a diary entry)
Ugh, Margot. How Donrai not only decided to let her live, but make her a diplomat is way beyond my ken. She's going to put a dagger in someone's back one of these days, and I just can't stand her. She thinks she's so clever with words. Ugh. Besides, what's wrong with pants? They're so much less of a hassle than skirts, they don't tear nearly as easily, you don't have to worry if they get a little dirty, they don't ride up when you spin upside-down, and they're just way more useful to wear in a fight. Plus, it's not like I don't have any dresses. I have so many dresses. Note: Buy more dresses.

(Footnote attached to a diary entry)
The brave leader of an entire Society dedicated to nothing but exploration. If I knew of her glorious guild when I was younger, I'm certain I would have idolized her like I idolize Donella. But as it stands, I'm just happy to be counted among her acquaintances, if not future friends? In short: must talk more with her.

Nadia's amazing! She's not only a Duchess with a heart of gold - Nightgold? - but a warrior, possibly even as talented as myself. Bonus points? She's also got a heart of mischief. We're sisters in spirit if not by blood, and I'm lucky to have met her.

Relationship Note on Monique
07/12/1005
Sometimes when you feel most like an ass, that someone comes tumbling back into your life when you least expect it. I didn't think I'd see Monique again for some time after we finished our years travelling together. I admit I did not leave her company in the best of light, and for some time I didn't think she'd exactly want to see me face again any time soon.
Consider my surprise when I found the opposite of that. Understood why I had return to my duty instead of galavanting around the countryside with her. Still, it's good to have her around again. Seems like we picked up exactly where we left off. Still the troublemaker she's always been. Seems like she took my training and left out the parts about staying out of said trouble.
I gripe, but it's good to see her. Nice to have a friend again. Especially one like her.

There are so many stories comeing in from outside of Arx. I have heard tals of unicorns, cratures that look like horses, but covered in scales and with a wicked horn upon their head. I have heard about creatures call Bringers of Silence which are being credited towards the dissapearances of ships. Entire ships! Let's not forget about the elves. I was told the Nox have no qualms in killing and eating people! How horrific! Though, it also seems the more of an ass you are, the more they respect you. I will have to remember that if I meet them, to try to artistically insult them. It makes me wonder if these things will come to the city. So now, despite it being frowned upon in Thraxian society, I am seeking a teacher who can help me learn how to handle a small weapon like a dagger. I do not want to rely on any man to protect me.

This man is a diamond in the rough. He has incredibly amazing talent with music. It's such a shame that he must live in squalor within the lower boroughs. I hope to befriend this incredibly shy musician. Besides, it is always good to have friends within the borough.

Very large, burly, and quite handsome! He is also a rather talented crafter of weapons. He even made a very beautiful pair of hairpins for me. All he asked is for me to provide the stones I wanted to apply. This man is very friendly, which is a trait not often found in a Thraxian man. It's refreshing to meet a man of Thrax that does not put on the macho mask of asshole.

Relationship Note on Pietro
The voice of the march. I met this man quite by accident when visiting the menagerie. As I was gazing upon some birds, a squirrel fell into my hair! Completely startled, I began to run around and shriek. Pietro's hound came to my rescue! The hound leaped upon me, scaring away the squirrel, but leaving me in a puddle of mud. All I could do is appreciate the humor of the situation and laugh.
