Relationship Note on Cassius
Isn't it strange how the years pass in the blink of an eye? I haven't seen Cassius in what feels like ages. We were thick as thieves growing up, until he had to leave for his calling to the Knights of Solace. I never really expected to bump into him again, at least not in Arx, but it's an absolute relief to see a familiar face in times like these. The real question is how we'd fare in a spar against each other. I think he's gotten taller since I've seen him last, but I'm pretty sure I can give him a run for his money.

I am more than honored to have been given the task of Minister of Infrastructure. Like everything in life, it will be a challenging task, but one I am most excited to embark on. I have been studying maps of the city, above and beneath the ground, and hope that to make myself more familiar with the merchants and shop owners.

Relationship Note on Leona
A bit of a mystery this one. She's definitely got a story, but I suspect she wants to keep that to herself. I forged a rapier for this member of the King's Own that she seems pleased with.

A lesson I need to learn, I find, is one that I've been told once or twice in the past few months: Listen to what people tell you. Accept their words. I will be better at this.
You are right, my dear. Your opinion doesn't matter. And I am glad to have realised it.

Relationship Note on Calypso
Lady Calypso is quickly becoming someone I feel I can depend on. I've tested her arm in a spar myself, and she's quite capable, showing a determination that very few are able to stick to.
It's that indomitable spirit that I feel will carry her, even when things seem the most bleak. I look forward to getting to know her better.

Relationship Note on Anze
Another cousin, sibling to Freja and Fergus. That great big sword of his hits exactly as you would expect a great big sword to hit ... when he can catch you with it, of course.
It is nice to be surrounded by family, especially so far from home.

There is an organized chaos that surrounds our city. Everything is color coded and cut up into nice equal pieces for nobles to share among themselves. Layers fit on top and below. Some times bleeding into or out of this pieces. The Merciers have had the fortune of being on the right side of trade and I can honestly say that I am very proud of all the work we have put into enriching our family status and wealth. An increase in revenue will help us meet the high demands our clients expect from us. With the warehouse we are able to move more goods. The garden lets us manufacture here in the city. A tea shop will be raised in the coming days for us to sell our tea and soon after we have a suitable place for a workshop we will put one up and provide employment to allot of commoners. The Merciers are prove that success is measured with dedication and you can rise to glory no matter your station in life. Bless Gild's fortune.

I have no idea how this happened.
I had no reason to believe Princess Isolde when she said that Lady Cara was not going to be in the delegation to the Nox'alfar; Cara had her assurances from Dawn, and I certainly hold more faith in her than the princess. And yet now I find that somehow my words from weeks -- or months! -- ago are somehow responsible for Cara no longer being among the party. Cara is furious. Dawn is now furious that I'm endangering myself by being among the party myself. The only reason I'm in the fucking party is to take care of my sister! And yet Dawn got even /more/ angry when I pointed out it's only her fault for not telling me Cara wasn't going.
Everyone is angry at me and none of this is my fault! And now I'm stuck on this stupid fucking delegation. They'll all be pretty sorry when I get eaten by demons.

Well, the melee happened. I was one of the first to go down, but only because five of my competitors saw fit to target me at once.
Really, I should take it as a compliment.

The Sword is being disingenuous. I never said I expected him to restrain the predatory nature of his pet, only that he not contrive to -help- the creature kill my fox. There is a difference.

A good man to bump into and shove into a fight, and a great wall to relieve tension against. Doesn't say stupid things like 'you're a woman' or 'you're not as well armored' or 'your dick is too small'.
Have to appreciate that.

Relationship Note on Eos
Had a very interesting walk atop the SeaWatch walls. The view is as incredible as always. But to have company and able to listen to a story touching upon the Golden Guard and their Lord, made it even better. At this rate, I may even conquer this fear of heights.

A poet. A poet that now lives within the estate. So long as he's not bunking with me I'll find a way to make do. If he recites poetry over breakfast I might not be so amicable.

Apparently I'm not allowed to let Hiss kill her fox. Since when did I shoulder the burden of telling natural predators what they can and can't do? Pray for me, scholars. This is one task I think I cannot accomplish.

Quick but not quick enough. She has a habit of taking me on despite the "unfairness" of combat. It's a trait I can admire. There's nothing fair about fighting to the death so why should there be when training for it?

It's quite amazing how fun a trip to the Managerie can be. Especially if Sophie is along, as she is quite relaxing company.
The ursine exhibit, and the lemurs, were especially amusing. But they really need food vendors in there somewhere.
