He sucks.
He just completely sucks. You do not do that thing one night with one girl and then plan to do it with another girl. Right in front of the first girl!
Men!
I should date my cat.

When it's one word against another's, it is prudent to attempt to get both sides of a story regardless of social standing of either, if you are at all interested in gleaning the truth.
In a just world, where everyone seeks the truth, this makes sense and this is the way it should be.
But it is not a just world, is the natural retort, and that is true. I certainly don't need to add to the world's many woes, though.
Not going to sound too sanctimonious, though. Sometimes an ordeal is too trifling for me to even care. A certain cousin of mine needs to be more careful about his word choices, certainly, but ultimately words are usually just words unless you give them permission to be anything more.

A few times now, I've run into markings that have to be a language, what with how deliberate they are. And I've seen it on -jewelry- and no where else.
I've had my head buried in books whenever I've had the spare time. I can't find a lot on it. I'll have to keep looking.

Relationship Note on Serafine
Fought with Serafine again tonight. If anything, she made quicker work of me than last time. She says I'm reckless. If I had a silver piece for every time someone has told me that ...
But she also offered to teach me a thing or two. I'd be a fool to refuse. A different kind of fool than I made of myself tonight, anyway! I never thought I was unbeatable, but I never thought I'd go down that fast, afterwards! Did I puff about, the last time I won a fight? I hope not. Good gods.
On the plus side, Master Kenemir has finished my glorious new armor, so the next time I fight, I'll at least be kitted out like somebody who knows what he's doing! I look forward to leaping back into the ring at the earliest opportunity!

Relationship Note on Calypso
I did not expect to like her so much or weirdly and oddly to have so many common thoughts with her. As it stands, I do and it is fabulous. Of course, now I must get all new stuff. I'm getting some leather armor I think in just the right winter tones.

I had the most bizarre dream. All was dark around me, and I was upon the largest bed I'd ever before seen. Surrounding the bed were a dozen angry giraffes, just staring malevolently down from the top of their ridiculously long necks at me. Tiny heads swaying, eyes squinted, as if I had done something bad and I should have known it was bad and how dare I!
As if they have the right to judge anything I do. I mean, is there a more useless animal in existence? You cannot eat them (I don't think), or ride them. They aren't beasts of burden, or companion animals. They're just there.
Who dreams about that sort of shit?

I didn't expect the support I received from the city about becoming guildmaster. It was overwhelming to say the least. While I've been working to meet with as many merchants and crafters as I could, and Houses and their Voices as well to varying amounts of success, the validation is more than a relief. It's a boon. I am beyond grateful.
The support means I am more likely to purchase empty buildings on behalf of the build to provide space for working masters and merchants to set up shop, and perhaps private security to patrol those streets that need it, if not post a guard outside the door of every store.
It's a step in the right direction for my people. I'm hopeful for the future. And if I do manage to make Guildmaster, all the better, though I'll be less able to make and craft as often as I have. We will see what the future holds.

Relationship Note on Eleyna
Beautiful and remote, Serafine's younger sister, graven in ice perhaps while Serafine blazes with flame. No idea if that's a correct impression. I was a little distracted by her sister.
They are as opposite as Vincere and I are alike. Fascinating.

Relationship Note on Serafine
When I met her, she was naked to the waist, and she finished undressing in short order. Then we sparred, and she _wiped the bloody floor with me_ as none have in a long time. For a moment I was an untried boy again, flat on my back with an older, stronger fighter smirking down on me.
But the smirk was significantly more attractive, on her face as opposed to Lord Zaccheri's. And she is as forthright by every word and deed as she was naked when I walked in.
We're making plans to fight again in the future. Perhaps I will avenge my dignity (ha! as if I had any of that in the first place).

Relationship Note on Dafne
When I first met Lady Dafne, I'm afraid she was an afterthought. A slight little thing in lace and shadow. She disturbed me, as something does when it's not quite right, particularly when she spoke of ... certain things.
But I have revised that impression, having grown to know her a little better. She has a devilish sense of the ridiculous along with her fascination with blood and death, and her angle of view is altogether unique.
It's probably because she's so tiny.

Relationship Note on Juliet
I met Lady Juliet Fidante on a ship party last night. To say she is a flirt would be an understatement. I had heard whispers of her and I know her brother, The Sword of Tor, quite well. So when she asked me to dance I obliged, taking on the lead role. Have you ever tried switching roles before? It takes a lot of concentration! The dancing was nice and so we're the drinks after. And while there were moments in our evening that had me thinking 'why am I still here?' I enjoyed myself and the company of my new friend a great deal. She has a way with words that I find dizzying but useful none the less. We've committed to getting a drink before the week is out. I look forward to what this new friendship has in store.

Relationship Note on Jarek
Prince Jarek Velenosa. Such a peculiar man. He is a priest of the Flame and thusly embodies all that is change. He is kind and invested in whatever conversation he seems to be having at the moment. But above all that he is intelligent and unafrade of challenging whatever is said. There are many things about Prince Jarek that frustrate me and that I find lazy or unmotivated. I can't stand goallessness and wandering. The romantic idea of setting off to whatever your heart desires whenever it desires it is careless and worse than that it is irresponsible. That's it, that is what bothers me. He is unstable and flighty.
And yet, I find myself overjoyed when I walk in to a tavern and there he is. I like that he challenges what I say and pushes back against my ideals with out judging them. I've had the most interesting conversations by his side and that speaks very highly of either his patience for my lack of indulgences or my fascination with our differences. Both I would assume. Whatever can be said about him one thing is true about Prince Jarek, he is a flame that burns brightly. And perhaps my hesitation with him is stemmed from the fear of being burned by those flames. Only time will tell.

This veteran soldier who attended the Valardin Grand Ball never gave her name, but she did give me something to mull over. I know not if anyone in attendance knows who she is or where she might be found, but I make mention of her here, where I rarely express my thoughts, in hope that perhaps someone will read this and gift me with the answers I seek.
And should you be reading this, goodwoman, please know that I wish you well and that you remain such.

I attended the sailing party hosted by Princess Donella and Duchess Nadia. My first time on a ship, and apparently I am not prone to sea-sickness, for which I am thankful.
Dawn was there, and I was able to express to her how much I respected her, and wanted to help in asserting how much I wished for her to be respected by others. Despite that, she still holds my friendship in warm regard, and so I can simply call her Dawn with good grace.
I've recently made friends in the forms of Princess Natalia and Lady Juliet. Both of them are far more adept socially than me, and I've taken to watching them as they interact with others. Lady Juliet seems the sort who flirts with anyone she finds lovely, and I confess to it being a bit confusing. I think they may both see me as some kind of wide eyed doe, but they've also never seen me on the floor of the Assembly. Of course, in the social arena, I rather am a wide eyed doe.
Prince Jarek wants to speak further with me about the clinic, and Lord Damon danced with me. I'm certain he was only being polite, but I hope to speak to him again, as apparently he has an academic nature.
The most magnificent part of the whole event was seeing the sea light up from within. Apparently there are creatures who live under the surface who produce the glow, and there are all manner of stories - myths and legends about them. I am curious about their biology, as I am curious about many things, but I simply don't have the time time to spare to learn as much as I'd like. If I don't speak for Old Oak and those else who have no voice, who will?

Relationship Note on Abbas
It seems I've grown quite friendly with more than a few Thraxians as of late. This Thraxian prince is no exception. He's rather sweet, endearing, and extremely intelligent. It took a while for him to finally see me as an equal, rather than in the light of a Thrax lady, but I'm very grateful for it. Speaking of Thraxian ladies, Lady Cordelia (the little spitfire of the isles) thinks him a nasty drunkard and an exceedingly failing disappointment to what she envisioned, to which he purposefully made her think so. Their encounter amused me to no end, though I think both of them wouldn't think too kindly of that.
