Relationship Note on Lazarus
He means to "modernize" the business by moving away from the vineyards and instead producing wheat and herbs so we may enter the whiskey and tea markets as well. It is not an unsound idea - wheat is far cheaper and more reliable to produce - but I suspect our uncles will protest the change as old men stuck in their ways are wont to do. I had just started to freely distribute our wines, too!
I am glad to see him, though. It has been a few good years since we've had the opportunity to sit and chat, let alone live in the same dwelling. Being a good merchant requires constant travel but he may get some rest yet.

Unless this is another angle at getting our child named after you. At least we know which aunt to hand our child over to.
You do realize that a boy named Dawn would be a bit strange, yes?

Relationship Note on Ida
She is a good woman with a good heart, I'm glad to of met her. And the reality is, I would visit again simply to talk. There are few in Arx that I would really consider an honest friend, but she makes no attempts at being anything more than kind and understanding. Not what I expected from a smith.
And really, I'm kinda curious to know what kind of fights she's been into.

Relationship Note on Natalia
My thoughts on Natalia go against that. Well, that's not fair, she is a lovely girl, but I have never seen a woman who is so caught up in fashion and presentation.
Again, she is lovely and I enjoy talking with her, and perhaps there is a bit of that Grayson wanderlust that I see in so many of them. I should tell her more stories of Erusus at some point.
Still, she's enjoyable to speak with. I told her if she wants to get on Lou's good side, do not ask to tea. Rather, bring a bottle of whiskey and sit down for a talk. Lou may be more willing to oblige.
I wish her luck in that. Oh, and never call her by her real name. Lou. It is always Lou. I speak from experience.

My intention for the Fidante Villa is to recreate a piece of home here in Arx because I am and have been just a touch homesick. Shh, don't tell anyone for fear of bringing ruin to my reputation.
Little by little it is coming together. We have imported some of my favorite rose bushes to replant in the new garden and have incorporated some flowers, plants and even succulents that are indigenous to this region where they will thrive in Arxian climate. Prospero has even gifted me with a gorgeous orchid that is growing so fast and furiously, I've had to prune it a few times now and have quite a few sprigs that are in the midst of rerooting. Come next Spring the Fidante Villa garden will be buzzing with activity.
The little birds have begun to flitter about, too. Their songs are so sweet and I just adore listening to every little thing they have to say.

Relationship Note on Jarek
He surprised me though with his wit and charm and of course his philosophy on life. We exited the gala only to stroll through Reflection Square and gaze a the stars for a good while. He seems like a good man and certainly someone I enjoyed my time with.

So young and so beautiful to be a widower. The same misfortune fell upon my beloved brother Leo. Oh, is that a potential match I smell?
All kidding aside, I do believe Lady Sylphie and I have much in common. I look forward to getting to know her better.

Blacktongue asked me what I wish to learn from him, but I fear he would be disappointed in my answer.
His tongue is black. I wonder if his heart is as well.

So worried, most of the time, that they don't consider a friendly smile and a sword in the front.
Arx is wonderful. I hope to never have to leave again. But I know I'll have to. There's so much coin to be made encouraging paranoia and treachery. It's the sort of city that could make a sellsword fall deeply in love with it.

I have met some most lovely people from Ladies to Princely Pirates. It is almost a dream of how wonderful my reception has been.
Of course, when the voice met me, she was instantly aware that I am to be the house of Grayson. She knew immediately that I was the on to arrange fetes and galas. I know that she is sure to trust me in such things.
Then there was the wonderful Prince Donrai. He was a bit more than unexpected, but I am interested to see how our games play out.
Now to get the seamstress to get back to me, so that I might start on my wardrobe. I'm a bit put out that I have not heard back from Aurora, but perhaps she is caught up in commissions. We shall see. For now, I can see the city is brilliant and happy to receive me.
They are all lucky to have me. They will find this to be true. Style has come to Arx.
