Relationship Note on Derovai

I'm not even sure Master Itzal knows Princess Denica, but you're right! He should!

Relationship Note on Itzal

That usually turns out to be the explanation for a great many things, Master Itzal! If only I were better at poetry.

Relationship Note on Derovai

I'm not sure it is pride that keeps one from wanting to throw up into a bucket in the middle of a tavern, but more common sense. I know people sometimes wonder if I lack it, but I assure you it is there!

Why do you want to see me get sick so terribly?

Relationship Note on Derovai

You didn't offer me a drink, you offered me the chance to throw up on someone's shoes and as I think you'd be quick enough to get out of the way, I did not want to visit that upon some poor, unknowing soul's soles!

Foolsbane isn't a drink, it's a challenge!

You're welcome, Arx. Yes, that was Derovai Voss writing poetry. If you haven't seen it you should ask to pull his journals!

That was better than a drink and way better than Foolsbane. I don't know why you think

((written in a different, less amazingly awesome but still flowery script))

Scholar Oswyn has informed me that he is not a messenger and since I hear you both in the stacks I ought to just go over and speak with you. That seems like a lot less fun though!

Master Voss, I feel like yet again you're trying to ask me for a drink but you never quite get there. Perhaps you can ask for some advice from Master Itzal, who never has any trouble saying what he means and often does so in rhyming voice if not outright song.

Does an ode really count if it is done under duress?

Relationship Note on Itzal

Listen, I can only pull whites as fast as Scholar Oswyn can write and he says that he's doing his best. And I believe him, he's great! Never stop being you, Scholar Oswyn! I'm making him write that about himself! So I didn't see your list until after I'd already sent you something. That will have to do for now!

Unless you want me to write you again.

I could.

Do you really want that?

Relationship Note on Itzal

My dearest Master Itzal, what I meant was that there is no possible way anyone could be better than someone such as yourself just rolling in, untrained off the street. No, the only way we can have better performers is if they are taught and trained by the very best--those like you that are currently leagues beyond the rest!

Relationship Note on Mae

Mistress Culler, I am so surprised to hear you do not know what a Bard is considering your title, which you kindly included in your last white, and the fact that your brother often calls himself one! You ought to talk to Mistress Gianna about her project directly as it will no doubt lead to better performers showing up on the Rose's doorstep and thus ought to be a project that the Black Rose Theater endorses whole heartedly! I'm sure she would love to hear from you!

Relationship Note on Niklas

I miss you! I know your work in the Mourning Isles is important, but I wanted you to know. You won't read this until you're back I'm sure, but know that the entire time you have been away from me I have thought of you at every moment. There is not a single second you are out of my thoughts.

Most especially when a bird flies overhead and I flinch thinking it might be Steve.

Come home soon. I love you more than I do the stars!

There have been so many events lately my head is spinning and I cannot even begin to remember them all so I apologize, gentle readers, for any oversights herein: there was the Gauntlet run sponsered by Princess Alarissa that made me tired just watching it, the fashion show at the Ambassador, which was a lovely event, the tavern songs at the Spirits where Mistress Gianna put on an excellent show and where I declined to drink any Foolsbane, but got rather tipsy on whiskey as it was, and the wedding reception for Princess Jaenelle and Prince Ettore tonight, which was held in the most amazing ballroom I have ever seen! White marble trees! Exquisite! They need to hold more balls there! Scholar Oswyn and Princess Cassima were the most delightful company for that event and I wish the new couple that each tomorrow be brighter than the next!

I've been working with Mistress Gianna on her Bard's College project and am hoping to see lots of friends and family at the fundraiser tomorrow. It is an excellent idea and I think Mistress Gianna may be as smart as she is talented, so those that are able should throw their full support behind it! The world needs more entertainers for they provide those festive moments that can distract us all from our daily woes. They provide entertainment, but also inspiration, and we should never want to be lacking in that!

Relationship Note on Cassima

I have meant to write to you inquiring as to what was happening with that so I would be DELIGHTED to host the next one! Perhaps I shall see you at the reception tonight to discuss it! I suppose I could have just sent a messenger, but I was here and Scholar Oswyn is very amenable.

Say, Scholar Oswyn, do you have plans tonight?

Hello, fellow founding member! I like your pin! And I have missed your entries.

I am shocked and terrified by news of this latest death! I had just talked to Brother Driskell this afternoon! He was supposed to come over for tea! I had given him some old jewelry and said I'd look for more!

Was he bugs then?! What is happening!?

Relationship Note on Rohran

I do not have children, but I hope to someday and I would tell them that there is inspiration everywhere, one only needs to look around with wide eyes and an open heart! Every interaction is the beginning of a new story and every person brings their own chapters with them to yours. And every tomorrow is a bright, crisp, blank page waiting to be filled with wonderful new experiences, the good and the bad.

I would tell them to be kind, because the chapters of others are not always open to us and yet we must be aware that their experiences have shaped them and thus their experience with us may shaped them still. For the better, hopefully!

And I would tell them to always be hopeful. To believe in that hope. And to nurture, cherish it, and lend it to others who may not be able to conjure up their own.

That's more than one thing, but to be fair I talk a lot and I should think that will not change when I have children!

I WON THE CHARIOT RACE!

What an amazing and exciting night! Really, the horse did all the work and I just held on, but it was so fast! Perhaps I should get Master Tristan to inquire about purchasing it. I mean, I don't want to take care of it and I probably don't have time to ride it, but surely such an amazing creature should be in the Crown stables! And Master Tristan loves horses!

It was incredibly terrifying! And great. But also scary! And I will probably never do something like it again, but it seemed like a good idea at the time and I won, so I don't ever have to do anything like it again because now I will always be remembered as the Princess who won the dangerous chariot race at least until tomorrow when something else takes over the whites! How do you people who are always dealing with exciting things do it? My hands are still shaking. I feel like I won't sleep for a week!

My dress is completely ruined, though. That's three.

How many baths does it take to get dirt like this out of your hair?
