I like to think I have the best sot of siblings. We are all different in many ways, but there is a deep bond between the four of us that is unwavering. I would do anything for Leona, Galen, and Valerius, and I am certain this sentiment is shared.
On the other hand, Gordon will not have a brother or sister for some time and will have to settle for cousins.

This Gift Giving Guide gifted to me on Grayson Gift Giving Day is incredibly informative /and helpful/. /And/. Fun to say! There's even a whole subchapter here on how to respond to somebody who asks for gifts they've given back. Only -- what sort of individual would even think to do such a thing? Seems to me that behavior might be indicative of all other sorts of takesies-backsies.

Oh, it's quite all right. If we commoners don't manage an air of ill-bred menace, what do we really have going for us?

I'm so used to being a scandal that when the days come that I'm offered respect it is almost shocking.
Unless it comes out of Velenosa...for the Lyceum has had my back since the start.
But we're all scandals in the south I suppose.

I'm glad to hear that you didn't die from that unfortunate mishap with the stairs. We would be bereft without you, I am certain. It sounds like your sister got the better end of that wager.
The Scholar hats are a nice suggestion. We should look into what can be done to make actual Scholars more easy to recognize.

I'm afraid this was my error. He wasn't a scholar after all. He just looked very smart and I was understandably confused. Perhaps scholars should start wearing nice hats so this sort of thing doesn't occur. Obviously the moment I realized he was asleep I should have known he wasn't truly a scholar, but I was only halfway through my story about the time that Renatta dared me to jump down the stairs of Stormwatch Tower while wearing a rubicund chestplate and wanted to finish it. She had bet that I would die and I bet that I wouldn't. I won! Though I did break my collarbone, my arm and three ribs. Still, I got her dessert for a whole month, so things evened out.
Once again, I do apologize for suggesting a scholar would ever fall asleep on the job. The scholars I have known have all been stand-up individuals who take their jobs very seriously.

Relationship Note on Khanne
I have two brothers. One is dead. The other is fifteen years my junior, and afflicted with the same wanderlust as me. We haven't seen each other in years, but we've never been close to begin with. Perhaps one day he'll rejoin us in Arx. If nothing else, we can commiserate about how much quieter it was before coming here.
P.S. Khanne - The only time I'm surprised at Arik's lack of tact is when I thought he was asleep. Any other time the inevitable will happen, usually sooner rather than later.

Please send me the name of this scholar who lost your journal entry. We will have words. This sounds highly suspect. A Scholar's first duty is to safeguard the words of gods and men.

My sisters are alive and well in Whitehold. Many of their children are in Arx. My brother is no longer with us, but his children, too, are here in Arx and thriving.
And I know he would be very proud of them. I know I am.
Even when they are putting utterly ridiculous things in the whites.

Then there's my older brother who's just the best! I mean, really! Who else would put up with me as their little sister? I'm a teensie bit clumsy, I'm easily distracted, I hunt birds, I talk way too much, I send way too many messengers, I hug, I gift my own artwork, I knit uneven scarves, I still tag along, oh and I sometimes cry for no reason... I feel your pain, Luca! And I love you to pieces.

Want to trade?
PS - Please trade me an unmarried sister or brother who is not as noisy at night. I know Percephon isn't around right now, but he can come back at any time and then I'll stop getting sleep.

I recited a very long entry about my siblings to a scholar, only to find out that he nodded off pretty quickly and lost my entire entry.
It was very frustrating and I'm honestly a little angry about it.
It's so annoying when scholars lose your entire entry.
And you ask the scholar to go back and you hope that maybe the entry is there on his scroll? But when he looks, no, the entry is gone.
So instead here is a list of my siblings, ranked from my favorite to my loved but due to history have a complicated relationship with.
Renatta/Elara (tied, two of the three people closest to me I have ever known, both departed, each taking a piece of me with them)
Constantine (I will always be his wingman, but any ladies need to know that he is a VERY GOOD BOY and they need to treat him RIGHT and not be careless if they PLUCK HIS FLOWER. Haha. Humiliating my little brother is my life.)
Cecilia (Used to be a social butterfly. Has spent so much time in Stormward she's probably more of a social gargoyle at this point. Had very large ears growing up.)
Ford (We were practically strangers most of our life. I respect him for much of what he has done, revile him for some. I will always defend him if someone decides to take me to task for his deeds, but I will also always be on hand to make fun of him when he needs it.)
Fizzlewyck, the Troll (Fizzlewyck was a troll my parents adopted who ate babies and only knew how to say blasphemies and ALSO had bad personal hygiene)
Octavia (Just another mother. And I didn't like my mother.)

I have no siblings that I am aware of. My Mother has certainly never had another child, but it is possible my father had sired others. He was a sailor from Eurus, their romance a whirlwind before he had to sail away and has of yet never returned to Arx. Who knows, maybe I have a dozen siblings out there, one in every port his ship would stop at.
For some reason my mother never felt the urge to have another child after having me.

Seriously?
Just because they are not nobility from Arvum does not make them 'common'. Was *anything* about that place common? No. Also, why do you feel it necessary to denigrate commoners because of the actions of some insane foreign heathens? I understand your upset, but there is no reason for your ire to be directed towards the good upstanding folk of the Compact.

Relationship Note on Thena
We must each of us remember where we came from I suppose, little sister. And where we are going. Too often though we forget where we are.
As I started calling you little sister in affection, and to remind you of humility as you began your meteoric rise, now it fits much better as nothing of what we achieve now would be possible without your help over time. You are in many ways not what I think of when I think of a Knight, especially a Knight of the Faith, yet there are few I would trust as deeply as I do you. In that, you teach me a lesson about many ways there are to honour the Gods, and that the ideals of the Faith I hold to, the ways in which I worship as an Orthodox, are not the only way. Nor the measure of if someone is worthy.

All my siblings are twins, older and younger than me. Then there is just me. No twin.

We lost many Templars that day - tens of thousands who fell at the beaches, in the mountain pass, those who got separated with Grandmaster Armel of the Solace. Lord Armand was I was only just getting to know as a Templar, but he answered my every task with a fervor that had already earned my respect. For his service House Farshaw will always have my thanks. For his sacrifice, you will always have my condolences.
