Relationship Note on Skye

I have never seen a more glorious painting. I'm not biased at all. Baroness Blackshore is the most talented painter I've ever come across.

If you'd like to see her latest masterpiece, I'm having it hung in the Great Hall at Greenmarch Lodge, where everyone may glory in it.

Relationship Note on Joscelin

I'm not about to go through your drawers to find your creams and your lotions, but I want you to know that I like your face best when you first wake up in the morning and you're all freckles and dark eyes and crazy curls.

And scowls.

But I like the scowls.

I am beyond proud of the work we did in Darkwater. It was hard work, costly work, but there's a certain feeling that comes with seeing so many different people coming together for a single purpose, and seeing that purpose ultimately achieved.

But I'm also proud because a lot of that work was made possible by Sameera, and in her memory. When the bank teller told me how many writs the Coldrains had collected, I nearly fell over, but there was never any doubt in my mind what to do with them. I can only hope that this contribution helps the memory of her live on in the buildings that were created, the roads that were rebuilt, and the people it helped serve.

I forgot how lovely my rooms were in Valardin. How dark and depressing the Thrax estate can be.

I am also alarmed that my rooms were still there and untouched.

I brought Danse with me, Astrid just screamed her head off about something that not even the nannies could decipher. So instead Danse spends time in the Valardin nursery. And I enjoy the pristine white of my old rooms.

Relationship Note on Caspian

Flirty. Fun. I have to admit, it's not hard to see why he's Grandmaster of the Champion's Guild - he's got a bit of an electric presence in company, cocky but charming, and like he's determined to live every moment to the absolute most that he can. I can respect that! And, although I haven't yet had the pleasure, I bet he's very, very good on the dueling field. I hope I get to see him, soon!

I find that we as a family have failed Victus. Or perhaps we should thank him for believing that every woman he has ever seen automatically woke up that way and there was no assistance from these creams, powders, and lotions that seem to have caused a great deal of confusion. I like that idea better, so thank you Victus. Every compliment you have ever given me means just that much more now.

Relationship Note on Victus

Since when did fashion make sense? None of that stuff ever makes sense. It is better to stay as far away from it as is humanly possible and forget it exists, that is the strategy I use and it has worked for me wonderfully.

Relationship Note on Talen

Well, the cat wouldn't have been the one to open the drawers and start picking up cases of things, opening those and then putting them back together. I'm not stupid, Talen.

Also where I come from cream is either medicine or it's food. It wasn't medicine so if the world made sense, if would have been food.

Such a shame, it was a very nice weapons rack, filled with weapons.

I canxt fathom where it may have been misplaced. Or the liquor cabinets. We seem to have a severe decline in furnishings in our room....

Relationship Note on Victus

I make it a habit not to eat anything in the vanities. Did you know sometimes poisonous flower extracts and strange creature substances are used in these products?

Also, never admit to what you've done, unless you're trying to provoke a reaction.

I just assumed she had a dirty face.

Also my liquor cabinet is now gone. If anyone can find that, that'd be nice.

Relationship Note on Victus

I don't understand any of it either, it is a mystery wrapped in an enigma. Also haven't you seen her put that stuff on and take it off like every day, morning and night before? I am fairly certain you were there once when she was taking it all off as we all spoke. Pretty sure I remember that.

Anyway, I wouldn't try eating that stuff as a general rule, I would imagine it isn't made from stuff you really want to ingest. Lemme know if you start feeling ill.

Relationship Note on Caspian

Indeed, I am terrifying and horrible to you it is one of my few joys in life. Doubtless you shall be mentally and emotionally scarred by this trying time under my relentless and overbearing concern that your "fun" not make complicated situations worse. Besides I am fairly certain every proposed threat would fall under that fun category for you.

Scholar please note that this is said in jest and not in fact serious. I do not in reality seek to cause Master Wild true distress, this is merely a likely pathetic attempt at joviality.

I don't understand how High Lord Victus has been to as many assemblies and society parties as he has and yet has not mastered the basics of elementary cosmetics. Someone please send this poor man help.

I also want to add that none of the creams tasted good.

Today I went digging in my wife's vanity out of boredom. I found things in there that I have difficulty explaining upon deeper, self examination into the matter.

There were many strange substances inside. Creams, colored things that rubbed off on my hands, brushes that are too small to paint with, tiny boxes that served no purpose other than to hold flower stenches. I've never seen a collection like this in my life and I'm pretty sure they're meant to be a bundle of occult reagents.

Did I marry a witch? I don't think I did, but then again I might've definitely married a witch.

Oh by the way 'Rissa, when you read this I probably put most of your shit back in the wrong places. Lock your drawers next time.

On the occasion of my now having been in Arx for a week, I’ll record some of my impressions:

The love of mountains and high places must be bred in our bones. The farther you go from mountain ranges, the higher people seem to build their structures. We seem to be most comfortable when something is towering over us!

People have been fascinated that a Whisper could have been born in a mining camp. I hadn’t expected to find others— particularly the high born!— interested in the origin story of a lowborn no one! Proof positive that what is commonplace to one is exotic to another, though my family would laugh at me to hear me imply our home exotic.

People need only the slimmest crack in the door of opportunity to want to kick it open and shower others with generosity. Such gifts I have received this week! I will be giving adoring looks and grateful thank you notes for the next five years in order to keep the balance.

It is always very very important to make certain you clearly write the name of the addressee when sending messengers. On the other hand, if you are not clear and that message makes it into the hands of a stranger, sometimes the gods are kind and bring you a trustworthy stranger to return the letter. From such mishaps come interesting evenings and the disappearance of a truly impressive amount of expensive wine.

I really need to get a move on in regards to acquiring some impressive titles. I’m so far behind the curve I risk titles going out of fashion before I win any good ones.

Poets have a thousand and one pretty words for the joy of living near the sea but they never ever warn you about how everything smells fishy while it’s being pretty.

Yes, I am the Voice of the Queen of Endings. Orazio made me take this title on and now I have to affix it to signatures.

But, I have been assured that the Nox'Alfar are fine with me being the Voice of Death ... to humanity, so I try not to worry about it.
