Relationship Note on Victus
I saw him again, and not just because I was sick. Not that I saw him while I was sick, mind you; that would be ridiculous. I don't think about Victus Thrax at any period of time, especially not while ill.
I think he'd be more handsome with a shorter beard.

Relationship Note on Victus
He does not appear to be much fond of how I choose to spend Grayson silver. Nor did he seem to approve of my taking part in a spar at the training fields. He looked positively dour when I mentioned, on our first meeting, that I felt he and I had some commonalities in our background.
I would suspect that Lord Thrax does not care much for me if I did not believe this is how he interacts with most that he meets. He is a hard man come from a hard life, with concerns and cares that diverge a great deal from my own. His rough edges are understood.
That said, it takes an effort to not rise to the bait when he calls me Princess. Thrax produces most capable fishermen.

It might be very easy to discount a man with the bearing of Lord Victus as more brawn than brain, but such would be foolish. Thoughtful reservation. I would put hard-earned coin on the fact that for our conversation I came away from our meeting knowing nothing more than he'd have me know.

Relationship Note on Victus
There are those who call themselves 'lords' and there are those who are worthy of carrying such a title. As much as I respect the House of Thrax, I can not respect a man who:
* makes fun of the dead;
* uses barbaric language in front of a lady;
* doesn't know how to apologize;
* publicly mocks a lady;
* is quick to offend people...
The list is not yet finished. I believe that many could find more to add. However, we shall not forget that everyone is worth a chance at redemption. I hope that the time will come when the Gods will send a challenge to this man through which he will find true values and a new path. Time changes people.

He won the Decathalon, which no one should have doubted. I'm not sure what he'll do with the trophies, perhaps I'll ask if he wants one displayed in the library. He'll say no, but I may try to persuade him. What's important is not that he won, but that he unlike some others competed with more than simply winning in mind.

He's direct, forward, and certainly, more than a little blunt in behavior. I've hardly met a person in this city that I liked more immediately, even if I did ask him to blink for one really long second and let me step on his guard's face. The squinty little young one who was eyeing me. Yea, I haven't forgotten you. Victus though, we had some fun. A good ol' Redrain Dine and Duel. The maids probably were fanning themselves from watching us long into the night.

Victus is a scary man. However, I refuse to show that I am scared. I am a woman of Thrax! We are strong and fearless. Right? Anyways, I was once told that fear is normal. It's the ability to stand up to that fear that makes one brave. He is definitely a frightening presence wherever he may go.

Hammar whack Victus, but Hammar not win. Hammar has seen Victus a few times, he says a lot of mean words and Hammar thinks Victus does not like him, but Hammar likes Victus, he's big like Hammar and strong like Hammar.

I was surprise to meet someone even more irritable than myself, but then Fictus takes it to a whole other level. He seems more than eager in his attempts to make talking with him a pain. They nearly came to blows at one point when I asked him about Eugine, apparently that was a no go. Fergus is not really quit certain if Victus is a person he hates, or just someone to take in stride.

LORD VICTORY! We drank, he lost, we won, we drank, and stories. O STORIES! How they were told, are told, will be told - He knows The Greybacks for what We are! He knows, and because he knows, The Stick, Rabbitsfoot and I would surely drink with him again. Over bodies, too! Preferably live bodies. Live bodies with tits. Not dead bodies. I abhor violence, you know. Unless it's the good kind where I win.

Relationship Note on Victus
Lord Victus Thrax embodies all one would envision of a Thraxian warrior. He's unapologetically brutal in both on and off the battle field, if the tales of his heroism and tenacity during past fights are to hold true. (I believe them.) Not the sort of man who prides himself on scholarly pursuits (He'd said it himself), but one would be idiotic to mistake him for a fool. He's a bastion of glorious, jaded, crude-humored wisdom, but I can't help but wonder why he's come to Arx. He didn't seem the sort to play the game of politics.
I sparred him the other afternoon at the Training Center, even got to watch him in action with the rest of his swooning, sighing, and giggling gaggle of fangirls. The fight went about how I imagined it; a lot of ducking and weaving on my end, and a lot of barreling through my blows to catch whatever part of me he could. In the end, it was good. He still thinks me far too pretty to be swinging a sword, let alone parading around in pretty armor.

Relationship Note on Victus
I am not sure if the man truly deals in friends, but I have found his philosophy to be agreeable. Some may think him a dangerous man because he is large or because he prides himself on his savagery in battle. I know he is dangerous: he already has what he wants in life. A man who is content, who knows when to walk away...it is important to note that in Blackram folktales, it is such a man that often triumphs over the vainglorious noble or extracts his chivalrous but naive master from the jaws of the monster or the trap. I am not sure how he would react to being a staple of a heroic tradition, but knowing the trope and idea of a man leaves me with hope of common ground.

A difficult man to understand, he is no doubt a great warrior and his faith seems genuine, but his respect for anyone who does not share his puissance is tangible and I do fail to understand the underling misogyny of Thraxian culture.

Who would have thought Victus Thrax would have ended up bell of the ball? He said there were hardly any congratulations, so I have to wonder if he was voted for by virtue of trying to prevent someone else from winning, all the while thinking: surely nobody else will vote for him, they'll vote for me!
Ha. I should have stuck around until the end in order to have seen it.
That aside, the man is no joke in the ring, even if some simpleton throwing his war hammer around at him /should/ have been funny. Actually, Victus acquitted himself well, for any of you people who think he's a completely uncultured swine - he could have beaten the man into the dirt, or seriously hurt him, and he didn't.

Lord Victus, a man of large physical presence, social stature and appetite. Though he lacked exclusively in all the refinement Talen had taken to appreciating as a man of the Lyceum provinces, the bluntness of the oft-timed Thrax allies held a measure of appeal to the Sword of Lenosia. From passing interaction to an eventual business arrangement, the relationship between the two had only started to develop but a short time after Talen's arrival in Arx.

He speaks bluntly and in a manner that would perfectly fit the Lower Boroughs. He enjoys bawdy songs and has quite the lascivious spirit. I would be surprised if anyone in all of Arvum could defeat him in single combat, as he wields the legendary heirloom of House Tyde and earned legitimacy in war.

Our first meeting didn't go as well as I'd have hoped. He almost immediately took a disliking to me, which I found very strange, since we have so much in common. He's above self deception, as I believe myself to be. He's proud of our culture, as I am. He craves further brutal and bloody war as I do. We're both thraxian to the marrow of our bone and I see no practical reason for us to be at one another's throats. rHe is at least, very mercenary in nature, and took on a different tone once I made him a certain offer. My main worry is that once I make good on my side of the deal he's going to go straight back to antagonizing me. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, since I do believe we've mutual desires and could benefit one another greatly, but if the carrot doesn't work..

Victus and I understand one another. Yes, he is terrifying and almost ten times larger than I am, but I do enjoy his company. Perhaps because he is one of the few people who seems completely honest and does not attempt to shield me from all of the bad things in life, our conversations end up being quite informative. I do have to ask my handmaiden what some of the more colorful words and terms mean afterwards, but it certainly is a learning experience and I am well equipped should I decide to become a pirate.

Lord Victus Thrax... Behemoth, Brash, Beast. A man who literally has no fucks to give, pardon my language! He was romancing a woman from the Lyceum, Baroness Alessandra Gilden, but she has since disappeared. No, I don't believe he is responsible. Lord Victus Thrax may be many things, but I do not believe in my heart he is capable of murdering his former betrothed. He does however have an amazing beard. I do wonder who his stylist is...
