Relationship Note on Niklas

UGH!

Yes, just the three letters then the exclamation point. Do you think more than one would be too much? Yes, just one is fine. Why are you still writing?

I went to my first public debate last night and was the first to speak! Well, not the first to speak for the person who so generously organized it was the first to tell us what the order of things was going to be and I did happen to be there entirely by accident, however it was a great time and I got to talk about how powerful words can be. Which everyone reading this already knows because you're reading it to find some knowledge or solace or gossip or something that will make the day pass a bit faster or help you on you way. Cousin Gareth was there and paid me a compliment on my speaking skills. I think it was a compliment. It may not have been fully intended as a compliment, but I have taken it as such and shall not be swayed elsewise!

It certainly gave me a lot to think about and I believe I shall move forward on my plan to become a patron for those who love the arts. Particularly the theater. I know of one such playwright who is looking for patronage, but the recent contest introduced me to a lot more!

I leave you all of my wonderful story ideas so that when you come up with a good one I can claim it was definitely one of mine!

Too many people are writing wills. I can understand it to be upsetting for people, so I thought I would share my own even though the only thing I am in danger of dying from is boredom or lack of breath when talking too much:

I leave my pink dress to my sister Reese on the condition that she pass them down to her daughter someday because she ought to have one that carries on her dimples and lovely soul.
I leave that one backpack I own to my sister Lou who probably gave it to me anyway and would use it more than I do. Not that I don't love it, I do! It has ribbons in it right now, I suppose Lou can fight Reese for them.
My love of the arts I leave to my darling niece who should come to love the theater as much as I do.
I leave my cheerful disposition to my cousin Gareth who will know how to make use of it.
My books ought to go to Leary House for there is someone there that will treasure them, even if most are about Princesses in peril.
Valor ought to be given to Michael Bisland so that he may never lose his edge, although he may lose a boot.
The solitary pink slipper I own should go to the Elbow of Kennex so he can have a matching set.
I leave the Black Rose Theater to the people of Arx even though I don't own it and someone will point out I can't give it away.
My laughter I leave to House Grayson so that they might not be so serious all the time.
And the rest of my things ought to be dispersed through the poorer populations, especially young girls who can make use of all of my frilly things.

I've probably forgotten something, so it is a good thing it will be years and years and years before this might be needed!

I ran into my cousin today, but only for a moment. I'm going to make him laugh one day. No one should be that grim and resolved all the time. It can't be healthy. Maybe there's a law about that?

No, I'm not talking about you, cousin. I'm talking about the other one!

Putting these baskets together for families that will be missing someone at war has been a delight! It is letting me get to know the families of those I would not otherwise be involved with and picking out tiny things that might mean something special to them has truly been lovely. Some might think this task tedious, but I imagine the joy on the faces of the little ones as they get a special little treat and how that might take their minds off worry and I redouble my efforts.

It helps that it also distracts me from my own worries about my loved ones. Would that such things could be decided by talks or trade or even a marriage. Though I told Reese I am not marrying any sea creatures she may come across even if it would end the war. We all have our limits.

Eleven roses, just for you.

Delivered in shades of red, white and orange. It almost reminds me of fire.

Relationship Note on Enyo

We never decided what kind of flower you were, you had to run.

I'll toss out my opinion, you're a prickly poppy. Bright, beautiful, but delightfully dangerous.

I typed up a long and exhausting entry and it seemed empty, no matter what I said.

Instead I'll simply say that I'm sorry. I wish things were better.

Street vendor food is amazing, don't let anyone tell you different.

On the other? I find it vexing that when something like this is discussed it's nobles and commoners. Why not just let it rest on the person. If someone says or does something rude, put their name to it.

There are plenty of nobles and commoners who don't act in the way that most expect. Plenty have courtesy, respect and kindness to people, despite their station.

Those who don't, name them, and let them think about their misdeeds as a person, not their title.

I met a rather interesting woman today by the name of Cadenza. She seems a bit troubled though, and it is unseemly for me to want to pry, but I am so damned curious. I'm so used to seeing nobility who are completely sure of themselves, when i see one who is a bit vulnerable..

She's having a party coming up, and I suppose I should see about a mask.

On the other hand, my work with the orphans of the compact is going well, if I manage to make decent strides I will send out personal thank yous for those who assisted me. I never forget a favor and always pay them back.

"Sometimes the most clever thing to say is nothing at all."

This might be one of those times.

So many journals!

I do not believe in taking sides. Why? Well in this case it is because there is just one side. The Grayson side.

Everyone here has family, and we all know that family squabbles. We don't always agree, it's just not possible. While I would have preferred this particular argument to be in private, sometimes things happen, and these two souls should sit down and talk it out.

I am sure that after time and a bit of diplomacy, cooler heads will prevail and this whole incident will be a thing of the past.

Well, that is what I am hoping for, at least.

I remember now why I stopped reading the journals, for every answer you might find, it only creates more questions.

Relationship Note on Theron

You've left me with a lot to think about.

Please note that the scholars may take some time preparing your journal for others to read.

Leave blank if this journal is not a relationship

Mark if this is a private, black journal entry
