Relationship Note on Ailith
We have expressions about Duty that warn us of it's perils. Duty is heavier than a mountain. We say this to prepare ourselves for the monumental decisions that we have to make to fulfill our duties. Yet we have few warnings for the most significant danger that duty can bring us.
Isolation.
Duty is an insidious insulator. It takes us away from friends and loved ones, whispering ever that what it needs is more important. It sends us to hold conference with strangers, opponents, and worse in order to accomplish it. Duty, even while putting us around others, isolates us from ourselves and our beloveds if we let it.
In it's extreme, focusing only on duty sickens the soul, then the body, and makes it harder to accomplish our goals as our very motivation wears away.
This is why I am glad that Seraph Ailith knows how to balance her duties with her loves. She has been my longest friend in Are, and even when we cannot find time to share a drink, she finds time to make me smile. I look forward to her Messengers nearly as much as I look forward to her company.
Let Ailith be a model for any that need to balance the drudgeries of their duties with their personal lives. She has found a way and continues to refine it.

Relationship Note on Ailith
I have always found the Palace seraph a font of wisdom, and her meditation on gratefulness is no different. I sent some notes to those that I am grateful for, those who enrich my life through their presence, and those who have given me insight of places darkened before.
It is only fitting, then, that one of my notes was bound for the Palace seraph herself.

Relationship Note on Ailith
It has been good to see the Seraph once more. The last we truly interacted was during those mornings at Crownguard Tower when the Seraph would lead those knights of the King's Own, myself included, in their morning prayers. A person of faith, she is an example for many to follow in the realm of religious observance.
That isn't all that she is however, I've found her to be quite brave as well. Her actions were actions that I've witnessed in others who would provide treatment to the wounded on the battlefield. Rushing headlong into the fray in an effort to reach a fallen warrior and either drag them from the field or render aid to them right then and there. I've not heard of any writings of her boasting about doing so, claiming some intangible glory for herself, or anything of the like. So it is my duty instead to write my praise of her to ensure that her bravery is known, so it will go into this journal and be lodged into the archives so that it will be remembered for the future.
Those who put their own safety at risk in order to render aid to others, are truly worthy of respect.

It's rare I get along with anyone in the faith but the Serpah and I get along perfectly. She's logical and level headed and was a soldier before she went into service to the Crown.
Aaand there it is. That's why.

Ailith allowed Preston to wear her favour in the Tournament of Roses jousting. Sadly Preston didn't bring it much honour, and went out in the first round. But it is important that the faith support each other.

Relationship Note on Ailith
I find myself enjoying the company of the palace Seraph - her background is similar enough to mine, and there is none of the pomposity one can find at times. She certainly seems devoted to the faith, and to her work. She hosted a very enjoyable evening that got the Faith talking to one another, and also inadvertently led to Preston meeting the king. And she is sharp, that is to be respected.

I met the Palace Seraph, and she seems to be very nice, if quite busy. I hope that she does well with officiating the wedding, I'm sure she will do wonderful!

Relationship Note on Ailith
The Palace Seraph, she seems like a fairly sweet person. She has offered to be a confidant, but I really have nothing to confide. In any case, she seems concerned for the state of our new recruits as well as our seasoned Swords. Having arranged for services for them with Sir Rymarr previously, I saw no need to change those orders. I wonder what lies deeper than the sweetness under the surface.
No, wait - I know. She has a mouth on her, that one, and uses it when she's tired and mad in training. She asked to start working with some of our squires, to work on stamina and do something physical. I joined the morning exercises as I often do, and was more than a little amused by her hmmm - accompaniment? She didn't quit though, and that says a lot of her strength of character. I hope the soak does her well, and if she doesn't apologize I'm not going to hold that against her.
For the record though? I did warn her.

A Seraph from the Faith. She is quite kind, and seems to be inquisitive and faithful about the Pantheon. I think we will get along fine.

I have met the Seraph on occasion, but have not had the chance to have any indepth conversation with her. She's a lovely woman, and I hope that someday I will be able to.

Relationship Note on Ailith
What Seraph Ailith does not understand is that if I was not so very-very well aware of the Right of Sanctuary, any malignant or malevolent flocking of birds would have ceased long ago by my own capable hands. How could she possibly be so very-very-very, VERY mean to think that I could not know better? She threw fire and brimstone at me with such fervor it's a wonder that it didn't set my silks alight! Now, now, don't get me wrong. I love the Gods and I respect and admire the Faithful to a degree that would almost be unhealthy, if it wasn't definitely healthy. I only wanted to seek an amicable accord that would benefit all. All, except maybe the half dozen malignant or malevolent birds which needed to be put down. This is understandable, isn't it?

I haven't seen Seraph Ailith since news came of the king's condition, but I imagine the girl is stricken. So much of who she is seems so tightly wound around the idea of her closeness to the king and indeed the entirety of the royal family, this tragedy may have touched her almost as deeply as those of us that actually lost family.

Relationship Note on Ailith
The King's Own often prays with the Palace Seraph rather than going through the trouble of going all the way down to the Cathedral for daily prayers. Ailith just seems to have something special about her, the kind of infectious belief that bolsters everyone around her. I was not raised by House Thrax to be particularly ardent, but it's hard not to feel the faith talking to this woman.
