Relationship Note on Harald

So hungover..... Wait did I go to the Gala with the Grim Duke?

I did! Couldn't convince him to dance with me, however. Tsk. Maybe another time?

Relationship Note on Harald

Valdemar told me all of the supportive and flattering things that my father in law said of me when they spoke the other evening.

He'll never know I know because he doesn't read the whites (Harald doesn't). But I do know. I'm growing on him.

Relationship Note on Harald

My relationship with my father, Zacharie Pravus, is a complicated one for so many reasons that I've mused over countless times in my Blacks.

I did not really grow up with his guidance, and thus others stepped in to fill the role. My uncle Niccolo, who played surrogate father for so many of us when we were children, always went out of his way to make me feel welcome. A part of the family. It meant the world even when I was very young.

I have always craved family, all the more since my own was not harmonious. I saw the love, loyalty, and affection my cousins knew in their own homes and craved it.

The Grim Duke does not have a reputation for warmth, yet he does have one for family. I know of so many who he has taken under his wing of sorts, who consider him like a father, an uncle, extended kin. His halls have been quieter of late, but they are starting to return to what they were...a home where many found welcome. It is only recently that I've started to truly know him, to get used to him, to see why those of us who might feel lost, or stray, can find acceptance here.

I wish that more people could see and understand the Grimhalls as I have come to, though I think they don't share that wish. It matters little to them whether they are accepted or maligned by most of Arx, by the 'mainland' as it were.

I am happier now than I can remember being...perhaps ever. And I am deeply loyal to those who have given me that happiness and protected it.

While his presence in Arx has been one of discretion of late. I am quite happy the Grim Duke has returned.

People should listen to Duke Harald Grimhall more often. He is the wisest man I know.

Plus. He lets me torment his son.

It is well that you distracted me with tasks before I realized what dangers you were going into. My Duke is difficult.

I didn't think I could like a man who - actually, I think he has a sense of humor. Also, he survived getting smacked by a giant swinging pillar and then slammed into a cliff. That's pretty neat.

The Duke really does host a fantastic dinner. Many courses of delicious fare topped with a wonderful dessert. And the variety of alcohols available. I recommend anyone who wants to really get a sense of Thrax cuisine attend a Grimhall feast.

The naval exercises were very informative and educational. Your stratagem was well executed.

Next time my Lord, I will win that small part of the encounter.

Duke Harald is holding naval exercises, and Margot wishes me to gain my sea legs so I had attend. It will also be good to get to know the Duke - his past with my family has certainly been interesting.

I am honored to have such a distinguished seaman review and critique my work. Perhaps once I see the war ships and have a chance to produce more designs, he will grace me with his opinions once more.

The best Grimhall Duke. His advice is usually quite sound.
