Relationship Note on Leona

Sometimes I feel like a baby duckling, following the Lord Commander around with wide puppy dog eyes. I'm mixing my metaphors, but it's how I've felt, training under her the past years. Something has changed, now that I'm a knight in my own right. She's shoving me lovingly out of the nest, to continue (half of) the metaphor. It's thrilling and terrifying to have her treat me as a near equal, these days. There couldn't be a better Commander to serve and I'll do whatever it takes to live up to her expectations.

Relationship Note on Leona

I always find a conversation with the Lord Commander clarifying and informative. Choices must be made, and our discussion has helped me understand that necessity and fortify me for the inevitability of doing so.

Lord Commander of the King’s Own

Relationship Note on Leona

I first spoke to Lord Commander Leona Thrax on something of a whim, a combination of a social call and it-can't-hurt-to-ask shot in the dark. I have now found her to be a mentor, a teacher, and a friend. I have done the morning drills with the King's Own; the Lord Commander has run the Gauntlet. (I had a better time, in case you are curious. But she did a climb up the final rope which was better than any I have seen before!)

In some ways, speaking to Leona is like having the great Lord Commander Dayne Valardin's teachings passed down to me. That is an incredible gift, and one I am thankful to her for.

Leona could be shortened to Leo, which means Lion - and it would still describe her perfectly. Leona, the Lion-Hearted. Braver than a Lycene wine taster.

I'm honored to serve beneath Dame Leona, an excellent commander whom I look forward to continuing to work with.

In the wise words of our God of freedom, Skald: "I do what I want."

(Which is generally not 'setting myself on fire', thank you, and absolutely not what happened.)

Relationship Note on Leona

Ah, Leona. Rare sort of person to come from power, and burn for the welfare of the smallfolk with nearly the fervor she has for her sworn charge. Without a hint of magnanimity, either (ask me how I feel about magnanimity, ask me!). But let me not speak of Leona more like a patron than as a surprising friend. Been wonderful to talk frankly and widely with someone so thoughtful and direct.

Relationship Note on Leona

For those who are way too invested in the outcome of other people's evenings, I will have you know that Lord Commander Leona Thrax and I attended the Spring Soiree and we both agreed that we had a fabulous time and would not have wished to be there with anyone but each other.

I find that lucky.

Leona, my love. The person I shared a womb with. The person in which understands me better than I do myself. I believe in you and your ability to have fun, even if no one else does.

Relationship Note on Leona

You say those words, but I don't believe them. My image of you as a queen of ice lording over a bunch of stonefaced knights still seems a lot funnier to me. But regardless, yeah I'll probably be there. Free food after all.

Relationship Note on Leona

I share you distaste for bright colors and fancy parties designed to be 'fun', but really are just the epitome of social dick-waving. Even for the ones that lack a dick you can find plenty of waving happening.

So do what I do, think toward your positives:

Free food
Free booze
Free entertainment
Freedom to leave when things get boring.

And the rest, I have zero grasp on why anyone enjoys these things. I merely assume we're cut from a different species and leave it at that. Anything more makes my fucking head hurt. I'll stick to sharpening the axe and grunting like a fucking dog.

You can't strategize your way out of fun. Besides, the women will need your strength in the Battle of the Sexes.

Sometimes, your shot in the dark finds the target.

Yesterday, I had one of those times with Lord Commander Leona Thrax, leader of the King's Own.

It is good to see in these sometimes bleak times that the luck of the gods smiles upon me occasionally.

Relationship Note on Leona

I expected to resent the Lord Commander of the King's Own, I will freely admit to in white journals. The influence that she has over that which matters most to me-- I expected it to sting more than it does. And that is down to the woman herself. What is there not to enjoy in a woman that carries herself so carefully through life? She is thoughtful, intelligent, and she /cares/. What more could anyone want?

Now, if only she would accompany me to the Spring Soiree.

Relationship Note on Leona

The Lord Commander arranged a rite of Gloria - and put me, quite fairly, out after a few blows. I was quite proud to score a hit on her though, even if I didn't manage to draw first blood. She is remarkably skilled, and devout. Of all of those I've worked with from the secular side, she is perhaps one of the most reliable.

Sidenote: Homeless people in Maelstrom are also at an all-time low due to vast quantities of 'fish-demons' so people say, so there's that as well. Hope you're doing something about that, instead of ARGUING with a PHILOSOPHER about THINGS.

Relationship Note on Leona

Slavery? Thralldom is not slavery. Thralldom is debt. Thralldom is a way to allow commoners into the grand halls of lords and ladies, provide them beds they would not otherwise have because of the enormous debt they might pay. Let me ask you this, do you see many homeless people in Maelstrom? Why do you think that is? Because the ones who are are usually cozied up somewhere nice, warm and safe, working off their debts -- not out in the street, begging for money or a job with which they might pay back those debts.

Leona Thrax, it reads here. Are you sure about that last part, Dame?

Relationship Note on Leona

The Lord Commander of the King's Own, Eleanor has looked up to her ever since she first met her. She trains the squires sometimes, and on those days Eleanor works even harder than usual to make sure that everything is in its place. She gets the odd feeling that Leona is keeping an eye on her, but that couldn't possibly be true, could it?

Relationship Note on Leona

I retract all praise about the Lord Commander. She /is/ trying to kill me.

Two days and I'm still discovering places I thought couldn't ache. The short trip down the hall was pure agony. This burn, it's felt. And no amount of mews and snarls won't change the fact that I asked for this punishment.

Maybe after a soak, I'll apologize to her.

/Maybe/.
