Relationship Note on Margot
Now we are more than peers of a sort but partners in particular efforts to see our people thrive. We understand each other in a way I never expected we possibly could. And I think I might like her, just a bit.

Relationship Note on Margot
Bittersweet I suppose. There was nervousness sliding into the docks. On all sides I would imagine. The last that a delegation of this size or large came, it was with intent that was not kind and to continue this peace that lays between us. But where the Duchess and Duke have no animosity, I cannot say the same for those that still remain from long ago and remember.
Ghosts haunt these halls.
Tension rules.
I forbade him to make any jokes or comments about axes, fathers or the like.
Margot as ever, was the consummate host and the bounty laid before us from the local waters left little for many to desire. Save that I can't abide seafood and the sight of raw seal sliced thin left me somewhat ill to the stomach. Her servants though, brought bread and cheese and when we eventually retired, there was tea to calm nerves. I have never been to Tyde Hall and these walls have only ever been a story to me. To walk it, to see the people who have such a mix of emotions that rise and fall beneath the surface. And yet, they served us, protected us and tended to us as if twenty years past they had not nearly all been slaughtered to man.
I am grateful for that. I hope that they can see the changed man as I do, but I understand if they cannot. I understand some of the things whispered, when they think we cannot hear.
Tyde Hall. A welcome stop in the northern lands of the isles, and a lovely home and people. Ever am I in awe and grateful for the hospitality shown there.

Relationship Note on Margot
Subject : Duchess Margot
My niece...My word, it feels so odd to write that out at last, but there it is. The Duchess is my kin through my father's sister, who was her mother, although I had not laid eyes on her in many years. Did she remember my face? Did she remember me holding her in my arms as a wee infant? She was so very calm and quiet, even then, you know. I expect she does not, bit that is of no matter, for I remember.
I also remember hearing news of her as she grew in the care of people who were, until recently, my enemies. Anxiously waiting and hoping against hope. Hearing of her ascension was music to my ears, and I sacrificed an entire consignment opportunity in order to make way to the nearest shrine to give thanks.
And now she is my Duchess, and my liege. One could wonder if that is odd, being her senior in years, but it is far from it. She is every inch the calm, practical ruler that Tyde needs, but with an undercurrent of passions and interests that gives her hidden depths. No shallow and tittering noble, this one. She is precisely what I had hoped she was, and I am proud to serve her, for as long as she will have me.
Even if one of her first overtures of duty was a..Slightly difficult one to bear, as much as I completely understand and support it.

Relationship Note on Margot
One man did not join us, having sworn himself beyond death to the Gyre. A young man chastised us for letting him have his way - drowning himself. Saying that now he'd belong to the Deeps forever.
I suppose I will know, if I am to serve as executioner, not to do such a thing again.

Relationship Note on Margot
She won a bloodless victory and in doing so stole forces and weapons from the Gyre and added them to her own. She showed that wit, diplomacy and guile can be more powerful than the sharpest sword. She did not just make the re-surging House Tyde stronger, but she made the Compact stronger. We are in the fight of our lives, and we are going to all be changed by what we go through in the coming days. And while we fight for our lives, we are going to do things we are not always going to be proud of.
Duchess Margot Tyde did something we can all feel a swell of pride from, and she showed us that no matter the darkness, there can be a better way. Changing is coming to Mourning Isles, and her rulers can either adapt or be swept away by the tide.

If they only knew what we know. I will love you, and protect you, until my last breath. Not because it is what my father would have wanted.
But because it is what I want.

Relationship Note on Margot
So much punishment have we endured. Our families decimated and our lives subsumed for others' purposes.
And now, she takes the reins of Tyde.
I have only my lament.
But my regret is a deep, deep thing, and as filled with resolve as the Lament is filled with ranks upon ranks of marines. The Reaper sits in the harbor, a harbinger of things to come.
Dark horizons, and dark tides. - Let them bring what they will.
