I look forward to working with THE Lady Niamh. It should be interesting. I'll be able to look pretty and all that and pretend like I know what I am talking about in regards to the stuff she does.

Relationship Note on Niamh
Meeting with Niamh was quite intriguing. She showed me her Hall and told me about her hopes for her Knights, few though they are. I am fascinated with what she intends to accomplish and I hope that I can assist her from my place with the Faith. If all the Knights of the Gold Order of the Dragon are as earnest and skilled they deserve my support.
I look forward to see what comes of it.

Relationship Note on Niamh
If I had the choice between wrestling with a bear and facing Niamh in a fight to the death, I'd take the bear 9 times out of 10. There's always the chance the earth will open up and swallow the bear; Niamh would find a way to finish the job regardless. I am a fortunate man to have a woman like her as my cousin - not just because I doubt I'll face her blade, but because she is so much more than a mere sword. But, I won't embarrass her here with stories from when we were young; she could do worse about me.

Relationship Note on Niamh
Only recently have I taken the opportunity to get to know the Grandmaster of the Guild of Champions. She presents herself as a formidable warrior and I've no doubt such presentation is accurate. I've met many a warrior in my lifetime, from the Oathlands to Arx, and more often than not they're in possession of far more brawn than brain. I'm thankful to discover that Lady Niamh seems to be an exception to such a rule.

Relationship Note on Niamh
How do I even begin to describe this woman? The little things she does to show how she feels?
Someone who strives so hard to make my life an adventure, even when I'm trapped within the walls.
She caught my heart the first time by turning my treehouse into the wider world, setting up a campsite, and inviting me off on a journey to ride a griffin to faraway lands -- across the sea to Eurus, or past the wastes to Cardia. To see the far realms that only a handful of Arvani have ever glimpsed. The same sort of adventures I used to have as a child, riding my griffin Cloudstriker to distant lands.
And now... now a book. Most of the pages missing, telling a story of a necklace she gave me. Setting an adventure through a forgotten myth, a trail of puzzles and riddles to follow to assemble the tale.
Someday, I need to find what will fill her heart with hope -- with life -- the same way she fills mine with these gestures. To show her how much she truly means to me.

The Order of the Golden Dragon.
I don't really know how I feel about this.
There's part of me that's so proud, that feels /full/, at seeing someone I love step up to try to push back the darkness. Gods know, once there were dozens of Orders out there, each with their own goals -- some seeking knowledge, some seeking power, yes, but many of them seeking just to keep the world from ending. Seeking to keep humanity alive.
We could use that again, with the darkness rising.
But I've lost so many people, too. My father dead. Vincere and Pietro dead. Dawn missing. The list goes on.
The idea of the woman I love putting herself in harm's way like that... it makes me uneasy. Selfish as that is, it does.
But I'll put that aside, and cheer as loudly as any others.
(Though this is, I imagine, how people feel about Ashfords much of the time; I can't imagine my own adventuring leaves Nia sleeping entirely easily, either...)

We each have our parts to play, I just wish that yours wasn't always, without fail, at the risk of your blood. Whether it's dueling for someone else's honor or rushing off to meet the enemy, it seems sometimes like you've got a damned deathwish. At least as the Minister of Agriculture it seemed like you might have been settling down some, might have stopped running ...I'm not even sure if it's to or away from something. But...well. That didn't last.
I'm glad you made it back in one piece. I'm glad for what more you'll go on to do. Glad for the opportunity to tell you the same as I do every time the next time you put your mortality on the line. 'Don't fuck this up.' What am I supposed to do without my little big sister if you do?

Our lives often had us moving in different directions. Our interactions were limited to brief hellos and waving goodbyes, with but a random word spoken here and there. And now that I have had the opportunity to sit with her, to enjoy breakfast, to laugh, to speak of all things serious and frivolous, I have a few things I can say. One, the world might want to watch out when we two are together; I foresee much mischief in our futures. Two, she gives wonderful instructions on the care and feeding of wild beasts. Three, she is an easy woman to grow fond of and to want near. I am afraid she's stuck with me now.

Relationship Note on Niamh
I find myself actually at something of a loss for words, for once.
I'm hardly the easiest person to get close to. I know I'm not all that keen on physical contact sometimes. I'm someone who takes time to warm to the idea of a relationship, and when I do, I want more than companionship. I want /partnership/. Someone who'll be at my side on expeditions, someone to share a campfire with, someone to /explore/ with. Whether that exploration is out in the world or the Stacks of the Archive.
Usually by the time I start to think I /could/ find that partnership with someone, they've already gone and found their own partner somewhere else.
Somehow I never expected to be the one who'd get asked. I certainly never expected to be wooed by someone setting up an entire adventure in a treehouse, just to give me a chance to travel again -- to show how a partnership could work.
I'm still mapping this path; it's unfamiliar territory. And honestly, I'm a little more terrified than anything I've ever done as an adventurer. Crumbling ruins, ancient catacombs, forgotten tombs... the truth is, that's /easy/ in comparison. If something goes wrong out there, I'm the only one at risk. But here? A misstep, a mistake, could hurt someone else. Someone who I care about.
But the truth is, I'm enjoying it, too. It gives me something to fight for... something new. I've had ideals, before, but they were abstract. Fighting for humanity in the abstract is all well and good, but especially in times of darkness, it's nice to have someone there at your side. Someone to travel with you, to support you when you need it -- and who you support in turn. Someone to help lead you back out of the darkness when you end up there.
Someone radiant, who'll try to get you to shed the armor for a little while. Both literally and metaphorically.

I'd thought that I'd lost my chance to get to know her better after I'd sent a messenger with a request some time ago, and never received a reply. I'm glad that somebody spoke to her and cleared up a great deal of confusion, as it turned out the messenger had misheard the name and had delivered it to somebody else! Once that had been cleared up, it was obvious that our first meeting had left a great first impression, and I'm glad because I've enjoyed every moment I've spent with her. Except maybe today, when I watched her get cut open by Zhayla, and that was tough to see. But it's no matter, she'll get her next time.

I have seen this woman move across blood and darkness in the blink of an eye. I have seen her obliterate evil with one swing of a (very large) stick. I have walked in true darkness at her side and I would do so again. She is more than just family. She is the woman I hope to become one day, she always has been. Before... Before she seemed fearless and untouchable. Now I know that no one is untouchable, she is still the woman I hope to become one day. Strong. Confident. Brutal.

I thought she was intimidating when I first met her, to be honest. A Prodigal, sure, but a noblewoman and second in leadership to a guild of duelists known throughout the Compact. And tall, and she had such a presence--.
But she was thoughtful, too, and funny, and she put me at ease. Now I know she's kind too. That's a pretty amazing combination. I owe Holt a drink of thanks for turning my attention toward the Champions.

I received a message from Lady Niamh, whom told me that she had been told all about me from a mutual friend. Of course... I had already heard much about her, so I needed to meet her in person. As beautiful as she is imposing, I hope that I stay in her good graces, if not to enjoy her company (which so far I very much do) but to also keep from earning the ire of somebody that looks as if they could best me in single combat without even breaking a sweat. It's also a quality in a woman that I didn't realize I found incredibly attractive.

The duel is fought and won.
She fought wonderfully, as I knew that she would. I've seen her in the practice ring enough to know that her position is well earned. Hopefully, this victory will also push all the naysayers back to choosing proper champions to defend them in their duels.

Lady of the Greenmarch family, a pleasant conversationalist and a curious mind. I appreciate her immensely, and would like to think we could, somehow, in some way, be something of friends. I keep her in my prayers, that she and I can find the answers we seek.
