Relationship Note on Savio
I lost to his lute.
Yes, you heard me right,
a good bonk from a lute is something I quite never experienced before
with the serious wound I shouldn't have sparred with him.
Our lyrical battles are quite often my favorite. although
it is usually who can annoy Haakon instead towards one another.
I digress,
Savio is a close friend I treasure dearly.
We somehow make it through the battles,
for that, I am grateful. I shall always be your best girl. defending you against those who would speak ill of you.

Relationship Note on Savio
There were many that came to be there with us on our day of days; the day that two Households became one. I wonder if they believed we would be capable of enduring a full year, but we have. Our oaths were struck with such honest and earnest intentions that it doesn't feel like a year. We've been through a lot this year and I think we have many days ahead of us that are both good and bad, but we've done what we could in our first year to make strides to building a stronger future for our House.
A toast, to many more successful years to come.

Thank you, Study Buddy. Every time I wake to snow, I think of warm, orchid-lush gardens. Sand and jungle humidity- that I will never complain about again. Everything that isn't another layer of wool and freezing. I cannot wait to see it.

Relationship Note on Savio
In the latest of his many crimes against the Compact, taste, and society in general, Lord Savio Pontelaus Proscipi Amadeo, First of his Name, has assaulted my senses by sending me a poem in which he attempts to rhyme "Softest" with "got tits" (as in, I haven't any). This ignominious event deserves to be recorded, yes, for posterity, and for all time.

I want it noted that I also believe in you when others don't, I just also believe in your natural inclination to act a fool. Alas, I have chosen you as a friend, and therefore no amount of foolishness will convince me otherwise.
I should have made this a poem, but I have not. Or at least not a poem which rhymes; I suppose it could be a blank verse poem. Ah, blank verse, an art form I know you despise.

Relationship Note on Savio
It would be an odd world, wouldn't it be, if we were not all of us at least a little bit human. Fallible, weak in all the ways we don't want to be, sometimes even broken. A little bit prone to anger, to judgement, a little bit frightened, a little bit selfish, vain.
Do you think we so recoil from these traits when we see them in others because they embody so much of what we hate about ourselves? I hadn't thought of the question in that light until just now.
I do apologize for setting none of this in verse. While I know we all of us need a good laugh every now and again, you will forgive me, I hope, if I save the particular joke that is my attempts at poetry so that it remains between my wife and myself. You are a gifted musician, but her laughter, I think, must be the more beautiful music.
And there it is. There we see MY particular bit of vanity. This is a white journal, after all. There are traditions which much be upheld.

Relationship Note on Savio
So much went into our political contract between Amadeo and Proscipi. I spent two years into gaining a friendship with House Proscipi by aiding them in numerous ways and then fighting with them by their side in two massive wars... Then there were the exceptional circumstances that had to align...
It truly feels like for the Gods themselves made it possible.
I will soon get to call you my Lord husband in the eyes of all... but the Archlector is not going to make it easy....
Still, with you at my side the future is going to be well worth living.

Relationship Note on Savio
All credit to Lord Savio; the ink wasn't fully dry on that last journal, Scholar, before he wrote to set up a meeting.
He arrived politely and on time - on my turf, too - and he heard me out, and he carried himself like a nobleman should throughout. Like a man, and not some petulant whining child. I know a lot of people with much higher titles who'd have done a lot, lot worse.
What he did takes bravery, Scholar; not the bravery of battle or the bravery of a sailor in a storm, but the bravery to walk into a place when you know it's going to be a cold reception. The bravery to stand by your word even when a commoner calls you on it, when you'd only addressed your peers. The bravery to deal politely and with grace with someone who's known for being a murdering criminal bastard who hates silks. However you might feel about his background and antecedents, that was pure class.
I'm impressed, and I don't often say that about a silk.

Savio? Come and visit me. Bring your husband. I'll tell you exactly what I think of you both, to your faces.
Thank you, Scholar. Will you make sure that that gets copied to his Lordship?

Relationship Note on Savio
Yesterday, Lord Savio spontaneously improvised the most charming poem about me. Well, Mockingbird Evaristo was playing, as well, so I suppose it could be both a poem and a song, really. In any case - this recitation was so delightful it ought to be my epitaph, I think, carved into a headstone for all to see for all of eternity to remember me by. If you see Lord Savio, do ask him to recite it for you.

Nothing that shines ever sees its own light. Perhaps it's the nature of things that the brightest are only ever staring out into the darkness of the void. But I see your light. I'll keep telling you it's there as long as you need. I'll keep telling other people about it. However long it takes. And if I'm angry, it won't be with you.

On commissions, I make my request -
I give details then give it a rest.
What the artist will find
in their fine, fertile mind?
I will love, as they give it their best.

Relationship Note on Savio
Thoughts of... taking a moment to forget all the carnage .... and dance...
It's nearly been a year since I met Savio Pontelaeus, now Lord Savio Proscipi... It's been a year that's changed so many things for me, I can't even begin to reflect properly. He's been a constant through all the chaos, though all the hardships, through all the fun times and beautiful moments. I think often back to our time on Pieros beach, just him and I, in a secluded cove with white sand, my arms wrapped around him. I thought, if anything, all I'd get to do is hold my man in private. Now, I don't have to. He always wanted me to take him to dance, so, I did. The Celestial ball held by Marquessa Quenia gave us a night to escape all the horrific things we witnessed at Tremorus... a night we both needed, with good friends, such as Lord Apollo and Cesare Whisper. I... owe that to Savio as well, to help me see people in a manner that I'm not accustomed too.
However, the ball, I will never forget being able to take Savio to his first Arvum ball and dance with him all night.
We've been through a lot together.

Relationship Note on Savio
My heart sings when in the presence of Lord Savio Proscipi. At the moment, it sings mournful love songs as it breaks in the wake of the horrific tragedy at Tremorus. Haakon and I waited impatiently for word after the war, wanting to hear the fate of not only the band of 500 Eswynders we sent to aid them but of our friends and allies among the Leporidae. Only a scant number of our people returned home, part of the crushing toll the Skal'dajans made Tremorus pay. I can imagine the grief the Saltfather to my children, the namesake of my daughter, is feeling. And I wish I could do anything to lift it from him.
For now? I will hold pride, joy, and celebration in my heart beside the mourning. When he is ready for it, it will be there for him to receive. Because even the worst moments can lead to good. That one who has proven their courage, their loyalty, their friendship has been elevated and now might forge the shape of the future for the remainder of his people is something to celebrate. Eswynd blood has spilled on Proscipi land, and Proscipi blood has spilled on an Eswynd ship, preserving both houses. I am glad my children will have such a strong example of perseverance and growth to look to.
And someday my heart will sing fanciful songs in his presence again.

Lord Savio and I have both had to set our mercantile interests aside, the spaces that once hosted them turned to other merchants, other purposes. But the Rainbow Lounge adjacent his space - a riot of color, mismatched assemblage of comforts - is so lovely I hope it lasts forever. There's something that reminds me at once of the best places I've ever visited, and too of being home.
