Truly one of the best older brothers a girl could hope for.

Relationship Note on Alis

I think we make a pretty good team. Probably on account of the names.

Relationship Note on Amari

Baroness Redire gave me such a lovely tour of the Valardin ward. Now I know where all the best drinking cows are kept!

Relationship Note on Raja

I bought a very nice solid metal mug from Mistress Raja Culler's shop because I liked it, but the more I've used it, the more I've come to realize it really would come in handy in a pinch as a weapon. I personally have never experienced a bar or street brawl but one never knows.

Everyone should have one.

I've spent the past few days largely shut in my room, annotating a number of books. It's been utterly fascinating.

But gods, I miss the days when Mama or Papa would bust in and give me an earful about neglecting my diplomacy lectures. I wish I could go back and tell my younger self to treasure it while it lasted.

Relationship Note on Ida

I'm not much of a weapons person, but black daggers do sound appealing.

What an awful thing, to downplay and belittle the suffering of others.

Relationship Note on Amari

An interesting thought. I would be doing my family a grave disservice to choose anything other than duty, but scurvy is quite unpleasant.

Pine needle tea is excellent for:

Vision
Chest congestion
Sore throat
Scurvy
And of course, breath

High Lord Alis knows this already, of course, but now everyone else can be informed as well.

Relationship Note on Terese

Princess Terese's event on knighthood was inspiring and educational. Some of the stories were quite astonishing.

There are so changes to Arx since I was here last. Cousin Keely introduced me to the chocolate coffee at Bold Espressions. Definitely worth another visit.

I have decided I will eat goose every day. Breakfast. Lunch. Dinner. Perhaps even goose mousse for dessert. All geese shall fall before me, trussed up in string, roasted, stuffed, candied, gravied. First I must learn to hunt them, but I have found purpose and reason to do so.

Geese are evil and best experienced upon a plate. Drowned in cranberry jelly.

Relationship Note on Ainsley

I worry about him. Moreso, since I know he doesn't worry about himself. I don't know what I would do if Ainsley died. I don't know if I would survive it.

Stop being so cavalier with your own life. Please...?

No matter what Ainsley says he was not fine. I come upon my brother grinning like a fool, drinking tea at Whitehawk Manor like he is king of the world... And bleeding to death in front of his hosts. If he were not dying I would kill him myself! What on earth does he think he's doing?

As for the people with him. If thoughts could kill I would likely have accidentally flambeed the lot. Save, of course, for Aiden. Aiden is the one who brought me there and saved Ainsley's life. He's the only one among them with a lick of sense, and I swear that...

(From here the journal descends into rambling about how people need to take better care of themselves, Ainsley is an idiot, and so on.)

I went to visit Shadow to tend his medical needs last night. He's such a dear, odd fellow. Not a native speaker of the language, and very troubled. I'm a bit concerned but I patched him up the best I could. it's all I can honestly do.

Relationship Note on Mae

I think she saved my life at Reese's wedding. I'm not sure what to say aside from 'thank you'.

Relationship Note on Michael

Possibly the bravest Knight I've met.
