Training has a way ... I seem to have been starting entries that way lately. Fill in the blank has a way. I suppose, I guess, maybe, that is just the way things are.
Anyway, I have been seeking more training in things. The more I learn, the more I don't know. The more I get drawn in, the more I push away. This city is changing me, but how could it not? If you don't ...
My words are a mess, I meant to write about training and my words become a jumbled mess. I just need to focus.

Conversations have ways to take on a life of there own it seems. A simple greeting can sometimes send you upon a journey that you never thought possible. Question things that you never thought to question. Provide answers you never thought to seek.
Keep your head down, Aksel, you aren't here to think or go on journey's of discovery. You know who you are. If you ever forget, just remember one thing. It's simple.

So I am a little late in writing this, but never late then never. Horses are pretty magnificiant beasts. However, I don't think I am meant to ride one much less jump over things. The first jump went fine, much to my amazement, but the second. That went drastically wrong.
Thankfully I didn't break my ass. I don't think I would have ever lived that one down.

So I swam in a race today. How did it go? In a word, I sucked.
Only can get better. Cause if I got worse? I'd drown.

The Spirits guide me, there is so much to understand that I do not know quite where to begin.
Fortunately my part in this is easy: for Nightgold, I am to be pointed at our enemy and see it done.

Not sure why I finding myself caring about someone else's problems. They're not my damn problems.
This shit isn't meant for you, Aksel. You tried, you offered, you can't just keep worrying about if they're just not interested. They got their own ways at sorting their stuff out, the least you can do is respect it. The fact that you think you can help is a little arrogant.
Keep your head down and do your job. It's what you're best at.

To anyone who cares, I think I look good in a dress.
This might end up being my formal wear.

Relationship Note on Belladonna
Met in a bar, had a couple of drinks and a better conversation than I had expected out of someone like her. I have the sensation that she is very sly, perhaps even ruthless, yet is pleasant at the same time. While this isn't something I haven't met before, she was, at the very least kind enough to talk to me for an evening.
Good thing I don't have anything she wants. There are perks to just being another no-name face in the crowd. You're not important and you don't have anything of real value. So that usually means I get people when they're most honest and there's no need for buttering up.
Smart woman though. But, no reason not to have another chat if I ever run into her again.

Relationship Note on Sigurd
Solid man. Good man. Hope to know him better. And apparently the man can drink better than he appears.
But get your own room, man, seriously.

Relationship Note on Serafine
First she beats me in a couple of spars. Next she drinks a bunch of us under the table.
I'd say more, but damnit, my head hurts.
It's not right, it's not right I tell you.

I realize I need a hobby beyond just fighting. I'm not really sure what but I need to make more of a real effort at getting better at it. My life cannot all be about combat. There has to be more to life than just that.

Relationship Note on Eirene
By the spirits she is gorgeous. Her looks are only matched by her no nonsense attitude and ability with a sword.
I would dearly like to get to know her better.
As my older brother used to say when he saw a woman he was smitten with, "There goes my future ex-wife."
Though, I feel like I'm only just slightly out of my league.

Relationship Note on Anze
I like this man. He speaks plainly and seems to give everyone a fair shot. To that, he gave me more lumps than I had expected. Honestly, he made me wonder just how good I was as a soldier. Though we seemed to agree on the point that the training weapons in the training center are complete garbage, and said he wanted a rematch when I had a proper weapon that I was more accustomed to. Said it wasn't a fair fight.
Normally I'd agree with that, but the weapon doesn't make the man or warrior. So it's clear I have my work cut out for me if I'm going give this role as Sword of Stonedeep the credit it deserves.
Still, good man. Should have a drink with him sometime.

I've arrived in Arx from Stonedeep. This place is larger than I had expected it to be. I'm not really sure what to expect here, or what's expected of me. Not sure why I was needed or if my presence is really needed.
At least I've come during winter. Not really sure how I would've fared if I had made the journey south during summer months. Really, the idea of warmer weather is a little distasteful to me, I like the cold. Or well, I like being able to put on more layers. I can't really shed my skin.
The first welcome I received was at the hands of Prince Anze Redrain, who I founded reminded me of the temperment back home. Though he did thrash me like a welp. I suppose I should've expected that. Still have a great deal to learn.
I don't know where I'll be staying or what Nadia has in store for me. As much as I'll miss my younger sisters back home, I can't really ignore the request of an old friend.
