Relationship Note on Apollis

You're utterly ridiculous. Rum with sugar? Rum with honey? What's wrong with you, brother?

Relationship Note on Carita

The sand is bone, shell, and rust!
I lay in the cradle of this expanse,
humming a dirge for each mortal
wave--arriving like hoofbeats and
thunder to depart with laconic airs.

She sings, she sings,
and the world sleeps.

(A tiny note is scrawled in the corner of this poem, reading "Note to self: Thank lady Carita for the inspiration.")

Songmaids sung the
fate of him, whose story was so
told: "Mer-lass took him as her
own! In love, their hands were
bound. Sister, tragic to forget:
Our mortal lovers drown."

Relationship Note on Lucita

By gloom, I fear I've lost my way.
Who will sing me thro' the grey--?
Oh! Muse, if you I might persuade
--pray, lend me but a verse to aid

Relationship Note on Astraea

The moon is a widow's face! She
weeps the silver of timeless stars;
speaks the echo of empty space.

Relationship Note on Zhayla

I never expected to watch someone die. To see them go from smiling, talking, to---something else. My heart aches for this girl I never knew, for Marian, and for Askel. I wish had been strong enough to protect them.

A foolish wish. Marian had stood against Bringers, been a sword. Still those men cut her down.

What could I have done?

I cannot rid my mind of that question. It repeats in an ugly constant refrain. A song that I wish I never wrote.

Relationship Note on Astraea

My sister keeps volunteering us for things. While I love her enthusiasm for life and helping others, I'm not sure I'm cut out for this. The last time I held a sword was right before gifting it to my dearly departed husband.

And back then, I nearly dropped it on his foot.

I feel terribly uninformed on the state of Arx. If anyone can enlighten me on the matters of our lovely, always in some sort of turmoil city--please contact me. I promise a night of good food and liquor in exchange.

Perhaps even a song.
