Relationship Note on Valkieri

My cousin-in-law, Duke Rubino.

I think he's my cousin-in-law.

There's a large chart in the library and I studied it until my head hurt.

It was upside down.

Someone should make him smile.

I don't think I'm that someone.

Relationship Note on Pietro

He's simply lovely! And so in love. I don't think he's a relation, more a cherished friend of the family? It doesn't matter. I liked being around him, though -- like most people -- I think he found my familiarity off-putting.

I'm trying to be more reserved.

Truly.

Relationship Note on Dafne

My lovely, lovely cousin. She was so kind to express some interest in my calculations and -- at least, I think that's what happened.

There was a cat.

That I remember.

Where do people go when they want to yell? Other than their bedrooms?

Today I measured off the approximate area of the Great Cathedral with a ball of twine.

If the Pantheon intends to smite it, I think it's important to know the size of the fireball.

We should consider summering in Gemecitta.

She has bright sparks and tinder should be careful.

When rats are forced to live in close proximity, sometimes their tails become entangled. The oils of their pelts, fur, dirt, the litter of their nests (twine, for example), and the flexible nature of the appendages in question contribute to a hopeless network of knots. They don't even have the leverage to turn and chew off their own tail. The only thing the increasingly desperate creatures can attack is their neighbor.

This violent and inextricable mass is called a Rat King.

Eventually, only one is left alive, and with the weight of all the corpses behind him, he is immobile.

He dies of starvation.

The End.

I met a short man by the river who wanted my clothes. That would have ended badly.

Lavender isn't his color.

I met someone who believes he can build a bridge between the Odd and the Normal.

There goes the neighborhood.

When Larissa passes through a garden, even the stamen stand at attention.

Being a flower would be horrible. Bugs would crawl all over you, bees would fly up your nose, and someone would probably pick you. Then you'd die.

Captain Gian treats ratcatchers like ladies, but -- he claims -- not ladies like ratcatchers. Save for some bowing and employment of titles, I don't see much difference.

Lord Inigo Malvici has excellent eyebrows and should try not to walk backwards.

Mistress Bethany's stuffed hawk is named Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff. We call him 'Dorff'.

I want a dog.

People in Lycene Ward, apparently, have a lot of sex. The city's already crowded. They should slow down.

I'm the new rat catcher!

Captain Gian has never had a persimmon.

Welcome to Arx, mind where you step!

It's been a very busy day.

Live while you're alive.
