Relationship Note on Aric

You might have a bit more time to establish yourself if you don't refer to your sister in the journal. Might as well take the bull by the horns now!

What an interesting assemblage of Keatons we have gathered together here.

May I never know the secret of those mysterious works, my beloved niece.

Relationship Note on Ida

I just wanted to take a moment to thank Dame Ida Ferron. Her work on a project I requested was exemplary, but beyond the craftsmanship, she was a pleasure to work and negotiate with. Her patience with a less martially inclined Lady in addressing my needs was much appreciated. I recommend her work most heartily. Look for the rocking chairs, my friends, you will not be disappointed!

Has your adventure taught you a method of keeping baby mountain lions baby mountain lion sized?

Relationship Note on Roran

The Archlector's writing about change has inspired me! While this may not be a direct answer to the questions he posed our community, those questions did make me think of all the times when children have come in and out of my life and how important it is to work together to provide them all youngsters with the greatest opportunities. I look forward to seeing what the communities of our city can pull together, to have a legacy for all the youngsters yet to come!

Ladies and gentlemen, find a person to look at you the way Norwood Clement looks at a fine sword.

Relationship Note on Giulio

An interesting discussion on truth and its place in education. Could you perhaps expand upon your thoughts with a discussion of how you perceive the relationship between truth and honesty and the relative merits (or flaws) of both?

Relationship Note on Victus

On behalf of the people of Oakhaven, and specifically those working to provide some of the finest Oathlands wood supplies to be found, I would just like to thank you for appreciating the fine points and qualities of the mighty Oak. Know that we are always happy to work to meet and exceed the lumber needs of those of such discerning tastes as His Oakliness.

Yesterday's lessons:
Goats are an excellent clean up solution to pie covered competition fields.
Sometimes it's good to just get in line for the unknown and see what happens.
The equitable distribution of cookies (or payment) in general makes good inspiration for teenagers.
A lack of proper incentive can doom an organization.
Simplicity can overcome complicated.
Speaking in metaphor for too long is exhausting.
Watching a herd of small goats that have just cleaned an entire tournament field of pie being herded back to an estate is a sight worth seeing.
There are still good days to be had.

Relationship Note on Percephon

I am flawed enough to have a certain amount of pride. I believe Lady Wyrmguard called me the Aunt Superior of the Oathlands. Great Aunt adds at least another generation to me, my good fellow. Though I suppose...

(The scholar records pausing at this point in the entry, the better to fetch some water for Lady Keaton. cont...)
I suppose that I am one now, what with young Aeryn.

And Shae getting married.

I seem to have found another impetus to have an extra glass of wine this evening and I am uncertain if I should thank you for it.

Relationship Note on Fairen

No sleight was intended, no malice felt. If I take offense, it is most likely to come with a message and a strongly worded encouragement to donate to charity to make peace.

Though that said, and my first statement still holding true, do feel free to reach out to arrange a donation should you feel so inclined. Philanthropy should flourish in peace and in conflict.

Relationship Note on Cara

If her words are based in the personal, it is a personal experience shared by many, whatsoever their gender. Be the blows physical of otherwise.

It is a reminder many need to hear, one that many may need to hear again in the generations to come.

If her words are symbolic, they carry a different and equally important weight.

Credit to where it is due. The Princess must be granted sole victory in this contest. Though her recent alliance with Lady Khanne in the matter may prove an even greater rout.

Dear Scholars,

She asked Percephon. She truly asked him.

My daughter is going to return to visit with a shockingly interesting vocabulary. I do understand how she has come to adore her friends, though. Such vibrant spirits.

Relationship Note on Norwood

If it is any consolation, I suspect it is one word, not two.

Then again, I am not certain I want to know. The scholars would need to turn to the Princess to confirm it.

Lady Sorrel has dubbed me Auntie Superior of the Oathlands. While I am not entirely certain what this job would entail, onomatopoeically it sounds right.

I wonder how one would make this official.

Relationship Note on Reigna

((On the page with Reigna's most recent post))
--the handprint of a small child, indeed, a very Aeryn sized infant, in ink --

You should know that one of your cousins has named me Aunt Superior of the Oathlands. I will make sure that this young lad gets in no greater trouble than leaving this little mark for you, so much as it is in my power. Though I cannot promise he may not leave a handprint or two in the house when we get home from the scholars.

My time in Arx has taught me so much in so short a time. Tonight's lesson is joy, and the strange way joy and the past can entwine to create an emotion I cannot quite put a word to. The awareness of the vast gulf between joy and the parts of light that seem so empty of it. Is there a word for the keen awareness of that space?

Relationship Note on Aureth

To be fair, throwing 'shit' at someone's head is a very clear, if perhaps not eloquent, way of making one's point.

Relationship Note on Veronica

I have seen my niece grow from an acorn to a very fine and fierce root vegetable in service to the realm and its protection. I would say I could not be prouder, but I imagine she will find ways to prove that I can be.
