Relationship Note on Reagan
Welcome to Arx, she looks like a petite warrior with flaming red hair, and her husband to be is so big! I love-love the contrast, so short, so tall - but all completely adorably warrior-ly cute!
Lady Raegan - may you never need assistance now with things from the top shelves.
Lord Teagan - Remember that the best things come in small packages!
Many well wishes to you both!

Relationship Note on Clarisse
Probably the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life. That long curly hair is amazing! I could braid it, or clean it, or scent it with lovely scents like wildflowers or pine or rose, or help you wash it. It looks so fun!
She is a prodigal (like me!) and has a smile that lights up your heart when you see it, she's humble, and friendly and wants to put forth her very best effort. I didn't get to see her long, but I think she is going to make her mark here in Arx.
I'll cheer you on whatever direction you want to go!

Relationship Note on Monique
We've had some ups and downs in my younger days, but she's one of the futures of the Greenwood Forest, Smart. Minxy. Useful. Counsiny. I'm not sure her mind ever stops. The forest will count on her to lead our people into the world and I'm proud to call her cousin.

A good friend. Good at snuggling, fun to gossip with in my pillowfort. She's not really ready for some of the darker things that lurk, and I do worry about her...

Relationship Note on Marius
The head of the Greenmarch family. A good head on his shoulder able to shoulder the weird of the past, and the present of the future. Particularly close to and have always trusted him, even when I'm throwing pouty fits. He is the present of the Greenwood Forest and it's people, half of the bridge that brings the past and the future of our people together.

Relationship Note on Piccola
Surprisingly social, and proof that if you want to have a title (non-noble that is) that you can indeed give it to yourself. She said she gave herself General as a title. I wonder if I could be 'Prettiest of Flowers'. Though it might be more interesting to be 'Taker of Snacks' then, people would know they could give me snacks. I suppose it's about the flourish of loveliness over functionality I suppose. For now I'll just go with Lady Neve.
Though, I will call you General because now that we've started using it, it seems really rude and weird not to.

With all the chaos, and the anger, and this shakeup I am reminded - you will be unlikely to be poked by a stabby-thing of war if you hug a tree.
I think I will hug a tree today.

I killed a man today. It's the first time I've actually killed a man. It happened by my hand. Well, my arrow actually, which my hand put in place and the bow, the fine Ida-made Greenwood bow, that's actually what killed him.
I didn't kill the man I intended. I shot, and it went by him. And it struck an even eviler man doing even eviler things behind him right in the eye. So..I kind of killed the wrong man, not the one I was aiming at - but I killed this man by sort-of accident in a good way? I think?
I don't know the name of the man I killed. I'll probably never know it. We don't know what to call him when it comes time to remove his body from it's place. How are people..able to kill other people when they don't even know their names? Does it bother them? Sure, even if they are evil men (and women) and put to sword, or arrow, or frying pan, or whatever have you. Does it weigh on them that they killed a person, even a bad person that would do ill will, that they ended another person of whom they don't even know of? That is the end of their story in this world. Do they have loved ones at home that will never be told of what happened? Considering the actions..maybe that is for the best.

Relationship Note on Katarina
Okay, I was wrong. When I said that I wasn't sure you were ready for danger, I didn't realize that you could be a definition of the word that danger swirls around.
So in summary, you were right. I was wrong. You are ready for the danger. So ready for the danger.

In the words of a wise man that I heard once, sometimes you feel like a nut. Sometimes you don't.
I wonder what everyone's favorite kind of nut is?
I like Cashews.

I am so very disappointed in the compact. The anger towards prodigals, the blatant racisms, the unfairness. I see a city of many different kinds of people, different colors, fabrics and food. Different hair, and bodies, softness and hardness, warriors and scholars, happiness and sorrow. The unrelenting bitterness makes me so very sad.

As a hobby, you could always try making more children? It's a popular hobby passed from all generations. You can never have too many little ones, can you? Then you can raise them and they can be so fun!

I find that the world is a lot bigger place than I remember it being. In a good way, there's lots of people that you meet that you never would have thought you would. In a bad way, it always seems like there's new people showing up, and a lot of times those people seem to want to stick pointy things into us.
These people need more hugs or something as children.

Relationship Note on Talwyn
I've witnessed the power of his lute, and it can be a terrifyingly effective thing. The power of song can bring much merriment - and his ability to twist bottoms, with pies, with people of drunkness status - is something I find awe-inspiring.

There's something about visiting (or perhaps more accurately stumbling upon) a princess to make one realize when their own sense of style is perhaps unfashionably out of date or dare one might say nonexistant. I shall have to look into style and see how I can wrap myself in these things that..well, wrap around my self.
Now the question - what should one budget on fashionables?

I knew things were going to be bad in this war. Still I felt compelled to participate. Not being a fighter, a flighty dreamer if anything I think my dream may have slipped away from me. I went to Setarco with the Healer Corp that accompanied the military forces. Even though it was on a fleet of ships. I hate ships. I'm like a tree. I prefer firm planting of feet upon ground.
That being said, this silly woman had studied healing. She had been training others in emergency aid. She was sweet-talked that she might be useful. There is no usefulness. How can man, elf, anyone stand up to such seething, unbridled hate? I knew I was unprepared. I had seen scenes of wars previous, my father spared me the most gruesome of the details. I was wholly unprepared. Limbs. Partial people. Chaos. And this was the least bloody of the engagements. These wars have happened before. And they will happen again.
I can't stand to hear things like 'we won'. I haven't heard those words. There was no true victory here. Covered in blood so crimson I feel it will haunt my dreams. I feel like I can't go back to being the same happy girl I once was. I feel like the clock has been wound back once. Perhaps for the next generation. If we're lucky. But we only bought time. Resources - like people, grow thinner. We are streched so thin. We have lost much. Eirlys has passed. Noble, commoner, slum..I've never cared much for determinations between any people. But I've seen now first hand they all bleed the same kind of color. And they all can work together in the worst of circumstances to overcome - even at the highest of cost. I didn't see the battle. I wasn't some warrior. I had no effect on the battle. But I was terrified. I experienced fear. I was nervous. The first injuries came in, and they didn't stop, there wasn't enough space, people. There..wasn't enough anything.
I will miss you, Eirlys. You were of the best of us Greenmarches, and your loss is felt hard. I'll remember you.
I am glad to be back in Arx. I'm tired. I'm messy. And I'm home. Whatever little petty things, whatever grudes I held, seems small now.
