Relationship Note on Barric

Haven't had such a close bout in a -long- time.

He's definitely learned quite a bit since the last time we've clashed blades. Which is great - we need it.

Relationship Note on Barric

Perhaps it's early to call you a friend, but I think friend of a friend counts for something. Whether you truly wanted to get to know me, or just wanted to make sure that I wasn't going to be bad for Michael, I appreciate that you were willing to do it.

Relationship Note on Barric

I followed you into a meeting, to learn negotiation techniques, and your already considering me for marriage to make good on relations! Suppose I will learn not to blindly follow along. Still my Cousin if it is for the house, I shall graciously do my duty.

Relationship Note on Barric

Pragmatic. Fickle, only where it is required and appropriate. I see so much of myself in my young brother even despite our many differences.

I have only pity in my heart for an enemy that this man -- Sword of the Bastion -- my heir -- and I share in common.

Relationship Note on Barric

Prince Barric Grayson has chosen to indicate he cares little for his personal honor by refusing to respond to peer's challenge. I made no public spectacle of my challenge, and I gave the prince one final opportunity to name his champion or submit his apology, but he has deigned to ignore the demands of his honor.

Thus, I feel free in announcing that Prince Barric Grayson publicly admits his fault in writing words of an honorless and unkind nature regarding his kinswoman Lady Dawn shortly after she left the city to secure the lives of everyone in the Compact, including his own. I take his refusal to meet this challenge as an admission of his failure to his family, his house, and his honor.

I am sure the esteemed leaders of House Grayson will be very proud to hear of his effusive apology in maligning one of their own.

Relationship Note on Barric

He seemed impressed at my youth, but he is not much older and not far behind. House Grayson is lucky to have him, as both a man and as a warrior. I look forward to what the future may have in store for him.

Relationship Note on Barric

That the Prince Barric Grayson has decided to call me a friend and I him-- is a bright spot in all of the darkness that I have faced in these past days. He is remarkably sharp and intelligent, despite the face that he shows the world, and a good friend to have.

I have already sent to commission a painting that we discussed for him.

Relationship Note on Barric

Barric is trying to become the hero he has always wanted to be. When I look at him, I see both the determined boy doing sword drills outside my window when we were young, and as the man I'm coming to know and appreciate more and more each day.

Relationship Note on Barric

Barric and I have not had many chances to get to know one another throughout the years. But since my arrival and through unique circumstances, he's quickly become my strength and shield. He is a friend I will never turn my back on, and a cousin who will always count upon my support no matter what. Who better else to have at your back in such uncertain circumstances we face?

Relationship Note on Barric

The man is handsome, there's no denying that, and he holds a position of honor.

But I cannot help but look forward to getting to know more about him. I suspect that there is a lot more to him, buried beneath the surface, to explore.

I will even forgive him for forgetting my name. Though, do not think I forgot that he also owes me a moment without his shirt.

Relationship Note on Barric

Time away has only brought him closer. A friendship grows deeper still. A favor given proved to bind our unspoken words.

Oh, and that smile. It can melt the thickest layers of ice.

Relationship Note on Barric

I first met the Sword of Bastion at a brawl my family hosted. He didn't hold back his punches, something I most appreciated! It's the only way you can get any better, after all. When it comes to politics, we seem to be of a similar mind: no thanks. So we serve our families in our own ways, and can manage a drink without insufferable formalities. He is a most excellent sparring partner, and I hope our friendship will strengthen the ties of our great houses.

Relationship Note on Barric

Second cousin and Sword of Bastion. We trained together as children before I put sword and bow away, trading them for quill and parchment. Like me, he came to his destiny early. I do not doubt that it was always in his fate to be named Sword, just as it was always in mine to support and shelter my brother as his Voice. But I suspect both of us would have been glad for more time to prepare, to better ourselves, to be ready for the challenges these days bring.

Still, he serves honorably and he serves well. And when he believes in himself as much as Alaric did the day he gifted our ancestral sword, he will be a force to be reckoned with in Arvum.

Relationship Note on Barric

For as long as I can remember, Barric has wanted to be a hero. Like his cousin Dawn, he was frequently around in my early years under Duke Gabriel's roof and one of a small group of us who maintained friendships as children. He was practically the Duke's shadow back then. I haven't seen much of him in the past few years as our obligations have taken us on different paths.

Relationship Note on Barric

Prince and Sword of House Grayson. I bested him also in brawling at House Redrain and he too took it well. Otherwise I have no idea what sort of man he may be, yet.

Relationship Note on Barric

The Sword of Bastion is totally the kind of man most women swoon over. He's tall, dark, handsome... I may have written about him before and said similarly if not the -same- exact thing but that only proves I truly mean it. But what do I know about this man besides his striking good looks? I know he's a charming and chivalrous, he's loyal to his family and a romantic at heart. There isn't anything about him that turns me away and I hope that only means I'll be getting closer and closer as time goes on.

Relationship Note on Barric


Now here is a man who looks the part!

The Sword of Bastion would be immediately recongizable at a hundred yards. I was fortunate enough to make conversation at much shorter range. Although we did not have much time, it is plain to me that he is canny and talented.

More importantly, we share interests in the well-being of the citizenry. I am glad to have made his acquaintance.

Relationship Note on Barric

Barric is the man that all the story books about dashing Princes are written about. He is honorable, charming, and enjoyable company. I met him upon returning to the city, and he has been very easy to get along with on those random rare encounters that we see one another. He certainly owes me a dance.
