When I find out I'll probably think you're all very invested in me being obsessed with bees.

Relationship Note on Katarina

I only have respect for this woman. She is so strong and a natural leader. She inspires! There is a part of me that wishes I could be like her. I know I can't, we are completely different women with completly different motivations. Maybe I can learn from her. If not, maybe we can share some stories and drinks!

Relationship Note on Katarina

Much like my wife and I, Princess Katarina and I sometimes have differing opinions. Similar to my wife and I though, we're able to have differing outlooks and opinions, while still respecting those of the other party. That is a good friendship. I prefer people who have their own opinions, rather than flock to the most popular opinion of the day.

This is why I respect her.

Relationship Note on Katarina

Princess Katarina Valardin,

The next time that you come you will need to have some hot tea blended with Laurent honey and Blackram whiskey. Perhaps this can be when we get together to discuss the possibilities for the winter festival. Also, my wife was murmuring to me regarding her desire to try out various pie recipes. I may require your aid in testing those.

Relationship Note on Katarina

I recently attended the wedding of Princess Katarina Valardin. She was fantastic. The ceremony itself was elegant and precisely what I'd expect of a wedding conducted by her House. I do need to remember to speak with the Archlector who officiated the ceremony. There was a great deal of dust in the air. My helmet successfully warded against the majority of it.

Relationship Note on Katarina

I am so excited to see Sir Arugula is going to turn stud. Now that I am learning to be quite the horsewoman maybe I can get quite the charger for battle to save my Semiramis for runs that require more stamina. How very exciting! I really must learn more about this horse business! Perhaps my dear friend would be willing to coach me?

It was a joy to watch Katarina and Rook be married today. The ceremony, conducted by Archlector Ilvin was lovely, and both bride and groom resplendent. I am so very happy for you, Kat.

Mistress of the Sea married the Master of Coin, and it was a glorious celebration. Archlector Ilvin Steadworth of Limerance outdid himself today when he married those two. I hope their union brings them the happiness.

Relationship Note on Katarina

The Princess' wedding was spectacular. I do not think that I have ever seen a more beautiful bride, and I'm doubly-honored and humbled that even on her wedding day she still has far too many kind words for others.

I was able to witness Katarina's wedding today, it was a fine event. Minus the constant grumblings of one of the other attendees. I wish the newlyweds all the best and that the gods smile down upon them for the rest of their lives together.

I preened the requisite amount for that lovely compliment. THANK YOU, Princess. Yes, we certainly must. Although, goodness, I'll need to be brought up to current day on the Compact gossp!

Relationship Note on Katarina

Such a warm spirit to her. Every time I've seen her she has always been so full of life and joy. Princess Katarina is truly a gift to Arvum. Needless to say, I deeply enjoyed the party she gave, and getting to see so many ladies and princesses enjoying themselves and laughing in that infectiously joyful energy.

Relationship Note on Katarina

Mistress of the Sea
How you carry me
From desert sands
To Arxian beaches
Always flowing wild and free.

Mistress of the Sea
How you play with me
From teasing tides
To ebbing shallows
A mystery throughout history.

Mistress of the Sea
How you defy me
From crashing into rocks
Through narrowing straights
Never to be restrained by fates.

Mistress of the Sea
How you nourish me
From your deeps with bounty
Through the storms and calm
Waters that never bind or anchor me.

Relationship Note on Katarina

I encountered this stranger recently in the market. I can't even readily recall why I had gone to the market with Samantha in the first place. I may have needed oil for my armor and weapons, I can't remember. I digress.

She was seated on a stool near a vendor, selling pots of ink or dyes. She claimed that they would provide one with the means to receive a tattoo that would be temporary and was often utilized in her homeland for ceremonial purposes or special occasions. I found it to be fairly intriguing to say the least. I've never felt the need to tattoo my flesh, it is a peculiar practice. I will admit though that I was very curious about these temporary means of placing ink on the canvas that is skin, likely a result of some sort of appeal to the adventurous side of my mind.

The princess did mention a few interesting facts, including some of her activities within the western Oathlands and on behalf of House Valardin which were of great interest to me. She apparently seeks to someday become a citizen of the Compact and, in my humble opinion, it is a certain sign that she would be accepted with open arms due to the fact that without citizen she's already began to throw herself into spreading charity among the people who took her in and understands the core concept of what makes the Compact strong: when someone helps you, you help them back. We rely upon one another, even now, for a great deal. She understands this already and I believe it will make her inclusion to the Compact a certainty.

It's my sincere hope that I did not offend the visiting dignitary. I may have over-enunciated my words and spoken too slowly in an effort to be perfectly understood, that I may have sounded foolish. Perhaps not, perhaps so. What's done is done.

Princess Katarina is a wonder. She is from Eurus, like the woman who spit me out of her birth canal. She seems a better person. She is enjoyable to spend time with. Especially for a noble.

Relationship Note on Katarina

A bubbly well of optimism and smiles that relentlessly beats you down with them. Still, Princess Katarina has a thirst for knowledge that I can admire, and has been quite willing to educate me on her own lands and customs when I have asked questions. I would be remiss if I did not help her in these matters, and will keep a careful eye on how she progresses here in Arx.
