Relationship Note on Marian
Perhaps if all of our esteemed nobles behaved nobly, they wouldn't need to be called out.
It's very frustrating for a commoner, who has been told for much of her life that she's worthless and her voice is not to be heard, to see those that she is commanded to look up to and respect act like children.

I did gift you a tree for your birthday, but I promise that wasn't a commentary on your age!

Relationship Note on Marian
One of the most amazing matches I have ever fought, it was an honor and a pleasure to be part of. Not only did she fight like the bear of her House but she was kind enough to instruct as she did so. I have nothing but praise and gratitude for her and she will be in my own prayers as well.

Relationship Note on Marian
For all that she has done for House Redrain and countless others across the city, never mind for me personally, my recording of how grateful I am for Princess Marian is perhaps quite overdue. She is genuinely one of the most selfless people I know who is always willing to teach those who wish to better themselves. It does not seem to matter if those may be in pursuits of the martial - of which she is deservedly renown - or otherwise. Marian cares deeply for people and their circumstances, her heart truly with them whether they be Redrain or not. I've had the honor to accompany her on a few endeavors and see this for myself. For a woman who has known such great tragedies in her time, who might have let her heart be hardened by them, she instead embraces life all the more, I think. Though, perhaps, I get a bit overly poetic and do not mean to be. I think we would be hard-pressed to find someone to equal her knowledge, efficiency, and expertise as a War Chief. Her support of me has been unwavering, whether with advise or just a kind word offering to be there if I might need her, and I'm so grateful to call her both family and friend.

That's not cynical! It'd actually be heretical to believe in fate. It doesn't exist! That's exactly the gift Skald gave us.

Relationship Note on Marian
I take back every negative thing I have ever said about Marian. Ever. She's not bossy or scary and I wouldn't trade her away for all the silver in the world. She's perfect. She's the most wonderful older sister one could possibly have. I promise I'll never tell another embarrassing story about her ever again. At least for a year.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to sit here on this GIANT THRONE OF HORSESHOES she had made for me and just bask in the love.
"We make our own destiny, our own luck."
I love you, sister.

Marian,
Oh I will definitely remind you then. If you have any on Marius, that would be a lovely bonus too!
This promises to be fun.

Relationship Note on Marian
Let me tell you a story, Scholar, about the one and only time I have seen my sister blush.
She was 12, I think, and his name was Sir Davin. He was the most glorious of wandering knights, with hair of tawny perfection and a body you'd have had to be dead not to appreciate.
Someone (I really couldn't say who it was that would do such a thing) let slip that the beautiful Sir Davin bathed entirely naked in the river running just outside Greenhaven at the same time every morning. That same someone (again, identity unknown to me) was on hand the very next morning to catch Marian Greenmarch in the underbrush along the river, and she wasn't looking for grubs, I'll tell you that much!
Someone (horrible person) thought it might be prudent to alert the unsuspecting paragon, Sir Davin, of Marian's presence by tossing large rocks at the brush.
Scholar, when she stumbled out of those bushes to confront the naked knight, her cheeks were brighter than her hair. It was glorious. Well worth the beating someone got later that day for being the worst little sister ever to walk the land.

I am not looking forward to little humans running around either. Henrik and Torstein get to deal with them. Henrik is already decorating one of the spare rooms for little people who will like the touching. Told him He is sleeping in the room with the spawn.

You don't actually know me or the long history I have with Magpie Grayhope. You also clearly don't grasp some of the potential implications of this poor joke for Master Fatchworth and the institution he represents as an officer.
But by all means, continue to speak as if you do.

Relationship Note on Marian
Princess Marian, Sword of Farhaven, Warlord of the Northlands,
I confess that I was afraid, when I first heard of the task ahead of us. Horses do not do well with the sea and there was the possibility the enemy would make deployment of things that Lord Tobias Telmar cautioned us about at the Aerie Peak.
And yet, your plan worked to defend the Northlands from the attacks of an impious and evil enemy.
We may have lost many that day, including Lady Eirlys Greenmarch, and we may have many more wounded than we may care to have, but we still carried the day. Under your direction, and your talent at arms.
You fought true to the words of your House, and truer still to the words of the Great House of the Oathlands. As so many of my cousins still think of you as their sister, so will I say and I believe my wife, Demura, will agree: you are welcome in Lyon's Redoubt at any time you wish, for as long as you wish, and we would be honored to have you teach lessons to young knights-to-be at our Academy. You would be received as kith and kin that you undoubtedly are, for we are now brethren-in-arms.
House Redrain ought to take pride: though you are not born of them, they have an ever steadfast defender and champion in their ranks, a second coming of Queen Valeria herself.
Sincerely,
Marquis Jacque Lyonesse,
Marquis-Consort of Lyon's Redoubt
Knight of the West

Highness, these are good words. Balance is key. One of the foremost precepts of Tehom is balance - to not be overruled by virtue or vice, but to hold both equal and use them to accomplish one's good ends.

I become more convinced as each day passes that as Nia and Ellara grow older, they will together become an unstoppable force of destr... good, in the world. As your Nia begins eyeballing daggers, Ellara is enamored of armor. Now that she is walking, she has taken to sneaking up to the table where Edain works and swiping his helmet so she can plop it on top of her head and start running around evading those who try to catch her before she hurts herself. I swear it covers at least half of her, but she is undeterred!
But it's also seriously adorable. She already shouts a garbled battlecry as soon as she gets it on and starts racing.

Today has been a day to remember - for more than a few reasons. The Lady Marian is a force unto herself and I feel like we bonded over the trial that was the obstacle course. I may have caught a cold for that new friendship but I consider it well worth it.
