It's a shame when a party is cancelled, but it is an opportunity to hang around in public places looking absolutely stunning.

I'm not going to let a good outfit go to waste!

Relationship Note on Khanne

You are full of wisdom and grace. Anyone who wants to publicly disagree can fight me.

Yes Arik, even you.

Relationship Note on Lore

I almost feel as if I should apologize to you, but it was worth every single silver. Thank you.

I've only been back in the city for two days, but it's been quite an interesting two days.

I met someone who is certainly going to be my new best friend completely by chance, just by doing something I enjoy doing anyway, drinking whiskey.

Then when I was puttering around my room, I got a letter from a Velenosan Princess, asking me to come to the grotto. I went, and she ended up being a fashion savant who has some very interesting opinions. All in all, it was a nice change from the quiet of Whitehold, it had become a little dreary watching it snow for months on end. I'm very happy to be back in the city.

Spring! That means, to me - temperate weather that will get unbearably hot. Wearing less, going out more, drinking more - find more reasons to go out to parties more - dancing and fighting or fighting while dancing more. All more. Much more. More alcohol, more steel, more reasons to be reminded that spring's here. It's the season that tells us to shake off the dust and get moving - it's the season that demands we rise from our sleep, kick the ashes away and stoke the inner fires of the heart!

Relationship Note on Theron

Perhaps not always wise, but usually more fun. I'd suggest that you embrace being more shameless.

It is easy to spout words all day about how a blade and a pen and a candle should all be used only when appropriate, but much harder to evaluate when you, yourself, are doing so in the moment versus judging others in hindsight.

So I turn my own attention to what I am doing, at this moment and in the next, for the world that I live in. Am I making the most of the limited time on this earth? Am I fighting the battles I need, laughing when I can, reminding those that I love what they mean to me?

Relationship Note on Felicia

There is nothing fair in love or war or birth or death. The world is a wild, beautiful place where things converge to happen without you realizing it. If I had realized that my offering to pair with Princess Cadenza Velenosa had meant that I would end up in the Salacious Seven, I would likely have not to strive not to make such a thing more unfair than it was, fighting against alaricite with steel.

Not that I have any regrets of our Salacious Seven. It was a privilege to fight alongside you all. I was quite amused to be protected by the Lord Theron Mazetti, to have orders from Caspian Wild, to watch Lady Sorrel Wyrmgaurd and Dame Felicia Harrow take down each enemy they faced together. And Prince Luca, what can be said of you, scamp?

Relationship Note on Khanne

One could say that this young girl, let's call her Lianna, actually taught Lhanne quite a lot. You may remember stolen pastries and getting left with all of the blame, but really, I-- she was just teaching her to always know exactly how far to get yourself into someone else's plots. To be aware that sometimes the best laid plans do not always go well, especially when they are made in the middle of the night by two giggling girls. And to most importantly, never let someone else put you in a position where they can leave you with the blame.

All of these lessons and more, Lhanne learned and then surpassed. Anyone who has planned anything with the woman knows that she is thorough, detailed. Anyone who would attempt to lay blame on the woman's feet will be easily found out.

Most importantly, of course, it is now Lhanne that leads, with every confidence in her skills, rather than follows.

And Lianna still dreams of pretty dresses and freedom and the wild high of life and the dangerous edge of a blade or a laugh.

Relationship Note on Galen

So I met Leona’s older brother….she had an older brother and didn’t tell me? Or maybe I didn’t ask if she had other family, I can’t remember. Badass carries a huge axe over a shoulder and seems to talk the talk that he likes battles. Axes, likes to fight, where have I heard that before? Oh yeah, me.

Looking forward to the upcoming battles to see how this prince can dance and if he can keep up.

The smell of white hot steel being forged and shaped by the clanging sound of the hammer as sparks flash like lightning in acrid dark clouds of soot. The sound of hundreds of troops rushing to meet the enemy on the battlefield. The sight of friends and the touch of loved ones when you return from battles and kiss them fiercely. That feeling when your muscles burn hot and sweat beads off your body.

These are a few of my favorite things.

I want music with drums that beat loudly making my body want to dance, fires that roar and crackle, the clink of drinks being poured, the burn of whiskey down my throat and a pair of lips to kiss in the furs. I'd even settle for a battle to cleave someone's head off with my axe.

I hate being bored.

Relationship Note on Leona

For those who are way too invested in the outcome of other people's evenings, I will have you know that Lord Commander Leona Thrax and I attended the Spring Soiree and we both agreed that we had a fabulous time and would not have wished to be there with anyone but each other.

I find that lucky.

Relationship Note on Khanne

A secret admirer? A mystery note? Now /this/ sounds like something worth investigating. You can believe that I am on the case, dearest cousin. I will not rest until I find out who so appreciates my taste in fashion, or until I forget about this for something shinier and newer.

On a more serious note, thank you for attending with me. I am glad that you had a night to have fun, to enjoy yourself. Even if the past haunts us all.

Except Arik, apparently.

Relationship Note on Leona

I expected to resent the Lord Commander of the King's Own, I will freely admit to in white journals. The influence that she has over that which matters most to me-- I expected it to sting more than it does. And that is down to the woman herself. What is there not to enjoy in a woman that carries herself so carefully through life? She is thoughtful, intelligent, and she /cares/. What more could anyone want?

Now, if only she would accompany me to the Spring Soiree.

I'm known for many things, in the city. As the King's former companion, sometimes as a flighty Northern lady, to some--well, I am just known for what has happened to me.

But fighting that duel against the Princess Reese and winning, then going on to defeat Lord Corban and remain as the last person standing: that felt satisfying. I worked hard and long for my skills as a warrior, and to be recognized for a moment for what I have achieved even if it is only victory in a Rite, feels good.

I have started the process of re-decorating my suite in Halfshav Hall. It is a little thing to focus on, but one that I can accomplish quickly and to my satisfaction. Those things sometimes provide so much calm in a world that doesn't often provide it otherwise.

Though, sometimes I stop and think-- Will I still be here in a month? Two? Three? Who can ever see where the future will take us.

Relationship Note on Agnarr

An Ode to Agnarr

A brick wouldn't hit as hard
If I ran face first towards the wall
As Sir Agnarr and his sword
But then, why does he have to be so tall?

Grey eyes might remind one of steel
Though blonde doesn't seem the sun
Scars are always an attractive feature
But with that line, this poem is done

I have a bottle of whiskey and an evening spent on the top of the world. The Spring winds are still cool up there.

Instead of speaking on slavery, I would like to reflect on freedom. I recently referred to myself as a free woman, and asked a man if he were free as well. He spoke of duty, responsibilities, the ties that bind us all. But, that is not what I think of when I think of being /free/.

There is a freedom in passion, in what drives us forward. It may be honor and duty for nobles; it may be putting food on the table for commoners. That drive, however, is a freedom in itself. Being able to throw ourselves forward to right wrongs, to follow our hearts, to keep our minds open. All of this is freedom.

When I find a man that I want to kiss, I kiss him. When I find a tree that should be climbed, I climb it. When I find a fight that needs fighting, I will fight it. A shot of whiskey burns, but I find pleasure in having a drink. A broken heart hurts deeply, but I do not stop myself from feeling.

I am free.
