Relationship Note on Fiora

You know nothing of Officer Sparte Fatchforth.

I encourage you to speak to him before making more such public comments.

Just for the record:

I am a huge fan of the world not ending any time soon. I LIKE the world.

As I slowly work on letting my anger slow and settle a new realization is creeping upon me.

Who can I honestly trust?

If 300 scholars can work in darkness without much of an outside hint... who else is dark? Have I given my trust where I shouldn't?

Moreover, should any of the peerage wish to challange Whitehawk's right to raise Jyri up, I am sure that the Champion's Gild would be ready to accept both of our coin.

I cannot and will not accept the preposterous claims that it was Jyri and Elora's wedding which finally decided the treasonous actions against Deepwood from House Grayreeve.

I have no doubt that they were looking for reasons to rebel for years now and have decided upon it now with this thin claim that this wedding provoked it.

If Deepwood calls, I will march with them. I will not take such slights without action.

I feel ashamed to be greatful each night that we have received no words of violence from Whitehawk in retribution for the roads now stretching though our lands.

But I am greatful. Our barony is small enough that I have been able to meet some prominent people in each of our towns, and have received correspondence from others though my duties as minister of coin am voice. To lose them to this violence would rip my heart apart.

I hope that if an effort is made to resolve things peacefully that I might be a party to it too perhaps calm my guilt.

If this can not be though, then Bisland will have my dubious skill at the sword and what little I have learned from my time in the Guard, Dame Esoka, and Deepwood as a scout to fight.

May we be Always Soaring.

Deputy Commander Calaudrin messaged me this morning telling me that he got the most unusual of wedding announcements. He wouldn't say who, so I am wildly guessing after skimming names among the White Journals.

Therefore, I'm assuming that it is Duke Arn Telmar and Mistress Adora from the Lowers. Congratulations to the both of them!

I usually try to do what is right.

Most of the time I'm not totally sure what the right thing to do is, so I really hope that people treat me with forebearance and forgive when I do it wrong.

I do not know how I would manage to keep up from day to day without my associations in the Iron Guard. Their company keeps me at and even keel when I feel like absolutely everything else has spun out of control.

I watched little Cyril for a bit of time today. He's walking and does that really adorable babble that I'm sure he considers talking.

Watching him reminds me of why I joined the Iron Guard.

I want to protect him.

I want to protect all of the Cyrils of the world.

I actually sparred for real against others tonight. I've been focusing more on training than simple for-pleasure bouts.

It probably didn't look like I had done any training, but I lasted for several rounds in an 3 on 1 against Silas - which Silas won, because he is amazing, and again with Carmen pointing arrows at me. I couldn't be happier with my performance. I am getting better, it's just a slow and incremental process.

In other news, Sparte beat Silas. I'm not sure how, and I'm fairly sure that Sparte might be suffering from severe inner bleeding, but he beat Silas. I didn't even think that was possible. It puts Sparte in a whole new light for me. I always knew he was amazing with my weird out of nowhere questions but I had no idea he was that stubborn of a fighter. I'm awed that he could take that much punishment.

The Whitehawk craft fair comes together slowly, and steadily. There was a belt maker in Hawkhold I was trying to get to send his goods, but a storm has kept the boat up river. I hope his goods can make it.

I feel blessed beyond belief at the moment.

I have wandered a bit, trying to decide what I ought to do next. I have flitted from one thing to another, but not quite found my home in any. Eventually I realized that my area of research regarding a figure from Eurus was simply not where my passion nor skills laid. I feel guilt mixed with relief to step away from the research. If asked, I will continue to research, so but I would prefer to leave that burden behind.

Now I move forward researching something I feel might be useful. It's a long shot, yes, but one I think it is worth taking.

Moreover, I feel like I've actually set realistic goals for myself. I let myself get distracted by mysteries, parties, and love. I will still enjoy these things, but they will no longer consume me. Instead, I have decided that I will work on becoming a scout. Marquis Rymarr has given me the opportunity to learn under Lady Emily in service to Deepwood, and in the Iron Guard I'll serve under Officer Jyri when the Guard's scouts are called out.

I cannot classify myself as a warrior yet. There is still so much I need to learn, and so many skills I simply do not have. I have a long haul before me. I appreciate that Sir Austen Ferron has offered to help me build up my stamina.

I am blessed.

Last night I sent out some messengers asking for help and bless everything, I got answers. Legate Aureth in particular was helpful and I cannot thank him enough for that help.

My curiosity is afame right now though. I had a conversation with Magpie Grayhope's ... actually I'm not sure what Zavi is to Magpie, but... assistant. We'll go with assistant. And he implied something but I'm not sure what he implied. Magpie and Harper are gone for a while. I really need to corner Zavi and make him tell me. Maybe I could bribe him... but perhaps a bribe doesn't work if you say you're going to try to bribe them.

Then this morning I had an interesting conversation with Sir Austen Ferron. He turned all sorts of red colors and I don't know why.

So many mysteries.

Life is good.

Relationship Note on Gilroy

There are plenty of places in Arx that smell VERY bad. I enjoy those places quite a bit. It's very strange.

Arrows hurt.

It's been a while since my last will update, but that's okay.

All my possessions will go to Whitehawk proper to be broken down and donated to the building up of our Barony, with three exceptions.

All of my silver will go to Harper Ashford, that she might continue her efforts to assist the poor in Arx.

The shadow of griffin wings edged in moonlight oathlands blade will be returned to Marquis Rymarr, with my gratitude for the trust given to me by the Marquis.

The black velvet lion plushie with green eyes will be returned to Lord Michael Bisland with my affection included.

When it comes down to it - not amount of gifts I could give Marquis Rymarr could equal the advice and opportunity he has afforded to me.

I wish what I could do in return was not quite so paltry.

(Though, the painting that Guardsman Jyri made isn't paltry. I didn't mean to belittle it. Gifts are just inadequate to express my gratitude.)
