He really does need to be more careful, as people will start to believe he has a sense of humor.

Relationship Note on Rymarr
I have only met Marquis Rymarr Deepwood briefly. He seems to wear formality like armor and I found that it both made him feel distant and comforting at the same time. I hope he might become a friend in time, but for now, there is something reassuring about the heft of his title and the gravitas of his welcome, some measuring stick for the growth of trust and the rewards of service.

Relationship Note on Rymarr
The former Lord Commander of the King's Own is now a Marquis. The lad's done well for himself. I met him, and he was rather helpful. And yet, I couldn't help but wonder. Is he happy? Does he feel fulfilled? It's a silly thing to wonder, truth be told, and none of my damned business really. At least he has the sense to treat his horse right. That should keep him from going around getting himself stupidly broken up.

He probably won't read this. He doesn't strike me as the type to indulge in gossip. Either way, can I just say...
... no. No, I can't. Wouldn't be appropriate. I promised I wouldn't. And he's a little terrifying.

Relationship Note on Rymarr
When I was a girl, tales of knights were distant, foreign things. Legends from a world of which I was not a part. Grim, towering warriors on horseback, shining and stoic and untouchable. Most knights I've met in life do not live up to this image. I certainly do not, and struggle with how I feel about my own knighthood still, on many days. But the Marquis of Deepwood is a man who matches the picture of a knight I held in my head a girl. I am honored to know him, and that I can seek his counsel on matters of swordsmanship and command. Most importantly, he treats Marquessa Samantha well.

Relationship Note on Rymarr
It's my understanding that Marquis Rymarr is attempting to spread false rumors that he was not, in fact, giddy at his wedding.
As the man standing closest to him while he gave his vows, I will stake my honor on his giddiness.
But he's welcome to call for a champion if he likes.

Relationship Note on Rymarr
I am going to marry him, and I am going to marry him soon.
I have the good fortune to be the mistress of my own destiny when it comes to marriage. In the nobility is an arrangement of advantage for each side, and while loving the person you are going to marry is fortunate, or falling in love with someone who has the type of advantages that suit, is exceedingly fortunate, simply marrying for love is virtually unheard of. I am very fortunate to have fallen in love with a man who brings honor and expertise in areas that I have less experience in, and ties to another House of excellent repute. This marriage satisfies the obligations and expectations of being part of the nobility.
Really though, the fact that I love him is first and foremost to me, and if that makes me silly, so be it. I do not believe that marriage will be easy, but I believe that if it is true and lasting, there will be a commitment to each other and at the very center of that commitment is compromise. There will be moments where we will make each other grit our teeth, and there will be moments where all we can see is each other, and there will be times that neither of us will be entirely happy with the conclusion or compromise that is made, but the point of it is we are in it together.
i think if I continue, this entry will devolve into a plethora of girlish sentiment of overly romantic notions.
Have I mentioned his eyes are dreamy?

Steadfast. That is what I think when I think of Lord Rymarr Lyonesse. Though he has left the his calling in the King's Own, the Oathlands are lucky to have on their favorite sons back. This is a time when we can use every blade we can get.
I know he feels a bit lost now, but a knight of his caliber will find his path. I hope I can help him do so.

Fought with the skilful Sir Lyonesse at the gates- he lent me Calamity, which I brought to the Shav'arvani. And through it - my first engagement with a Bringer - which ended poorly for it.

I will miss the Lord Commander, as I missed my right-hand man when he was my First Captain. He goes off to follow other paths though, and those lead him away from the King's Own. He has served with honor and distinction, and while I will miss serving with him, I know this is better for him and also for the King. Yesterday he saved the King. Today he makes his way out of Crownguard tower for the last time. Even as I turn my attention to the leadership of the King's Own, I wish him well.

Relationship Note on Rymarr
For all that I never expected to be where I am, for all that I never wanted to be singled out for an act that I deemed necessary and not heroic, for all that I kicked and screamed during those tedious lessons of etiquette and for all the times I fell off that blasted horse in full steel armor... no man has ever held my respect the way this man can. He understands duty, he lives it, he breathes it, he embodies it. He is not some man playing at the game of responsibility, he is not a child pretending to be something he is not. He is a stalwart champion of his king, and a man I am proud to call my mentor.
And you know, damn well as I do, that you can catch an assassin behind a door if you open it hard enough. They make a lovely squishing sound if you hit it -just- right.

It's not that your heart is in the wrong place, it's not that you don't try to do right, it's how you do it all. Brother, we are not the type to look down on others or act as if we have no cares but for ourselves. Our jokes set us apart. Our teasing kept us together. Our shared pain brought us close. But now, our jokes only make you act like you've been slighted. Our teases sound like insults. Our pain, you only care for your own.
You hurt our relationship. Not because you insulted us, not because we feel "wronged," but because you act like we are no longer family. You act as if we are some... zombie-like cult of people who simply shamble through things on manners and grace. That is for the public, not for the family.

It seem some Inquisitorial notes found their way into one of Alistair's white journals. Or perhaps he always writes in such a tone.

There is a certain character of emotion to stalking round the circle, eyeing another with weapons drawn. The prelude to struggle. An anticipation. Intense scrutiny from both sides, but from behind the cover of indifference, for to betray thought is to give advantage. The calm before the elation of battle.
Why is it that I feel all of these things when this man and I stare at one another over a dinner table?

My older brother. You know, it still feels like just yesterday when he took up the mantle of a Crownsworn. I don't know about everyone else, but it was a bit of a shock for me. I suppose I just expected him to be the head of the House. Instead, he decided to go off on his own path and leave us behind. I think that's the only reason it really bothers me -- it feels a bit like he left us all.
Either way I'm quite proud of him. He still makes me smile, and I'm glad he's not above playing a prank now and again even on the Marquessa (dear Mur). He pulled on her braid the other day, it made me smile. I also found out that he's talkin' to the ladies! Way to go! I mean, who knows if it's really in /that/ way, but that's not really the point. The point is that he's still living, he's not cloistering himself away now that he's shouldered that mantle. Above all else though:
I'm still proud of him.

How should I title this journal entry?
"I met the Lord Commander of the King's Own today!"
One might argue that is a proper title, if overly dramatic. He is just a man... And yet the Lord Commander is most definitely a very valiant person of excellent character. Formal to the point of excess, perhaps. It inspires people to laud his name subconsciously.
You see, the problem is that I could not truly relax around him. You can have Gabriel, and the room stiffens up. But after two decades of that, it is just like putting on another layer of formal clothing, and you move beyond it. But then you add the Lord Commander to the mix, and it is as if any ordinary word simply won't do anymore. The situation becomes truly stifling; and as a result, I can quite understand the tense expression I saw on a certain someone when they walked in on our discussion.
How is one supposed to relax the atmosphere with two of these goliaths playing a tug of war over the backs of everyone sitting in the room? I think it will be very difficult, and I can only hope not to share the same room as the two of them in the very nearby future.
"Rymarr." I can write the name, but get out and onto my lips? Around the man I met today, that is probably impossible, even though I wish I could take that liberty as easily as I could with others. As such, I arduously hope the Lord Commander stays employed for quite some time longer.
If nothing else, it will save me the thinking up of journal titles that embody the 'official aura' he carries with him. Because honestly, I would rather not have my journal read like a piece of stiff propaganda. There's no doubt other journals you can read for that.
