Relationship Note on Sylvie
Such a different person from her sister-in-law, it seems. I cannot deny that there is something compelling about her, but perhaps it is only that we are so different as well.

Relationship Note on Cara
The things you tell me disturb me deeper than I would care to admit. It must be connected, but I don't yet know how.

I cannot say for sure that I'm glad to be back in the city, but I am back and it is somehow a relief. It worries me while I'm away to think my family needs protecting from something of which I do not yet know how to protect them.

As the days wear on I find myself missing home.
I should make some time to get outside the walls. Princess Ophelia has been kind enough to invite me, and I understand Princess Loucia is an explorer of some renown.
Hopefully I will be able to make the time.

Relationship Note on Acacia
It is rare to meet anyone in the Shrine of the Lost.
So rare, in fact, that one is not sure what to do when someone else arrives. In any case, I was quite fortunate to have met Mistress Culler. We had a thought-provoking conversation on the topic of the Shrine and what it might mean. No conclusions were drawn, but I think interesting questions were asked.
Best of all, she owes me a brandy. These are the sort of friends one needs when far from home.

Relationship Note on Barric
Now here is a man who looks the part!
The Sword of Bastion would be immediately recongizable at a hundred yards. I was fortunate enough to make conversation at much shorter range. Although we did not have much time, it is plain to me that he is canny and talented.
More importantly, we share interests in the well-being of the citizenry. I am glad to have made his acquaintance.

Relationship Note on Reese
I had the opportunity to meet this lovely young Grayson princess only recently.
While she carries herself with all the presence and bearing of a noblewomen, one cannot help but notice there is something more to her. I almost suspect her gaggle of ladies-in-waiting is a bit of a ruse. She is clever and witty, and I was fortunate to have spent the time with her.
Unfortunately I had to correct a tall tale she had heard of my hunting exploits. Added two bears and a blindfold to her telling. An entirely believable embellishment, if I do say so myself.

Relationship Note on Esera
I met the Archduchess only briefly, as our meeting was unfortunately cut short.
She lives up to her formidable reputation, there can be no doubt. We discussed some harmless topics, but even I could see that she has the sharpest sort of mind.
Who is the hunter, and who the Fox?

Relationship Note on Olivia
My sister is in the city! I spotted her today on the Grayson grounds. Already she is pulling up weeds and cataloguing them.
I am hopeful that she may assist Lady Grayson with the mysterious ailment of the King. More importantly, it is good to see her again.
We miss the friendly faces of home.

Relationship Note on Sudara
Met a scholar of history today. A Pravus, no less. Only in the capital.
Not the scheming dowager I had expected. She actually seemed quite conscientious.

Relationship Note on Larissa
Brilliant, witty, beautiful, and whip-smart.
Capable of both frivolity and gravity, her kind words put a bounce back into my steps. This one is dangerous. Fortunately she seems to be on my side.

Relationship Note on Laric
So, I met an Inquisitor today in the Grayson courtyard gardens.
Strange, but aren't they all. This one managed to sneak a few morbid remarks into an otherwise normal conversation. There is something about him though. Something that tells me he is good at his job. Not sure I want to know any more than that.

Well. I'm back in Arx.
One can't help but be amazed at the place. What man has wrought: a million stones stacked by a million hands. How many masons? How many laborers? Only a fool would fail to be impressed.
I still hate it here. Already the wood calls to me. I would trade a dozen capitals for one week back in the Ashford forests. Still, there is business to be done, and I'd best be at it. Duty calls.
