Relationship Note on Orazio

I have not met the gentlemen in question, but if it would be momentous enough to draw a crowd, I'm sure the cost of admissions could be donated to the charities of their choices to benefit the Compact and its people.

That said, let us all hope that the terms of said will do not have to be carried out for a good while yet.

Relationship Note on Kael

As your aunt, I volunteer to sleep in and help to enjoy Marie's cooking so that you will not be as sorely tempted. These are the sacrifices we make for our loved ones.

What a pleasure to watch so many participants at today's Gauntlet. We will all be touched by the battles we envision in the days to come, warriors and priests, artists and knights, young and old. Some of the performances were breathtaking for their skill. Some were awe inspiring for their spirited perseverance. But all that took part are to be admired.

Running Tally (edited)
The cost of one silk dress
A factor of three years
--Add a 0 to the end-- (Struckthrough)

I can only imagine that there should be a To Be Continued at the end of that list.

In time, we may make a charitable institution of you. May history remember you for your philanthropy.

And let being dizzily spun about be a lesson to you!

Relationship Note on Derovai

My reaction was perfectly reasonable. My diction perhaps less so.

Let this be a lesson to the youngsters. Do not pick up writing implements when you are in your cups.

But my sober reflection remains in league with my less sober response. Please donate to our hostess' charity of choice what you find reasonable, or preferably outlandish, for what amusement my antics provided and for the very minor damages done to me.

We face challenges ahead - may our human failings guide us to better actions to help one another to survive and flourish, before, during, and after any possible hostilities.

Relationship Note on Mae

Mae! She must have been the host lady. It was a very nice hosting. I hope many coins were raised for much soup. How they made pastry wine I do not know. Well done you!

Sir, I think you must write the story of the door. The very forward door.

I am very sorry it was rude.

Relationship Note on Alarissa

Sugar . It will feel like sugar that was thrown on a table with fruit. Next to fruit. A fruit table. With the forward door.

I should probably wait until I am seeing less pink.

Highness,
Do not pop the cork. It is a trap. A vile pink trap.

If my warning comes too late, wish your tasteblossoms a speedy recovery.

Later still.

Reigna's friend Khanne is a very good person to drink with. She tells the best stories.

Relationship Note on Reigna

The Hour: Later

Reigna is not pink. She is a very normal color. She is a very earnest, good, feeling color.

Arranging mar. Arranging Weddings. They do not always go well.

We did very well.

I am delighted to share that some of my things have arrived from Oakhaven at last. Most happily, the blanket is here! Now to find out where it should go next.

Relationship Note on Kael

To be clear, this is meant to be tongue in cheek you silly readers!

I do hope I did not put too much pressure on dear Kael to wed so soon upon his investiture. Hearing him so lovingly describe his competitors at the Armor Run last night, it leaves me to worry that perhaps he ought to have been left to woo and romp for a bit longer. I fear that I may have deprived the world of years worth of love sonnets, romantic poems, and the like. I suppose he shall have to heap them upon his wife instead! Better fortune for us that he is so dotingly fond of her.

Notes to self on ideas to pursue:
Speak to Kael about an idea for training some of the hounds (after discussion with Princess Valencia at the House of Solace)
Try to find an artist with an interest in illuminating texts for some of those interesting books Reigna had about the Hall.
See if someone would adapt said books to entertainments for the masses.
It might prove some small profits and perhaps be used for charitable giving.
Discuss Alis' idea of a book club a bit more. What fun that could be!

Relationship Note on Alis

When I first saw the princess, she was rallying in defense of her brother. I thought her a bit intimidating if perhaps a bit rigid in service of propriety. To know her just a bit better now and see that there is a balance of humor and troublemaking leaves me utterly delighted. I do hope to enjoy more time in Princess Alis' company. I must remember to look into this book club idea of hers, both for the mischief and possibly seeing if it would be a way to increase the general knowledge of lore and wisdom through popularizing the hobby.

Relationship Note on Reigna

Reigna, my dear, if you ever read this I /assure/ you it is meant as a compliment. As I think back on last evening and your defense at the tavern, I cannot help but think of the Hounds that Oakhaven is so renowned for. You were not raised with us, but your ferocity and loyalty was something to behold. I know that protectiveness applies to my nephew and young Aeryn and that gives me great peace of mind. I know that you will stand by them and for them, and since I am most pleased to enjoy the freedoms that Kael's ascension affords me, I want them well protected indeed!

Relationship Note on Reigna

I have glanced at my nephews journal's and seen the most alarming comment that he hopes that his wife's goat will stay away from me. Is this a common fear in Arx? Are the local pets and creatures so poorly trained?

Still, I would be rather surprised by such an occurrence. Young Lady Wyrmsguard when I met her, she has become formidable in her new station. You are somewhat softened by marriage and motherhood, but I believe there is strong oak beneath that surface that will bolster our family in the years to come. A misbehaving pet seems something she would take in hand rather well.

Please note that the scholars may take some time preparing your journal for others to read.
