Relationship Note on Calaudrin

I'll die before I call you 'Uncle Cal'.

I'll call you by your given name until that time comes, Deputy Commander Calbert.

Relationship Note on Ida

I need to remember to write a letter to you so that I may ask for more lessons in fisticuffs.

Relationship Note on Jyri

I'll only tell him one of those things and even then with a slight adjustment to the phrasing.

Rarely is it not helpful to have a horse nearby. Unless you're actively hunting something that prefers the meat of a horse. Then it's not as useful to have a horse nearby.

I have no need of 'I told you so' or 'Nothing is ever that easy'. The solutions to complicated or dangerous things are rarely simple, but there are frequently easy answers to basic problems. We live, we learn.

Layne has arrived. Marquessa Samantha Deepwood his mother. Myself his father. Named for personal heroes.

The best joke I've heard so far is the notion of sending alcohol as a gift. To us. To me. If it weren't an amusing joke, I'd think the people suggesting it didn't know me at all.

Relationship Note on Grady

When unforeseen circumstances arose, Lord Grady faced the unexpected on my behalf. For that that I am thankful and in profound appreciation of and for his initiative.

I know just how to reward those traits.

We must learn to bend.

No matter how rigid, strong, or determined we are to remain immobile.

Sometimes we simply need to bend.

No matter how much we want to refuse to change...

Relationship Note on Kenna

She sent me a cookie during my vigil at the Seawatch Gate. That was given to a young child in need.
After that she sent me a sandwich of egg, cheese, and bacon. I shared that with another youth. I did eat a bite of it, as promised.

If I tell her I give food away that she sends, she then sends me more food.

I may have to station myself at the Seawatch Gate with ink, quill, and parchment. Lady Kenna Whitehawk may very well feed the southern Seawatch for a day, if I can scratch enough hasty notes. I may need to get Patsy a bag to carry them in. Bulk letter delivery will be much more efficient.

Relationship Note on Ailith

I consider myself a knight, first and foremost. I nearly lapsed in that duty. I came quite close in allowing my thirst for adventure, battle, and more to cloud my judgment. I nearly failed to do what was right. When someone who was in need required my aid, I very nearly allowed my desire to mete out justice to overcome my senses. I very nearly left someone who needed me in a desperate moment, to fend for themselves. All so that I may chase valor and glory. I very nearly failed myself and others as a knight.

It is Seraph Ailith that I have to thank for guiding me to the proper path. In the moment where I may have very nearly stepped away from my own nature in order to pursue glory, Seraph Ailith was there to silently coach me back to the proper path. To aid someone who needed me, in that exact moment for their life could have very well depended upon it. I am happy to say that with Seraph Ailith's assistance, I stayed to the path and did what was right, over what would bring my name fame or appease my desire to engage with an enemy in battle.

Sometimes as a knight we must be the shield that refuses to move, so that those behind it may survive. It isn't all valiant charges and climatic moments of heroism. Sometimes it's rooting oneself in place, refusing to budge, and weathering the storm so that another may be protected from it. Sometimes one must stand in the back and watch their friends, allies, or even enemies-turned-allies-of-convenience throw themselves into the fray. Sometimes you must attend to your duty away from the front line, so that those in the front can rest assured that their backs are safe. It may not be what one favors, likes, enjoys, or finds thrilling. A necessity of battle sometimes, still.

Had I just gone charging off foolishly in pursuit of valor? I think I would have been much more disappointed in myself today. I think that others would have been even more disappointed in me. Had the one I needed to stand before died? Then I know that this entry would have been drastically different in tone and purpose. Injuries were suffered, but lives remain. For the sake of another? I'm thankful to have had the opportunity to step forward to fulfill that need. Whether a prayer was made or not, a knight appeared.

Thank you Seraph Ailith for reminding me of this in a heated moment. Without a single word spoken, you reminded me that sometimes a victory can not be the only pursuit. One must take stock of all of the consequences of that victory. A victory gained through extreme consequences is pyrrhic and often not worth the human lives spent to attain it.

Relationship Note on Petal

Very well. The apology isn't necessary. Learn. Grow. Improve. That is how you can make amends.

Mistakes happen. I just want to make sure you get your property back.

You should also consider a new bundle of arrows with 'Sorry' carved into the shafts.

I'm going to need a board, quite a few pins, and a lot of yarn.

I'll solve this mystery.

Relationship Note on Calaudrin

I do hope that Calvin will be joining me to pray for plenty at the Shrine of Petrichor, soon.

We won’t call it superstition, but we shall call it prudence.

I'm mildly concerned that you're only mildly concerned about the notion of him starving to death.

An Ode to Omega
------------------

You were massive and you were my friend
Knocked down doors better than my other friend Felicia
Our friendship was short-lived and doomed to end
Thankfully you never had to worry about alopecia
An honor it was to stand in support
Until I could feel the semblance of life fade
I'm truly afraid that this ode will fall short
I regret that I couldn't have stayed
I also regret that I didn't just hire a damn poet to write this
At least I gave it try
It's becoming pure rubbish
Stick to what you're good at, Ry.

Relationship Note on Calaudrin

Calm down, Deputy Commander Cardinal. I have it on good authority that some homeless guy with brain fever who we got along just fine without for a really long time, made it so that fate and destiny aren't a thing. You're safe from any such crazed ramblings or imaginary futures.

In the event of my death, I leave Deputy Commander Candelabra the following:

All of my completed paperwork. You're welcome.

My boots. The value of a sturdy, but comfortable pair of boots often goes unacknowledged within the Iron Guard on a daily basis.

My locket. It'll be important, trust me.

My shelled thing. Sir Celeritous Karl Shellsworth III will need someone to look after him. He can deliver any letters that you don't mind being delivered rather late.

My family. Convince my wife to marry you, aid in raising my platoon of children, wear my armor, begin adopting my mannerisms. Become me. Refer to yourself as 'The Rymarr' at all times.

Relationship Note on Esoka

One of the bravest people that I know. On or off the battlefield. From big, terrible beasties that nearly kill everyone, to fighting insurmountable odds at the revered Seawatch Gate, to pie that I made. Her courage has no limits.

Also, I think she may not have a sense of taste. This may require testing.
