Relationship Note on Kima
I have been training with the Baroness Kima Saik.
Her skill is unmatched that I have seen - and I am learning than there is more finesse to be found than battering pirates and Shav'arvani around wheat.
Bruises carry the weight of wisdom.

Relationship Note on Margot
So far have we come since being wards under Donrai Thrax's cold, watchful gaze.
So much punishment have we endured. Our families decimated and our lives subsumed for others' purposes.
And now, she takes the reins of Tyde.
I have only my lament.
But my regret is a deep, deep thing, and as filled with resolve as the Lament is filled with ranks upon ranks of marines. The Reaper sits in the harbor, a harbinger of things to come.
Dark horizons, and dark tides. - Let them bring what they will.

Relationship Note on Ianthe
I have personally offered Ianthe, the woman that Maximilian is "acquainted" with, my protection. I believe she will be targetted by things beyond, things which are hostile to our people in the Saffron Chain and the Mourning Isles.
The Lament does not have much to offer, but it does have me.

dan Hellespont's report:
-------------------------
Many ships cast off during the fighting, fearing boarding and scuttling or plunder. No parties of Iron Guardsmen were any where near the docks. A ship, flying no flag, was seen travelling south. Smuggler, probably, but we engaged no pursuit and kept watch for late departures. No other news of note.

I remember him from my time as a ward in Maelstrom.
He has...he remembers the Lament, as well, and the Weeping Isle. My father's keep.

Thirteen.
Thirteen gods, thirteen sacrifices. I have killed - put down, a dozen of Thrax men, pirates, their minds poisoned. In one single battle - a slaughter. The crews, put to death, and their boats scuttled.
My sword a cut down a drop in the tide of blood we saw spilled. Agents of these Stewards, of those Houses, of whomever we face - the Silence, murdered hundreds and left as many more mindless. Chattel to be executed.
And these bickerers bemoan the loss of a family member, of thirteen men and women? Against the chance of stopping a such greater toll? It is a grain of sand against an ocean. Two crossmarks on a page. The number of a small fishing family.
Death is what awaits us all - all we walk is our journey to the place behind the mirror.
My sisters, my brothers - died upon crosses, sacrificed for vengeance and greed by the Tydes.
I suppose they should feel lucky that there are at least thirteen who think there is aught worth saving in the Compact...

I have begun to suspect that someone has been rifling through my possessions.
This tome had been turned to a different page, and my crow's feather page mark had been moved.
The thralls know not to touch it.
Is someone looking at my notes?

We'll see what Hellespont finds.
If there's any luck, it'll be another devastated settlement. We'll trace the attacks back to their source.

Relationship Note on Abbas
Sailed upon the salt with Prince Abbas. One is hard pressed to find a swifter commander of warships.
Even the Reaper would have its speed challenged by his ships, and mine only a single craft, his a coordinated squadron.
In battle he is bloodthirsty, and the decks were awash with the blood of the taken.

Count Darkwater had a room decorated for me - the suite of Lament, fitting in with the decor by mirroring with my keep on the Isle of Lacrimus.
...but it's decorated.
...I hate decorations.
I will have to strip it. All I need is a desk and a chest. This ridiculous four-poster darkwood monstrosity can go to firewood. Give me a pallet, so that I can feel the ache of the stone.

Count Maximilian is joyful, and I am sorrow. I had no regrets answering his call, though my mind is ill at ease in this poisonous city. Yet I go where asked, and it is he I follow.

Today is the last day aboard the Reaper. Tomorrow we arrive north of Arx, and then a days walk southward to the city to meet my cousin.
I won't have the black sails be seen. The vessel and is best served as the silent wind.
It's cold, and there is nothing warm awaiting me in Arx.
