I find it difficult to find grey in slavery.
It is the death of freedom, the death of self and the death of hope. Even the last choice one might take, to end one's life by their own hand, is taken away.
For who wants to die a slave when the memory of freedom lingers?
No doubt the reasons are good. Few make such dark choices without convincing themselves the good outweighs the bad.
Those who think so often never felt the bite of chains around their neck.

Relationship Note on Lora
Very well. Let it not be said that I cannot be moved by heartfelt pleas.
Henceforth I shall limit the amount of berries I offer.
I shall, however, continue to serve them one at a time, as a proper gift to be cherished and savoured, for it is precisely what they are.

Relationship Note on Lora
Now, while I can certainly assume my part of responsibility where the berries are concerned, I cannot do the same for muffins and other such foods. It would seem more than one person has been offering Miss Wendy the food she so obviously craves, and seemingly lacks from her home.
I believe no increased restraint is necessary, given the innocence of berries in the crimes you so vehemently accuse them of committing. Fruits such as these can only be good for her.

Relationship Note on Lora
Calling Miss Wendy fat is surely an exaggeration, for what harm could there be in offering the good wren some berries every time we per chance meet?
Besides, she spends all her energy flying about and hopping, I'm sure. I would never call you, Lady Lora, a liar. But I must call these words on Miss Wendy's shape slanderous, and believe deserving of an apology to your loyal and devoted companion.

Relationship Note on Aureth
The Legate answered promptly, and very thoroughly, when I sent word to him with my personal inquiries regarding the embargo. His reasons struck me as both following the will and virtues of the Gods, as well as taking into account the necessities of our world and our place in it.
Should others have such questions, or even concerns, I would imagine he would respond with the same ability and care to enlighten.

I've been here for more than a week and I still haven't met most of my family within the city.
Something slowly but surely being rectified.

The strangest thing of having been gone for so long is to remember the names, but not the faces. Many I knew thirteen years ago as children have since become men and women in full. Time moves ever forward, but it is not since my arrival in Arx that I've come to realize the wisdom of that particular saying.

Sister,
To think you became Queen. And to think they killed you within that very same year. I wonder if our brother ever found out who "they" were, before he died himself. If that "they" was of flesh and bone, or simply the common misfortune responsible for so many tragedies. Accident, without guilty party to punish and make us feel better at the loss. Either way, it would seem I've arrived late, both in pride and mourning.
Wherever the Queen of Endings saw fit to take your soul, I hope you find peace and happiness.
Tears in our wake, never at our wake.

Relationship Note on Dominic
Brother,
They say you fell fighting for Compact and our House. Out there, at sea, with your crew of animals that were always so dear to you.
It's too late, by far, to tell you much that went unsaid. But I suppose that's just the way you want it and so it'll remain.
