The relationships I have with my family I strongly value and among them there are the few that I feel I can fully confide in. I don't think there is anything wrong with confiding in someone that shares blood with you, especially when done so in private. I certainly wouldn't call it an extremely dramatic response, especially when one of those family members can draw on many more years of experience than what one currently has.
These last few days have been illuminating.

Relationship Note on Samael
I finally had time to really sit and talk with my Uncle. It was worth every minute to do so. He remains one of my idols.

I've had a lot of time to think recently. I've had time to draw some conclusions.
It will be those who work to bring on the nightmares, the heralds and the abyss, that will ask the most and compliment you for your knowledge while you tell them off it. The First Children, the Weapons, the means of all your secrets; they will ask. However, I realize that even their efforts will be needed to fight against the end of the dream. Our world is built on this concept, and we cannot be rid of it. There needs to be good to recognize what is evil, and there needs to be evil, to recognize what is good. We are all connected. Throw a pebble in the pond and all of us experience the ripples, some ride upon the apex of it and others upon the trough. But our world is thusly changed by the motions. A person should think then, before throwing the pebble.
Have I thought enough? Or shall I throw the pebble...

I'm on the mend. I feel better. I look forward to reconnecting with family and friends. I also hear my brother is back in Arx, high time to say hello I think! The family dinner will at least allow me to do that.

By lending resources and silver, support is given. It may be for some other subtle reason, though support it is, as sure as a signature signs off a contract.
Thank you to those who have given me support in the past, may I continue to find ways to impact Arx and those within it, praying that I can recover enough to do so.
Plushies are still a thing, sadly, they haven't been a priority. I still need an image of Saedrus' kitty. Would someone be so kind as to paint it for me? I'll reward them with support!

Relationship Note on Aurelian
I will have to consider what we spoke about in greater detail.
Life changes. Mine might well change again, if the gods will it and if I make the right choices.
Still, I can be thankful for the fact that our meeting kept me away from the incident in the Grayson manor, however unorthodox I may be, there is always a reason for why things turn out the way they do.

This journal is late. I wanted to be more reflective of my time served in the Shrine of the Thirteenth and working side by side with the Silent Reflections for a week in showing my dedication to the Scholars. They remind me it is more important to listen than it ever is to speak and that my oaths, broken, come with consequences. I shall write more, once I have properly reflected. For now, hours will be spent in silence, contemplating all the oaths that I have sworn and what I will be swearing in the future to come.

I'm caught up on my messengers... for now!
If you didn't get a response from me, it could have been misplaced.
Please don't be offended, I've come back from the north and my desk has been piled high ever since!
(OOC: If you didn't get a response on your missives, I'm sorry! Re-send!)

I received a messenger addressed to Prince Aiden Grayson-Whitehawk ...
Even though I can not marry Silas, I do love the ring to it.
I think I shall address myself as such, going forward, pending my beloved is good with that.
The form of address just made my day.
Thank you my Lord. You know who you are!

I may have become less seen of late, because of work duties that I have now taken on, but I wanted to let all my friends know I do miss you. I shall endeavour to host a dinner soon and invite you all to come join. Sometimes, the days go by so quickly when you're chasing griffons - it's just a saying friends, I've literally spent weeks behind a desk, reading. Congratulations to those of you who've had a significant impact on the world around you. I'll eventually return to that world, once I have managed this paperwork...

You miss so much when you have your nose stuck in a book...
Instead I found a recipe I wish I could forget I ever saw.
Silas and I did burn it after reading, so maybe no one else will ever have to see it.

Princess Reese, my cousin, has entrusted me with the position of Commander to our Grayson Archery units. My cousin has great faith in me. I will endeavour to give this position as much attention as the Officiator of the Menagerie and the House Minister of Upkeep. With the right people beside me, I know I can bring honor to the House, King, and Realm through this service.

How quickly time flies when you have the love of your life at your side to spend the days with.
A year ago we made the promise and our lives were enriched for it.
You've shown me so much of this world and tolerated my mistakes, supporting me throughout them.
I am blessed to have found you. May Limerance allow us a second year together.

I won't. I don't know you well enough and I cannot assume what you've experienced. Excuse my own reactions, I can explain them if need be. If not, then let this be and let it lie as it's been written already. My opinions are my own and people need to eat, I realize that.

There are hunts and then there is butchery and slaughter.
If someone wishes to go on a real hunt, I would be eager to show the world I can do as much.

A hunt of a falcon between a pheasant is one thing. The pheasant has equal opportunity to escape and to avoid the falcon, if it has learned enough and is smart enough to evade. It is a one on one contest between the two birds. Seven out of ten times, the hunt for the falcon does not succeed.
It is like the hunt between a wolf pack and a group of deer. They will pick out the weak one because it is no longer favored by Petrichor. One must die, but the rest of the animals have a chance to flee
In this instance, the birds had no choice. Death behind them, death in front of them, death if they flew.
It is my personal belief that this is not how Petrichor would want a hunt or us to honor a hunt. If he wants men to hunt, then let us hunt upon the earth, stalking through the forests, not... lined up and ready to take aim at anything so panicked by the snarl of snapping jaws they throw themselves into the air...
But then, the rest of you didn't hear their panicked cries as they had no choice but to die.

I understand that people like to brag what they did and boast about it. Though, shouldn't you worry about those agents of our enemies reading every word that you've been writing? They know where one group of first children are at now, they know who has found weapons as plainly as any scholar who reads the journals and as any gossip can listen to the rumors. Guard your knowledge more carefully and you may hold onto it longer!
As for those with weapons, we've discovered one thing: They may end up corrupting you if you use them. I suggest you use caution if you've an ancient artifact.
I will now lament about not being there to find the griffin. That's been my life's work these last six months, trying to locate them... now I'm unsure of what to do or what my purpose is. Maybe I'll go wander into the mountains...

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