My birthday was this week, it was quiet and sweet, I enjoyed it. My brother and my darling niece have been here less then a week and we've already butt heads. I wonder if we will out grow these squabbles. So much news and so many questions this week, it's a small wonder I feel restless. I crave to feel the breeze and hear the crack of canvas as winds fill my sails again.

May your hopes find safe harbors.

Relationship Note on Artorius

I love my brother. Deep to my bones, I do. But we still fight like children when pushed, maybe we are too much alike?

Relationship Note on Anze

He's a giant northern puppy. Thoughtful in a way I didn't expect, but then, isn't that always the case when you look past the selves we project? I think he makes a good balance for my fierce cousin, if only he would remember his shirt more often.

Word is the King is finally awake. I can only pray this is a good sign for all our fates and that the darkness truly is being pushed back. Meanwhile, I continue to be ill at ease surrounded by so many walls and crave more time on the waves like a physical ache. I am happy to slowly make more friends in the other houses and among those of other classes, but it would be a lie to say I don't miss Southport's warmth right now.

New rule, don't bargain tired. I really could have gotten more, I bet. Slowly I am meeting more people, I'm grateful for this moment of calm to reflect and prepare. There are likely too many parties, but that could just be my own taste and personal horror for dancing. As much as I dislike riding, I will ride out for a mission before braving a dance floor any day. Is that dreadful of me?

Dinner was grand. I do love spending time with my family. When we are together, I can still see the children we were, before so many cares and responsibility were thrust on our shoulders. I don't know what the future will bring, but if I can keep the light on a little longer I hope it will help keep mine safe through the war.

May your hopes find safe harbor.

Relationship Note on Isolde

Such a rare beauty and a true friend. I know I can call on her when my need is great and she will be here for me. I will endeavor to do the same for her always. I envy her grace, perhaps I will spend more time around her so I might learn to carry myself with poise as she does.

Caelis, note to self. Stop biting off more than you can chew. You ridiculous girl. Stick to boats and wandering the wilderness. Parties are simply overwhelmingly foreign to me. I will take my beating in the ring over a night in a gown anytime.

Relationship Note on Luca

That's two drinks he owes me. If our paths continue to cross this way I may start keeping score in bottles instead.

Relationship Note on Hadrian

I love you so dearly cousin. I am always happy to talk, for what ever reason-over any number of topics. He's so unlike the rest of us, his company is always a welcome change and refreshing.

I will get better. I was pleased with how I fared in the Melee, but I will continue to improve. All in at it proved a fun, if painful day. Still, the best lessons are etched in our skin and today I learned many. My combatants were my teachers and it was a privilege to cross blades with so many fine warriors in Arx. I don't think I shall try Prince's Luca's method of defense any time soon however.

Relationship Note on Orazio

I had thought he was a scary man, but he is kind, and wise. I deeply enjoyed getting the chance to talk to him. His little bird was especially endearing, if loud. I was struck by his willingness to listen and guide me, I have always been fond of the Saiks, but Legate Orazio is a special soul.

My feet have never felt surer on their path. It is good to slow down and arrange everything that seems to be happening. For a simple sailor there is much to comprehend. For the first time since coming to the city I feel sure, settled a little. There have been so many ups and a few downs, Mangata knows I am used to a deck rising and falling, less so the events of my life in a few mere weeks. Let winter come.

Relationship Note on Costas

His crew my be rowdy, and he might be uncommon as captains go, but Costas is a true, if crass and peculiar man. It was a privilege to sail with him and fight at his side.

It was good to feel the salt spray again, the roll of Her waves under my feet. I flew on the waves briefly and it was filled with glory. For all that we learned, and all that we accomplished, we all made it home.

Our Lady, Star of the Sea, Azure Mother, Pearl of Grace,
Protect your sons and daughters who travel on the waters,
Protect your sons and daughters who travel ahead of the winds.

Relationship Note on Hadrian

The brightest of us. He's got such a light spirit and welcoming presence. He might not be the chattiest, but he makes his words count for something. I admire his strength and love for his family. I may permit more hugs, but only because he's the Duke.

Pull me down into your undertow.
I can feel your strength gnawing at my bones.
Crash over me, drag me low.
Whisper your needs to me in ebbing tones.

Promise your strength, fill my sails.
I'll be your anchor, my nightingale.

I visited the shrine to Mangata again. The usual calm and serenity I found solace in before was not present sadly on this visit. All the same, I shall continue to pay my respects to Mangata every day that I can, it is too lovely a place not to make a habit of visiting. While my meditation and prayer were cut short, I did resolve to practice my skill at arms more. I have many things to learn still.

May your hopes find safe harbors.

Family dinner was wonderful, to see so many lively faces and bright spirits was warming. Being among kin with the darkness on the horizon is just the remedy I needed to keep my spirits bolstered. I am saddened by the deaths of those who fought with my family and did not return, but it inspires us all to ensure those deaths do not go unanswered by our hands. There is much to consider and prepare for.

Visited the Shrine again today to collect my thoughts and reflect on my purpose here in Arx. I want to serve my family, I'm troubled by the news I've heard and the things that have been happening. I always wanted some grand fairytale adventure, and it seems I may get one, all Arx will.
Mangata shelter these people with your groves and strength, guide us on your waves, and heal our spirit for surely darker days are coming before the peace breaks. Let us weather the tempest and shelter the landsmen as you love and care for your sailors.

May your hopes find safe harbors.
