Neither a fearless adventuress nor -- and I say this with the utmost affection -- a fragile narcissist, I often feel very lonely amongst those with whom I share blood ties. What a heavy, gray name we have. Natalia, somehow not nearly the silliest of amongst us, dubs me the most ‘Grayson’ Grayson of us all to tease me for my tragedy airs. Yet, to spend but a little time with any… how did Dawn put it? ‘...is to be reminded just how very much alike most of us are.’ I might venture to say not a one believes themselves worthy.

Relationship Note on Tristan

What an unhelpful ass.

Relationship Note on Viktarkim

Viktarkim is going to help me safely navigate the boroughs in the course of my endeavors. I’m not entirely sure how a foreign warrior is going to be less isolating than a Grayson guardsman, but I’m eager to find out.

Incidentally, I find his general manner somewhat reassuring.

Relationship Note on Orazio

Archlector Orazio was gracious enough to allow me to hijack his charity bread and soup line. To tell the truth, it became a matter of pride once the man insinuated several times that the task might be beyond me. I told him that Grayson women had been wielding swords for generations and that surely, I could manage a ladle. ...at which point it and almost immediately it became very clear that I had not wielded a ladle in any capacity let alone to serve anyone with it in the entirety of my existence. It was hysterical.


Of course, now I’m waiting patiently for a certain document from the priest which may help me in my own charitable endeavors. It's to be a list of homes deemed unsuitable by the Church for rehoming displaced children.

Relationship Note on Cicero

Call me jaded but I don’t know many princes who would let an unwashed beggar-child ride on their shoulders.

...am I to suppose that was for my benefit?

I’ve purchased a horse. A gelding. Very beautiful golden creature and gentle of demeanor. I don’t ride. It has never interested me and as it so happens, he cannot be ridden. The two of us crossed paths on one of my routine visits to a little plebeian boy whom I organized a new home for after the Tragedy in the lower boroughs. Although it has been several years, (My has he grown!) displaced children have a tendency to disappear if no one is keeping out a watchful eye. I know that too well.


At any rate, the poor thing was scheduled to be put out of his misery due to injury. (The horse, not the boy!) I happen to have it on the best authority that the issue can be remedied with time and patience. I’ve taken to calling him my little Pinenut.

Relationship Note on Viktarkim

Even after suffering (what I can only assume was) a very blunt beating between the legs, it baffles me that a man will still find reason to posture. Even when he has been rendered nearly incapable of taking even a single unassisted step forward, he must be ever aware of his pride. There is no indignity in asking for help when help is needed.

Naive but lovely both inside and out.

Relationship Note on Gareth

It cannot be said that where his body did crumble, his mind and own personhood did not rise to meet the challenge. I consider him to be a man of utmost character, forged by his own trials and come out the better for them.


Would that so many others returning from battle, broken-winged, should have the same opportunities for rehabilitation as he. Must look into.
