Relationship Note on Tanith

Not the worst party I've been to. Shame about the ending, but I guess it's inevitable in certain company.

Congratulations, I guess.

Relationship Note on Jael

Sometimes even now, Jael and myself are prone to moments of sibling bickering. But there's also many more moments where she knows my mind as well as I do and there's a comfort to that. I've never for a moment regretted the decision to bring her on as a Voice for our house.

I have not been writing as much lately. Too much of my time has been spent in research and frustration. This is not to say I've been shirking at duties, but rather that any time for myself has been a grueling slog through text after text, hoping to find something that's relevant to the topic. I can only stand so many allusions in one day; I don't know how the lad can be happy going through so many treatises, let alone keep track of them all, but he actually said to me that it was fun for him. I can't judge a young man for doing what he wants.

Still, I suppose complaints are something I should not be putting to paper. It's good to be able to repay others for their aid. While I don't mind a bit of charity myself, it leaves me feeling as though it should be a favor returned. Perhaps that's my father's influence; merchants typically don't give out something for free, but rather expect payment for their goods. I think it was that as well as knighthood that makes me feel this need.

I will have to think on that, once I have finished this current project.

Language is not a servant of perception. It -is- perception, giving form and shape to ideas.

What a party. I am tired.

Chandelier swinging!

Orphans!

Worms! Shoes!

It was fantastic.

Relationship Note on Avary

Having finished reading Killian's white journals, I've turned next to Avary's - as you know, scholar.

It's interesting to read her thoughts written upon vellum when I haven't had the faintest idea of what might be going on in her mind during my entire life. She's been an impassive, silent force - and, though she is the Archlector of the Sentinel, I haven't felt myself to be under her watchful gaze at all; I've felt, rather, so distant, so hidden from her view that it's as if I didn't even exist to her at all. But, that's what she wanted, isn't it?

She has a brilliant mind, of course; and, if it is that to which I am compared, when others say I'm like her, then I'm honestly humbled and honored. Though, I'm more certain it has to do with the fact that they simply don't know me well.

From day to day there are a great many things we encounter, view, sense, review, and the rest.

Thus it becomes quite frustrating when there is something that feels important or even critical in the moment that you've experienced it. That you tell yourself not to forget to write about later. Whether that'll be in the pages in the whites or blacks.

Then by the time you reach a journal? You've forgotten what you'd intended to write about. I'm clearly not utilizing Luigi to my greatest capacity, but can he really take on more duties? Probably not. Maybe it's time to call up Mario from perusing old tomes and the like.

Until someone pointed it out to me just the other day, I never knew that Whitehawks (white hawks) and Malvici (gold hawks) were both Houses of hawks.

Meanwhile, my protege Goodwoman Natalia Whisper has been incredibly helpful with military matters, and I am now pleased to point out my latest position as an Academy-of-War mentor. Please feel free to reach out for strategy lessons.

Relationship Note on Drake

My flitatious,impulsive younger brother. I would protect him with my life. I worry about him a good deal but I don't think most people fully appreciate the depth of his wit and character. He is a sensitive soul of deep emotion

Relationship Note on Moros

Lord Moros is my first true friend I've made since coming to the city. It's however involved hostage negations,schemes and threats of snow down one neck.

I look forward to seeing how our friendship alters when I no longer have snow to threaten you with.

Relationship Note on Liara

[A hand done copy of this letter is filed with the Great Archive.]

Dearest Mother,

I hope that all is well in Farhaven. I'm sorry I haven't written to you sooner, but everything here in Arx is so exciting and new! There's so much to do and so much to see. I haven't even yet managed to explore the entire city, but I will.

I wanted to belatedly share with you some good news! Princess Liara Grayson, the High Lady of the Crownlands, agreed to take me on as a protege! She's been so amazing so far! She's supporting my sudden interest in agriculture-- I'll write more about that soon! --and she's an amazing listener, and so good at guiding you to find what you want to do.

I think you would really like her! And I think she'll be an amazing patron, and help me go really far.

Yours,Bellamy

Relationship Note on Costas

I dreamt of you last night, my dark heart. I was drowning in a sea the color of your eyes while you, yourself, were standing upon an island. Tall and proud. That cocky smile upon your face as the waves battered me back. I called for you but my cries fell on deaf ears. I was swept away and you didn't come for me.

You told me, once, that love was a knife. Oh, those angst filled days when we were so enthralled with each other and our own drama. Star crossed lover's who must remain a secret.

I held onto that knife so long. I let it dig its way straight to my heart. I let that knife cut me straight to the bone. And how I want to let it go.
But I cannot forget you, I cannot let go.

Come home to me, Costas Voducce.

I had a wonderful night at the Ebb and Flow, meeting new faces. And getting to enjoy a fun drinking game with them all. I hope everyone managed to get home alright, and no one passed out in a snow bank on the way back home.
