Relationship Note on Donella
I am claiming her a true friend. I know she is Thraxian and perhaps I should be wary, but I find myself enjoying her. There is a delight in such and even though we have not known each other long; I think we both like the personality of the other. We also share a lot of the same views on society and the our places in it.

Relationship Note on Freja
The woman is a scout, I'm not fully sure what goes into scouting in the North. She did tell me of the beauty of the snows and I do believe that I like this woman. She will be coming to the fashion meeting that her cousin cannot. The woman is a delight and I have found that she's always striving to be better. It is something that I can relate to.

While I met with the most lovely and glorious Freja and then attended a meeting of an interesting outcome. It is not which I write about.
The invite coming was glorious and I enjoyed it so. I love late night parties and such. The problem then happens that I remember the boat. I remember tucking my skirts up and then there is a blur.
I am not fully sure how I got home or why I kept asking if the rum was gone. Nor am I sure why my hair is just so ... big. Perhaps having curls is not good if one is not going to restrain them. There is also the fact that I smell a bit like salt. I am sure that Dagon would approve of this. Oh Gods. I really hope I didn't send any messengers last night. I don't seem to have but that would be most horrid. Somewhere, Darren is probably thinking he suddenly approves. I know that Redrain man knows when there is a party and people are overly intoxi--- (Cat paw prints).
Then of course, Jarek shows up late at night. At first, I'll admit. I thought maybe I sent him a drunken message offering to do non-ladylike things. Luckily that was not the case... but that... that... I have no word for it. He came to my house only to insult me. I said I would message him later, but there had better be expensive tokens to go with his words of apology.
Gods... can one's head burst open from the inside out?

Relationship Note on Iona
I genuinely like spending time with this woman. She does, however, make me miss my own mother. I suppose it is just because she has that vibe that she is the mother of most. Then again, in our family, she really has been the pseudo-mom to most.

Relationship Note on Aislin
While she was one of the first to meet me for tea and I adore her for that. I cannot help but think that I bored her senseless. She was not rude, but it was not the same warmth that might have been.
I shall, of course, attempt to meet with her again. I just hope that it goes better.

It has been a slower day on my social calendar, but I do not find myself fretting. I have managed to secure the dresses for myself, Lou and Dawn for Mason's event. I feel scandalous just looking at it, but it shall be wonderful. I worry that Lou might stab me over hers.
I have found the bedroom is finally mine. It took only a little smile here and a pout there, but now the largest bedroom in the Mansion is solely mine. I know this is not a battlefield victory, but it is a victory that I deserve nonetheless. Also, my wardrobe has been completed and life is most wonderful.
Today's lesson was that men will talk about swords and war the moment two or more are gathered. Not that the Grayson women are any better. We all know how to fight in our own ways. I am filling out my social calendar and it is just glorious. Every day is still filled with new people that I have met. New stories to hear. I met one of the clothiers today as well. Oh but a life is charmed when it is mine.

I fear the King's Own may truly plot my death if I keep gossiping in front of them. My visit with Alaric was the same as always. I prattled on about the clothing choices of the masses and he said nothing. I take this as his desire to hear more. So, I have been catching him up on the gossip and events. I am making sure to exclude those about him though. We need not upset my King.
I have also taken to reading to him. This tale is a wonderful one that is sure to be filled by Grayson designs. It is one of intrigue and sword fights. I am sure that he smiled, though no one else believes that. It was probably my imagination, but it makes me feel better, so that is what matters.
Later I found myself at The Ambassador. It is lovely to come upon people. I asked that Lady Cara met me. She is a wonderful woman, but truly needs to gain confidence. I will give that to her in aces. There was a lively discussion with Lady Daphne and the Wandering Prince about passions and duty. In all, as I lay my head down (after wrestling the ink back from Avenger), I think it was a good day.
Perhaps Arx will allow more than I thought to transpire.

Relationship Note on Jarek
The Wandering Prince is actually a priest. I am not fully sure how this holds in my opinions of him. He is hard to define. It seems that he is more interested in a good time than that which is around him; but I have learned that such things can be deceptive.

Relationship Note on Edain
I am not sure what I was thinking when I thought about meeting the High Prince. He was not fully what I expected in a man in his position, but that is not bad in the least. I have secured his escort on a future trip and it is sure to be delightful if not a little thrilling.

Relationship Note on Donrai
I will admit that I had to work to get granted an audience with the High Prince of Thrax. I was also slightly worried that I might end up on the menu. Instead, I was delightfully surprised with how the meeting transpired. While he is firm and resolute, I am not sure that I fear him. This is not a secret as I told him such. I do hope that he will find favor in myself and call again for tea.

Relationship Note on Mason
I wish I could pronounce his name. Perhaps I shall endeavor to take lessons in his language from him. I am distressed when I cannot be at the most perfect and speaking his language would be that. I will send word today actually about it. He is a good man it seems and he seems well suited for his Princess wife. There are such grand tales of his lands, I do hope that he will allow me to hear other tales. I also feel for him, for it must be hard to be foreign in a land and city such as our own.

Relationship Note on Silas
Sir Silas is an interesting sort of person. He was quick to meet and has done nothing but amuse me since. He is taking a commission for me and I could not be happier for it. A few commissions actually. I am happy to have met him in truth. I feel as if I do not have to mind my tongue and thoughts as I do with others.

Relationship Note on Dawn
There is a bit of irony to the King's unrecognized bastard being the voice of the house. Such irony is not lost on me. While she cannot help the circumstances of her birth, I am most curious to see what she does with what she can help.
I have found that we share a common interest in learning about people. Perhaps it is the only adventure that I am skilled in and thus I am prone to live through others and their tales.
She has tasked me with a few galas and I have taken it upon myself to do so with a flair. I am most certain she has done so to get me out of her hair, but it is something I enjoy; so I am not fully vexed by the prospect. It also allows me to time to do as I please as well.

Master Wolbrand was an interesting tea companion. He is a firm man and full of mystery. A past that is only hinted too. However, he may be more politically astute than I was to give him credit. Also, one cannot help but like a man that sends you gifts simply for being you.

Relationship Note on Augustus
I find myself a bit troubled over Prince Augustus. He seems to absolutely detest me. He has refused to meet with me. He has had nothing good to say and the fact someone was rude to me, makes him happy. I have no clue in how I have vexed him in just arriving. I am curious is this is going to be how I am received by all the family.
Perhaps this trip to Arx truly was a punishment if this is how it is to be. The outsider in ones own family. I am a Grayson, so I shall continue to smile and pretend as if my feelings are not hurt, but sadly they are. I enjoy the city, but I find myself longing to be back home when around my own family.

As Sir Silas as an escort, this was a wonderful event. I must admire his game more than a little for it shows so much information to those that play. The Wandering Prince decided to forgo his purse, an odd decision; but one of merit.

I am upon my third day in our wonderful city. This punishment has been all I have thought it to be. My dearest brother has allowed me to have full access to the room.
I have met some most lovely people from Ladies to Princely Pirates. It is almost a dream of how wonderful my reception has been.
Of course, when the voice met me, she was instantly aware that I am to be the house of Grayson. She knew immediately that I was the on to arrange fetes and galas. I know that she is sure to trust me in such things.
Then there was the wonderful Prince Donrai. He was a bit more than unexpected, but I am interested to see how our games play out.
Now to get the seamstress to get back to me, so that I might start on my wardrobe. I'm a bit put out that I have not heard back from Aurora, but perhaps she is caught up in commissions. We shall see. For now, I can see the city is brilliant and happy to receive me.
They are all lucky to have me. They will find this to be true. Style has come to Arx.

I have arrived!
I must admit that I am most put out by the state of my arrival. For surely, they knew that I was arriving. However, much to my dismay there was not a fawning of adoration. I had expected a grand feast or a ball. Surely, with the arrival of all the fashion in this town, they would do something to see to me. It pains me to think that my great family could error in such a tragic way. I will, of course, have to not speak of this plainly in front of others. It is just such a burden on me to have to be so delightful when my family is so wanting already. I suppose we must do what we must do for our family. I will simply tell them that I wished no fanfare. Surely, that will explain it to the masses why there was not a celebration in my honor. My family may thank and praise my goodwill and fast thinking later.
Now, this room. Oh this will never in eon of ages do. Sweet Gods. They have me sharing a room. This is just no. I think tomorrow I will have the servants relocate the others from this stateroom. It is to be understood. I mean I deserve such a suite to myself. It is hard to be me and in that moment, I find that I must have moments to myself. Also, my gowns need room to breathe and be seen. Could you imagine if one of the other children got something on my dress? Oh, this is just another oversight.
I do not blame my family though. It is just so hard to trust messengers sometimes. I know they must earn their wages and I'm sure that they were just beyond themselves with my selecting of them. This too will pass. Soon, I shall offer my vision to the city and it will bring the very touch that is needed.
