Relationship Note on Ailith
Legate Ailith made time for my request on a very busy morning and she even made me oatmeal. She is an embodiment of Gild's hospitality and I am deeply honored.

Relationship Note on Ailith
The salve carried the scent of sandalwood and the wound has healed, yet left a permanent reminder of the skill of my assailant. My sincere thanks to the Legate of Concepts for keeping me seaworthy.

A Song of Hope, and songs of hope are a weapon against disheartenment, against sorrow. It was a wonder to see how it affected those who heard and sang it. Thank you for sharing it with others.

I went to the Renewal Ceremony...
It was lovely. The story was wonderful, very moving.
I cried.
Clearly, this pregnancy thing has turned me into an emotional woman. One moment, happy. Next moment, crying at such a well told, fantastic story.
Ugh.
Still, it was a lovely ceremony and I'm glad I went.
Seraph Ailith did a fantastic job.

Ode to the Legate of Concepts
O bright soul, and kind!
Who before all pomp
Upholds the gods' shinning light,
And with eyes that gaze upon
Immortal things profound,
Brings, like the flower's bloom,
Hope to every bride and groom.

Your kind words over the years about my work are always humbling - I mean that with all sincerity. I was so pleased to hear from Sir Preston and that he put Path into your hands, and then from you as well. Your generous remarks are ones I continue to treasure and I hope the blade will serve you well and long. Really, it's me who should be thanking you, Legate.

Yes please!
We really need to get together and break open a few bottles. I still have that case Victus gave me to work through just waiting for the next time.

You have a lot of people here who are saying that there's nothing more important than keeping the hypothetical children of Arvum fed. Maybe this is a good chance for you to organize them into doing that in the real world.
If you manage to organize something, Seraph, Mercier will contribute.

Relationship Note on Ailith
The Orthodoxy has certainty - and it manifests itself in two ways. One is the path I follow. The protection of what is important, fighting for what you know is right. That way is not as friendly, certainly not forgiving, and brings with it destruction. It is clearing the weeds so the garden might bloom. Yet. If all you ever do is destroy, there is nothing to grow. Nothing to bloom. And your destruction is for nothing.
The other path it opens is one of wisdom drawn from those traditions that are held dear, and the comfort - the sense of belonging those traditions provide. The instant bonds it can create. Such a path finds no greater champion than Seraph Ailith. She nurtures and helps people grow. She plants the seeds of the world that will be. She has perhaps the more pleasant of the two paths, but also the harder one. It is easy to destroy - yes, a fight might be hard, but there are only two paths. Live. Die. To create? To nurture? To improve? That is a harder task. And one she does with skill and compassion.

Seraph Ailith is simply one of the most intelligent, wise, compassionate, and empathetic people I have the honor of having gotten to know recently, and I thank the Gods for her. Several times now have I spoken to her for counsel, and never come away feeling anything other than how to proceed with more clarity. She does her office and the Faith a great deal of credit.

Relationship Note on Ailith
I consider myself a knight, first and foremost. I nearly lapsed in that duty. I came quite close in allowing my thirst for adventure, battle, and more to cloud my judgment. I nearly failed to do what was right. When someone who was in need required my aid, I very nearly allowed my desire to mete out justice to overcome my senses. I very nearly left someone who needed me in a desperate moment, to fend for themselves. All so that I may chase valor and glory. I very nearly failed myself and others as a knight.
It is Seraph Ailith that I have to thank for guiding me to the proper path. In the moment where I may have very nearly stepped away from my own nature in order to pursue glory, Seraph Ailith was there to silently coach me back to the proper path. To aid someone who needed me, in that exact moment for their life could have very well depended upon it. I am happy to say that with Seraph Ailith's assistance, I stayed to the path and did what was right, over what would bring my name fame or appease my desire to engage with an enemy in battle.
Sometimes as a knight we must be the shield that refuses to move, so that those behind it may survive. It isn't all valiant charges and climatic moments of heroism. Sometimes it's rooting oneself in place, refusing to budge, and weathering the storm so that another may be protected from it. Sometimes one must stand in the back and watch their friends, allies, or even enemies-turned-allies-of-convenience throw themselves into the fray. Sometimes you must attend to your duty away from the front line, so that those in the front can rest assured that their backs are safe. It may not be what one favors, likes, enjoys, or finds thrilling. A necessity of battle sometimes, still.
Had I just gone charging off foolishly in pursuit of valor? I think I would have been much more disappointed in myself today. I think that others would have been even more disappointed in me. Had the one I needed to stand before died? Then I know that this entry would have been drastically different in tone and purpose. Injuries were suffered, but lives remain. For the sake of another? I'm thankful to have had the opportunity to step forward to fulfill that need. Whether a prayer was made or not, a knight appeared.
Thank you Seraph Ailith for reminding me of this in a heated moment. Without a single word spoken, you reminded me that sometimes a victory can not be the only pursuit. One must take stock of all of the consequences of that victory. A victory gained through extreme consequences is pyrrhic and often not worth the human lives spent to attain it.

You have helped me to find my voice. I am inspired and honored to know you. I can tell that you are blessed and beloved by the Gods. Peace, serenity, hope and comfort radiate from you like an almost palpable beacon of the Light. I hope that we can continue to speak of things with regards to the Faith, the Marin'alfar, and more once we return to Arx.

You are a wealth of knowledge, wisdom, and humor, thank you for sharing all three with me on this trip. As Victus has already let me have a great bottle of good rum, and as I procured some myself from Maelstrom, we shall most certainly be able to taste Thrax's finest to honor both the journey made and the adventures yet to come.

She works so hard to be strong. She keeps busy helping other people. Answering their questions, supporting their work. She always seems to know a little bit of what's going on - she may not know details, but she knows who's working on what. She is a friend and a valuable knowledge base, but I have to wonder what she does that's just for her? Perhaps Dame Marra would know, but if she does, Marra's not telling.
