Relationship Note on Anze
I clearly remember the first time we met. A large meeting of of the military minded in Arx; and our thoughts were exactly enough on the same wavelength that we often nodded along with each other's statements.
And I remember the delivery a really large turkey, that I made sure to drag ALL BY MYSELF to the kitchens, just so I could tell you that I did it myself. So there!
I remember that you called me Pipsqueak and I knew it was meant with affection rather than malice or mockery.
I remember that we looked forward to a day when we might be on the battlefield at the same time and could try some outrageously crazy tactics (before Fia and Edain could object, obviously!)
I remember you and Calypso being there for my wedding to Fiachra.
I remember the ridiculous red toque that you gave me as a wedding present so that if Fia and I went North for a holiday he wouldn't lose me in the snow.
I remember you doing stupid things, but you were never dishonest about it and you accepted your lumps when you got them.
I remember that you were like a big brother.
I swear I will never forget any of it. I will miss you as much as I miss the rest of my family that is gone from this life.

I wanted to believe the rumors about Prince Anze's death were just rumors...
It makes me quite sad.
He was one of the first people to actually see me and talk with me...

Relationship Note on Anze
When I first came to this city I met, then a Prince, Anze. We drank. We trained. And in the strange that is this city, I felt something akin to the normalcy of the North. He helped me adjust to proper city life, but also helped remind me that the North is where ever I go.
Our paths crossed several times since those first days, but never long enough for my liking. I will always remember drinking and the laughs shared. I will always remember the thumpings in the training center. And I will always remember him being there during that blasted battle of those damn wasps, where if he wasn't there I would have likely gotten my arm severed off.
To The Last, Anze, I will never forget you.

First my husband. Then my niece's husband. Then my other niece's husband...
I'm going to take off my shirt and drink a shit ton of whiskey in Anze's honor. It's what he would have wanted. He'd also make a joke about nobody wanting to see my tits so I must acknowledge that here as well. He would also call me Auntie and try to give me a hug.
I will find whatever did this and do my best to fuck it over as well.
Gods, my list of supernatural entities I need to track down and kill just keeps getting bigger and bigger every month...

Relationship Note on Anze
So Your Lordship, my new acquaintance the Marquessa informed me that perhaps you considered me a coward for declining to answer your question about what motivated me to spar when I knew I'd get beaten. I don't entirely agree with her impression, but in the interests of proving my mettle and explaining my thoughts:
I spar though I know I'll get beaten not to drive myself towards being able to vanquish others or to avoid visiting the same fate on myself. That's the answer of someone who doesn't look further. I spar though I know I'll get beaten because, like I did with the Foolsbane, I need to know. I need to ascertain: can I win out this way? Can I improve myself? Refinement, I suppose, would be the word, although I note I use it only in the sense of purifying, of strengthening, not in the sense of good taste and etiquette -- Gods know I have neither of those at my disposal.
As I said in an earlier post in the Whites, I look forward, not backward. If I am to be tested at any time in my life, I want to be very sure that my abilities are as good as they can be. I'll never be a duelist or a Champion -- but I need to stand as ready as I can. I've got no particular love for fighting, as I hope I expressed clearly enough in the debate, but I now pursue it as avidly as I might pursue knowledge or information, because a gap in one area is a danger, and I shore up whatever gaps I might, building bulwarks where there once were weakening tunnels.
That said: if you do decide you want to spar, I accept. I know it will end with me landing in the sand, worse for wear, but I don't need to win to know I've achieved some small victory and improved my competence. My wits don't need sharpening, but my weaponry still does.

An heir of Southport should be born in Southport. I’ve tried to hide my current state for long enough. The journey back home will be made all the more difficult by my inability to move swiftly and lack of self control to not eat half the ships food supplies. I apologize in advance to Duke Anze for any emotional outbursts along the journey. His patience is endless.

Soon to be Lord Anze Malvici. I cannot express how honored I felt to be included in the signing of your contract and how much I look forward to your vows being exchanged with those of my cousin. I know others have said it, but I'll say it anyway. The love he shares with my cousin is so strong. There cannot be a soul in Arvum who would doubt that the two of them are so well matched in friendship and love. The Hall certainly would be so much more quiet with out him joining us here. At least he's finally seemed to figure out where his shirts vanished to.

Our contract is signed and we need only perform the ceremony now to be joined as family.
This is a private thought but I thought it pertinent to share publicly. I am well aware of your reputation with the Crown and some of the Compact even still. You are seen as brash, selfish and even dangerous to some. And perhaps there was a time where that was true. But in the year and then some I have waited by your side, I have seen your true nature. You are passionately loyal to whatever you devote yourself to. I have seen you give selflessly over and over this past year. To the Shamans to the Faith, to my family and their causes and to yours. You have devoted your existence to making your wrongs right again and I could not be prouder of the redemption you've achieved through this.
Anyone who is humble enough to accept their punishments willingly, and take the opportunity to learn and grow from their mistakes, is a strong person in my eyes. None of us is perfect. It is how we step forward that makes us who we are.
I know you care very little about what others see you as, but I hope some day they will let your past transgressions go and see you for the man you are now.

When are you and Calypso going to have a child?
When are you going to get on a ship and sail the sea?
When are you taking her north to see the beautiful snows of the mountains we call home?
When are you going to put a shirt back on?
When are you going to actually give me a drink when you say we'll have drinks?
When are you going to shave your cat?
I am sure I can think of many more.....

Prince Anze is a bit of a fish out of water. I cannot think of a man that epitomizes everything I've ever heard about the North more. Yet, here he is, about to marry into the Lyceum. Perhaps I should take him under my wing, make a project of him. Hm.

One of my favorite drinking partners - along with Lady Eirene of course, and when it's the two of them together... well. That's a party right there and that's exactly what I had the pleasure of enjoying the other evening. Having been kept so busy of late, I've forgotten how nice it is to just talk without any underlying messages, or ulterior motives other than to simply have fun. - Too there is now the promise that Anze will find me a burly and beastly northerner to spend the winter with in an attempt to convince me that northern winters are not in fact the frozen hell that I imagine them to be.

I've always admired my cousin, Anze, even when his mouth grew too big for his head. He has such a passion in him - calmer than his other siblings, and yet his fire burns brighter in a lot of ways. He sticks to his values and to his loyalties, and has always stood by family, no matter the cost.
I think he's grown quite a bit during his time in Arx. I am happy to see the man he is now, still so full of life, but with a direction and something to ground him. I admire him for who he is, but also for the man I think he will be, as he continues down the path he's chosen in life.

I'm glad you and Calypso both could be present. And, will be able to travel to Sanctum once we kick Bringer ass.
Also, giver of red wool hats. Yes I will wear the brightly dyed hat if we travel north. I would not want to get lost in a random snowdrift. It matches absolutely nothing I own, so it will be like a bright, shining, out of place beacon.
