Your gift is perfection.
While she will solely know my hands, I will wield her only in your name.

Relationship Note on Belladonna
I am, as ever, done proud by the sheer scope and grandeur of my (for now!) Duchess's ambition and visionary leadership. Truly, I chose a good time to follow to Arx, though my heart is always called back to the silken city when e'er a warm ocean breeze touches my cheek, or two close figures wreathed in shadows are from a distance difficult to discern whether as lovers or conspirators, or when the hear grows to such sweet excess all one can think of is a chance to bathe naked under the moonlight in cool brackish waters.

It is hard not to put her on a pedestal, with the strength of her leadership, the elegance of her carriage, and the beauty of her form. Half the taverns of the Silken City one can hear songs of her legend just thus far. I do hope to meet her in the next few weeks now that I am in Arx.

Relationship Note on Belladonna
Do you seek to besmirch Northlanders with your careless words? Or just echoing stereotypes of the South that distract from the shining examples of diplomacy, elegance and grace of the fair Lycene I've had pleasure working with?
There is nothing sad about winter. The blanket of white snow eliminating the frail and weak. The warmth of family and friends who pause their lives to reconnect because of the impassable force that is nature. The welcomed weight of leathers and furs that protect from the exhilarating, biting winds of the North. Every season has merit in the cycle. Do not insult others fondness just because of difference.

Relationship Note on Belladonna
I don't love winter, though I do, sometimes, for reasons I'll never really be able to explain, miss northern winters in the way I imagine other people miss their childhood home, even if that home was cold and dangerous and never had enough food. I don't love winter, I respect winter. Where I'm from, if you don't respect it, it will kill you, it will kill your family, your friends, your tribe, your horses. It doesn't do this because it's cruel. It does this because it is, it was, and it will always come again. Winter is a beast that cannot be tamed, and must always be remembered, prepared for, endured. You can complain about it, shout at it, curse it, and it won't do you any good at all because winter does not care. Winter is a test. Have you done enough? Have you made the right choices? And what will you do when something in your plans inevitably goes completely wrong, because winter does not know mercy and will show no mercy to you.
And the most important thing about winter, the reason to respect it the most, is that, unless you follow it home, winter will always go away. It will always fade. No matter how long, or how harsh, winter will always, eventually, become spring.

All the warmest congratulations for the completion of your great wonder the titaness. I felt blessed to see her, towering above us, the last of the scaffolds being disassembled, as we prepared to sail our fleet back from your waters, and I imagine generations onward will feel her presence as they approach Setarco.

Every once in a while, the surprises that one comes across are not disappointing but truly wonderful.
I'd forgotten how much I loved my family, when they let me. I don't mean my husband and children, for I don't forget that.
But rather my Pravus kin, from my dramatic and silky cousins to my practical yet philosophical father.
It is good to be back in one another's lives. May it last.

Duchess Pravus has become an ongoing benefactor to the Isles Canines, marking the beginning of what I believe will be a formidable alliance. Naturally, the Pravus have many concerns with pirates, and though their fleets are also substansial, we shall collectively make the waters surrounding Setarco a quite inhospitable place for the enemies of the Compact.
