Relationship Note on Esoka

When I was new to Arx, a lord that soldiered in the Telmarch and that thought all too much of my abilities, I was humbled routinely in the Training Center.

Dame Esoka took me under her wing and taught me swordsmanship and other skills I carry with me today.

She was so devout to Gloria they there were times I wished she would formally give herself to the gods as Templar. But she goes for greater protection now, and I pray the goddess of Honor see over her in this new Quest.

Relationship Note on Esoka

I knew the girl all her life; her grand-father were a second father to me. Most of what I know he taught me; most of what I've learned he tried.

We fought together at some of the worst of times, from the walls of Arx to the beaches at Stormwall.

I lead her far as I could, until she found she'd another path to follow.

Until we meet again, on the solid earth, or past the end of all rivers.

Relationship Note on Esoka

I wish you well on your new journey.
I will not forget the impact you had on my life.
May we meet again on the field of battle
Swords drawn as we fight the enemies of the Compact.

Relationship Note on Esoka

I told my wife that I was interested in taking up armorsmithing! She told me that I should stick to paintings of cats. I told her I could make her armor! She told me she'd have her armor made by 'professionals'. Something about being safe, she says! I'll just make armor for cats instead.

Relationship Note on Esoka

I know I often speak in my whites about the great work Mother Ailith and Dame Thena do, but I should not forget to speak of Dame Esoka. She is not Godsworn, but she is very much my right hand - as Sir Daemon was to Thena. Her dedication to the Gods and to the Faith are admirable, and she serves as an example to all for how prodigals can integrate into our world.

But most importantly, she is a friend and always trusted. Beloved not just by Gloria, but by her disciples as well.

I'm going to teach this child to shoot a bow over wielding a sword and there's nothing you can do to stop me.

I can not help but think that my cousin, Lady Eirlys Greenmarch, is smiling somewhere at the announcement of Dame Esoka Greenblood's child being born.

May the Gods bless the new child - and guard her mother as she does their work in the west.

I am sorry to take you away from the child and Calaudrin so soon.

Relationship Note on Esoka

I do not think I have ever publicly noted it, so here I shall. My congratulations to yourself and to Sir Calaudrin, the most noble of the Iron Guard whatever his title. It will be a child born, I am sure, with the watchful gaze of Gloria looking over him - whatever his destination in life, I have no doubt he will be set off and prepared in the best ways by his parents.

I hope we can give him a world that is better than the one given to us, and a life full of promise.

Relationship Note on Esoka

I don't know how to be a parent. I wasn't raised by people who knew how to be proper parents. I don't even know where my parents are, dead probably.

But I guess I'll just figure it out. I've checked out some self-help books on how to care for infants and I'm almost positive that I can assist in keeping this child alive for at least the first couple of days before I go completely insane. I've heard they don't sleep through the night for a month? Two months? Then it happens again at three months? Agh.

Relationship Note on Esoka

Esoka reminded me that we're closing in on... years and years of being together. Four now, I think?

People like to joke that she's my better half. But if we're being truthful, they're not wrong.

She's kinder, more intuitive about others, better at riding horses, better at fighting, stronger, eats better, shouts louder, laughs harder and is an inspirational leader of soldiers.

I'm lucky if I measure up to even a quarter of the person that she is. Quite frankly, I'm not sure what I've done to deserve her sticking around as long as she has. I can only assume it's because of my hair.

It's probably the hair.

I don't like being yelled at!

I'm just willing to accept that as a consequence in order to keep doing other things.

Relationship Note on Esoka

I was very grateful for Esoka's presence and support today. We shared a journey together, and she attended my Godswearing ceremony. I enjoy her company, and her bravery is inspiring to me. Perhaps we will journey together again someday. I am glad to call her a friend.

Relationship Note on Esoka

Our wedding anniversary passed while we were on the road with Thena and Sir Preston. I know we talked on this already, but it seems fitting to make a mention of it here in my journal.

We were a couple for two years before we decided that it would be a good idea to make things 'official'. As official as this is considered for commoners anyway. There will be no great backlash if someday we decide it would be better to part ways.

I look back on the last year of being a married man and I can't say that there's anything I would change. I spent many years alone. By many, I mean a whole fucking lot. I've enjoyed having someone else in the house, even if that someone stomps around an extraordinary amount and shouts frequently and never lets me get away with /anything/.

I've liked the company and the companionship. I've taken comfort in not eating all of my meals in solitude and in the solace of having a trusted ally to confide in. The joy of having a drinking and sparring partner that I can stumble home with.

No, I wouldn't change this. I hope that there are many, many years of it come.

I'm really relieved to hear that I'll hopefully have cousins someday. Aunt Esoka had me worried there for a bit!

Relationship Note on Esoka

Don't think I could have a better aunt than you, Aunt Esoka. Thanks for putting up with me chattering at you all the time. And for letting me adopt you.

Next time wet get together to talk, I promise not to shock you so much. Maybe we can try those scones together that I never got around to trying.
