Relationship Note on Iona
Met with the Duchess Iona this week. Picked her brain about diplomacy with regards to working the streets. She had some good tips - bar brawls to defuse and whatnot. I like that idea, a lot, and I think we're going to fold it in.

Relationship Note on Iona
The Duchess Iona has been most pleasant to meet -- as has been her family. We agreed to export some of the goods of our markets in Tor to Pridehall and have those markets buy some lumber from them in exchange. I look forward to this agreement working out: I admit myself excited.

Relationship Note on Iona
My mother an I have an interesting relationship. We've butted heads in the past about my path in life, but I think that on the whole she's been supportive and only wants me to be careful of my own ambitions. In the end, I think she understood, and since I've been back in Arx, she's shown me a lot of support. The biggest development is that she informed me that she and my father would be seeking out a husband for me. It's left me rather nervous, not sure what to expect. I'm sure they'll pick me a fine match, and hopefully I can just continue my research unabated. Mother has always had my best interests at heart.

Relationship Note on Iona
Duchess Iona is a good woman. So mature and wise. She is certainly a mother too. I think she is mothering many of the Graysons, but that is alright some of us really stand to benefit from it. I know I can.

Relationship Note on Iona
My Redrain wife was not a match that I sought, but it has been an excellent one, both politically and personally.
Fierce enough to be a lion herself, she tempers her ferocity with an understanding of how to work with people, rather than just work through them. Even decades later, there are still things I can learn from her.
The politics are a benefit, but the best part of the match has been finding an equal partner, in public and in private alike.

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 Iona
Duchess Iona will say she is only a woman who has done whatever needed to be done for her family and her liege House. But I know very few women who would open both their homes and their hearts to so many children who weren't her own. Some would offer shelter, yes, but I believe she loved all of us who came into her care. For a girl who never knew a mother, the warmth, affection and wisdom that she gave to my teenaged self was invaluable and she never held it against me, my early moods as I struggled to come to terms with the circumstances of my life. In many ways, I model myself on her as I move through my duties.

Relationship Note on Iona
As Duke Gabriel served to be a surrogate father, Duchess Iona was my mother in much the same way. If one were to point at the most influential person in making me the person I am today, it is her. By her example, I found my voice to speak for the people. I hope she is proud of me, and I hope I never do anything to destroy that sense of pride.
