Relationship Note on Luca
It finally happened! I was so delightfully nervous! And I remembered what you said when we last talked about searching.
What's next, though, will be a smidge difficult. But, I can do this, you always said that I could! Perhaps a little whiskey will help?

I bet you're either shaking your head or laughing to the point of tears. Maybe both!
Yeah. Probably both. I love you.

Relationship Note on Luca
I have met so many interesting people this week, it was almost like the first few years I was in Arx when everything was new. It also made me think of those who have been lost.
This week, it was Luca who kept coming to mind over and over again. Luca, who always made me feel as if I had something to offer even when I did not. Luca, who made me smile and laugh so effortlessly, and put me at ease even when I was not. How many times did I step over you in the hallway as I was moving from my bedroom to the audience hall, only to find you still there and with a willing ear to listen and a comforting spot right on the floor beside him.
"Don't worry, I can remind you of who you are. You're a lovely piece of artwork with eyes like the summer sky when there's not a cloud in sight and it stretches on for so long and forever that you question your importance in such a big, big world. You laugh like a warrior fights, freely and bravely, and honestly. Your enthusiasm, that of a child's when given a gift they did not expect. You're sweeter than any treat on that tray. Also, you're upside down, which is a new thing, but I think I'm enjoying this new perspective."
Sometimes being found upside down can provide a poet the muse to offer something so touching that a friendship could never be forgotten even long after the two are gone. You lived as you left, full of passion for everything and everyone in your life, and for that you will always be loved my friend.

I miss stepping over you in the hallway, only to stop every third trip over to sit beside you on the floor for a stolen moment of friendship. I still take an overly large step when I reach that spot, and I will always sit on the floor even if you are no longer able to just to remember you fondly.
You were so much more than you let anyone see, and I will always hold dear that you allowed me to see some of those parts.
Till next time, Luca.

I think I am /still/ drunk from Luca's funeral.
Oh my gosh Luca, even in death you torment me.
Jerk!
I -so- miss you -- although since our entire friendship was based on the exchange of messages, I guess I can still send them to you. I will just have to assume that you are too busy having adventures and fun to reply just yet.

I did not know Luca Grayson as well as I might. But he was the brother of my dearest Ophelia. And despite his public appearances, he did much for the King and Compact, some which may never be widely known.
I wear a seasilk sash, like those of the paladins and knights of the Reckoning. Its first embellishment is a green griffon for Prince Luca.
We will remember. And you therefore will not wholly die.

With evil cultists all around,
Luca was the perfect fighter
He cut them up, he cut them down
With him the world was brighter
Oil him up and watch him fight
In nothing but a sheet
He'll whip it off just to disarm
That hardly is a cheat
He really liked to collect swords
For protection and good deeds
My favorite one was in his pants
He saw to all my needs!

Dear boy, I was wroth with you.
I suppose that I shall not be any longer. You did have a way of making me smile even on my most pain riddled days.
You'll be delighted to know, that the scarf is out and being worn. Not because you're gone but because the weather demands it.

Relationship Note on Luca
It isn't the afternoons in the taproom that I spent with Prince Luca that springs to my mind when I think of the man. Not the first thoughts. Rather, I recall vividly the occasions of the afternoons instead that a justifiably, righteously irate princess Ophelia threatened to tell the Fox Prince to storm the Raconteur. I, of course, would wave my hand around at the copious amounts of alcohol, putting on a face of bravado that he'd get far too distracted before actually finding me. But deep down, we both knew the truth: Luca was a man of many things, but one undeniable element was the bonds of family, especially to his sister. I've no doubt if it came down to it, he'd have stormed the place and defended her honor just as she wished. Most likely with a mug of alcohol in his hand. And he'd have made it look far too easy in doing both things at once.

His gift came, unexpected, surprising. I admit, for as much as I admired him, I did not think to be remembered in such a way. I have to keep reminding myself that he has gone home. That he is safe and warm and making the Queen laugh. My grief is my own.
I spent some time studying the stars. And I think I saw a glimmer of his smile within their shine.

Relationship Note on Luca
It has been far too long since I've written and I didn't think I had the energy to write this, but I dug down deep. Grief has a way of sapping the energy you have and so it is with a heavy heart I write about my patron, Prince Luca Grayson. It took me by surprise, his death. I know he was ever active, though his deeds were always a mystery to me, and even now the reasons he died are frustratingly bizarre. We didn't get to talk as often as I'd have liked, but I did get the pleasure of waking him up some mornings, passed out in his favorite bushes throughout the city.
We didn't get enough time. And I selfishly miss the small additions he gave my life as my patron and dear friend. Who will send me a cigarillo of hash while I sit through economic meetings? Who will wholeheartedly care about my well-being when I go off on a trip that could get me harmed, so much so he sent his own armor to keep me safe?
He spoke so well of the people he truly trusted and loved, and he was very well loved in return.
In honor of my daring, heroic patron I am going to have a garden made up in his honor. A lovely place for travelers through the city, with only the most fluffy and comfortable bushes to pass out in. The Prince Luca Grayson Memorial Park for peaceful napping. If anyone would like to help, I welcome those who loved our Prince Luca.

I did not know you well, but I knew OF YOU well... if that makes sense.
Last time I saw you, which wasn't long ago, just at the Clearlake Archery Tournament about a week ago. I said I owed you a drink for... fifth place was it?
I was looking forward to it, and now, well, maybe another turn. Until then, one day soon I will host a Luca night at the bar and buy a drink for whomever comes.
You will be missed and you will most definitely be remembered.
