Remember that the trick's much less impressive once you see how the magician does it, cousin.

Relationship Note on Lucene
I am not alone.
I've /felt/ alone in one sense or another for some time now, amusingly more so in a city teeming with other souls than out on a boat with no land in sight. But talking to my cousin, venting frustrations, putting the world to rights and swearing to look out for each other has eased my mind somewhat.
Come what may in the coming few days, regardless of how my relationships with friends heal or decay further, I know that there is at least one person who has my back, who has heard of my mistakes and cares for me nevertheless.
Lucene, if you're reading this - from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

As it turns out, the fact that you could likely have beaten your cousin once with one hand behind your back doesn't necessarily mean the same holds true near twenty years later.
I'm not quite sure why I was so readily beaten by Lucene on the training sands. It would be wrong to sully her victory - unlike her family's namesake, the Lady Gilden is anything but soft, and gave me the most thorough thrashing I've had since... well, in years.
But that as an aside, my own performance was as lacking as hers was proficient. Maybe it had to do with the lack of stakes - for all her rage, I knew my life was never in any real danger, whereas I can remember fighting tooth and nail for my - or Rom's - life on multiple occasions, frequently snatching survival from the jaws of death.
Maybe I've grown soft. Too much 'gentleman,' not enough 'reaver' to my lifestyle of late.
Or perhaps I'm simply worse at swords than I thought. Perhaps I should find someone to remind me which end of the weapon is the business end.

That was awkward...
Maybe if there is a next time it won't be so awkward...
