Relationship Note on Maren
I had a delightful afternoon and respite from the cold in the Jade Moon. It was a trudge from the carriage through to the doors but very much worth it. I had never seen tea that transformed from a ball to a blooming flower but now I have and the twins and Eleyna did so delight in it. Even if there was fighting over who had the better flower steeping in their water. Ever does their great aunt dote upon them. Such worries that I had when she appeared within the city and presented herself at the estate. But then, I always worry about everything. But between then and now, it has been a delight to see the look on my husbands face when she is around. The children flocking to her when she comes to the estate and YaYa as they like to call their cousin to whom Astrid just flat out adores.
It's good to have family around. To see them all embraced and accepted. I miss this. Have missed this. I shall have to thank Gild for the blessing laid upon this family and cherish the time despite the turmoil around us. I shall remain in envy though that Aunt Maren was permitted to know the name of Eleyna's doll but that I am still bereft of the knowledge.

Relationship Note on Maren
Maren Lir gave Sunaia and I a pair of Jade bangles as an early wedding gift along with a message so lovely I feel the need to share it with the entire world.

Remember that no matter where it is you go on land or sea, if you remember to navigate towards each other regardless of the storm, you will be able to face it with interwoven strength that would not be available to each of you alone. There will be times when you feel as if surely you will burn to ash in anger or drown in sorrow, but by choice you can rise from it more beautiful than before.
The jade here is strong and smooth and untouched, and each starts as a piece to mirror the other. Over time the color will shift as it is worn, and there will be marks and perhaps even chips made individually, first sharp but then smoothed over time. Though they may change in appearance, no longer identical, they are still carved from a single vein, and they are still two pieces of one whole, beautiful together and in how they diverge from one another and create a matching set that is uniquely yours.
Certainly you will face many challenges in these days remaining in the world, both from outside of yourselves, and between you. I know that you also have the courage, faith and strength to turn those marks of heart and spirit and body into a testament to what you will build together, your choice to weather what comes and polish it into greater brightness.
