Relationship Note on Mirk

Despite the unsettling times, we still make time for friends and allies. Lord Mirk is such a wise man and so knowledgeable. He has earned my respect many times over.

Relationship Note on Mirk

I am very grateful for my cousin, Mirk, who never fails to share his keen insights, or offer excellent advice, or even push me out of the way of our enormous foe at Bastion so I am not smashed to little pieces. I am so lucky to have my family.

Relationship Note on Mirk

I've recently had the pleasure of making an acquaintance of Lord Mirk Halfshav. The depth of this man's knowledge is astounding and he is precisely what I needed to find at exactly the right time. He's the consummate host and a wonderful conversationalist. Watch yourself, scholar. He may be primed to take your job one day.

Relationship Note on Mirk

I've always been curious about the northerners. They way you all seem to connect with nature, animals, and as you say 'the spirits', it is simply fascinating.~

All that aside, thank you kindly for allowing me to take care of Jasper. I promise the handsome gyrfalcon will be in good hands. I shall seek you again soon, to further his training as well as my own. I do wish to understand him better, like you seem to do. I swear, you make it seem so easy!

Relationship Note on Mirk

I've started to notice that the whiskey bottle comes out whenever we start a conversation any more. I'm not sure if it is to brace one-self for what is to be heard, or to ready for what is to be said. Either way, my new goal for a future meeting is a calm, easy going, sips of mead or ale or juice or wine or something one can enjoy in some easy going banter. Wonder if that goal will ever be reached?

Relationship Note on Mirk

There is a certain serenity, to choices made.

I've been so frazzled, since I arrived. So undirected. That isn't the Lenne I know.
Lenne is a creature of goals. And I finally feel minimally educated enough to set myself to some, in confidence, at last.

It's a crushing weight, that I was only peripherally aware of, suddenly lifted. Today I wake and find I breathe easier.

Thank Vellichor for Elder Mirk Halfshav, for his wise guidance of a very lost girl. Thank the spirits that guard him.

Relationship Note on Mirk

I'm grateful for the Elder Shaman's wisdom. Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for the Vala's as well! It's just that... when you're someone else's best friend unofficially, it creates a reasonable amount of personal bias. For them.

Relationship Note on Mirk

Elder Mirk Halfshav has been exceptionally generous with his time as well as with offering insightful advice on some matters I've been unsure about lately. While our paths crossed here and there at events or the like for a year or more now, only recently have I gotten to appreciate his kindness as well as dry humor. I'm quite grateful for his assistance and willingness to help.

Relationship Note on Mirk

That's even more disappointing than my own second place finish in the archery contest. Poor Chops. I hope he's not too upset. I should have stayed for the race and cheered him on with you, Mirk.

I hope someone consoled him with apples.

Relationship Note on Mirk

Why is it when you speak to wise people and bring them a question, I find myself holding more questions as I leave than I arrived with?

Relationship Note on Mirk

My tutor Dame Judyth was fond of a quote by the Eurusi scholar Faiyed Niedja, which can be translated as, "One who fights with monsters must be ever wary of becoming one. For if you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you."

And yet so too must it be with beauty.

Thank you, Elder, for the task you set to me. It has reminded me of all the splendor, power and majesty of Nature and her elements. Such knowledge is a potent ally against despair and misery.

Wise and honorable.
And the exact opposite of everyone I spent most of my life with until I came to this city.

Relationship Note on Mirk

Nothing is so fine as to reunite with family - no matter the time apart. Blood is surely thicker than water and some relations are more alike than you may realize. It's been far too long and let us not allow that to happen again, good cousin.

My nephew. Oh how you have grown. You are so strong now. So sure. When it was suggested that you should become an Elder of the Spirit Walkers. I was so proud of you I wanted to crack open a bottle right there. You give me hope that there is a generation to come after that will hold to Shamanism. I feel that need much after losing Cybele.

Well said and plainly stated Nephew. Though you do not speak for our house, you echo our sentiments. The Road has been a Boon for Whitehold, even if others have used it to push their own grudges and desires for glory.

It was quite interesting listening to Mirk speak of the plants and of the new grove at the Lodge. It is so peaceful there, with beauty all around and spring scenting the air.

It is always good to have a fellow scholar to answer questions, I look forward to working with you in the future Lord Mirk.

Please note that the scholars may take some time preparing your journal for others to read.
