Relationship Note on Noah

I have a new patron. If something unusual happens to him, I will have to suspect that I am bad luck.

Relationship Note on Noah

The best marriage advice is to have a board and stick of chalk.

Each time you're annoyed, irked, vexed, troubled, infuriated, bothered, soured, or exasperated (though don't forget the times that you're excited, cheerful, frolicking, confounded, happy, bewildered, aroused, contented, inspired, lackadaisical, confused, or gallivanting)? Make a mark (I will note that you must make the marks yourself; do not pass the chore off to a servant or accomplice). No words. No noteworthy expressions. No spiteful glances. No cheeky little glimmers of a smile. No meaningful regards or thoughtful stares. To really edge into the territory of expert marital spite? It's best to proactively scratch a little mark without discernable cause or merit on the random occasion. In order to attain a more monolithic status then you must make certain that you scratch a very distinct and purposeful mark following a particularly vigorous bout of lovemaking before you promptly depart the area.

Make your marks. Ideally when they're witness to the act, but at minimum ensure that one of their most trusted associates or servants is fed that tender morsel of potential gossip or report.

One must remember though, always, that the marks are irrelevant. They are neither a positive or a negative and entirely without true meaning. They are a playful game and bear precisely zero weight on your genuine outlook, feelings, or regard. The mark is simply a mark for the sake of creating a mark. An act of transferring that moment of annoyance or delight into that little segment of white (or colorful) line and being done with it.

Despite that lack of any true meaning for yourself? The sight of a stick of chalk may become enough to incite rage, even when that stick is simply being moved from one drawer to another. The sound of a board being marked will be like the crying of a whole nursery of infantile children masquerading as semi-functional adults. The scent of chalk dust in the air will be akin to the most powerful concoction to bring foam to the mouth and eyes rolling back in their sockets, as they enter some manner of berserk trance to rival even the most terrifying Northern warrior.

If your goal is to usher in your own doom, then it's the most enjoyable way. You'll have plenty of herbal supplements included in your cups within the month. If that fails to work, then you'll have no less than four gift daggers festooning your person within the fiscal quarter. Evading that fate is what builds strength, character, considerable dexterity, instills a healthy distrust of stairs, and ample guile. It's good for mind, body, and spirit! It is imperative to remember though that this is all an accomplishment of your own making, so there is to be no complaining when you harshly discover that you've bitten off more than you're truly capable of chewing! The silver lining of this point is that if you've achieved this milestone then you won't have to dwell on your folly for long!

Should you prove successful in this survival exercise? You're welcome to write me for additional marriage advice should you find yourself in need. My thirteen years of arduous trials impersonating marriage experience is at your disposal.

Do you know why revenge is best served cold?

Because it's just ice.

Relationship Note on Noah

Your visits are a source of excitement among the apprentices, and I couldn't rob them of that without feeling bad. Sometimes I like to give others in the city a chance to buy a dagger if they happen by the shop, especially since I stock it without any fanfare these days. I suppose I could start sending a preview item to consider, but an Archduke at the shop brings in a lot of business.

Not that I have expectations generally, if really at all, but they rarely change at least.

Look at it this way: the more expectations change on you, the more assured you are that you shall never be boring and predictable.

Relationship Note on Noah

Tee hee, I've had this smart idea
And Princess Lou will hate it
How can I make it come to be?
I know, I'll enlist a creative

What I want is custom made
Rhymes to discompose her
Donate silver? Of course not
I'll pay you in exposure

Some might say that this is rude
Some might call me a hater
But it's the very bestest plan:
As they say, none greater.

I don't recall ever whining for gifts from you. They are a bit...far too generous than what I would ask for. But as I said, I will make sure my gift in return will be just as deserving.

To Noah -
I completely understand the concern.
But I'm afraid my wife is very clever, and outwits me frequently in these matters.

Punching down is always in poor taste, particularly amidst misunderstandings that representatives of the Faith have already so graciously seen fit to clarify. Speaking of misunderstandings, I sincerely hope no one takes this recent example as in some way indicative of who my cousin is.

Nothing will come from this public bitterness - except that it will stain you.

Relationship Note on Noah

The Archduke Consort offered me some advice, none of it is particularly repeatable. However, one shouldn't avoid going to him for relationship advice if one has the time. Sure, he's busy be married to our Archduchess and his many hobbies but let it not be said that he won't take the time to talk to you at a bar. About very personal things. In great detail. Legal disclaimer: Your results my a vary. This is not legal advice. Prince Noah may respond differently.

Archduke Consort Noah Velenosa is surely one of a kind. Absolutely no one compares. Not only is he extremely cultured, he has quite a way with words as well. They are much appreciated.

He also likes cookies. It's hard to find fault in anyone who likes cookies.

How embarrassing you mistook boredom for lowest. I'll not make such a mistake again. I know how, being as young as you are, it can be hard to focus on any specific task or topics for long but you'll be fine...until you aren't.

Longest year of my life.

Autumn is my favorite season so I think it was why I was so susceptible to your barely there charm and your not quite there yet good looks.

Now I know not to be so agreeable in the future when the leaves change color.

Most esteemed Prince Noah Grayson - I am actually working on a dagger specifically for you and it will probably have griffins. Maybe purple ones on sooted black. Though now I'm thinking a complimenting pair of daggers might serve better. There are some quirks of design I'm still trying to figure out.

The Prince of Grayson, Noah, has been responsible for most of my battle injuries of late. A black eye even.

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