Relationship Note on Swift
A battle, even a battle won, rarely ends with satisfaction. That only comes much later, after you've accounted for the dead, and once the fog of exhaustion has lifted.
After it was all done, I sat beside you, covered in the blood of our enemies, the blood of the one who took your life; exhausted beyond measure, but with a vigil to maintain. I thought about how we met, all those moments we had. Future moments that will never be.
I'm not ashamed to admit I wept.
I told you a story that only belongs to you, now. I hope on some level you heard it. That it will give you comfort until you return on the wheel, to know that a thing never made is not a thing that is lost, but in progress.

Shame. You were one of the family I actually kind of got on with.
Not going to cry or light any candles, but I'll pour one out for you next time I'm in the pub. I mean, I'll drink it, of course - figure that's what you would've wanted - but it's the thought that counts, right?

Relationship Note on Swift
I did not know Swift Grayhope very well, and that is a regret that will follow me to my grave.
I spoke to her on a few occasions - she was vivacious, self-confident, and beautiful. She showed off an impressive tattoo which she got while drunk. She went on adventures.
We spent time together on the journey to Sungreet. We spent time together aboard the Eurusi ship. When the assassins struck, Swift moved as you'd expect from her name.
She paid for that.
They call us heroes for the work we did, for Lady Monique turning the Crown Prince and the work the rest of us - including Swift - did to convince and shift the crew before Crown Prince Damik'uhl'daja declared his defection.
I am thankful for that. But Sungreet brought us so, so many heroes.
And Swift Grayhope, though she's an example to us all, is just one of many, many dead after that battle.
I'll be lighting candles. In the Shrine of the Queen and Mother, that she may welcome them to her bosom, and send them along.
In the shrine of Gloria, in thanks for letting courage and honour be with our troops on the day, and hope for it every day since. In memory of the Swift action that saved the Crown Prince's life.
And then I expect, I will walk as my feet lead me, to each of the other shrines - to light candles there, and pray for the virtues of the gods that instill us, and the principles that we fight for.
Thank you Swift Grayhope.
May you rejoin us in due time.

I've only just heard. You just had to die doing something brave and stupid, didn't you? Asshole.
Queen keep you, see you in the next turn, cousin.
