Spent time with a dear friend yesterday. I'm glad to be trusted.

Yes, scholar, this is intentionally vague.

Relationship Note on Medeia

Seeing my cousin Medeia in a less formal setting than the classroom was a delight. Her children are beautiful. And she's so generous of heart and spirit.

I'm so lucky to have the family I have now.

Relationship Note on Medeia

Seeing my cousin teach a class on herbs used in medicine isn't so much a surprise.

Realizing how much I've missed her was, however. I barely know her as an adult, and I'd like to remedy that.

Stumbled my way into an interesting bit of research.

We'll see if I'm more help than hindrance. I'm hoping so, anyway.

Keeping this vague as I'm not sure the person who so patiently let me fumble about wants this public knowledge, but I am very excited.

In honor of those casualties at Bastion, in honor of those many victims both living and dead, I urge my fellow nobles to join the Heart in Hand charity with me. Together, we can do more.

That doesn't mean we can change the past. But perhaps we can ease some suffering, and in the meantime, make our world a little better for everyone.

I know I am but a minor noble, but I sincerely think that the more people we can help, the more rebuilding we can do in Bastion and elsewhere necessary, the better the Compact as a whole will be.

Relationship Note on Grazia

Becoming Duchess Grazia's protege has opened up new avenues already.

I'm very pleased to be her protege and hope to learn much.

Returning to Arx when I did was very interesting... in such a dark way. I've been mulling over things and processing them. I should have written sooner, but I was in a state of shock.

Of course I returned on the day our dear Dominus was murdered. I never met the man, but I am very upset over these events.

It might make one turn to alcoholism.

Working toward better ranking in the Scholars. It's fascinating what kind of information you learn in The Stacks!

I learn so much when I let my anger subside a bit.

Relationship Note on Mirari

Thank you for a lovely Skirt and Gown night, Mirari! It was much appreciated.

(Sorry this is so belated.)

Relationship Note on Pasquale

I'm not sure what to make of my kin-by-oath, Pasquale. A good man, to be sure, and the best possible choice to be made Voice. I just think I should get to know him better, before my tongue--or my journal!--get me into trouble.

(Let's be honest. I'll get into trouble regardless... I'll try hard not to, though! Either with him or anyone else, promise.)

Some of the upcoming events look very interesting. Skirt and Gown Night, and the Tea Talk, especially perk my interest.

I hope I can make it to one of them, if not both!

Relationship Note on Calevaro

What a nice messere, with interesting thoughts that are so very wise.

I'm surprised a soldier has such wisdom that isn't related to the battlefield; however, I suppose life is a battlefield, too.

I appreciate all the help I've been given over the past few weeks as I've started acclimating to Arvum.

Thanks to everyone who's pitched in.

I have learned much, and yet so little, these past few days. I'm regaining my bearings, for one. The city has changed so much, but I find myself discovering old, familiar places--like friends once thought lost.

Still, there's so much to learn, and I fear I will never catch up.
