Relationship Note on Saoirse

I've had the good fortune to be Princess Saoirse Velenosa's protege for a number of years now and I've never regretted it at all. Obviously her brilliance and sharp wit are treasures of the Lyceum, and I will lend my sword to defend her life whenever it is needed.

Including, apparently, at parties held by her own family. They never do lack for excitement.

So many voices the other night, but not the only one that mattered.

What I would have given for but a word.

"Normal" Arx activity spotted in the Grotto.

A "normal" figure trying to sneak in. Stole some towels and soap. Slipped, screeched, fled.

"Normal."

Leon grows so quickly. I wonder if he will be up to the task of leading the Roseward? He has to be, all we can do is provide him with as much help as possible.

I would like to thank several people for helping with the Roseward's enduring little problem. They all displayed level heads and amazing competence in a dangerous and horrific situation. Marquessa Quenia Igniseri, Lady Eirene Malvici, and Lord Mirk Halfshav. The Marquessa of the Roseward and I would like to express our most sincere gratitude.

Valuable lessons learned in diplomacy- do not kick someone in the chest with whom a favorable negotiation has already been struck. It doesn't turn out well.

Relationship Note on Carmen

Messere Carmen's latest entry in the Whites has me unsettled - I am very glad now that I do not wear steelsilk. Every time I touched or looked at it, that question would rise unbidden in my mind.

Relationship Note on Cambria

A recent conversation with the Marquessa has left me convinced that Ostria is fortunate to be in such extraordinarily capable hands. Her wits and resolve do House Mazetti proud - I believe that Fidante and Mazetti have nothing but a stronger future together given our consensus on important matters. I shall have to get to know the whole House and favorably anticipate it.

I would like to give a most heartfelt note of appreciation to all that attended the dinner at the Fidante Villa.

Jokes made in bad taste, nervous white lies and misunderstandings seem to me the exact situations a Champions duel is made to resolve - not thundering proclamations and extortion. I can't imagine why some commoners enjoy sneering at us so much.

Relationship Note on Arcadia

Nothing can replace the emeralds of Tor in my heart, but seraphinite is now a close second. I owe thanks to Countess Arcadia for showing me a spectacular specimen of this dazzling gem. Set in silver seems to be the most appropriate way to display it - I will have to consider ways to integrate it into my wardrobe.

Relationship Note on Lucita

The Baroness should be commended for being a most kind host and storyteller. As much as it pains me to admit it, her skill with verse surpasses my own. Perhaps one day I shall hear it in song.

Relationship Note on Esme

Such a delight to have cousin Esme here in Arx! Her sparkling personality is amazing to behold, of course she would name her sword Kindness.

Relationship Note on Lucrezia

The Admiral of the Black Fleet cuts an impressive figure - after meeting her, I have no doubt that I will become a far better commander of a fleet myself with her guidance.

Relationship Note on Maja

From the joy you found in my name, Darling Starling, it is clear that I must bow to your will and that of Princess Saoirse. Dante Fidante I shall ever be.

I believe I feel a poem coming on!

Relationship Note on Saoirse

The Princess has only the finest taste in cutting edge interior decorators. No, I don't know it firsthand.

Relationship Note on Lora

Standing in the Gate.
This should be home, but it feels wrong.
Neither the luster of emeralds in twilight
Nor the myriad hues of all Tor’s sweet roses
Can mask what has been forever altered.
Once fragmented,
Whole.

Relationship Note on Josephine

See, this is why I prefer a sword.

That was not an invitation for you to take on a sword. You're quite fine just the way you are.
