Relationship Note on Maja
Enduring without complaint the company of individuals we dislike is an important aspect of both diplomacy and etiquette.
The Radiant may be onto something there.

My week within the Shrine of the Thirteenth has drawn to a close. While I will of course return, as any Faithful must, it proved to be surprisingly beneficial in contemplating matters ranging well beyond the apparent scope of the task given to me. While there was thought, and even active discussions with others, regarding the nature of knowledge and how far one might go to uphold their oaths, it also led to other subjects in a manner that surprised me.
All in all, an enlightening experience.

My time so far within the Shrine of the Thirteenth has proven to be rather interesting. My thoughts have, as would be expected, gone to the Silent Reflections, yet less on the punishment suffered than what it would take. What it would take, were I a Scholar, to break my oaths to Vellichor. To break the sanctity and secrecy of the Black Journals.
What if the very Compact could be saved by one breaking their oath?
It is easy to romanticize such choice. To empathize and understand. Yet, before one would break an oath to save the world, they should make sure that such breaking of oath is even needed in the first place, and if a better path might not be there for them to take. For to be an Oathbreaker is no small thing, and rarely are we served by choosing recklessly on such matters.
What if the Compact could be saved by my breaking my oath?
I would sit back, and consider such matter very, very carefully.

I begin my week within the Shrine of the Thirteenth. While it is certainly not the first time I visit, it will be the first time I've spent quite so much time within its mirrored walls. It should prove an insightful experience. Whether about myself, its keepers or its visitors, remains to be seen.

Relationship Note on Dianara
There's a certain satisfaction, as a teacher, to know one's lesson is remembered, even with the passing of time. Another is to find, after so many years, that one's prediction about a student's potential was found to be correct.
