They smiled! I swear they smiled. The nannies told me I was mistaken and it is because I have either have had too little sleep, or too much brown nut ale. I was also told no, I could not make camp in the nursery. I do not snore no matter what they say.

I am starting to understand why many of the higher nobles have nannies and do not try to take care of two new born twins on their own. I think Princess Alarissia took pity on us as just last night we were told we have a nanny, and have no say. It could be because people in Thrax actually wanted to sleep. I did not think the twins were that loud, but I have had bee's wax in my ears since they were born.

Relationship Note on Alarissa

What do you give a Princess Consort who either has everything, or with a snap of fingers can get anything. Certainly not newborns. My wife would kill me, and not sure her Grace would be any friendlier to me if I did. Nope you give her a painting of the Queen of Squirrels, done by said Queen of Squirrels. I hears Doreen did it in the same red tree sap my cousin tried to poison me with.

To my beautiful wife, I thank all the gods the babies look like you and not me, and may they take after you for a stronger, more worthy woman in the compact I do not know. I love you now to the stars touch the horizon and back and beyond.

I have noticed every has wishes the mother and children well, but never the father. It has been a long nine months for me. I had a pregnant wife who has a very large and vicious axe and wicked temper. I am lucky she only took away my ale!

I have red spot all over my hunting leather, as if someone had flung paint at it, or I was freshly shot with an arrow. Not shot with an arrow (I think) and no one flung pain at me, so this has to be that damned sap, and it is all my cousin's fault. Now I need new hunting leathers.

Relationship Note on Coraline

It is here! Finally it is here! Not in time for the battle and even then she would not have been combat ready, but my gift to my wife is finally here in the bay. I cannot wait to see her expression.

And get back my brown nut ale. Must not loose sight of the true goal here.

Relationship Note on Mabelle

I hear my cousin was on a boat, and there was a giant beaver, and above all else my cousin lived.

I am supposed to be happy about this, yes? Perhaps so, though my stance on this might change the next time I meet her sharp tongue.

Relationship Note on Cerys

A traitor she is! A betrayer! We had a deal and she was to order my brown nut ale and I was to order her drink, and pay her. What does she do? Hangs my wife wicked poster in the common room and tells the bar keep no ale for me! Tricksies! Unfair!

Relationship Note on Coraline

Posters! She has posters up in every inn and tavern I have been too. 1000 silver to not serving Klaus Thrax brown nut ale. The picture looks nothing like me. I might send her gift back now, or keep it to myself and block her boat in harbor. Maybe.

Then again she has that large axe...

I might need to rethink this

If people ever wonder why I write about the superiority of brown nut ale, a dash of tea in a Laurent honey pot, and how I work my way around my wife's attempts to keep such simple pleasures from my life, after droves of people with pensive and angry faces coming too and from the archives, now you know why. I am a simple solider in the end, and life for all of us just too short. Find joy, find mischief, find pleasure even in the small things. You have no need to court misery and strife, it can find you easily enough, especially in my profession.

Now, to find a tavern my wife has not had a discussion with the barkeep about riding his stock of ale while having her large axe on her person...

Relationship Note on Coraline

I do hope she enjoys the gift I got her. It is nearly finished I hear now all the snow is gone and spring is in full swing, as it were.

Relationship Note on Mabelle

Cousin, you know very well it is not tea unless there is Laurent honey in it. I thought you above all else would know, and honey does not mix with coffee at all. I do like this game, I rarely get to win them.

Dear cousin, tea is great, coffee is vile.

Relationship Note on Lyra

I had a lovely conversation with her and she did not mind Doreen at all, and Doreen liked her. Probably because she fed her self proclaimed Queen of Acorns. I look forward to further conversations with her. Lady Lyra that is, not Doreen. I can't get away from Doreen.

My first attempted to bring commanders across the compact together to socialize and start to communicate, to look to the day in the rapidly approaching future where we all might be in the same organized force one day had mixed success. The sentiment I am told was noble and true, but there are great divides where trust between some of the great houses is little, if nonexistent. Still it was not a waste of a night and I feel if we continue to have such events, then trust cannot help but grow. If we can work a way to at least begrudging respect, then I see it as a victory in itself.

Relationship Note on Orland

I had not known my wife had taken on Orland as a squire till recently. Good for her as I see this as a bond which can better the both of them. As long as he does not mention who suggested my wife should go on a long horseback ride over hills and in forests and such.
