Relationship Note on Dio
I have found myself reeling with the news of your death and the lack of information concerning it. Days and nights bleed together in a haze of smoke and drink as they afford me dreamless sleep. But sometimes, my beloved brother, I see you raising your glass to me in the shadows with a smile. If you are truly a spirit trapped in this realm of existence, I welcome your ghostly presence however it might pain me at the realization you are gone.
Words are ash in my mouth, quill shakes, and my eyes are sightless as they peer out towards the horizon. If I was your stone in which to keep your blade sharp, your star to guide your ship home - what does that now mean for me with you gone?

Relationship Note on Yuri
Scholar,
I’ve never been one to care too much about what others think of my person. Growing up in Setarco, Ischia, and even belonging to the family that I do, gossiped intrigues are a lifeblood - many a hilarious disaster has been fueled, enjoyed even.
But, I find that I care, far more than I should, about what Lord Yuri Tessere thinks of me. It leaves me restless and wakeful, not even the ocean seems to console me for when I look out all I can think about are his damnable eyes. If he’d just dim the hue of those blues then I might be able to get a restful night’s sleep.

Relationship Note on Nina
As a musician myself I am always in constant awe and absolutely humbled when this woman’s fingers choose an instrument.
It is a gift, pure and soul deep, to be able to guide a dancer’s steps. I am a woman of Ischia and Setarco, my blood pumps to it’s ancient tunes and Mistress Nina is one whom I trust to guide me along on the adventurous exploration of song.
Thank you, Butterfly of Setarco.

Relationship Note on Scylla
Woe unto any Skal'dajan that comes across The Black Tide. I look forward to spilling blood and wreaking havoc with The Omen who has proven herself a steadfast ally both in topics of war, matters of the mind, and burdens on the heart.
There is a course ahead, however, that will come to truly test her mettle but I've no doubt that she'll pass such tests with banners high. Blackshore is made all the greater by having one as she for an ally.

You come from a line of those who move with rippling grace and whose steps can be liquid persuasion.
I’ve faith in your skill and fluidity, cousin.

Relationship Note on Dio
Your story was an unexpected gift as it painted such a nostalgic image of home - I find that I miss it terribly. But more importantly than that, my brother, I'm glad that you were granted peace.

Planning for a wedding in the midst of war preparation seems rather hopeful that I'll live through the ordeal.
I'll let you guess which one it might be - the war or the wedding.

The news from Setarco is a concerning one but fitting as the Bloodmoon draws near - disrupting the flow of the ocean itself. What else is it causing to stir into wakefulness?
Don't look at me like that scholar, I once heard a story from a local fishermen who said there was a pod of rare white whales known to make appearances. What did -you- think I was talking about?

With the way I've been lurking in archives and dusty old book shops, the dust seems to have become a second skin. But I find that even after bathing, the knowledge of what I've read and learned seem to linger proving far more troublesome to remove than ride hitching dust bunnies.

Relationship Note on Hamish
Treating and trading lives as if they are commodities is certainly something to be angry about but I don’t see that happening in any Seraceni proposals. Again, the perspective of offering opportunities and other avenues is merely that - an offer. Just like accepting the offer of prayer or the offer of money for martial services.
I appreciate your view point, however.

I don't expect everyone to always agree or see eye to eye on solutions that are offered, I'm so very terribly sorry you find yourself angered during these troubling times.

What a wonderfully beautiful idea! You're helping to teach new skills, provide others with work so they are not feeling as if they aren't able to provide for their own, and show that you aren't scared of getting your hands dirty in your offer to feed folk yourself.
Thrax is lucky to have such a supportive house supporting them and Blackshore is made all the stronger with a Minister of War such as yourself.

In troubling times such as these, it is a comfort to know that there are so many willing to lend a hand and help those who need it most. What is not a comfort, is knowing that there are those who have to try and see every action as some scheming political move instead of looking at it as merely another means of reaching out to offer those who need it new opportunities.
I champion those who step forward with bold alternatives that provide others means when it looks like the current system is ailing - no one likes to feel like they're backed in a corner, especially when what is backing you into a corner is starvation and idleness.
" Take everything." Even if it's the assistance from those who are willing and able to give it.

Relationship Note on Imogene
There was not enough time for me to get to know you as well as I'd have liked but the few images of you were always glittering and gleaming. You were a noble creature with a fiery spirit that was not easily fizzled, which of course is why you were also the best part of my brother though I'm sure he'd admit to you being all the best parts of him.
You will not be forgotten but you will be missed very dearly by all those who were deeply lucky to know you.

Relationship Note on Dio
I know that I should have returned sooner, perhaps I'd have been able to better connect with all that you've accomplished in this life and that your stories weren't just things I'd find widely talked about at parties or in bars. With the passing of Imogene, your most beloved, I aim to be here and support you in all that you do - from crushing our enemies to keeping you sharp when you need it most.
