Relationship Note on Piccola

There are many in the city that might say with words what they mean to do to assist, but there are far less that are willing to back up those words. The General is one of words and actions and I can see a bright future ahead, should the action prove successful.

I watched another canine contest and poor Stray seems a bit disgruntled when I try to get him todo stuff I see the show dogs managing. The critter is loyal as any, but he is a street dog and remains half wild despite all the efforts Elora puts into him. That is fine, really. He is always there when it counts.

I will be helping Elora go over her family site soon, looking for clues and such. We are married formally now and so it is a duty as well as a...well, not really a pleasure but more of a value. She needs the help and I will be there for her.

I can think of few things less constructive than the competitive comparison of our sorrows.

I wonder if he tells bedtime stories.

Laziness and cowardice coax lackwits and the indolent to remain children long after nature demands otherwise.

It is easy to be immature. Had I have a book to serve as my understanding, a priest as my conscience, a physician as my keeper, and so on, I need not exert myself at all. I need not think if only I can pay: others will readily undertake the work for me. And those who have so benevolently taken over the supervision of others take steps to describe each step to maturity as very dangerous, not to mention difficult.

It is a lie to make us timid and frighten us out of all further attempts.

Relationship Note on Mabelle

I have a dog! a wonderful dog that loves water and is large enough I can play with a bit rough.
Well, before I get carried away too far, I have to remember that I will to give Taffy back to her owner. Maybe I will just have to find reasons to speak to her owner now and then and go for walks.
Not that that would be the only reason for why I would want that but it is the most harmless of them.
Now who is a good girl?

Relationship Note on Aella

Aella is someone who can appreciate the sea just as I can, something we were able to connect over. I see where we are similar, where we are different and where we can complement each other in our abilities. I am looking forward to a working friendship with her.

As my materials from the Shores begin to arrive, I find myself once more in need of models for my newest ambition. It shall be a work commemorating my family's bravery on the Isle of Horderacht many months ago. Hm.. the grotesque shav cave-dweller may be a challenging part to cast.

Our words -- hanging like high notes, poised in the air -- have the ability to spring our souls to action, or are able to splinter it.

Use them with care.

I think that I can finally -- finally see the floor of my suite of rooms.

Just.

Never open the wardrobe door or you'll find yourself smothered by silks and leathers.

Wise generals must at times take positions which are neither safe nor politic nor popular, but which are right.

Relationship Note on Ember

I was so touched by the reception I received upon my return from the Shores. My cousin is a rare individual, indeed, to harbor such ferocity of spirit and yet remain capable of sincere moments of vulnerability. Though we have our many, many, many, many-many differences -- to be reminded that our bonds transcend those differences is the most precious welcome back gift that I could imagine. Of course, an actual gift would also have been just as appreciated.

To think I so often daydreamed about chest-bumping her overboard.

Relationship Note on Keely

(A note curled around the rooster's back upon small cloth pouch is found at the archives as the bird won't stop cooing until someone takes the delivery.)

- Within said note:

I have learned names of many creatures within the Menagerie. Waddles only tried to make friends with three of the animals, and unsuccessfully attempted to eat sixteen butterflies. Prince Noah was nothing but absolutely kind in his following and staring at animals. I honestly believe the man might have been somewhat sober...

I saw a woman punch an old man in the Lowers. He said he was a scrapper and she walked right up and knocked him smooth out. It was amazing. These are the things people miss out on in "fancier" neighborhoods. Be jealous.

I have been away from the city, mired in the endless demands of the Scholars, tracing the stars, following the reconstitution of Graypeak, whatever one cares to call the business of court and country. It causes me a sense of poignancy and, if I am honest, a touch of paralysis to stare at the familiar and wonder what has changed. A month away, a season away, and it might as well be a lifetime.

Correspondence remains to be sent, though I whittled down the stack of letters. So many lives and stories await to be heard, mysteries to unravel, dramas to watch. These are minor, trifling indulgences in a tapestry of wonders.

While Bastion remains an aching void in the heart, I reacquaint myself with the hopes and wonders of this city. Of its people.

And though I am a stranger, will it always be so?

There is no other feeling quite like having sand between your toes and wind in your hair.
It is a feeling I base so many others on, and compare them doubly so.

A good week with new people met and new plans made. I am going to help ELora with her investigation into the family tragedy and maybe look into buying a ship. Nothing of huge moment, but interesting developments anyway.
