Relationship Note on Elgana

A very ... interesting ... woman. Definitely more than meets the eye, and I hope she finds everything she is looking for.

Dear Journal,

I have fallen in love. Tis true, tis true. And in the most unexpected of places. While ... now... I wouldn't say I was AVOIDING my dear Duke Harlan Ashford... it was really more like I was trying very hard to be in places that he was NOT... but... that's another story. Where was I? Oh right. I have fallen in love, dear readers.

Are you all familiar with Master Thayne's remarkable Raconteur Brewing Company Taproom? Yes, it was from the second I stepped into this exceptional establishment that I fell in love. Truly, Master Thayne is an artiste... an ingenieur of extraordinary creativity... a true magician. Each magical, breathtaking, spellbinding brew that he offered us was a masterpiece. I found myself humbled in the presence of such a master. But that is second to the magical experience of partaking of his alcoholic concoctions... Never have I felt such deep, abiding passion... I long for the moment that the drink kisses my lips, and I long for yet another taste long after my mug has run dry. I am unmanned, unmended and unmade.

And so, my lovelies. Yes. I am in love. Every minute apart feels like an hour, every hour feels like a day, every day feels like forever... but I will wait forever and a day for you.

Relationship Note on Avary

It is good to see another cousin return to the city -- especially one who has been as estranged as Archlector Avary. Hopefully I can help to increase her ties to Ashford -- we need all the strength we can get.

Relationship Note on Sabella

Should I be sending you this public notice I found on the history of duels, Your Highness? It was most enlightening.

There can be silly duels. It's a sporting game. And it makes Champions rich. You do like Champions, don't you?

Please do not send my husband any form of pork sword. I don't need this home dragging out in my life.

Were I ever challenged to a duel I would set the most creative of conditions. Perhaps a singing competition or a speech contest with the crowd deciding the winner.

Just kidding. Reese would be my named my champion and I'd get an apology right away. And if I didn't, I imagine I'd get one right after she won.

I worry about the issue of challenges lately, however. Have we learned nothing from war? That we should flare to such tempers and let it come to blows rather than talking things through or asking for intermediaries is troubling to me. Surely, there are times when such things are unavoidable, but it seems to me a lot could be handled diplomatically, rather than publicly trying to shame the other party. Or both.

Relationship Note on Khanne

My deepest and most joyous congratulations to my dearest friend, Lady Khanne. You have been an incredible friend from the moment we first spoke. You offer the best advice, and your wisdom is something I treasure. I count myself lucky to have you in my life -- and Lord Percephon too. As you are my sister in all but blood, he too is now subject to my esteem and affections. Until such time as he does something to hurt you and then I will shake my fist at him until you make up again.

Congratulations to you both.

I figure that may require a bit more clarification.

Pigs have similar anatomical structure to humans, elves, etc. I make my students dissect pigs.

You don't need me to go into -more- detail but let's just say I've seen pork sword duels.

Relationship Note on Joscelin

Pants fish keep you up at night?

I have so many questions, scholars.

Is the pants fish related to the pork sword? I don't know if I want to fight or have supper.

So confused.

Send answers.

You may cover your eyes, Your Highness but I can assure you I won't be. In fact as I write this I'm putting together a team of artisans to commemorate the event should it happen.

So while catching up on journals today I came across reference to a "pork sword." I commented that this sounded like some form of delicious, savory sausage I had never tried. After much chuckling from nearby scholars Herald Steve explained to me what a "pork sword" is and I will not be trying one anytime soon.

Oh! Not that I think there is anything wrong with enjoying "pork sword" if you do know that I am happy for you and I will continue to do my utmost to defend the Compact so you may enjoy "pork sword", or not, as you choose!

Herald Steve is recommending that I stop writing now and this advice seems sound.

Wellp.

Smells like a dick size up to me.

If I were the challengee I would definitely take this opportunity to invoke the right of setting the terms.

It would be a pork sword duel.

Let me hear an "amen sister" if anyone else wants to see how the Sword of Grayson measures up to a Dragon.

I managed to finally be convinced to spend a night on the town again, a part of my work I've been sorely neglecting lately. How did I let my ambitions fall to the wayside for so long? I suppose I haven't been feeling much myself.

Wine, flirtation, stories, and the strangest duel challenges I've ever seen. It is rather lovely when an evening goes just as it should.
