Oh oh OH.

Well. The questions still stand, but in reverse.

I am very confused by the most recent challenge.

Did Barric do something to someone without their consent? Were the women present unable to speak for or defend themselves? Did any of them state a desire for a challenge to be issued? If they did, why didn't they do so themselves? Gods know Reese is more than capable of handing Barric's ass to him.

But he is the Sword of Grayson, so I suppose it'll work itself out one way or another.

Relationship Note on Ardoin

It does not matter what sort of 'friend' you are with someone. To conduct yourself in such fashion in public is an insult to your station and looks badly upon all of us. Contrary to your belief, the Grotto is not some 'free for all' location where you can behave in uncouth matter. The complete lack of civility you put forth in front of all is a shame for any to have witnessed.

I deeply regret that my cousin, Princess Reese Grayson, Marquessa Dominique Wyrmguard, and Lady Lavinia Rivenshari had to witness or hear such lowborn and crass words as spoken by you, a 'Prince' of such a noble and Royal House.

It is my hope that when the duel is concluded you will have seen the error of your ways.

Relationship Note on Eirene

To be fair, the exact words I used were "chuck you out the nearest window". And that was after a threat or two on your end, I believe. Something about laughter at my state of dress. I did say I would try and aim for the window above our pool.

I would threaten to go to the Pravus ball to point and laugh at certain things but I've been told I'll be forcibly ejected if I do.

I may have to try it anyhow.

Relationship Note on Agatha

I have an amazing array of the most wonderful cousins, truly. Each so skilled and special in their own way, but snowballs. My cousin Princess Agatha? She brings me such great happiness and delight with the sheer act of living as she does. She seems to embrace each day, perhaps even each minute, with an enthusiasm I near envy. She is a living, breathing spirit of pure joy and passion that I do think I would take up a spear to attempt to protect, though she would hardly need me to. I felt the need to note how very, very grateful I am that I can call her family, and how fiercely happy I am that she came to Arx to join us. She is a gift.

Relationship Note on Saya

Don't buy her work.

No really, don't.

I'm going to buy it all.

I considered expressing regret and shame at my undignified behavior the other night, but I did what I did and there's no taking it back now. I can live with that. I would however like to make my apologies to anyone I may have directly or indirectly mistreated during the event. It wasn't my intention to cause harm or offense, and I can say that with certainty despite having few memories of the night in question.

A good deal of what I do recall was extremely hilarious, that being said.

Relationship Note on Veronica

I will be happy to keep working with you so that we can thrash many people together in the future! Just wait until you get to spar with Echo, or Marian, or Reese though! They're my heroes. It's AMAZING*! Like watching people from your favorite stories out there. **Sound of SIGH**

But you should look for me in the mornings, running around the city. I will try to go through the Oathlander district more. Listen for all the kids chasing me, then you can join me. Help me make them strong little Bears! I would be honored.

*I am told that no, Princess, we should not use thirty A's in Amazing
**Scholar attempts to convey the big, dreamy eyed long and noisy sigh that escaped there.

Relationship Note on Agatha

I have decided Princess Agatha Redrain is my favorite princess.

Granted I have not met a lot of princesses in Arx, but the Red Bear princess is the first one to thrash me on the proving grounds, so that makes her my favorite.

Relationship Note on Victus

My favorite was the part where you tried to row across the floor. Floors are not very friendly for that!

It is strange being able to remember so much after being at a drinking contest. HUH!

Relationship Note on Sabella

The one you hit was my friend Arik Halfshav. You should meet him! He would be a good character in a play. Um. I mean the one you gracefully introduced to your little flying friend!

Relationship Note on Cassius

I assure you Duke Cassius, it was not intended as a challenge, but I have most definitely learned my lesson.

And it will be ingrained permanently come the Ball.

There was a time, many many years ago when I first returned to the city, that Freja and I decided to share our siblings with one another. I gave her Valerius and she in turn shared Fergus. As it seems to have become a thing once more for sibling sharing it just makes me mourn deeply for both of them all over again and a desire to hug my brother even tighter and longer than usual.

I needle no promises about staying out of danger dearest sister.

Relationship Note on Barric

Never, ever challenge a Pravus on a joke opportunity. Especially my wife. She will empty the bank accounts, just to get a laugh.


Which explains the wedding.

Relationship Note on Belladonna

It appears a solution has presented itself indeed. Such a pity that I will only ever be able to wear this outfit once. Perhaps twice. In certain company...

Probably just once.

At the very least, it should do wonders for my figure.

It seems all that I have heard about House Pravus and it's Duchess is completely true.

Well perhaps not all... Who did you even get to /make/ that outfit? My sisters are going to /kill/ me. Alaric will just laugh though...

Of course.

I have been spending SO much time with merchants and vendors lately that they seem very concerned about my well being and begged me to go home yesterday and give my voice a rest. It was so thoughtful of them to think of me as sometimes I do a lot of talking during the day and I ought to take better care of myself. I had some tea with honey this morning to make sure my throat is in tiptop shape so that I can go visit with them all again today! There are just so many things to discuss and ask about for myself and others!

Last night's Drinking and Darts competition was great fun for the most part. It was probably less fun for the person I hit with the dart. I'm still very, very sorry about that! I almost hit Luca too, but I feel like that wasn't so much my fault as the fact that he's very noticeable in a crowd and I hadn't yet said hello. I also had a wonderful conversation with my cousin Wash and Lord Niklas and now we're going sailing this afternoon! How fun! All that water! No land! Why, that just sounds thrilling!

The scholar says there's no way to indicate sarcasm in text. Oh, well, that's probably for the best.
