Relationship Note on Aureth

I would absolutely trade one of my siblings (yes, I have some) for Fort and I would absolutely make him eat.

I definitely wouldn't trade my brother for anything. I mean if I did, who would make him eat?

Relationship Note on Kenna

I stumbled across Lady Kenna for the first time since the defeat of the Gyre in Setarco, although I had meant to speak to her concerning her message about my brother's hospitality. I have made myself clear. She has expressed great interest in whether my brother would look handsome with a sword-cane and asked me my opinion. Sadly, I lacked the imagination to oblige. In other matters, she has put herself at my disposal concerning something I am ill experienced in and I think has come up with a brilliant idea. She is a lovely drinking partner thus far as well.

Relationship Note on Caith

Me? Instead of Tomwell?

I'm certain I would fetch a fine price, but clearly you have very poor taste.

No, I don't wish to end up like them. I don't know if it's worth speculating on all the reasons and possibilities. For one, I cannot divine the future. For second, it's self-defeating to string myself along with doubts. What's true now might drastically change in the future.

And until that theoretical change, I will never betray such an oath.

To all:

I adore rabbits. I always have. I am fairly sure the Spirits and Petrichor adore them too. However, there is a disease amongst them that makes them hazardous to our well being. As stated in the Crown proclamation, any seen within a days ride of Arx should be hunted and killed. This is not only to protect ourselves and those we love, but to end the suffering of the diseased bunnies. I love most creatures, but would not want any to suffer so greatly when I can help them so easily.

This is important. Pay attention, I am about to use Agatha's big letters.

DO NOT EAT THEM. DO NOT SAVE THEIR FURS. Their bodies are to be cleansed by fire before being properly disposed of, as you would any hazardous item. Remember the plague blankets Abbas used that everyone was utterly disgusted by to the very fiber of their morale beings? Well... these rabbits are like hopping, breathing, nose twitching plague blankets. They must be destroyed to end the disease. One day healthy bunnies will return to the area, but first, we have to make it safe for them to do so.

As others have said. the rabbits are prey. They are food not only to us, but to many other predators. The disease could spread to a number of different creatures. The more it spreads, the more difficult it will be for us to eradicate the disease. I pray you all can see just how serious a matter this is.

Relationship Note on Tesha

How wonderful it is to have my cousin Tesha returned to the Capital. Of course, she has been invaluable in the Telmarch, helping manage our finances and affairs there. But her presence in the Tower adds even more life to it. The bustle of a present family warms my heart, and so does the fast connection that Tesha is making with my wife, Monique.

Welcome back, Tesha. The Telmars of Arx are glad you are here.

If you're looking to help with killing rabbits, but aren't particularly useful in the forest on your own--or at hunting in general--I'm making an offer to act as a guide. For free.

I don't guarantee we'll find rabbits with how many other people are killing them, or that you'll kill any (your aim is entirely on you), but as long as you don't wander off and agree to leave when it's time to go (hint: if we run into things that want to kill us, instead of things we want to kill, it's time to go), I can guarantee you'll get back home without getting lost. Considering the price, I think that deal is fair.

The Lady Malvici's concern about an epidemic is well-founded. If--Twelve forbid--the contagion is contained within the humours, then consumption of the flesh could quickly allow the disease to spread rapidly beyond rabbits.

I've always hated rabbits. The scream they make when they're getting their stupid little necks wrung... Awful.

My children will never dissapoint me. My heavy hand is out of fear for what this generation has been forced to tackle. A lot of them alone and without the guide of their parents. I am proud of their ambition but I worry that it drives them farther and farther from home, from their family. There is no hurry ohana, enjoy your youth. When you gros old, you'll have an eternity to explore beyond the horizon.

Relationship Note on Jordan

He fought my sister well for a silly man not wearing any armor. I admit a little admiration there, though.

And he did give me a few new ideas for ways I can tease my guards.

Rosemary for my rue.

Lavender in my brew.
I walk the mountain's ledge.
trying not to hear you.

Nothing like a good sparring match to clear the mind. Thrash or be thrashed, it does not matter.

I highly recommend it.

I have returned from a long and well deserved rest in Blancbier. I look back at the records in the whites and I can't help but laugh at how naive I was. I am the Marquessa Wyrmguard. It is my duty to watch out and protect my people. I will always remember this and not be so distracted in the future.

Sorrel, Bianca, and to the rest of my house, please know that you all can count on me.

Friends and family, well wishers and a gathering of curious seabirds, Laughter, tears, stories of heroism, humor, past loves, poignant moments with hugs, promises of support and protection. Whiskey, food and the reassuring presence of ones that were not expected to attend the gathering. We mourn and we celebrate. Estaban made a difference, an impact on so many lives this ....

---the words trail off unsteadily then resume with greater strength. ---

Thank each and every person who was there, you presence helped ease the sorrow and bring a bit of peace to those mourning.

I’ve returned to Telmar Tower after a year of being gone back home to the Telmarch. I admit I didn’t mean to be gone that long, but things kept me. I’ve missed so much here. Corban is married, but to a delightful woman. Monique is set on corrupting me, I guess I could use a little corruption and to live a little.

I was back here less than an hour and there was talk of marriage. It’s not a horrible thing to speak on. I just don’t know what to do in that regard. I won’t have the luxury of marrying for love I don’t think. Maybe I’ll get a good alliance for the family.

In the end if it’s good for the Telmars, then it’s good for me. I’ll deal with things a day at a time. For now, I want to help Lady Monique in getting our finances back in order and helping with getting the Valardins back in order as well.

Then everyone is happy.

I have disappointed my father deeply, and I fear, have made it far worse in the process of processing that disappointment. I need to swim.

I have been spending time with the Deepwood Manor gardeners in an effort to mend my horrible offense to their lovely work. I must say, although the circumstances are rather shameful, I am glad I have this chance to get to know them and work alongside them. I enjoy the quiet concentration it requires. It has kept my mind off of things for a brief reprieve while I wait for my actions to catch up to me. I will be arranging extra payment for their time in showing me and tutoring me and plan to continue to bribe them with refreshment for ongoing reparation. And I plan to continue tending to the hedge maze until it has been fully mended beyond detection.

Samantha has been kind enough to tell me to stay, though I found that when I returned to the Pine Suite, someone else had been moved in, so I have been made to share Emily's room with her. I plan to intrude as much as possible and become a part of the lovely flurry of color (and clutter) she has populating her suite until my father forces me to leave. Perhaps if I mix all of my stuff in with her stuff, I'll become indispensable to her for finding what she needs. I'm sure Emily won't mind.

Note: there is a locked chest in her room. I stared at it for longer than I'd like to admit. Wondering what is inside.
Also, I need to begin Emily's swimming lessons before I forget or get swallowed up by my father's expectations. Lady Zoey has offered me use of the Bisland pond for purposes of giving Emily lessons. I wonder if I have written this before. It never hurts to keep it in mind.

Also of Note: Last night I dreamed of beautiful singing and chocolate ships. Emily's room must be magical. This is much better than what I have been dreaming of as of late.
