I have something you can borrow-- no I mean have. Definitely have. I wouldn't want it back.

Hello Arx,
My name is Neve. I grew up spoiled rotten by my adopted warrior-father. I got to know amazing people, and I love my home, the Greenwood. I came to this land angry, wild, and untamed. Since coming here I have realized that I dont have a right to be angry. Being calm and in control is far better than being wild and carefree, and..well, I'm still rather untamed. I have realized that to be happy in life, you have to take it. I have to make my own happiness. I look in the mirror, and used to hate what I saw. Now I look into it and I feel confident. I look absolutely beautiful. I'm lovely. I have control of myself and this makes me strong. My beauty makes me strong. I am intelligent, and this makes me strong. I am a good woman, and I am filled with love, with a strong heart. I can finally say - I love myself. And this realization makes me feel happy.

Relationship Note on Khanne
I've been trying to think of the right good memory. I have lots that I want to hold onto and I should write about them all, really. I could go for many pages on the day I was knighted, the festivals at the Twainfort with the Rivens during the high-water season, or merry nights with my friends and my love over the past two years in this city. I've been thinking a lot about family of late, though, so I'll go back farther than all that to what seems like the beginning. This memory isn't as sharp as some. I was so young, it's one of those times that lives in the mind like a dream I can sort of half-recall and half-touch. But the feeling of it is strong with me.
My father died when I was very young, so my impressions of all of us together are few. There are some that still live in my heart, though, and this is one such. We were on the shores of the river where my tribe, the Greenwoods, lived and hunted that summer. My parents had taken my sister, Evona, and I to the water to start teaching us to swim. I remember being frightened at first. It was cold and my kicking feet could not feel the bottom, and I coughed and sputtered as I fumbled in the shallows. My father's hands never let me sink, though. They were strong and showed me how to keep myself afloat in the water. I remember my sister cackling and splashing me. She was a brat. And I remember being scolded by my mother after Evona and I got in a fight (about her being a brat) and tried to dunk each other under. We ended up laughing, for all that, and drying in the warm sun by the shore while my mother sang the old songs, and my father fished for our dinner.
It was a good day and a good memory, and I thank Lady Khanne for prompting me to share it with Vellichor for all time.

When you eventually put a ring on somebody's finger, you'll understand the joy that comes from embarrassing them in the public eye. It's a less sweaty version of battering in the arena.

You mentioned how all Valardins seem so tall! Upon meeting Thorley, I believe? I, too, am a vaguely tall Valardin! So I was trying to think of something clever to say about it, but...well. I'm better with hammer and fist than quippery, apparently.
Hooray! At first I was unsure about the colors of the chairs, but they rather grew on me! There are baskets underneath to hold bottles, too. Just saying.

I'll find a person good with clothes to put together something sexy for next year.
Not for you, for me. I've never worn something 'sexy', but I kinda wanna try.

Yes. Almost a year. I have not forgotten. It would seem that we married in the midst of turmoil and we will celebrate the year in another bout of turmoil.
What do we get if we make it to a second year of marriage?

If ever you have need to reassert yourself as the dominant man of your house, you can always steal pointers from me. I've gotten quite good at it throughout the months. Almost a year of being married now actually, which I'm shocked I didn't forget.
Anyway. First thing to do is to lose your clothes. Next, you wrap yourself in your bed and you take off all the sheets. Maintain complete eye-contact when she finds you there. You are ready. You are dominant. You are MAN.
I'm still working on the step after that. But once you make the impression you should be good to just wing it.

I need to know now; what do you mean by tall Valardins?
Also, I know which chair is yours. I love them, Ida-love. Thank you for these, they're perfect. I look forward to growing old with you to keep me company..

I finally got around to having rocking chairs made, because nothing quite says 'badass artist' like a crafter sitting in a rocking chair in front of their shop.
I don't much care for that smirk, scholar, so we are clear.
I should have more made, though in different colors maybe, now that I think on it.

Archduchess Eleyna and Prince Talon came to my shop and brought four different kind of booze!
My grandmother would never have imagined that an Archduchess would drink the North Shav mead recipes she invented.

It always amuses me when I walk into Eleyna's boudoir. The vanity is made of the purest Valardin lumber and now, of course, it holds a mirror.
Valardin lumber is never safe in the Lyceum.

A sailor disguised as a knight-
(or is it a Knight disguised as a sailor?)
-came by my shop today. He was wearing the best of Alarie Harall's creations, leather so new the man creaked when he walked. And tall. Must all Valardins be so damned tall?
Bold as brass, he absconded with my scones. Polite too; my mother warned me about sea faring folk and I always seem to forget until it's too late and I'm charmed into discounts and conversation and favors. I regret nothing. It was a wonderful way to pass the morning, and I don't have many conversations in my shop these days that -aren't- about metal and gemstone. It says much that I love the latter topic, it's just refreshing now and then to muse over other things.
If you see this tall, salt-and-pepper Knight, before sure to strike up a conversation with him. But I warn you; I felt like I could speak to him for hours.
