Relationship Note on Hadrian
I undoubtedly think it is an honor and a pleasure both to have met you, and I enjoy your sense of fun, as without you there would be no Donkey Knights, and the barbs you exchange with my cousin. I'm a year late, so I've been told, but welcome to the family, Marquis.

I missed out on the free-for-all, which is a shame.
I didn't miss out on the hubbub surrounding it, which isn't.
Her Highness, Princess Reese, has never acted as anything but the very model of grace, compassion, and courage while I have been around. And given that I'm a mere commoner knight, I don't think she'd feel the need to put on airs.

When an event meant to showcase the martial abilities of the people in the city is overshadowed by the 'afterparty', you know there are some things you'd rather have missed out on. But I won a bet, and that's what matters. Here's to more in the future.

Please provide your definition of spoiled in this case so we might better understand how you have deemed Princess Reese as such. As it stands I concur that she has a lot of wealth. What I can not agree with is an observation that she characteristically is obsessive of her wealth or requires a lot of personal attention for the sake of satisfaction.

Relationship Note on Alarie
Yes, I suppose the people who don't have the ability to buy enough things to keep an economy healthy (or multiple ships for that matter, for fuck's sake), just can't understand the largeness of a heart with enough money to constantly do things like that while still never wanting for anything in the world. Daring to point out just how much such a person has must clearly only come from an ass load of jealousy, and not the reality that most people happen to live in.
As for those worrying about unity? I think unity can handle an argument. If it can't, how can it handle a war?

I would note that in the figurine, Kima is wearing far more clothes than I think she'd want to for such an immortal display.
Did she ever show you the designs for the 'dress' that was basically one singular well-placed chain that hid literally -nothing- from sunlight?
Ah, Kima. I miss you.

I think being entitled or spoiled would mean being ignorant to one's high position, or, I don't know -- abusing privilege to one's own advantage --
Screw it. We're all spoiled. Comes with title. The brains can handle those kinds of philosophical thoughts.

Relationship Note on Reese
(Overheard and added to the Journal entry 1.11.1008
Listen, Gus-Gus ruined a perfectly good nap to drag me out here. No, I am not going to go combing through the Journals. I have better things to do. Just hit me up with the highlights.
Oh, for good Gods sake. Fine, fine.)
I don't need to ride out to my lady-wife's defense. Save the sofa, Tal. She has armor, she has a sword, she has a white steed. She only seems quiet and gentle, but we all know perfectly well that she has her own voice to roar with. (Depends. Do griffins roar? Do badgers?) She can stand up for herself unless she asks me to. Only then, I'll be standing at her side -- or her back if that's a better defense -- but never in front of her unless it's to take the hit. She's worth it.
If she's good, well. You're welcome. I gave her the training. She came with the heart and grit. I can teach you too. Maybe.
All right. Headed back to bed.

Apologies are not magic, they do not heal hurts caused by word or deed. They do not erase patterns of behavior that cause rifts.
What apologies are is a promise. A promise to the person you have wronged that you earnestly attempting to make amends.
Apologies are a vow before Limerance, Lord of Fidelity, that you will strive to be a better person.
Apologies are not magic. They are the bitter medicine of swallowing your pride as you examine yourself and your actions.
A true, earnest apology takes time and thought. Brought with a balance of humility and pride.

So many journals!
I do not believe in taking sides. Why? Well in this case it is because there is just one side. The Grayson side.
Everyone here has family, and we all know that family squabbles. We don't always agree, it's just not possible. While I would have preferred this particular argument to be in private, sometimes things happen, and these two souls should sit down and talk it out.
I am sure that after time and a bit of diplomacy, cooler heads will prevail and this whole incident will be a thing of the past.
Well, that is what I am hoping for, at least.

Relationship Note on Shard
No, she's not spoiled. She's generous. She's large in heart. She's always in, buying something for someone. New members of the Grayson military are recruited and she's in buying them armor. She goes from shop to shop and buys this and that. Why? I asked her once. She said it was because she will see something for someone and get it for them. Princess Pink, Ribbons, Pinky, whatever she is being called now, has been a valued customer of mine and she will continue to be a valued one. Because I know when she comes in and has an order for armor or a dress or a shirt and pants, it's because that woman is making sure that someone's ass is covered and isn't gonna die immediately of being a fucking pincushion or run through. She gives away stuff, because sometimes the stuff she buys, doesn't end up going to someone or she bought something from a shop to show her appreciation and to keep Arx's economy healthy.
dunno what started this shit with her and the rest of the people in the whites that it's all anyone's talking about in my shop but if people got a problem with Princess Pink, it's probably a whole ass load of jealousy.
You reading this pink? Next fucking ship I buy? Its the Reese. And she'll be painted bright gods damned pink, so everyone see's it coming and knows it's the harall merchant fleet.

A journal mentioned a new series of figurines... They're not ones that I released, so I'm curious where they're being sold. Anyone that knows want to let me know?
I absolutely promise I won't send anyone to rough up the person crowding into my market share in any way. I'm simply interested in comparing the quality.
Honest! I would never threaten anyone about such a thing.

Fair enough. I do not find 'wealthy' and 'spoiled' to be the same; I have always viewed spoiled as a type of behavior or personality trait, rather than a function of how many possessions one has. If we are speaking in terms of how much someone has, the way that I used the word is entirely inappropriate, I agree.

Relationship Note on Belladonna
You have to have things before you can give them away. And, as I said, her stated reason for giving them away was that she no longer had room for them. She's done this a number of times; giving things away is not wrong, I'm not saying it is, I'm just pointing out how /much/ Reese has, and how frequently that overflows even her ability to hold onto it. And how ridiculous it is to say she's the least spoiled, even when it comes to princesses; I don't see every princess in Arx, and there are quite a few, having this problem. Are the rest of them burning their extra possessions instead?
I don't hate Reese. I'm not even angry at her. But there's coming to her defense, and then there's jumping to the opposite end of the accusation to do it.

Dame Eleanor is another who, like Felicia, did not come to the Hundred in the usual way. But for all that she is determined to be the best Knight she can possibly be. And the most loyal, the most faithful. I'm proud of her strength. More than that, I'm proud of her flexibility. She has had several shocks to the system of late, and handled them all with grace.
Pretty soon now she'll have her sink or swim moment. But she was born on the water - I know she'll swim.

She is bold, and brave, and smart, and good. She is, in effect, everything I would hope one of the Hundred to be. She came up from the Lowers, not a standard path to Knighthood. And yet she treasures her path and her responsibilities, and does well and right by them. I'm proud of her, and while I know she faces personal challenges - don't we all? I believe she will discharge both duties and personal responsibilities with honor and integrity.
