Relationship Note on Apollis

The other night I had the pleasure of running into Apollis after far too long, and under far too sad a circumstance.

I know what he is going through, to have lost his beloved so recently and find himself so lost about what comes next. I told him it gets easier.

It does. I just didn't tell him how long it takes.

Relationship Note on Edward

I don't believe I know you but I agree with you. Regarding our greatest danger. I'm not sure if its for the same reasons, but nonetheless.

Relationship Note on Braith

Light and life and tales and songs that make my heart smile, even in the darkest times.

I am not a woman given to whimsy, but dear Braith brings merrier spirits out in me.

I finally begin to feel more rooted in Arx. Even if my heart remains in Giant's Reach, I am surrounded by love and strength, and I know we shall do as we're called to and more in the days ahead. Mountains do not yield.

I won't stop being smug for a while, yet. Probably not ever.

Relationship Note on Cassima

This is the cousin who I had met the first time. Not the cousin in the other journal I wrote. And I was happy to meet her. She bears much resemblence to her Sanna relatives.

Relationship Note on Braith

My talented cousin who I had not met for the first time and had actually known her for a while. Filed that white journal wrong!

Relationship Note on Braith

My charming and delightful cousin who I had met for the first time. I enjoyed her company as short as it was and hope to see her again.

Relationship Note on Carita

My new patron. I am still learning about her, but so far she has impressed me. I've heard that she is a former Thrall, and that was probably the biggest factor for my decision. As a former thrall myself, how could I refuse the patronage of her? I hope our new relationship works well.

Relationship Note on Alarissa

Sugar . It will feel like sugar that was thrown on a table with fruit. Next to fruit. A fruit table. With the forward door.

I should probably wait until I am seeing less pink.

Relationship Note on Margerie

Too late.

Marchande popped the cork for me and swiftly ran off. It taste very good, with a splash in tea. Strong tea, but very good in tea. This might be an occasional treat.

One does wonder how it tastes with Kennex mango vodka...

We have sent out the call, as we should. And now begins some of the much less glamorous work that goes into a successful mustering of troops. The endless lists of supplies, the checking and re-checking of numbers. Planning out travel routes and supply routes and mustering points and advance scouting. Some of it will be done on the way of course, since it's impossible to predict everything in advance. But, things go so much smoother when you make a plan and try to anticipate the needs of a (hopefully) large force of armored individuals (and also warhorses!).

The part I enjoy will be addressing our troops and vassals directly, making sure they understand what's at stake and reminding them of the reasons we fight. And, why we win. When we are motivated and inspired we fight twice as hard. I pray I am up to the task.

Praise be to Gloria.

Highness,
Do not pop the cork. It is a trap. A vile pink trap.

If my warning comes too late, wish your tasteblossoms a speedy recovery.

Relationship Note on Titania

To think how recently it was that I was livid at the very sound of your name, and thoroughly enjoyed offering the cut of a Pravus trained tongue when dressing you down as I deemed appropriate.

I've never claimed to be a kind person, few of us do where I come from. Yet I consistently regret how cruelly we argued, and am grateful that those moments are somewhat behind us in time and very far behind us in emotion.

I treasure you deeply Titania, and always will, however close or far apart our pathways take us. You are not merely 'sweet' as I've seen you praised, though you are that. You are also wise and brave, and learning to stand your ground. Should we find the time, the latter may be one of the things I can offer you further guidance on, for thriving under fire has been a hallmark of my existence. I know there is much I could learn from you as well, and hope to.

Later still.

Reigna's friend Khanne is a very good person to drink with. She tells the best stories.

Something pink was deposited on my table, after someone took a survivor of the darts and drinking tournament home and I have been advised against opening it, much less drinking it. An addition to the Thrax collection of liquor.

No, the survivor is not Victus. He's still very much down there taking a moment to enjoy himself.

I think I will do so as well after I pop this cork.

How do you pop the cork...

You can take a Lycene out of the Lycene and put her among the Mourning Isles, but you can't....hrm that has too many words to be a proper quip.

What I mean is, I find myself having a great deal of important strategic meetings lately on behalf of the House, and spend much more time than I expect not just any Thraxian but any -anyone- making sure I have the perfect outfit for each occasion.

Ah well.

Second place in Murder of Crows Dart Throwing Contest! And regretting my life choices in the drinking contest! That cupcake liquor was the worst thing that I have ever put in my mouth.

Relationship Note on Reigna

The Hour: Later

Reigna is not pink. She is a very normal color. She is a very earnest, good, feeling color.

Arranging mar. Arranging Weddings. They do not always go well.

We did very well.

I can't tell if she likes me, hates me, or talks to me only when she's bored or has to.
