I find myself channeling my inner-Myrinda Grayhope today. It's incredibly satisfying.

Relationship Note on Ennettia
We are bound together by the bonds of 'shine. I have your humbler moments preserved in pristine condition in my mind. I will pull out the memory and shake it out now and then and lay it before you to make you laugh. Feel free to do the same with some of my more awkward moments last evening.
Valery has some amazing hang-over cure. I'll send you some.

Next time, protect me from my own foolish choices. Also have I told you you're an artist with that weapon of yours? Prowess beyond measure in the arena or on the battlefield.

Relationship Note on Rymarr
I was up to my eyeballs in work when I decided to take a break and read through my forwarded copy of the Whites. I was -only- trying to give you what you asked for. But yes, I'm rather proud of my swear-word vocabulary, it took many fine people to flesh out and evolve into the beautiful thing it is, and sometimes it even helps me set gemstones without cracking them.
Anything can be a tool if you use it right. Same goes for weapons too, I suppose, though I've not weaponized my swearing. I might though.

Relationship Note on Agatha
It was worth it. I was second place in the game and I made a small collection of friends who witnessed my humility. It kept me from hunting down wayward Grayhopes. I have no regrets.

I'm reading about people beloved and lost, those left behind, the mourning that goes with it, the intense grief that is the price of loving someone.
And I am reminded that in it all, it's worth it to love these people. Beautiful souls, kind hearts, smiles that just... you live for. A shoulder squeeze, a kiss, a warm word, memories of laughter and joy. And you trust these people.
You heart that? You damn-
TRUST. TRUUUUUST. [underlined, wobbly letters; looks like this was written without dictation]
Like, when you trust someone's word that they will LET YOU KNOW before they run off and do REALLY STUPID THINGS BUT OH NO. NO I had to learn it second hand and even -then- I just got lucky.
Oh my-
I am going to throw so many things at your ridiculous silvery golden haired head when I see you. I'm going to. You hear me? You better -duck- when you see me coming.

Relationship Note on Ainsley
There are not many who can claim the title of 'paladin', in the history of Arx barely a handful but twice, maybe more that I know of.
Prince Ainsley Grayson is one of them, these illustrious, favored, beloved few, and at the behest of Inspiration Himself I was honored with the task of crafting an item to preserve them in metal and stone, wrought in form pleasing to the eye.
They still remain at the Gallery of Jayus. If you've the time, it's a beautiful place, the installation and the lighting giving my work a quality I had nothing to do with.
It's a good day to take a walk in quiet contemplation; much has happened, heads are a-buzz, nerves on edge, blood still prickling at the edges of us that still live. For a long while, at the very least, I remain grateful.

I met a man in the Training Center who had the -prettiest- earlobes. I daresay they were prettier than Aureth's.
I should make more earrings.

I have a collection of orphaned workers here at my shop, and while they said 'no' when I asked if they ran screaming from Saya's corner of the city, they looked way too happy to scrub forges and organize whatever mess I put to them.

For what it's worth
understanding can be everything,
courage the beginning of the end,
killing the very things we abhor the most.
Touching the past in jade and metal,
harboring so much rage and power,
eclipsing the better parts of our success.
Give me a reason to praise the righteous,
yearning for a justice that will never be
reliving a loss with every fiber of me
encouraging the hope that somewhere you're out there, free.

The epitaph is a one of my masterpieces, though I don't carve or sculpt often. It's sandstone, and not unlike carving waxes to cast from though on a much grander scale. If anyone has wondered why my fingers are rubbed raw and I've been slow to work, they know now. I carved the face of every man, woman, and child on that thing myself, and despite the name, sandstone is -not- some soft chalk-like material to work with. It's hard and gritty and it gets in everything. I managed to carve most of it in pieces, here, and shipped them with us and put them together like a giant puzzle piece, finishing the finer details at the site with more carving and carefully inlayed metals and seashells.
My apologies to everyone that had to deal with me during that time as I was not a nice person in those final weeks. My gratitude, too, to whomever kept bringing me food. I don't remember your name, but that my clothes aren't falling off me from weightloss and that's impressive after such intense creative binges. So. Thank you.
Also, Crafters, don't let me forget; those that helped are getting a bonus. Send me a message if you don't hear from me and I'll forward the writs. I'm rather bed-ridden for completely unrelated reasons, and my shop will remain closed for a little while longer.
