Relationship Note on Margerie
The Marquis was horrid to you. While you took his chastisement with grace my honor could not stay silent. I am furious. I am beyond angry. I will always defend the honor of my family.

Never, in all my time in Arx have I felt this insulted. Demeaned and disrespected. That it was at the hands of a Marquis of Leary and condoned by a Princess of Valardin -- the Princess who repeatedly offered insult and while she did, in the end, attempt to quiet the Marquis -- to no effect, I might add -- I still find it a grievous thing. That this princess would make a crass and embarrassing exclamation at the table in a busy tavern is something to be overlooked with compassion and understanding. But to then have your "friend" attack a woman, newly entering the establishment, with no foreknowledge of the situation and insult HER and snap and try to lord his status over her for the sake of the Princess' feelings? And when I come to the defense of this innocent and I am told that the Princess' feelings are more important than the dignity of MY family? No. And it only worsened from there. And then. As if the insults were not enough, this man had the audacity to say to Kael and I, that we should not stain the honor of the House of Lyonesse and that we should go as we had been dismissed. *Dismissed* from a public house by a man not of our fealty. And the Princess? Took this as her due.
Never have I been this angry at another of the peerage. I am gravely insulted and there will be a challenge issued.

I am furious. I have never been so insulted in my life.
We are not to be brought to heel, kicked repeatedly, and dismissed.

Relationship Note on Reigna
Reigna, my dear, if you ever read this I /assure/ you it is meant as a compliment. As I think back on last evening and your defense at the tavern, I cannot help but think of the Hounds that Oakhaven is so renowned for. You were not raised with us, but your ferocity and loyalty was something to behold. I know that protectiveness applies to my nephew and young Aeryn and that gives me great peace of mind. I know that you will stand by them and for them, and since I am most pleased to enjoy the freedoms that Kael's ascension affords me, I want them well protected indeed!

Relationship Note on Luis
You're so much trouble wrapped in a man sized package. If you weren't I probably wouldn't laugh as much, and then everything would go downhill from there. Thanks for always being you Luis, it's like....a gift I'll never take for granted. The whole family made the return back to the city very easy. Everyone was so kind, I'm grateful you were a part of that.

Relationship Note on Lucita
I have to write this down so I don't forget, Luci should wear armor. There's no other way to really say it but I think it's my newest mission to make sure she's all well and taken care of. I'm very proud of all your accomplishments cousin and appreciative for the work you do for the Compact. That you have fun doing it makes me happy.

Relationship Note on Nierzen
I had the occasion to take tea with a Grayhope. Our conversation has led me to believe a bit that perhaps the name is fitting, for his hope does seem rather gray in all appearances. I will also say that he leaves the impression of both being insulted and yet above reproach for his behavior. It is rather baffling.

I recommend the Harlequins of the Queen of Endings, should you need a capable midwife. Nothing deters them in the least. Nothing.
I do -not- however, recommend the Kraken as ones midwife. Highly over-rated.

Relationship Note on Fairen
A lovely man of which I am sure. I delight that he took me up on my offer to meet and did not turn up his nose when I did not desire anything stronger than tea. I think I may have found the beginning of a friend in our shared devotion to literature. I cannot help that I rushed to sort through my books to find one that I should design to send him to discuss.

The man is brilliant. He really is. And who would have thought he could get almost as excited as his lovely wife? Don't tell anyone, Scholar, but I think the Paladin of Gloria is actually a softie at heart.

If I didn't have a mountain of growing notes and other various documentation and books starting to pile up around my work-space, I would have missed the note that I made to myself: 'Update Journal.' So, I have -- although it's more likely that I will need to spend a half a day in order to properly write down all of my exploits (bold and daring feats -- hardly, but it sounds terribly interesting, doesn't it?) since the fated return to the capital city. There's more, naturally, and there is always more to write down.
But, there's even more to do and I have procrastinated enough today. I need to return to the research.
Be patient with your Scholar, Vellichor.

Had another mini breakdown the other day. I have no shame in writing a White about this. The sheer horror of what we're up against is catching up to me and sometimes it's a little overwhelming when you stop and think about it.
Alcohol is my best friend. It's done a lot to help me forget or at least cope. Sometimes I think I rely on it too much but so far it's been more a boon than a bane.
Who needs sleep anymore, right?

Relationship Note on Viviana
I went to visit my sister today at Pravus Manor, only to find out she was not available. I should have sent a message first, to be sure, but sometimes a surprise is just delightful. I won't call it a wasted trip, however. While there, I met the Sword of Setarco.
It's always a pleasure to meet a kindred spirit. She is sure to overwhelm me when we spar next, but I still look forward to it.

I've missed seeing my cousin the years she has been gone. It is good to have her back near family and I wonder what changes her time up north have made in her. When we used to play 'Lady Manners' she would always win, but she was still fun to be around.

Watch out Arx, my cousin Amarantha has arrived. There are going to be 'interesting' times ahead for those who have the pleasure of meeting her. She loves music 'almost' as much as me.

Relationship Note on Donella
If "It was a pleasure to meet you." is what we say as a matter of etiquette, than what is it we ought say when meeting someone new is truly a pleasure? If I'd recalled today, I'd have said as much to Princess Donella Redrain.
