Relationship Note on Watcher
I am truly blessed with the friends that I have made. I'll be traveling to Grayhold soon to see what has become of our keep. A friend passed a long a lucky charm that probably isn't really lucky, and has demanded to them that I return it to them after the trip. In person. Not Dead. In Person.
The in person part was emphasized more than once. We exchanged a few joking words over it and then they calmed me down after getting some pretty distressing news.
I am forever grateful.

I will never grow tired of helping other mothers bring their little ones into the world. The most recent notable birth of Lady Adalyn and Lord Vitalis Clement's daughter was, like all others I have attended, nothing short of divine. It is a bit harder to perform all the necessary tasks, now. I may need to admit my limitations and perform only administrative tasks for the next month or so. A shame, that, but I am glad to have been able to ensure the health of the Clements before this point.

More trouble stirring and it seems trips to the south. I'll have to head down as well it may be difficult to find a way to keep an eye on everything at once but should present an opportunity to learn more. Moreover it certainly represents more advantage to Southport with all the travel both travelers and navies... I should figure out a travel package...

I walked this morning into the Queensrest Inn to, of all things, applause. I am uncertain as to what I have done to earn such acclaim but let all be rest assured, I shall do everything I continue my duties to the people who think me worthy of such treatment. Though I will always miss my home, this city has done much to make me feel welcome back.

Two of my cousins have returned to the city and the House is bustling with activity, these days. I hear laughter echoing down the halls. There is song. There is dance. There is the sound of metal clanking together. The sight of friends and the smells of food from home. These moments... These are the moments.

I've always been a firm believer in the idea that if one pays close enough attention, one can find hints in the world. It is often for lack of mindfulness and observation that we find ourselves fumbling. Certainly this is not to say that there are not plenty of secrets which try their hardest to conceal themselves from wandering eyes, but even those may sometimes be sussed out by a keen enough scrutiny.
Sometimes, however, one gets the sense that the message one is being sent is to take a step back. Remove oneself from the board, for a time. And I sense it would be foolish not to obey that sort of intuition.

Beesborough of all places. It was a wonderful little village, full of upstanding and decent people. Only the truly vile and inhuman could abhor such goodness and perpetrate such horrors as those. Those responsible will answer for their crimes. The Sentinel's justice may be delayed, but never denied.

Relationship Note on Tanith
My wife doesn't deserve me, Scholar.
She deserves a much better man.
But she seems to want me anyway, which is both really confusing and an utter joy.

I will never understand the want of wearing wearing metal. Head to toe, clamoring loud metal. I don't think I've ever felt so clumsy in all my life. And that's embarrassing for even me to admit.

Well that was fun, Scholar. My wife keeps a bar, runs a shop and writes books to make a living; me, I work for the family, and occasionally hire out for some mercenary stuff. Hopefully some happy silks will give me a bonus after that job, because our pad needs some work doing before winter sets in.
To anyone who bothers reading this: always pay your mercenaries when and what you said you would, and don't be stingy if they save you from seven shades of shite.

Once in the Blacks, now in the White record. A small will for dangerous times --
My steelsilk, such as can be recovered, is to go to House Proscipi for the use of those who may need it.
My alaricite weapon is to go to Lord Haakon Eswynd, until such time as my salt-children are old enough to have use of it.
Everything else is to go to Lord Orland Amadeo, into whose keeping I commit my possessions and my memory.

I have always been grateful for the many good people I hold dear. It is something that I have treasured throughout my life. To be beloved and trusted and to trust and love in return is one of the most beautiful things in the world.
Thank you, Prince Patrizio of Pravus. Your words are wise and mean a great deal to me as does your very kind invitation. You have given me a great deal to smile about and think on.

Relationship Note on Aella
In case you didn't hear, my sister is home! And she said she's PROUD of me. You know, that's sort of nice to hear! Thanks Deva, for saying all those nice things about me. And you know, the responsible things I've been doing. Or will be doing rather. It's going to be nice to have parties and whatever again.

I have, for most of service to my house, been a soldier in one form or another - in service in the army during the seizing of the Saffron, as a knight and commander of a force before coming to Arx, and as general during the recent Skal'dajan conflict. None of these, prepared me for the very different kind of campaign that is diplomacy.
And it is a campaign, dear scholar. There are dispositions of forces on the field, strengths and weaknesses to be understood, pitfalls to be foreseen, allies to be made and supported, and consideration of the outcomes for any given strategy.
To be candid, I had my doubts when our Archduchess named me to be Voice, but as I grow more into the role I am reminded that the so-called softer skills of diplomacy and politics are often just as complicated and bloody as military command, though the tools of the trade are of a very different nature indeed.

It's a bittersweet moment, reaching the last page of a journal. Knowing that you've filled it with everything you can for months or years but its time has come regardless, and it's time to wish it well and have it take its place on the shelf.
Fondly remembered on occasion, but distant now from your routine.
That's how it is, I suppose. I'm sentimental enough to miss it when it goes, but not so inextricably chained to it so as not to seek a new one, with room to fill more stories.
