Relationship Note on Anze

Prince Anze - Brother to Princess Freja. Unsurprisingly, he's bright and fearsome like the rest of his siblings. Gods, and they're both so bloody tall. He falls prey to that typical fix-it mentality that many do, instead of just listening and letting things go. But that sibling affection and protectiveness is one that I can appreciate. Especially if one can recognize that perhaps all it takes is a couple punches to feel better sometimes. At least you know his wedding will be good. The Redrain Family certainly know how to make good whiskey flow.

I wasn't sure initially what to expect. The lead-up to the entire thing felt like it belonged on the stages of the Black Rose rather than announced to the populace itself.

Duke Niccolo's reply was quite good though. It had that professional air and practiced decorum where others might've just waved their hand and been annoyed. He slighted no one.

When Talen lost upon that first blood to that excellent cut of Princess Reese, again the announcement only brought honor. The Princess fought well. Kinda glad I didn't bet on that one.

I've never been much for animals, they're useful for certain things but I always felt they should be in nature and not couped up but back home one little bastard won me over. Its an oddly fortunate guess that I was given Gustaf. The fluffy little bastard seems to be making himself right at home in the Malvici estates, I wonder if I can train him to be a sneaky jerk...

Relationship Note on Atrid

Difficult to understand this one. We shall see if his offenses are repeated or not, I remain skeptical. An offense unclaimed or denied as a misunderstanding, often is. More difficult to avoid if you're not certain how it happened, no?

Relationship Note on Valdemar

In a surprising turn of events, my cousin took my side! I don't know who was more shocked, Uncle Harald or I? It was sweet, although, I don't delude myself that it could change at any time. And I narrowly averted a duel, even so, it's nice to have someone willing to defend my honour.

Things change so quickly. Already my purpose is growing in leaps and bounds, my tasks assigned exponentially increasing. And I love it. I can't wait for more!

Relationship Note on Ford

Somewhat infuriating younger brother. I love him to death, no matter how much I sometimes want to box his ears.

Lord Luis,

I read your last Journal. I apologize that my poem was vague.

It is with a heavy heart and great sorrow that I report the passing of Lady Lili Bisland and Lady Sarielle Bisland.

They perished together in the Gray Forest trying to find their parents.

Relationship Note on Mydas

Lord Mydas Nightgold is not one I've encountered, likely for various reasons, but perhaps, it is only in the shadow of tragedy that meaningful discourse could be had. He joined in a lively discussion on the nature of the Thirteenth with Lord Percephon and me, and brought unique and utterly impressive perspectives that forced me to think outside my comfort zone. He's not someone to be discounted easily, I think, and his conversation and debate was respectful, powerful, and a delight to engage in. It is my hope that we will have many more in the future. A refreshing day, overall, to find my mind enraptured by thought exercises and the reexamining of my beliefs. I feel all the stronger for it.

Relationship Note on Cassius

Duke Cassius and I would have little reason to converse these days, I think, but, a random chance encounter in the Shrine of the Thirteenth proved that unlikely companions can find a measure of begrudging comfort in one another. Both of us, struck by deep tragedy, found connection in fanatic faith. We have -very- different perspectives on many topics, but can look upon the other's, understand why we might hold those views, and be cordial in our disagreement. His fanaticism presents itself in far different ways than mine - though, I suppose that is only natural when one is martial and the other socially minded - but we both agree on the need for the gods themselves. I look forward to more conversations with him, and sincerely hope that feeling is mutual.

Relationship Note on Percephon

Lord Percephon Telmar and I first encountered each other in a whirlwind of activity in Illusions. We finally re-met, for the first meeting could barely be labeled as such, in the Shrine of the Thirteenth. The man has a keen philosophical mind, that asked challenging questions with an enthusiasm to hear honest responses, and rethink his position when presented with logical arguments that may have run counter to his original beliefs. Good gods, is the man a refreshing soul, and we desperately need more of his like in the city. I would no more turn down another conversation with him, than I would turn down a drink of water on a blistering day, or a fur blanket in the depths of winter.

Perusing some of these journals--it's been a little too long.

It seems like one of the Bislands died. Hopefully I can find out who and send my friend my condolences.

Death seems to be happening more and more these days.

Relationship Note on Isolde

I recently had a chance to meet with the Princess Isolde. While at first glance most might make assumptions as to her nature, I found the woman to be pleasingly open minded and forward with her answers. She was clear when she did not know the truth of some of the inquiries I made, was more than happy to help expand on some other ideas, and in all? Was a wonderful conversationalist and willing to engage in debate. It is discussions such as those with her, where I come away wiser for it -- even if I have more questions than answers still -- that I look forward to.

Roland has decided shoving his face in people's groins is a friendly gesture.

There's a time and a place for such things.

Not, obviously, for dogs.

Or... you know... to each their own.

I'm not judging.

Additional thoughts:

I don't wear shoes.

Other people wear shoes.

People who wear shoes are better at talking...

Are shoes magic?

I seem to offend people.

It's terribly distressing.

I think I use too many words.

I don't miss my long hair as much as I thought I might.

Which is good. What if it all suddenly fell out?

I'm glad to know I could continue in the face of such adversity.

Sisters fight.

Sisters defend one another fiercely.

Sisters love each other, no matter their state of conflict or peace, and it's beautiful.

These have been my observations.

I'm not sure why they upset the Duchess so, but people do like a duel...
