Relationship Note on Sparte

There has never been such an unassuming guardsmen... when, in a way, makes things amusing to watch when he exceeds all expectations.

No one expects the farmer soldier to best the boastful master swordsman. But I guarantee that will eventually happen.

Relationship Note on Reese

Princess Reese has been a great asset to the Iron Guard ever since she has joined. She is endearing, kind, and has quickly become a formidable combatant. She has helped bring several recruits into our fold and checks in with me frequently on the assignments we undertake. I have no doubt she will reach whatever goals she sets for herself, with flying colors.

Relationship Note on Aleksei

I seem to be running into Sir Aleksei rather often these days! It would seem we have a few interests in common. Fortunately he's a fundamentally good-natured fellow, so it's starting to feel quite natural to work with him even if we don't have any actual organizational sort of bonds between us.

I think I'm also definitely gaining some insight as to why his life seems to be as chaotic as it does.

Stopped by my dear elder sister's studio for a quick visit today while I was nearby on an errand, it's been far too long since we had a chat.

Of course, I almost immediately received a gentle interrogation about how my love life was doing. Ahh, family!

(Caprice, if you're reading, I don't kiss and journal either.)

Today my path brought me across the Shrine to Mangata and I was glad to have found it. There is peace beneath her branches. Listening to the birdsong and watching the fish swim in the koi pond was more soothing than I thought I might feel on land. I shall make this a daily ritual, something about that spring makes me feel so safe and comforted.

May your hopes find safe harbors.

Relationship Note on Jeremiah

I had personally sought out Master Jeremiah and found him perfectly ensconced between inkwells and paperwork. It paints a worthy picture of someone who works in the capacity he does upon the Council. The husband of Bethany Mercier, he struck me as someone hard working, if somewhat youthfully preoccupied. I've browsed through some of the writings he's completed in the Stacks and assume with a mind like that, getting all those mental meanderings all into proper spoken word is a more daunting task. He has rather strong, pointed goals and speaks of understanding the meaning of compromise. Whether or not that's true or not is something time will tell. That kind of game has never been one with a short, easy resolution. He's one that I'd love to mind-comb over time, and perhaps find a more solid friendship with. Again. We'll see, no?

Travel can change you. In fact, beyond tragedy, travel is perhaps the most potent harbinger of personal change. It is at the same time both beautiful and strange that this is true.

Though I am not surprised by how often beauty and strangeness seem to arrive intertwined, travel is something that would appear to be rather innocuous and common. But it is not. I am consistently surprised by the stationary nature of those that I meet, both physically and mentally.

I was born to ride the waters. It is in my blood. And my father's blood before me. For a while, it was all I knew...

As the sea reflects the sky and all who gaze into it, those who ride it are also given an opportunity to reflect upon themselves. I feel as if my most recent journey to Maelstrom has changed me in ways that I have yet to comprehend. That must be a surprisingly common thing. Changing without knowing how.

It had been too long since I felt the rhythm of the ocean beneath my feet. There is something so dead about the land. But the ocean? The ocean feels so alive... As much as I have started to see Arx as my home, it will never feel as familial as the sea.

It's odd. I find myself reflecting upon the very nature of reflection itself.

What could it mean?

Relationship Note on Valencia

The Princess is more than she seems at a glance. A joyous person who adores her roots - I have rarely heard of the North being praised the way she yearns for it - she strikes me as the type who will return loyalty tenfold if she is given it. I hope the realities of our world do not change that one; it would be a shame.

Relationship Note on Juliet

I finally had the chance to meet the Lady Fidante, and the opportunity did not disappoint. It makes me hopeful that the connection between her Salon and the Scholars can be forged into one of strength in communication and knowledge, to encourage informed debate on the pressing issues of the day for Arx. I look forward to a more official change to sit and discuss with her, and am left with little doubt we might spend hours speaking on a variety of subjects.

Relationship Note on Cristoph

I know that my ideas on things are different, my lord, but you'll find that if you humor me and allow me to show you my point of view; we will be fast allies. In expanding Lyonesse holdings, we expand yours as well and offer up the Oathlands the opportunity to flourish under the helm of our direction. I hope our upcoming conflict will bear fruit as well, perhaps giving up a much needed victory and vital information.

Relationship Note on Anabelle

Oh sister, how the times have indeed changed and the carefree nature we once enjoyed, dashed upon the timely hourglass sands. We must stay strong, together. I hope you don't lose sight of this. I can come off shrewd and assertive at times, but only in the best interest of our House.

Relationship Note on Demura

The Marquessa I have met is a curious woman. Part of a house known for its people's martial abilities, she seems to want to patron me of all people. I have accepted, and she is now sponsoring me and my shoppe.

Relationship Note on Julea

I'm always running into Julea at the training center, and she introduced herself a flamesmith, which is a way cooler way to say blacksmith than I've ever heard. She has one of the best, most coolest weapons I've ever seen. It was diamondplate!! She suggested we spar more, and I'm pretty sure she's gonna embarrass me. The littlest blades always take me apart the fastest.

When I started on my journey, I did not expect that I would find love here. Aside from those that I loved already that were waiting for me, I was coming for business, to be with my best friend and confidant, and somebody that I love dearly. That was the arrangement, and I was content to know that at the very least I would have Calista and Juliet waiting for me. I would also see, of course, Angelo, Leo, and Dante. All of them are dear to my heart, in their own way.

What I didn't expect was that I would meet a woman and fall in love anew. It was eye opening, and when I met her I never imagined that I would feel for her as I do now. I always knew that I would take a wife, rather than a husband, and I'm beginning to hope that I've found my future partner. Things are still new and young and I don't know what the future brings, but I'll dedicate so much of it to making her happy, and someday... calling her mine. I wasn't looking for marriage material, but now that the idea has entered my mind, I can't get it out.

Relationship Note on Esera

The ArchDuchess terrified me, but in the best of ways. She possessed a certain aura that's painstakingly hard to define. In all of the times our paths had crossed, she commanded a presence that lingered in your mind, filled up a room, and invited thoughts to freely wander to darker corners. She was one of the only people I've encountered that could force me to hold a breath simply with the cut of her smile. This tragedy left poignant wounds in those who loved her that were left behind, but she created unmistakable memories simply by those who witnessed her. She was an incredible woman. Masterful, really.

Relationship Note on Jael

The Lady Laurent has proven to be a most humorous acquaintance. Ever the optimist, I think, but this is a quality in short supply these days, but in heavy demand. So too is her sense of humor strong, her willingness to try new things. Her attempt at the Gauntlet was admirable. We are lucky to count her as one of us in the greater family that is Valardin, and I only hope that she doesn't wither away after seeing my painting in the Valardin dining room.

Relationship Note on Eirene

Auntie! Her mouth is as fearsome as her presence. There's so much I want to learn from her. I'd love to be like Aunt Eirene one day, with all her wisdom and her candor. She could make sailor's blush.

We understand each other I think. She bares so much responsibility, I was afraid our relationship would be strained. The weight of her burdens has forged her fire stronger. She's a woman to aspire to.

I missed your yelps, my sweet cousin Ini. Why you tolerate my bratty affection I'll never know, but I wouldn't change a thing about the man you've become.
