Reunited with kin. It's astounding after so many years apart, growing into adults that we all fit so comfortably back together as if not even a day had passed. My passion might be in the ocean, but my heart clearly still lives with them, for in their company I feel the warmest.

Relationship Note on Cassius

As a note to myself, I must remember to someday find what I did to first inspire the Duke Pravus to doubt me and then what I later did to change his mind. I can say I have only ever been myself around the man, and there are always those who hate me or love me. The man himself, however, is a good one that protects our Compact and loves his wife. That is a man that I admire.

Relationship Note on Aldwin

The new Dominus is a man like none other. He is warm and kind and he truly cares about every soul in the Compact. I believe the leadership of the Faith could not have chosen a better Voice of the Gods, nor one who embodies them so well.

And I am glad to see him sharing his light with more of the world.

Met with my brother today at the shop, he seems to be doing well. I did have to threaten him a little to keep him out of trouble, but then what are sisters for. Walked into the city central to pick up some fabric I am most likely not going to use in some time, the white silks are so pretty and quite hard to pass up, besides what sort of artisan would I be if I left the inexpensive silks alone? As I was looking over the silks, I was run over by a large burly northerner, sent me flailing down, and freeing my silks from my arms. I was lucky however, as Lady Leta caught them mid air in a feat that would had wowed even the greatest courts.

I needed that. To simply be, without expectations or lies. Without misunderstandings, promises unfulfilled, or false pretenses. I have missed dining with friends, those I do not have to watch what I say or do for fear that I will be judged. My friends know what I am, they know my faults, and they seek me out still because of them. So thank you for the salmon.

Relationship Note on Victus

All good things come to an end, they say.
All bad things do, as well, though.
If you had told me I'd enjoy a pleasant dinner with Victus Thrax, I'd have laughed in your face, until today.

The world really did turn upside down, didn't it?

Relationship Note on Sarielle

Sarielle seems serious to everyone that meets her, but I know better. She has the markings of something far more comical. I'd like more to see that side of her again.

Relationship Note on Atrid

I met a distant cousin today, he is a lovely man. His mother was a cousin I think, to my father? He's come to the city to seek his fame and fortune, and true love. As I said, he's a lovely man, even if his dreams are loftier than most!

Relationship Note on Harald

I think I've come to an understanding with my Uncle Harald. He has crazy ideas, truly, but at least he's aiming high and is willing to listen to my requests. It's possible that it's too high, and I find myself terrified at the future. But at the same time, I'm coming around. It's not the worst outcome, certainly. He's also helped me so much with my work, that I'm leaps and bounds ahead. Which gives me more free time for other avenues.

The world went dark. Fortunately, I wasn't by myself, because I was out at the Ebb and Flow, picking up supplies. I am far less intimidating than my erstwhile protector, and so he just forced a path through the commoners. It was almost impressive! Still, I was amazed at how quickly and easily things fell to chaos. And how quickly it stopped once the world became bright again.

What caused this occurrence? I'm sure people have theories. I haven't heard any, beyond dire magic. Or that it's connected to recent events, and displays the Gods disapproval. I'm sure it will become clear.

My mind probably looks like a compass. Points and tracks in all directions.

Builders.
Shipping.
Ledgers.
Numbers.
Charity.



And jesses...

I constantly find myself seeking the sea, especially at night.

I do not know why, but she is the place I go when I need to think, or cry, or just be. It is also a place where I find great joy and inspiration. I feel at home there. Despite all the dangers, for some reason it feels safe.

Some of my most memorable meetings have happened on these beaches. And, some of my most heartbreaking moments.

I love how stirred sands and debris of the day is swept from those shores with the coming and going of the tides. The sea's resilience setting things right again. If only it was so simple for for one's life.

I wish I could be the sea for those that I care for. Constant. Always there for them. To bring great joy and inspiration or sweet solace. To sweep away their pain and sorrow. Setting things right again. Giving them a fresh start and another chance, their hearts and minds clear and clean of unhappy happenings.

I put up my first event! It was exciting to do! I had so many people show up, bringing toys to donate to the orphans. The people present voted on the toys to see who brought the silliest, fanciest, and most unique toys. I did not vote myself, though I was partial to the little giraffe donated by Lady Samantha and the warship donated by Count Maximilian. It was a fun event, children were laughing, and the adults even seemed to be smiling. It warms me that so many showed up to give favors to the forgotten orphans of Arx.

Every day gets harder and harder. Every day it feels like there's something new and terrible, crushing until it's hard to breathe. And yet we all must carry on, swallow our pain, and do everything we can to keep the remaining pieces from crumbling. As awful as it feels, the weight can bring perspective. All I can allow myself to want now is for the next day to come.

He drew me like one of those Valardin girls. Which is to say in full armor, on patrol.

Relationship Note on Ida

Dame Ida remains, and ever will be, my favorite smith in all of Arx. There's no one who I favor more to craft the weapons I desire and really, one can never have too many. She's also my perpetual go-to for experimental whiskey, spontaneous betting, ever-revolving discourse and quite simply, unerring friendship. That was always a hard word for me, but she makes it so bloody easy. I'd say I'd want to bleed anyone who does her wrong, but it isn't like she needs it. Well. Honestly, I'd probably want to bleed them anyways. She recently completed yet another commission for me. It was last-minute and fanciful, but she nailed exactly what I was looking for, as ever. Thank the Gods she doesn't punch her friends in greeting, because I hope to see her often.

Relationship Note on Freja

There's many sides to Princess Freja that I've seen throughout the time I've known her, but I've come to value every facet she decides to present. I think sometimes I forget her age, how despite her youthfulness she demonstrates a particular wisdom, courage and perhaps a brashness that is borne from being self-assured. After entertaining my own bonfires throughout time, and even pulling away less desirable persons in the process, I've yet to purposefully miss something she held. I can't follow her on many of the journeys she will take in this life, but she's certainly not one to be forgotten. Even if I have to test the very limits of my whiskey-guzzling capabilities to keep up. There's definitely worse things in life to have to enjoy. Like tea.
