Relationship Note on Hana
I'm fairly certain I made a terrible metaphor about sacrifices and virgin wool underpants spun by grandmothers or something, and I wouldn't be surprised if Bess never let me drink there ever again. Ever.

I miss you, I hear a song or hear a joke and I forget, for a heartbeat, that you're not here to share it with. A story that comes up and I laugh and turn to call your name, and you aren't going to be there to answer me.
Twice, I have called for you in my sleep, my voice echoing off the walls of my home even as I wake and remember: you're dead, and you are not here anymore.
Some, I suspect, would rather I forget, wash my hands of old wounds and leave it be.
Robbed of our loved ones, what use is it to praise their absence, or forget it's an absence at all?
I breathe for you, I miss you, but I live for you, because you would kick my ass if I did anything less than live this life with all the joy to bring down mountains and shake the skies.

He's new.
Anyway, I've a few more aquamarines in my personal supply, I'll have to work on a few other pieces into my stock on the morrow. I've some older designs to dust off and recast that these beauties will look lovely in.

Travel is fine and all and I did love meeting other Crafters in other cities, learning new techniques, styles...
But I prefer home. Arx may be strange and full of .... unusual things, but it's home.
Oliver accompanied me for all of it. Well. I tried to run off ahead of him and he caught up with me by evening, and I received a scolding that scorched the walls of the inn. I'm stunned the proprietor didn't tuck a bill into my saddlebags.
Apparently, I'm not allowed to leave the city without a guard of at least two people, and after some negotiation I brought that down to one because I'm not about to waste Guild resources on a tour of major cities.
He called me stubborn.
I called him a jackass.
He stayed with me for the duration of the journey and actually played tour guide for some of it.
My head is full. I've much to consider.
Oh, also, if you tell someone beyond our borders that you're from Arx, you get strange looks and sometimes, outright laughter. I'm still trying to process all of this.
I will say again:
It's good to be home.

Relationship Note on Ida
But I am biased, I'm afraid.
She's given me a gift, my Ida, to express my heart and I gave her complete reign to do as she felt inspiration guided her.
I'm beyond delighted. I am speechless.
Thank you, my beloved friend. They are perfect.

Relationship Note on Ida
What? No I'm not serious. Can I cross that out? Well dammit-
Lord-Commander Silas Whitehawk is a dear friend of mine and he can vouch for me; I'm about as criminal as cheesecake. Gods, have a sense of humor, scholar, you're going to pass out.

Relationship Note on Alarie
So as I am aware that my people make beautiful things as often as most people breathe, I still stand at the ocean with my eyes lifted to this beautiful statue, this praise-worthy image of a Goddess we love as a city built on sea, with our own docks and ports and ships to sail upon Her.
Alarie. You have out-done yourself, your own expectations, and you've followed the whims of Jayus by letting His inspiration guide your hands. I can't be prouder of you, or more impressed.
People of Arx, and Arvum itself, when you see the visage of Mangata on our shore, when you ponder at the beauty of the magnificent statue made in Her likeness, know that it is Mistress Alarie Harall, renowned artist of the Crafters Guild, that you owe your awe to for her creation of such astounding work in honor of the Gods. She is of our city; we should all be humbled and proud both.
