Relationship Note on Kaia
Perhaps we are not as good as a tag-team as I thought in the ring. More to do with my abilities than yours.
Although this has now inspired another fine idea because of you. Couples tournament.

Relationship Note on Erik
I wrote to you today. I could not send Happiness to send it to you as you are not within Arx now. I miss you.

In the battle of good versus evil, it is true that evil is often more obvious in its power, that it may seem to have all the big battalions on their side. Perhaps all good can offer you is a noble cause and a risk of death in pursuit of that. Perhaps you could try and ignore that battle, to stand between the two and stare intently at your fingernails as you hear the sound of death around you.
But what I do know is that those who side with evil, through fear of death and in the hopes that that which is evil shares its power, will never achieve their desires. Evil will use you as far as it can, it will steal everything from you - all the good the Gods put into you - until you have nothing more to give, and it will give you either death or unending unmerciful torment.
For myself, if I must choose a path that may well end in my death, I shall choose the one that sees me die on my feet, my head unbowed, in pursuit of a noble cause. Never the one that may push that death back by trading every good thing I am, have ever done, and could ever be.

Relationship Note on Arianna
I was invited to be Princess Arianna's companion for the concert, the one she'd asked for as her boon (and, yes, the song, and the quest. I do not mean to diminish those).
It was a truly exceptional experience. Princess Sorrel and the Bard's College performed in amazing fashion. There will be talk for years about it.
And then the news to wake up to.
The life of Princess Arianna Pravus was exceptional and unique and I will miss her dearly.

I don't consider myself much of a snob when it comes to food, Scholar - living a life where you don't always know where your next meal is going to come from sort of requires you not to be picky after all.
But -Abyss-, hospital food, am I right?
Fortunately, I got wonderful friends happy to send me snacks.
Still, this is making me strongly consider learning the fine art of "Running Away." I'm pretty good at "Talk My Way Out Of Problems" and "Stay Unnoticed", but neither of those really help when a roof comes crashing down over you.

So many projects and things to be accomplished.
For us, for our people, for our vassals.
Defense and innovation.

Gossip. I can't say that I don't enjoy listening to it from time to time. I do rather not find pleasure in the horrible kind. I also do not put much stock in it. As I have been asked a bit about some gossip about me; I find it amusing. The topic of it is rather head shaking, but amusing none-the-less. Does it mean that I have become one of the nobles to know if they are gossiping about me? I fear that's probably not true, though I sort of like just being as I am.
To the one with all the lies they spread, I'm okay with it. You are not hurting me. Roses know how to handle the thorns too.

I tell you, yes. You. The man. You beautiful, lovely creature, I'll tell you! Let me tell you, please?
Heee! So, we all know, I think, yes, I do know - that my Ass is Beautiful. Well, once upon an Eve my Ass; that being Beautiful, did come across a wild-thing store. She'd been tanning the hide of some deer - I think it was a deer atleast - a deer, yes, I think. I do know, you know, and as she skinned this deer she sang a song, hummed it really, and the tune was so sweet; well, my Ass and I, we slung beneath the nearby tree and listened to this tone. Drinking (as one does when listening to beautiful women sing, really. Life Is Good.) and fell to sleep -- well! My friend, dear man with the quill, I'd awakened in one of my stupors, yes, perhaps a day late. Or just the morn after...are you ready?
LOCKED IN A CAGE! It was terrible. Well. Not too terrible, honestly the hay was fresh and the room where the cage was, was very warm. It smelled of berries, I think. Or blood. No, I think it was berries. So she had locked me away! (I still to this day have not found hay quite as nice to sleep on) Yet I had heard her humming, sharpening her knives and I could peek outside to see through a window there, Beautiful (that is my Ass, you know) with her lovely coat. Well. I was terrified this wild thing, this woman with her chest hanging to her knees, was going to eat my Ass! So I cried out her name: "Beautiful! Run!"
Well. My dear man, O Dear Man, my Ass did not run. But kicked that wild thing straight in the face! Well, my man. I have never seen a wicked woman go quiet so fast, as compared to when she tried to skin, and likely eat, my Ass.
Oh - how did I get out? I'm not really sure. I found one of my hidden flasks and took a nap, woke up down the road nearby a stream. No, no. There's no story about the stream - though I did win a pissing contest with a bear, once.

Princess Arianna Pravus was a friend. When business brought me back to Arx, she was one of the first people I hoped to visit. I delayed. Now I shall never have that chance.
I grieve with House Pravus. The world has lost something bright.
I take comfort in the knowledge that Pravosi retribution is ever absolute.

I found a good dice set,you know. In the mud when I was fond. It rolls and rolls, and rolls some more, and brings me silver by the pounds.
I played a flute down by the avenue, and pretty girls came to me. They laughed and danced, such joy in their eyes, when I slung my flute over my knee.
I met my little sister, so dark, so brave. Full of all that fire. Did you know, guy, that she once broke a man's nose for sniffing at her? No, no. I'm kidding. Lying, really. I mean, she would. It's awesome.
I don't think she likes Beautiful. Who? Oh, my Ass. My Ass is Beautiful.

I recently commissioned an umbra robe from Selene Whisper. Having sailed farther than most, it's easy to appreciate such exquisite artistry. Beautiful and daring, it steals one's very breath. Nothing could be better suited to House Seraceni.
My sincere compliments to Selene. She is highly recommended to those of wealth and taste.

Who drank some wine and started to bloat
So happy was he
He needed to pee
And found a Swan's pretty coat.
I wonder if my wife reads my journals. If she does, he didn't really do that. Hops has never done anything bad. I'm sure he's got a present for youthis next week even!
