Relationship Note on Silas

Boss is a silk now. Balls. The world really IS goin' to the Abyss in a handbasket now. Guess congratulatory measures an' further pranks are in order.

Oy. Dunno what some folks pray fer - most I know in the Lowers, are prayin' to the gods to be able to find their next meal. Honor's fuckin' great, but it doesn't fill a belly.

What'd me and Cal say to Rando - huh, huh - oh yeah. That they were gonna TRY and pro-- (this word is crossed out multiple times) prevent the further production of alcohol in the city. (Thanks, Scholar, you're aces.) What they want from us. Try and get the booze turned back into grains? I mean, yeah, let's do that - let's make it a thing. A'right, everyone.

DRINK ALE. Totally grains an'better n'gruel. DRINK WHISKEY. Grains. Corn. Rye. Tastier than porridge. VODKA. Hold up, what's that fancy shit made of, Scholar? Oh, potatoes! RUM. Who the fuck drinks that? Oh, sorry. Them Thraxians do. Didn't mean that. DRINK RUM if you wanna. WINE. Grapes. CIDER Apples, tho. See. Healthy shit.

Get yer daily req -- (another crossed out word) essential healthy shit through booze.

( A series of explicit stick figures covers one page - or, it's a a scribble. Listen. The person who did these is not an artist, she's a cackling Iron Guard. Beneath this, written carefully in bold print are the words: A Guide. )

In case pictures help: here they are. Scholar says that some learners are visual.

Adult hugging. The hell's that supposed to...

Oh. Sorry, Scholar.

Mind if I borrow a Thesarin-o-thingy? A thesaurus, that's it.

Relationship Note on Merek

Another one of us in th' Guard. He ain't too bad for someone that uses a lot of words (a lot. a whole lot. a looooot) on account of the dagger he gave me. I've started practicin with it by tossin it across m'room at the Crown and into th' wall on th' other side of the target I drew up an' pinned there. I might even get good enough to win a game o'darts at th' Murder.

Sparte's so funny he made me snort coffee all over the page 'fore this and all the ink ran. Shame 'cause it was a masterwork.

Which, for one: coffee. (It's so good. Scholar's gotta cuppa too. And one them iced buns on account of lettin me write this while eatin.)

For second: the page 'fore this was a list of words synonymous (my new word, see) with ass. I counted sixty-eight before I quit.

For third: Can we use that white flag in the Iron Guard barrack latrines? Askin for a friend.

Relationship Note on Silas

Th' Lord Commander of the Iron Guard. Th' big cheese ( that makes me hungry. Scholar, we allowed to bring food here. Sorry, sorry - ) and the boss man. He's got a lot on his plate, but he makes sure that we meet and talk regular. It keeps th' morale up, givin' us a chance to shoot the shit around while talking business. Weird thing is, yeah, he put up with it a lot more than he usually does. Makes me wonder if somethin's UP.

Relationship Note on Ford

Went back to train. I'm going to be doing that a lot. I need it, I really do.

So. Milord Leather. I dunno if I got his name. If he gave it - I lost the damn thing after he knocked me over on my ass after our fight. He says he don't wear armor for ease of movement and to look good. There's a whole bunch of words I can use for a person that says that - but some of them might be too rude to write down forever, so I'll use the ones that the Scholar pointed out. Those words are: dandy, rake, and popinjay.

That last one is my favorite, so, I'm going to use it: Milord Popinjay.

Relationship Note on Calaudrin

His words an' sense of humor are as pointy as those arrows he shoots. Almost like an uncle - definitely a friend a'mine. He's good people.

Relationship Note on Juliet

She came in all frills and overfancified. Silks. Lady Juliet Fidante. Milady Silk. She wanted a fight, though. So I gave her one. Even though it felt like dancing for more than half of it 'til I started to get a little (okay - a lot) more confident. Maybe a little reckless 'cause I knew my advantage. Won't do that every time, just when I know I'm good to do it. That's not showin off. That's just fact. Milady uses a lot of words. Also, she has a thing for roses? It's weird. It might be the place where she's from. Or, she really likes flowers. And leather. And a thing for spoiling.

Wait a minute -

So, Scholar says the word is accentuated and suggests I use it in a sentence. I got this. I accentuated her really good with bruises, and I gave her a shove when she smacked the flat edge of her sword against my ass.

Though Rando says her form's improving.

I'd hate to see what her form looked like before.

Relationship Note on Sameera

I'm going to get a mace with my allowance, I am. But I stopped by her shop on the way back home. She's a talent, I'd say. Got myself a fancy brooch.

Real pretty though - a silver knife with a snake winding around it. It shines like it ain't deserving to be on my cloak. It does. It's gonna be a good reminder.

Relationship Note on Valery

She ain't a haunt - or a mouse. Just a lady with a hood and a basket. But, Gods above, she's fucking quiet like those two things. I'm keeping an eye on her.

Relationship Note on Sparte

He's a green guy like me - and I'm calling him Angry Eyebrows - 'cause he was right. What good are nicknames if you don't use them face to face? I did. So, I think that means that I also get to use them in the Journals. Anyway, Angry Eyebrows shown me how to hammer out the dents in armor with this curved wooden block and a small hammer. He told me about how he burnt his eyebrows off while killing a Bringer. Which makes him less of a green guy than me - and that's okay. We introduced ourselves and had a talk about how pushing yourself to the limit - whether you break, or not - is a good thing.

I'm gonna do that. Push myself. Bend not break.

And if I get dented, like my helm, I'm just gonna hammer that shit out and keep at it.

Relationship Note on Talen

So, I got my morning exercise and had to endure getting outran by the publicly nicknamed "Dark Prince" of the Velenosa. That's a florid ( Scholar looked that fancy word up for me - instead of the word I wanted to use ) moniker ( another one ) if I'd ever heard of one. But, he can fight. And it's no real big secret for me to say that I want to learn how to fight like that. I'll even forget that he's a fancypants royal, mebbe.

He really must be bored if he's willing to take me on.

All I got to to is learn how to speak well. Wait --

I shall endeavor ( another one ) to improve my vocabulary and my enunciation ( another one. )
