Relationship Note on Sparte

Don't listen to my sister. Exercise to forget. It leads to passing out just like drinking. You wake up the next day aching. It spends a lot more energy and improves your body.

Relationship Note on Eirene

I don't have any spare sword rattles but I do know a skilled crafter that could make you some.

Relationship Note on Joscelin

You are /not/ old. Because if you are, then I am too. I have far too much invested in my current duties to allow a minor issue like age get in the way.

Relationship Note on Gwenna

Thank you. Knowing that I have such partners helping me day in and day out makes my job so much easier. While we come from different backgrounds and skill sets, there's just an easy way we compliment the others shortfalls. I am grateful for the positive influence you bring in my life.

Relationship Note on Victus

Being a parent is probably one of my most rewarding of jobs. Like you, I tend to be hands on with the twins and Nia. Although, I am finding that juggling two babies at once isn't the easiest thing. My laundress makes a few rounds throughout the day now so my clothes get tended to right away rather than sitting. That smell...it's worse than dried blood or rot. You can't get rid of it if the stain sets.

Relationship Note on Coraline

She is a worthy opponent who gave me a tough sparring match in the training center. I shall praise her to Gloria in my prayers.

Relationship Note on Aurelian

I never met the boy, the true Prince Aurelian, that would never become the man. Prince Aurelian that I knew was the man that has been recently executed as a traitor. A thoughtful man who held darkness that I never saw in the many years that I call him friend.

He recognized, when others did not, that my duty after Prince Valen's death had become a wall to keep my heart protected. He confronted me when I tried to denied my feelings for Prince Fergus. Forced me to finally deal with my grief for losing Prince Valen, and showed me a path to embrace love once again. Regardless of his reasons for encouraging a relationship that would lead me to leave House Valardin, this man did good in this act. His actions led to me marrying my second love. Gave me an opportunity to be a mother to three wonderful children.

I can not condone his actions against the Crown and Compact. I can not condone his actions that led to the death of loyal Valardins. I appreciate the actions the Inquisition took to bring him to justice. I embrace my friends and family that struggle in the aftermath of his execution. Such revelations do cause one to question your sanity when a good friend turns out not to be who you thought they were.

Just remember that people are complicated creatures that come with various degrees of light and dark. We must remember someone in their entirety.

My birthday has come and gone without much fanfare. I almost prefer it that way. I have much more important things to be concentrating on besides my natality. Although, my sister did leave me a pretty amazing gift. A piece of home to keep close with me in the North. Sadly, I shall have to keep it in Arx since Farhaven is far too harsh to bring the Greenwood.

I don't really believe in destiny. That the gods have some grand plan for me. Maybe it's the cynic in me, but I think the gods have given us enough free will to figure out our own place in the universe.

Relationship Note on Monique

Come now sister, you know that there is no one like me. Just as there will never be anyone that could replace you.

Now when I rejoin the Wheel, I have faith that others will continue on. It is not a replacement rather the next turn of the cycle.

Relationship Note on Edain

I always look forward to my birthday. It's the one time of year make a point of looking at the calendar and say, "I'm still here." Then celebrate the incredible journey that is my life. Yes, I have not always made the best choices, but that winding journey sometimes opens new paths I would have never expected to take.

Incidentally, it's happening in about a month. Feel free to mark your calendar and celebrate with me.

Relationship Note on Driskell

Brother Driskell introduced me to Tehom, teaching me ways to find balance in my life. He never judged me for me less sterling qualities, and always gave sound advice. It was through his mentoring, I learned accept my failings and stare into my own dark reflection without flinching.

I have seen so many others who were touched by his devoted Faith. He is a man who lived his life well. A bit odd at times but I find the most interesting of people come with a few quirks.

Relationship Note on Rohran

If I could only teach Nia, Fergus and Valen one things, it would be that:

Life is a balance between what we can control and what we cannot. Focus your efforts into matters that you can change, and pray to the gods for those that you cannot.

Relationship Note on Austen

The fact that you beat me at the Gauntlet while feeling ill is a testament to your endurance and strength. I salute your skills and most definitely will be challenging you to a rematch in the near future.

It's been a little more than two months, and my body is almost recovered from giving birth to the twins. I've been exercising regularly. While my recent time on the Gauntlet wasn't near my best time, it was certainly respectable.

Everything tastes better with bacon. There nothing odd about wrapping bacon around asparagus.

It's the child. Those cravings all come from the baby inside your wife's womb.

Relationship Note on Victus

I am sorry my friend but unless that child takes after your sweet wife, you are screwed. That babe will have the same fire as the father in question. Perhaps you can seek a tailor to make you some cloth plugs. I do hear that can help.
