None among us is perfect. But every day you show us your courage, your loyalty to the Oathlands and its ideals, and your honor in the face of adversity. Do not forget as you publicly castigate yourself that you have picked up the pieces of a shattered family after tragedy, and then borne the mantle of leadership that you never expected to have. I am proud to be your sister and help you navigate the unfamiliar terrain we find ourselves on.
P.S. - In your list, you forgot to mention that one time that you forgot my birthday :(

AFRAID?? Look here, Behemoth. I'm afraid of nothing! (Much to the dismay of multiple family members). I do, however, know I am like what... one third your size? 3 shots and I'd be under the table.

I know all the pesky details about relationships through marriage rather than by blood. But, you will always be my sister as far as I'm concerned. My kids will call you Aunt, not cousin. And anyone who tries to tell me otherwise can KMA.
I am so happy for you. You're radiant again, which is exactly how it should be.

He makes Marian happy, and I can't ask for more then that. Which means, sorry for you Ferg... you're going to gain a willful little sister as part of the deal. I had it written in tiny print in the contract.

It was a joy to watch Katarina and Rook be married today. The ceremony, conducted by Archlector Ilvin was lovely, and both bride and groom resplendent. I am so very happy for you, Kat.

They are all the titles I knew you by, but none of them do you justice. When Fiachra and I teach our children about the heroes of our people, your name will feature brightly among them. You, who stood for the innocent and championed justice, and stood as a beacon against the dark. And they will also know that you were beloved by all who really knew you. That your smile could brighten a day, and your wit and ferocity during battle could turn a tide. We will all miss you. But you will never be forgotten.

You deserve your own tiara, of course. I am certain I can have a suitable one made. Just for you.

I'm not quite sure what it is about a good archery tournament. Perhaps all the dexterity on display. But it certainly provides enough inspiration later that it matters not whether one comes first or second.

Deep fried, bacon wrapped pickles are amazingly good at helping one process all manner of negative emotion. A thing I have discovered quite by accident, but have rewarded our kitchen staff for immensely.

Sooo, are you saying if we have a cornholing extravaganza here at the manor it's possible Darren will show up oiled and in a thong, ready to go?

Rather then comment on what a swoon-worthy statement that is, were I the swooning type... I will instead say - Damn, that's hot. You'll be home soon, right?

I find myself a poor devotee of the Pantheon some days. Too long spent striving to fulfill the ideals of the Sentinel and Gloria leaves me an unforgiving person in other matters, perhaps. In penitence and in admiration for my cousin the Mother of Mercy for Arx I will give more of what I have, to help provide the refugees with healing. And I will spend time in prayer to Lagoma, in the hopes that her grace will soothe the troubled souls of Avrum of which I am only one of many.

Juliet
She is, in so many ways, entirely my opposite. I hold myself back in anything except combat, and she gives so much of herself. But one of the most treasured things about friendship is being able to enjoy each other's company no matter those differences. And, learning from them. She's quite adept at bringing people out of their comfort zone, but also supportive and kind and non-judgemental.

Cristoph
It must have been difficult being stuck behind enemy lines, waiting out the siege and wanting to be there to fight with the rest of us. It's definitely something I can sympathize with. Still, I hope his return to Arx will be productive for him; to that effort, I hope he and Marquis Marius are able to come to an agreement about some hives constructed near the the Wild Grove that in progress. It's a small thing, but they add up.
Also, he giggles. He really, actually, giggles.

Never let it be said that the Thraxian Princess is anything less then a stellar accompaniment to any adventuring party. Especially an unexpected adventure, whereby she is compelled to leap onto a cranky warhorse and lead him to some serious ass kicking.
P.S. Yes, yes it was the 'best wedding...ever'!
