Relationship Note on Vercyn

Your new, appropriately ostentatious cup ought to have a gilded beard.

I am a lucky woman with far more friends and family than I expected or deserve.



...and still all I want is for you to be home, waiting for me. This was not the story I had written. This was not the life we had planned.

Futures never done,
To the end, overcome;
Before we breath the cold,
Every look, stories told.

In the air, our wishes heard,
Blown away from where we were,
Raise your voice and fix your eyes
In the moment, we're alive.

I linger in a starless evening in the garden,
My fingers trace the words in your letters.

What have we done with our lives,
And what does it get us?

That doesn't change what pervades my thoughts by day,
The city calls my name and I can't stay away.

And I know what I came here to do.
I'll always be here for you.

My husband's body was found butchered, at the docks, with hateful words written on his face.

His baby kicks beneath my heart.

The same thought echoes through my head without ceasing:



"What will I do?"

Relationship Note on Tovell

I am pleased that I have found the most-perfect use for the voucher for a diamondplate weapon that I won at Ansel and Isabeau's wedding reception.

I have given it to my brother, Tovell. I have a diamondplate weapon. And so I pray he will have made a creation that is personally meaningful to him and that will serve him well in battle. Coming from Dame Ida, I know it will be both.

Relationship Note on Vayne

A poor premise upon which to discuss the point I believe you desire to explore.

You lead with a very tricky word. Required. Am I required by oath sworn to my duchess, my archduchess, the crown? If so, this is a discussion of oathbreaking. Will we break our oaths to do what we believe is right even knowing that oathbreaking is wrong in and of itself?

Even leaving that particular point aside, the problem you present is not entirely unfamiliar to some of us. There are solutions beyond acquiescence and dismissal.

To your actual question, then. Yes, of course. One lesser grievous act to spare others the consequences of another. We do this all the time to varying degrees of terribleness, choosing between two awful things in the hopes that whatever we choose might do more good than harm. Life presents very few straightforward solutions. We make the best of our difficulties and grow from them.

Perhaps I should see to having a new cup made just for this upcoming whiskey tasting.

Something appropriately ostentatious.

The books are all but balanced, then -- like a afterthought, forgotten -- as I pursue another shining thing in another shop window. My hobbies are predictable.

None Grayer than Grayhope?

The shackles finishing touches are saved by my feet up in our suite, looking at the walls around me.

Victus might not be happy when he comes into our rooms, things will have been changed. This is what happens when I am to be off my feet for long periods of time. I look at the walls and decide I want change.

Relationship Note on Michael

Unfortunately the cadence for the first place choice was taken when the Deepwoods of old chose their words.

'None Deeper Than Deepwood' would have served as inspiration, provoked philosophical thought, and been a suitable warning for some. Or an invitation for others, I suppose.

The problem -and joy- of asking questions is that sometimes you get answers.

The next test is what you do with those answers.

My fingertips are ink -- and wine -- stained. I couldn't care any less. My correspondences these days have been the most engaging.

If I am allowed to choose the family this seems like a fairly straightforward conundrum.

As a business owner, I am so pleased when people choose my shop to make their garments for those special occasions and even those not so special ones in which you really just don't want to be naked anymore. I enjoy hearing what people have made by my apprentices, the level of artistic imagination that flows throughout the city can be breathtaking and inspiring. Sometimes I dont understand their vision, but it certainly is not my place to. We each have our own and I am certain that some may not always understand mine in return.

So thank you to Arx, the city as a whole and each person from every walk of life, that breaths beauty into it.

Relationship Note on Traherne

A veteran of the Battle of Pridehall. I have heard his story told a few different ways from my home. He deserves the opportunity to work in Arx, his work was the best of Pridehall and all of the Compact should have a chance to see it.
