Relationship Note on Shae
I'm just happy you liked it, because I did fret over my poor needlework and almost started over from scratch. If you ever need more arts or crafts that makes you slightly uncomfortable again, call on me, cousin. I did enjoy making your idea reality.

Relationship Note on Jophiel
Today's sparring proved interesting and a crowd pleaser! What was unexpected was the banter, but it was lovely!
My favorite line, from Lord Faruq, was about all the Ladies surrounding him, watching him spar. And he called out a few, referring to Lord Jophiel as Lady!
And, without missing a beat, "Lady" Jophiel had to fan "herself" when I promised to come and get "her" after I beat the ol' pirate down!
It was all in good fun and I got away with calling the Corsair Lord a pirate.
It was a good day! And best yet, I won the right to be part of the crew on his ship and hunt OTHER pirates!

I still can't seem to get a handle on all that I have learned of the leadership of this 'fair' city. I escaped one form of tyrany only to find another... somehow, this one is worse. Perhaps it is because I expected it from those in power where I was ... but, here? Hope has gotten me through a great many thing, and I shant surrender it easily ... though, I can't help but feel betrayed.

Relationship Note on Alejandro
Do you know how many times in a day I constantly look you in the face and say, "Alejandro, please send a message to.." and it is like you just completely ignore me...
Until I realize you no longer are my errand and messenger boy.

When did I get so busy? I long for the days when all I had to worry about was what I was going to wear to the next party and who might be there.
Thankfully there are so many in Arx who have their ear to the ground and are kind enough to lend their skills of gossip so that I may stay on trend with the times.
Green Togue for social gardeners, get it? I can hear Inigo groaning at my terrible joke but deep down he likes it.

Relationship Note on Sasha
Sasha has been a good friend during the years knowing her. She has enviable skills with languages, a knack for research and is one of my 'go-to' persons for information when I need it. On the lighter side, we enjoy trying on clothes and jewelry and sharing a bottle of wine now and then.

To lie is against my knightly code, of course, but there is nothing in there against simply providing a term, once asked! What they do with it after that is on their own soul, truly.
I knew all those sessions sitting there and listening to my father go on about armor were good for something.

Relationship Note on Gerard
Hello, new favourite armour expert!
Bitten by a beaver sounds much more impressive than fumbled a helmet and got herself maimed. I've never yet seen a beaver that didn't look foul-tempered and I've heard rumours of men dying to their teeth before.

Relationship Note on Juniper
The actual part that rotates up and down to protect the face is called the visor, usually. The part it slams down onto is called the Bevor, or Beaver, at times and depending on the land. So your hand was bitten by a beaver, if it comes down to it.

The good news: I now have a better understanding of what my dearest and more martially inclined friends suffer, and may even eventually have a (much smaller) scar as so many of them do!
The bad news: I earned it by getting myself bitten by a helmet.
I'm afraid that after the tale of how this happened spreads, no one will believe me when I say I really am not usually so clumsy. It was a very cleverly designed helmet, one which I am sure is quite effective at its intended purpose. But it was also much heavier than I expected when I asked to see it and in trying not to drop it, I snapped shut the face thing on my hand. No amount of dancing acumen was able to save me from my own lack of strength.
On a sidenote, what's the name for the face thing? If I'm going to sit here bandaged and feeling ridiculous, it seems a good moment to also educate myself (because learning something new is always an excellent pick me up). Luckily it wasn't my writing hand so I can share both this warning (be careful with helmets) and the request for education.

A very minor mystery: I do not drink for reasons I won't elaborate on here and yet I awakened the other morning feeling very much as if I'd gone toe to toe with a Thraxian in a rum-chugging contest. Being a wiser woman than that, for only the unwary or foolish challenge the Thrax in regards to rum, I can only surmise that someone else's hangover got lost while attempting to invade and happened to take up residence in my skull instead.
If you happen to have missed a deserved hangover recently, all I can say is... you're welcome.
Thankfully I found a very effective cure and am back to my usual self.

The generosity of some of the people of Arx is astounding. Just remarkable.
I received a gift today - a steel capped staff of extraordinary make, crafted by the hand of Dame Ida, Hammer of the West, and given to me out of a bewildering kindness by Sir Gerard. It is beautiful! It is exceptionally well-suited for smacking people on the head! (I have been told to avoid using chairs for this purpose in the future.) I can see the craftsmanship in it - I think it is very probably the finest weapon I've ever owned.
It makes me all sniffly and I have had to wipe my eyes a couple of times while looking at it. Also, it makes me want to find an ADVENTURE so that I can hit something with it. It needs a name, though.
DOOMSTICK??

Relationship Note on Oliver
My thanks to Oliver Arterius who recently completed two sculptures.
One of Gild's sigil to stand outside the entrance of Crossroads as a reminder to be ever prosperous and ever charitable.
And for within, one of Vellichor's to serve as a reminder that wisdom shall not give way to greed.
These are magnificent works of art. Master Oliver is a true talent.

Never did I think a vision could be made reality. My cousin Amari astounds me, she has shown me true Art today, the kind that makes you smile, laugh, and feel mildly uncomfortable. I may never look at bedding the same way again.
