Relationship Note on Asger
I've arrived during the joke that they call winter here in the City. The snow is pitiful and I'm probably going to sweat to death before spring, but a man's got to do his duty, I suppose. I don't blame you too much, boy, but enough that I'll likely hold this over your head until the rest of your days. And yes, I did say /your/ days. I might be twenty-odd years your senior, but I'll likely still outlive you because of how damn portly you've gotten since you've become Duke.

I much prefer leatherworking over tailoring. I suppose there are a lot of similarities - it is why I started taking lessons on how to work with more delicate fabrics in the first place - but even now that I'm far proficient at the craft, I still consider myself only a hobbyist tailor. There's just something about working with leather that I've always liked better; maybe it has something to do with all the different hides you can tan and work with? Or maybe the oils. Who knows.
But every so often, I get to sewing something for somebody and it turns out to be more extravagent than anything I've ever made with pelts - and I've worked with some pretty damn exotic leathers over my days. But there is that moment, after you've taken a shapeless sheet of fabric and turned it into something that someone's going to wear and hopefully remember for the rest of their days, and you just feel /good/. Accomplished, maybe. Yeah, that's definitely how I feel today. Accomplished.

I have once again returned to Arx and it is mostly as I remember. I've met new people, learned new games, and had a chance to catch up with my family. It has been a good return, and I view it less as a visit to the city. I do still need to commission dresses and jewelry, but I am certain I will have those started soon. I've also considered writing stories for my children, but I've yet to start. I look forward to what the future will bring.

Happy birthday. Any plans for a party? I would be shocked if there was none. You seem to be a party person. The kind that would have a giant cake and some kind of game.

When I cast my metalwork, there are many details that need to be worked on. Scales, fur, words, settings re-done, textures enhanced. For all the my lamps are bright, I can only do such work during the day. Hence, why the back of my shop is all window, and it looks out to my little garden.
Today I worked on scales.
The torcs required a realism, at least to me. The result? They gleam, these scales, like they cover living creatures that might flex or bend. When stroked against the grain, the scales catch on my callouses, just enough, and yet worn about the neck, they sit as comfortably as silk.
It's a rare day when an Artisan finds so much satisfaction in their work.
But the best part? The customer was satisfied as well.
Can't argue with that. It was a good day at the bench.

It's my birthday!
I've been two years now in Arx. Two years! So much has happened and I have learned so much. I am eager to continue learning and growing. What is waiting for me, I wonder?
Adventure! Excitement! Derring-do!

Things just keep getting better and better! The future is so bright I have to shade my eyes with my hands against its brilliance!
But I would never look away. Not even for a minute. Not for one second!

"What does it mean to be a soldier?"
It's an interesting lesson he's imparting. I look forward to talking to people. To a variety of people. Both those who have served and those who have not. Those who are martial, and those who are not.
I'll be taking notes.

Relationship Note on Bliss
I have never had to treat a wound that involved one's own initials having been carved into another person's legs. It is certainly one of them ore interesting injuries I've come across since joining the Silver Order.
I extend my gratitude to Seraph Ailith for healing Champion Bliss, and also recommend plenty of bed-rest until one gains an L-shaped scar.

Sir Corban, I can honestly say I have fallen in love with her skill, the fact she also opens her forge to those seeking warmth in the winter is a kindness that speaks very highly to the wonderful woman I have found her to be. I am truly honored to be her patron.
I truly look forward to working together to spread knowledge of her works farther indeed.

In not so many days, the reasons for hosting the Masquerade at the Menagerie have fallen into question, doubt, and confusion. I am bewildered, but can adjust. Any good leader can.
Regardless, this city needs a fun party where people can let loose and enjoy themselves and truly be themselves. Masks allow you such a freedom! So the show must go on, I'll worry about the accounting later on.

Princess Coraline, let me offer you my congratulations on extending patronage to Armorsmith Eithne.
Armorsmith Eithne crafted my armor of the red wall that served me so well -- in the Gray Forest, at Setarco -- before I traded it in for the silver and gray of the King's Own. I was fortunate to have her craftsmanship protect me. I am certain you will have an equally wonderful experience.

It is with the greatest of pleasure and pride that I announce that Mistress Eithne Thornburn is now my protege. If you have not seen her works they are a true work of art, each and every one. Her artistry in metalwork coupled with her skill in the forge makes my a very lucky patron. Please do stop by her shop and see the functional beauty that are her masterpieces.

Oh, NO, cousin Fairen. I was making a list of tools that I needed for a properly stocked work-bench, I think. (Maybe.)
