You are all, of course, mistaken.

The best weapon is the flail.

Relationship Note on Ryhalt

Is the rum for you, or for Ivy? I've had a number of healers tell me rubbing liquor on the gums of a teething child soothes them. Personally I've found that slicing the ginger and rubbing it along the gums works very well and the crying usually stops quickly. Spring onions also work to deaden the pain, but I warn you that the breath of your child after might fell an ox.

If you need any additional tips, do let me know.

Thrax rum should never, ever, be dismissed or made fun of. It can make a wailing banshee stop her keening and finally allow some blessed sleep, or whatever else people do in their bedchambers but cannot when the walls are echoing and reverberating with the death wail of a teething child. Though such things does tend to lead to more wailing banshees...

Such a vicious cycle. Which is why the gods of the Compact gave us rum. I am most sure of it and will not be convinced otherwise.

Relationship Note on Derovai

Now now, don't underestimate the value of such secret! Courtiers would quite literally kill for it!

Not that I know the killing-worthy secret. I'm just a bard.

A bit of responsibility goes a long way. Perhaps I need more of it, though.

Research into the previous King goes well - here's hoping I'll have enough material for a new book, soon. I know that you've all been pining for one, and all.

Relationship Note on Elgana

It should be noted for general consumption, there is only one person allowed to utilize this new nickname, Elgie has deemed to bestow me, aside from my wife. That would be the Bear Princess herself.

You seemed quite certain in your knowledge of bear-dueling! I was just testing you.

You passed the test.

This time.

Why are you asking me? You are the Bear Princess. Princess Bear?

The intention, of course, is that you are the Expert Princess on Bearology.

Isn't that the only way you can duel a bear?

Relationship Note on Caith

By definition, a pair of individuals dueling with hugs is formally called 'wrestling'. I understand the Redrain hug-duel bears quite often.

Back from Stormward.

Please line up and approach me one at a time to tell me how much you missed me.

Now let's do this in alphabetical order. Of course that makes Aethan first, but I've already spoken to him, so Princess Alarissa would be next, but I understand she has an appointment right now, Duke Arn, yes, never actually met him, so... oh my, that means first up is Bastien!

Relationship Note on Harper

While I'm at the Archives I should make an entry about non-sword things.

After my last entry, the scholar is looking at me like he's frightened, which I want to make sure is recorded. Don't cringe, man, it's silly. A little yelling never hurt anyone, and often adds necessary emphasis. Vellichor's work isn't for the timid.

Anyway this is not about yelling about how wonderful swords are. This is about my new sort-of niece, Harper Ashdown.

I've been thinking about family of late, and how the way we define it changes as we go through life. My kin and tribe of Greenwoods will always be my family. They’re in my blood and skin and their past echoes in my soul. But there’s also the family we find and choose. Harper Ashdown and my husband chose each other as family, so she’s mine now, too. I've decided she’s my niece. I’ve got a niece already, but she’s my first found one. I like her very much already. She’s brave and true and has excellent taste in pastries, so I think I’ll keep her.

Kindness, respect, friendship and a willingness to listen are my favorite weapon.

Then you have the sneakiest fucker you know get 'em in the back when they go for a hug.

Just watch your own back, because you should never forget that the sneakiest fucker you know is a sneaky fucker.

Relationship Note on Margret

I'm two glasses of wine in and starting to feel better myself.

Hardly my first time at this game, but ow. Ow. Why would you ever play that game with me? I'm going to win every time.

Yes, Scholar, I do define this state as winning.

Please note that the scholars may take some time preparing your journal for others to read.
