I have received a gift of gloves. Please send more gloves. I like gloves.
To the sweet treats rivals, you may continue as previous with sending me baked goods. There has been a lapse in your deliveries. Today seems a fine day to restart that rivalry between the two of you. Let's make it happen.

Relationship Note on Niklas
I find myself perusing the whites this morning in vague amusement to find my dear cousin, in his usual manner, has had his dry wit fail to inspire. You must become better at who you aim it at, Niklas. Otherwise it leaves a sour taste.
With that said he sent me a hat. It is a bit floppy. And...it has an E on it. I am not entirely sure how I can wear it. There is just...so much hair. I wear fascinators. But for today...for breakfast. At least he remembered me. That was an unexpected surprise. Not only that, but Princess Sabella also sent me a lovely gift. I may or may not save it for a special occassion.

Relationship Note on Tikva
Princess Tikva sent a beautiful lute over, which I of course proceeded to play at once, much to my audience's great joy.
And by audience I mean Danior, whose artistic sensibilities so overtook him that he tried to play himself. With his claws. Thankfully, while my heart soars with approval for the little feline's aspirations, I did put the lute back in its case.
I suppose having a kitten means I need to be more diligent in putting away my instruments properly.

Relationship Note on Tikva
I am not as cynical as I sound, your highness! I sent out over a dozen handmade gifts to friends and family.
As an aside, things got a little out of control when I was making a gavel warmer for my sister and I have several dozen extra, so if anyone needs any little knit nooks perfectly sized for a small wooden hammer, let me know.

Relationship Note on Kenna
I brought it with me scholar! Everyone should see this so you should help me sketch it. The world should know what a menacing badass Lady Kenna Whitehawk really is! I THINK that is a compliment. She still has not written back to tell me if this is a threat or not!
Just remember - her messenger, the thing that brought this to me? IS A SQUIRREL. Not just a squirrel. Like the PRINCESS of squirrels or something! And Lady Kenna had her bring me THIS! -from the skin of her messenger critter's own people-.
Secret. Badass.
(And herein, a bad drawing that fails to do justice to the below desc)
Makeshift 'Bear'skin Rug
Fashioned together from many many small skins that are definitely not bear (they look like squirrel), this rug is a patchwork mosaic of fluff and stitching. It lays mostly flat, but only because it's been stepped on a great deal. Still, it has it's own sort of charm with all the matted down fur and stretched outlines of flattened rodents.

Giving a gift isn't so much about knowing what they like, as it is about what made you think of them.
It really is the thought, more than the gift, that matters the most.

Relationship Note on Artur
My brother and I have exchanged gifts on this lovely Grayson Gift Day! As always, he knows me so well and picked the most perfect thing, one that I utterly lacked: perfume. The scent is absolutely stunning! Leave it to Artur to simply know what I love and would likely never purchase for myself. Best brother!

I have received a gift for Gift Day, and I didn't think I might actually get anything. It makes me a bit happy, and I should also try to make some gifts for people. I just need to know what people I've never made any gifts for before, might like.

I don't think I will ever understand anything about elves when it comes to social matters. Of course I believe we relate on that to an extent, as I'm not great at social matters sometimes, though with me it is more because I don't like to be social a lot, mostly because I have never been great with it, I was born a simple smith. That said, it was quite an interesting evening, and it's nice to know that the Embassy was well received. Now it's on to gift giving day, which I admit I'm also not great at, I just give people what I think it is they might like.

Audric's Rules of Being a Sellsword, number... something. Fairly high up there. Scholar, remind me to compile these sometime. If you're ever in a fair fight, you've already fucked up. A fair fight is one where you aren't sure you're going to win. That can mean a lot of things. It can mean arranging a stray arrow to take your foe in the neck, it can mean a flanking force in that copse of trees over there. I've been a soldier all my life, and every fight has boiled down to one thing: who can keep the most cards up their sleeves. Complaining about losing a fair fight is something a loser does to assuage their ego. This isn't even just a sellsword thing: the victor writes the history. When you win, you're in the right. Otherwise, you haven't really won, have you?

I can't send you a messenger. So I can only hope someday you return and catch up on a giant backlog of white journals and find this:
Happy Gift Day, my friend.
I left you a figurine in the atrium of Ashford House.
