Relationship Note on Reigna
I am truly honored to be called family by you Reigna, as well as Shae and Kael. (sorry for not using titles, I probably should pay more attention to that.)
Know that Shae is a sister to me as much as Alis is. I have never seen Alis as a sister in law, I have seen her as my sister, the woman who loves my brother fiercely and loves her friends and family fiercely. A woman who loves the people she has sworn to protect fiercely. Never once did I ever consider her to not be related only by marriage. We are related by so much more than that. We have a bond not just through Fia but with one another and I would like to believe the same of Shae. That she and I have a bond and that I can call her my sister. I love Shae with all my heart the way I love Alis with all my heart. She is family forever and I would back her up whenever she has need of it. I know she can take care of herself, she is quite capable and in fact has a strong spirit while also being a ray of sunshine as well as someone you can always count on to have your back.
Being welcomed into your home leaves me, as I said above, feeling very honored. I hope that you know that you are now family too. You and Kael are more than welcome to come by the lodge anytime. In fact I would love to have an informal dinner if possible! As for training you once Squall is born well I would love nothing more than to give you the knowledge I have. I would also love to learn what I can from you in the art of healing. I believe it could be useful.
Also I would love the chance to be able to watch Squall when born. I am getting to watch Ellara sometimes. Perhaps Shae and I coould watch both babies so they can become fast friends.
I could not have asked for better family to have stumbled into than those I have now.
For those who may not realizes it. (Not to Gaston any names) but Gaston, Percy, Cristoph and Nicia, Edain and Caelis too. You are all stuck with me now.

Twice in a very short period of time I have been at home, waiting with baited breath, hoping against hope that my love would come home uninjured and well. Twice in a very short time I have been relieved and reminded that the gods watch over the faithful. I do not mean to say that no ill befalls the faithful, simply... my path remains with my husband. And for that blessing I am filled with gratitude. Not only did he return, but all of those I consider family did as well. I am so proud of my peers, awed by the bravery and strength of the High Lord, the ferocity and unflinching courage of his bride. To my cousin Shae, you are exquisite and so fierce. I sometimes wish I were able to join you in your battles... but I know I would be far more a liability than an aid. Even were I not heavy with child, I have no illusions about my battle prowess. Still. My heart travels with all of you.

It is almost Kael's birthday and the plans have begun to come together. His gift is... extravagant, but it will so be worth it. I am extremely honored to be working with *Scratched out words*. Ooops, that would have given it all away. As it is, there have been so many changes going on in the house hold. I think an official announcement is coming, but... there is someone new to Keaton Hall. Squall has not yet, arrived, let me head that rumor off at the pass, but there is a babe, a foundling, that we have taken in. With permission from Princess Katarina, we have decided to name her Kata. Not all decisions have yet been made, but she will be staying with us, raised here in Keaton Hall. We have found a lovely woman to be her nurse, and she has a young son. To go from having no children to soon having three infants... I can only imagine the chaos we have invited. But I cannot help but feel that the gods placed this child in my path.

Relationship Note on Shae
Signing lessons, dear cousin of mine? Dare I ask why?
In other news, I am incredibly proud of you. I do not believe we would have fared as we did, had you not been aiding the archers on the field that day.

There's little as satisfying as being underestimated or unaccounted for, and making your enemy pay for it in blood. Run back to your master, and tell him that the white dragon stands strong. Let him feel your fear.

I've made a few more mistakes in these last few days, but I think I've gotten a handle on it. The inspiration of Jayus is a difficult one to overcome. I just hope that I can continue to make a better impression on people in the coming days, I've been busy. I hope to continue to be busy in the months and years to come, and I'm also always seeking out new art subjects for any that are willing to be subjected to the demands of an artist.

I almost pity some of these fucking people with their huge ass family trees. Important names. Got a buncha people with their name they barely know, even don't care for, but they gotta act like it.
Throw in some lands. Castles. Titles. All that shit. Just more trash to struggle over. Heavier shackles if you ask me. I wasn't born with much but I got no attachments. That itself is fucking something.
See, I'm free. A bunch of you people never will be.

My cousin has worked extensively in securing information for one of the initiatives across the sea. He does House Velenosa proud when he's focused on naval efforts.

Normally I like the dark just fine. My skin burns way too fucking easy.
But THAT day just made me wanna sleep through it. So I did.
Can't hustle proper when everybody's all mopey anyway.

Relationship Note on Neve
Met Lady Neve today. She seems a unique and eager soul. Joyful, and earnest.
<enclosed with the entry is a Graphite sketch>
*Drawn in graphite on sketch paper, the sketch shows a woman with wide and eager eyes, joyful and exuberant as her lips quirk in a soft smile. The blonde hair frames her face as it dances wildly around her shoulders, a single strand of black seemingly mingling with the blonde. She rests her chin upon her fingers, supporting herself on the back of her hand, and through that joyful expression is just a hint of mischief and zeal.*

I am glad that we did not lose anyone during our mission earlier this week, though some were very wounded. Which I am sad to hear about but still happy that they will recover and be better soon, if not already. And also so proud of my family, friends, and those part of Valardin. Dame Ida and Sir Daemon, were so brave in their actions.

Maybe what I thought was confidence born of hope is actually cockiness and pride.
I should be more mindful of remembering what I have seen in the past. Burying the fear isn't going to make the things I'm afraid of go away.
There are mountains to climb and I am but a grain of sand pushed around by the winds.

Relationship Note on Orazio
How pleasant it is to pass an evening in the Legate's company. The only thing I've to complain about is that it happens far too infrequently for my tastes.
To think that one of the richest friendships of my life has resulted from a simple dance.
