Relationship Note on Aiden
Even if you weren't, it was clear from our first (and I stress, only) meeting you're decidedly interested in someone else. I hope that's not supposed to be a secret, because if it is, you're the worst person at keeping secrets I've ever passingly met.

Can't very well foster good relations with clients if they don't have good references for you, after all.

But all I can ever give you is a job. Expeditiona require warriors with sarcastic wit and selfish motivations. You might fit the need.

Ow. A morning that reminds me of every bone and muscle in my body.
It's a gratifying pain and one that'll worsen as time progresses, but worth the experience.
Remind me to thank the Lord Commander later for these lessons. She works tirelessly to prepare the squires and hone the knights' skills.

Relationship Note on Aiden
People are innately selfish, because this is how anyone survives. At least, when survival is a factor, but I don't think that instinct goes away just because someone has money and power. In fact, money and power might actually feed it, bloat it up beyond reason. But if we didn't have it, then we'd never raise a weapon to defend ourselves. We'd never hunt to feed ourselves. We'd never take in any way to provide for ourselves. Humans wouldn't survive as a species or individuals without some form of selfishness. We're all selfish to some degree. And we all draw the line at what's too selfish generally just beyond where it's comfortable for us.
Animals are selfish too, they just don't get self conscious about it. I've never met an animal that wouldn't take food they thought they could get away with taking. For the record, bears are confident they can get away with a lot (they're right).

But I do like making people happy, particularly those I care about. And sometimes even complete strangers. I believe if you make someone's day, they will remember and pay it forward in the future. Sometimes ten fold! They remember when you were there for them.
Also... Audric might not be saving kitten orphanages, but he's not nearly as bad as he pretends!

I barely beat out Prince Luca, who at that point in the race seemed more concerned wwith cheering on his wife than his own score - adorable, really. He in turn barely beat out Lady Eirlys. Which means that, by official tally, the Oathlands scored first, fifth, and seventh place, with an unofficial third (and, according to some, fourth, for if they get to claim Princess Marian, we should be allowed to claim Prince Fergus. Or so the reasoning goes).
Not a bad showing at all. And I quite enjoyed myself.

1) Many do have an animal companion in their lives and for good or ill, they've written about it. Animals do inspire people.
2) People are innately selfish otherwise. They'll take what they can get from you, without mercy. Unless your name is Silas Whitehawk, who is not selfish at all. He is a giver. Too few of those around!
3) People like spectacles. If you're not a spectacle, you're boring and uninteresting - and apparently seen as USELESS. Silas disagrees.
4) People won't need you until they need you to do something for them. (I'm guilty of this too and I'm sorry if I've made someone feel this way).
5) People will not invite you to what's important to them unless you cater solely to them. (I cater to Silas but I love him).
6) People will want to get to the finish line before you so they can lift up the trophy and be a hero. Little do they know, medals do not matter. But we all love Silas' medals - keep them coming love!
7) People get married way too fast. And misplaced my invite. This makes me sad.

(1) It is Esoka, not I, who will be handling the needles; and

It should also be noted that the King will be joining our awards celebration, and will be doing much of the awarding of prizes. Exciting!
There are still teams that could use another player or two, for those who wish to join in the final hours. I bet a few of them could use some help!

I don't care that others think he's just a pest, he's not.
He used to live in the Stone Grove, or that's what Lady Signe told me when she gave him to me, and that makes him already special.
But he's brave and has no fear and he helped me a lot to try to get better.
He's also greedy and loves food, he would eat until he can't get a single crumble inside and then hide the rest.
And he doesn't let anyone to annoy him, he once got angry with an owl that mistook him for food.
I'm sure he would be clever enough to deliver messages as other pets do, but I'd be afraid that he would change his mind half way of he sees food... Or that some other animal would mistake him for food.
I should really listen to people and get him a small armor...
And then there is Chip.
He's also one of my best friends but he's not so blunt or reckless. Master Gavin's cat caught him, and he's been scared since. However, when he feels brave enough, he's the sweetest thing...
I know a lot of people thinks I'm weird for having mice as pets... And maybe I am... But I feel like I can trust them more than some people.
(Remember my companion/s)
