Smelling good is absolutely worth the cost!
You could dress up in fireweave all you like, but if you reek of sweat and dung, people will cringe away from your company!

Relationship Note on Estaban
While some brothers are bonded by blood of birth and nature's kinship, there are those who are bonded by blood of battle and a loyal actions. I want Arvum to know, that Estaban Saik, is a brother of mine. He too has been by my side, during the days of loneliness, during the days of reckless fun that ends up with vomit on the floor, and during the days yet to come - I know he will be there, to fight at my side and defend me if it needs come to that.
His words of praise, I wish to be recorded as noting, are priceless and worth more than any hunk of metal.
~~~
Psst. Estaban - I've got a whole bar cabinet of booze. I'm sure a bottle or two has your name on it.

I am dueling High Lord Victus soon.
It is a duel that I am excited about.
He is a great fighter and I am not sure who will win.
We are dueling in part because there are tensions between our our houses
and it is the diplomacy we understand best or at least that I understand best.
I don't approve of many of the Thrax methods. That is no secret.
But the High Lord Victus, does seem to have a respect for
female warriors. We sparred and he did win, but it was very close.
I was huffing and puffing a lot of after that spar.

Relationship Note on Aleksei
An interesting man, the Archlector of Skald. I don't claim to know him well, but he is nuanced in his beliefs and marginally slippery in his manner of speaking. He raised some interesting points about the Laws of Limerance and the servants of the Gods, and I'm quite curious now to see what comes of this. If he speaks as a representative of Skald in this or simply as a person, I think changes will come to the Compact sooner than will be comfortable.

Relationship Note on Preston
A devout Templar, he serves the will of the Dominus without question. It is that last part, the "without question" that bothers me. In fact he argues that we must not question the Gods or Their representatives, even as he questions Their representatives. Our conversation was by turns interesting and confusing. I hope he works out his faith soon. We all must be the champions of our own faith and our own consciences. I wonder what will happen when those two things clash in him. He seems right on the edge of fanaticism and though I liked him I think he will walk a difficult path in the coming months and years.

Some people think I have no sense of humor. That I serve the King without emotion beyond my endless duty. That I am a harsh taskmaster, driven to the training of squires and Knights beyond all sense of reason. That I am willing to go to lengths others would frown upon to make sure those swords are tempered and honed to a fine edge.
I suppose being half right is enough for those people.
In related news, I must remember to send Sir Matthew a note soon.

So, I know of this really neat plant that grows where I was born and raised. That plant only grows there and is exceedingly rare anywhere else. I believe this plant needs to be brought to Arx. It needs to be cultivated and all the apothecaries need to be made aware of it's amazing healing properties! In fact, I want to start a huge garden that grows mostly plants of medicinal use for the city. I hope to get other apothecaries and the Mercies all involved in this. I think this will go a long way in helping the city as a whole. Now, if only I can think of a snazzy name...

Speaking of smelling bad...
I just spent the last three days running for hours! I heard there was going to be a tournament soon and I want to be ready. If anyone needs a training partner, just send me a messenger.

My general feeling is smelling good isn't worth thousands of silver. That is more expensive than some pieces of jewelry.
And the peerage doesn't take much time to sniff at me and scowl in disdain at the vetiver being too strong.
There is little demand, so there will be little profit until there is.

Hmph! Quantity should NEVER replace quality! I go to various apothecaries and find them utterly sold out. The cheap perfumes are very very affordable, I get that. However, wouldn't anyone out there like a quality high grade perfume over just the cheap every day stuff? There are so many parties and events of high class, yet people wear -cheap- perfumes. I need to figure out a way to make my high quality perfumes more of a trend.

Relationship Note on Leona
Leona is an interesting person - she holds high position as Lord Commander of the King's Own, but she also does not seem egotistical or precious of this. She also hungers for that simplicity that Preston desires, even if they disagree. She is someone Preston feels he can work with, and he values her wisdom - at times perhaps more than he even values the wisdom of some in the faith.

So what does every super cool armorsmith need in her life? A super cool dog, that's what! Yeah, I got a dog. I never really had to care for anything before like I'm having to care for this pup. Yeah, I've got younger siblings but, let's be honest, I only wanted to torment them when I was little. Like Aurora. It's fun to torture her.
So my pup is named Smokey. Yeah, I know, very cliche'. I'm okay with that. I'm sorta very cliche' myself. You might see him longing around the shop when I'm not actually forging and molding the metal in the back. So if you come on by, feel free to give him some love.

Relationship Note on Abbas
What is the difference between a man who has committed monstrous acts and a true monster? Men can change. Prince Abbas Thrax has made a vow to mend his ways and, while this does not absolve him of the dark deeds done in the past, it marks him out as a man instead of a monster. May the gods guide him. (Maybe I'll lend a little guidance myself.)

I truly wish I could remember the rest of the song. It was a chipper little tune, and this was one of the lyrics:
"I was much further out than you thought
And not waving but drowning."
One day, I'll remember rest of the words.

Today I approached Lady Calypso Malvici about joining the Ministry of Defense, and she graciously agreed that I could serve as an agent. As the new commander of the Laurent forces, it eases my mind to know that I'll have such fine minds available to me, and that I'll be able to keep a finger on the pulse of Arx's military affairs
And she's going to have horse racing at her wedding reception! I'm already in.
