Relationship Note on Regla
You are a Lady in a prominent House. Any marriage concern should be how it benefits your House. Love in a marriage is a welcome addition but should not be the basis for the marriage.

Am I in touch enough with my emotions to fall in love? Of course. Some might argue I'm more a creature of emotion than anything else. But love is a different animal entirely. I've loved, I've been loved, I've been in love, I've been in love with the idea of love, and I've even been OUT of love with the idea of love. I might love a lot of different people a little bit, it's happened before.
Everywhere I look though, everyone is with everyone else, or "love" isn't going to solve the insurmountable obstacles to a marriage.
Love is hard.
Marriage for politics. For Family. It suddenly seems easier.
I find myself envying those that have their matches made for them by their family. Which is odd, I hate being told how to live my life. But could I ever find that one perfect person to love and want to marry, and everyone be able to, to have everyone agree? It makes my head hurt to think about. But these days you can't avoid the word marriage or wedding. Maybe once winter sets in, people will stop with their stupid weddings.

Oddly, it reminds me of my mother. My mother told me a few things about the world when I was young. She said: "Everyone is going to break your heart, if you're generous." But, I haven't found that to be true at all. Or, at least not yet! What she should have said was: "Being the Voice of a House is going to be the most busy, and possibly loneliest endeavor in the world." Ah! Then, she would be right, and I would remember her advice now so that I would be feeling less alone, and more blessed by the fact that my House is thriving.
I will admit to being tempted to do things outside of my scope - there is an interest to pursue love and a match for myself. I doubt that anyone is willing to marry down - or worse! Marry sideways and take my name. Yet, the intent to continue driving legitimate trade forward with the House is far more important. Assisting in the search to find a suitable partner for my Countess is far more important. Wondering who I might install as a Minister of War or Loyalty. Learning more about the inner workings of economics is proving more interesting to me than attending certain social events. Bookkeeping. Planning. Watching our coffers increase by the week is incredibly satisfying. This is where I am now - and it's a very nice, if occasionally lonely, place to be.
So, with such taken into consideration -- I might simply find a lover for myself for the immediate time being. Otherwise, I might end up stretching myself thin, or providing mediocre service to my liege-lady.
Neither which is an acceptable option. Only success.

Relationship Note on Octavia
I do not know what qualities she admires. I am devoted to finding out though, and to showing her each and every one of them.
Even if it means finding ways to style myself in pants.
Now that is devotion.

All that aside, things are quiet now, which is alternate parts relieving and frustrating. We have several members of House Tyde newly come to the city, and I will be glad for the tower not being quite so empty as it sometimes seems. I have had opportunity to reconnect with people important to me, which is always satisfying. Otherwise, it is just a matter of waiting on what comes next.

Relationship Note on Aiden
Since the day of the Seige when we fought back to back taking down the Shav and Bringers who tried to come over the wall he has been by my side.
From the moment I took the blow from the giant monster to when I woke up and he was at my side.
He has taken me in like a brother and I him, he has come to every award ceremony that I was given a award for fighting and saved his life he has sat and cheered me on.
He has become one of my best friends and I do wish to get to know Silas as such as well in time.
I would save Aiden or Silas again if I had to make the choice all over again.
And even when Aiden was not cheered for or given acknowledge meant for his actions he still stood at my side.
I thank you prince Aiden for all that you have done for me and given me and for that I put here in the white journals for all to see!
Prince Aiden I thank you for your courage and your bravery on the ramparts at the Seagate you will be now be remembered for your brave actions.

For instance, I'm way better at traditional Redrain dancing than Larissa! Maybe if she let me eat more cookies she'd be good at it too. I think these two things are HIGHLY CORRELATED.

Legate Orazio wished to discuss the help the Lodge has offered, and we spoke within the Shrine. It was a joy to have my achievements, no matters how small in comparison to the city as a whole, be noted.
Prince Aiden wished to discuss the animals of the Menagerie. I reminded him of the previous escapes, and that those that remain are there by choice. I told him of my meetings with the folk there. He was pleased.
Lady Carita Darkwater visited. We discussed her interest in botanical gardens, and it seems my help, however reluctantly promised, will be required. So be it. She seems a fine lady, and quite different to the former head of that house.
Petal Penrose visited, and I reassured her as to her store's validity. It was not hard; I was wearing the attire she'd made for me in return for my advice and tuition on keeping her gardens.

There are many things I must say, but I am pleased, first and foremost, I can say that. The Lodge of Petrichor played it's part, and we assisted in recovering the damage done by the Bringer's March, and saving much of Greyson's lands, to refute famine and misery. It feels good, to know that, in my own way, I helped with this.
I've not had thanks from the family as yet, but I am sure it will come. Another issue, of the new treaty with the Nox, has surely overtaken it in their minds.

For instance, by certain measures I'm probably older than Aureth, and apparently if I don't moderate my cookie intake around Larissa she will cut me off.
