Relationship Note on Melinda

Just the other day I had the pleasure of taking Serah on a trip to the Menagerie with the wonderful Lady Melinda Grimhall...and I must say, it was the most fun I've had in a long time. It was so good to see Serah have such a wonderful time; needless to say, having the company of the Lady Grimhall was my pleasure and I cannot wait to do it again.

It's good to have fun...really needed it from everything going on.

Relationship Note on Aiden

Simply enough, I like the man. He's passionate about what he does, and has strong opinions about it. That alone would make him worthy of a certain sort of respect. That those opinions tend to run alongside my own, more so. I think I'll have to take his advice and visit the park myself. Maybe while there I can even feel like I'm not confined myself.

Relationship Note on Victus

I now kind of wonder what exactly happened when my patron hit another person with a person. I perhaps I should ask Malik to patient a picture of how I envisioned it happening and send it to the Prince of Maelstrom.

On Birds:

After much careful study, and consultation from scholars and scientists, I have decided to write up a small treaty about birds.

Birds are quite possibly the only creature more talkative than people. This is curious, since most other animals get by just fine without talking all the time. I think this also makes bird quite interesting and dear to us, because they are like us. They also walk on two legs. But everyone knows that.

My interest in birds is in their songs and their talking. Why is it they sing? Why do they talk so much? Why do they make such a racket?

It would seem that birds talk for three reasons:

1. Birds talk to claim something is theirs. They like to say, loudly, that things belong to them. Sometimes, this is to scare other birds (or animals) away: "This nest is mine and you cannot have it". Other times, this isn't so excluding of others: "This tree is mine and you may sit under it but you must know it's mine."

2. Birds talk to the flock. Birds do share with their friends and family, and often a song can mean "hey, there's food over here" or "watch out, the cat is coming!". While this may seem like a good-natured thing to do, it usually isn't. Usually, the bird cares for their flock because it is theirs. They share so that their other birds might be healthier and stronger, but it's still an extension of themselves.

3. Birds talk for mating. I don't think I need to explain this one.

Really, everything said above can be boiled down into: Territory, territory, territory.

That is the bird's focus: their territory. Whether that be their tree, their flock, their food, or their mate.

So, in conclusion, birds are not terribly complex creatures. If you ever find one making noise, stop and look around. You are likely in their territory, or have become their territory.

Relationship Note on Harald

I am honored to have such a distinguished seaman review and critique my work. Perhaps once I see the war ships and have a chance to produce more designs, he will grace me with his opinions once more.

Thanks Victus.

Still, won't be as bad as your hangover.

Looking forward to payback

Relationship Note on Ian

What happened to you was an unfortunate thing, cousin, but the measure of a Kennex is in how he plays out the board when the stones don't fall in his favor. Your legs may no longer work, and you may not be able to fight, but fighting is a poor measure of power. Power comes from strength of wit and from strength of will, not from strength of body. Perhaps Lord Darrow can cut a man down, but Prince Victus can order ten thousand men to their own deaths and they will go - which of the two do you think I consider the more powerful ally?

All of our blood are expected to contribute to the success of Kennex.

Today, I spent most of my time sending out letters about that situation I had after the job that left me with this beautiful scar near my face. I guess that job afterwards left me with other scars too. Anyways, I sent off a variety of messages today to find answers to my questions. I really do not like asking favors from nobles. They might turn into future clients, or some other problem might arise from being in their debt. The great thing is that I went fishing, and a couple of my inquiries was actually known. I am not sure if I am relieved, worried, or confused even more by that knowledge. I am going to head to The Spirits, and see if a couple of drinks will help me decide.

I admit to some curiosity about the couch in question, considering its provenance and its position in certain negotiations . . .

But not _that_ much curiosity.

Well, when Grayson princes deliver they sure fucking deliver. I have a stunning new couch, I can't even describe how amazing it is.

I look forward the first time I break it in.

If anyone wants to see this incredible couch, they need to be willing to help me properly put it through it's paces. I know a great game called Snake in the Grass.

Relationship Note on Juliana

Today I light a candle to Lagoma and offer a prayer of thanks as I feel with a certainty that our paths have crossed at the behest of her will. I meet many people throughout my days, and each are appreciated wholly and genuinely, but in you I am delighted to find a breed of kinship that is rare and precious. Even at your darkest, yours is a heart meant to shine and I am simply grateful for the times you wish to share that light with me.

Cast your worries aside, dear friend and trust the pull of your feet and that wherever you walk, your path will unfurl behind you for yours is not one that has been walked before but of your own making.. and for those of us that follow it will will be in light and warmth and a dazzling beauty of grace.

My birthday always sneaks up on me. It feels like it's been only a few months, not twelve. I suppose there's something to be said for keeping busy.

Things move on as they should, dear priest. I have had some good encounters and one great one in the past several days. I am finding myself more fortunate which makes me wary of the counter balancing of misfortune that I may encounter later.

I am so excited to see Sir Arugula is going to turn stud. Now that I am learning to be quite the horsewoman maybe I can get quite the charger for battle to save my Semiramis for runs that require more stamina. How very exciting! I really must learn more about this horse business! Perhaps my dear friend would be willing to coach me?

It seems my baby brother's betrothal has been forgotten and he is a man of questionable decisions once again. When he was bewitched with a single woman, I did not have to worry about him as often as I did... and now must do again. I suppose I will need to hire Valerius a minder after all to make sure he does not get into fights over nothing or find himself making ridiculous grand gestures just to impress someone he need not impress.

Although there still might be hope he can be tamed.
