Relationship Note on Vincere

I spoke very harshly about Marquis Vincere after the confrontation in the Iron Garrison. And then I found myself keep vigil in front of the rectory waiting for the Faith give up a man that murdered a High Lord. It is the kind of perfect storm that can quickly get out of hand, and you can never truly be prepared for how things will go. In short I was standing there in the kind of situation that can go wrong despite best intentions and being careful as you can be, and these were the very things I criticized him for.

I knew I could not keep things calm and peaceful on my own, and so I asked Marquis Vincere to help keep the vigil peaceful. Without malice, without any 'I told you so's' and without hesitation he has helped me keep things peaceful and civil here. So far we have been peaceful presence and I would not have been able to keep this vigil so if he had not helped me. I was wrong about Marquis Vincere, he is a man of the finest of character.

I know that saying I am sorry and that I was wrong, does not take back the past, but maybe he likes bacon. I can send him maple bacon and apple cider. Everyone likes both of those things right?

Relationship Note on Salazar

Forgot that life is never really boring with you, taking me on the most interesting adventures. Though next time we do something like that, I could do without the copious amounts of fire.

It was but a game; All a ruse to get what you wanted and you have succeeded. I realize I am young and naive, still looking onto the world with rose colored glasses. That glimmer of hope is now gone. The veil stripped from my eyes. You picked your pieces and stacked them against me when I wasn't looking, when you distracted me with the one thing I wanted. I was a fool. Never again.

I have contracted for, and retained the services of the Crimson Blades, building a new chapter house on Darkwater to support them. It will be a good expansion of my power in the Saffron and a damn hard surprise for any shavs trying to hit us.

Which... I admit... I think is a very real possibility.

My new armor is complete.

Master Torian did the base work, and the quality is decent enough. It's a complex set of armor, so I am not displeased.

Mistress Alarie did the finishing work, as well as the cloak. I am confident when I return to the sea, I will present a fearsome visage to the Shavs.

I've ordered an apron with a big pocket for the mice, so Chip will be forced to go out more and Boots will have more freedom to do so...

I'm not sure if it's a really good idea or a terrible one, but if doesn't work, I can always use it on the gardens to gather herbs...

Relationship Note on Calathane

An interesting fellow. A decent head on his shoulders, if he can remove them from being buried in between the...preoccupations that this city has to offer. Not that I am one to judge, mind! Been down that path very often myself, which is why I am warnin-Scholar, stop squinting at me- warning the fellow to focus on his word.

Yes, that first part was a play on words, you daft man.

Met a lovely young woman by the name of Luna today. Had no shoes! I know the situation in the city is desperate at times, especially for people in the lower Boroughs, but this did bring it home more than the day usually does. I took her to get some boots made at the shop of my excellent friend Morrighan. It's just across from the Bank, I'd really recommend it for anyone looking for good clothing this winter.

She also had a pet 'performing bear'. I admit, that was a new one for me.

Autumn rolls back into the city with a crisp kiss of air I am still not used to. I miss my home; I miss Tor. The house in Arx has been eerily quiet. Not that he was loud or boisterous. But his presence was greater than one would have imagined. For all that I would do to annoy him on purpose, I would gladly take it all back to have him here. What is a rose without her thorns?

I got boots! No barefoot for me this winter! The people in this city are so terribly kind! I could sing until the sun comes up!

[ From the desk of B. Mercier, Tea Shop Mistress: ]

The following is based on my own experiences and observations on the subject.

Grief is a natural reaction to loss. The person experiencing the loss feels like they have had something taken away. Grief may be experienced mentally, physically, socially, or emotionally depending on each individual.

Emotional reactions may include: anger, guilt, sadness, and utter despair. Physical reactions can include sleeplessness, appetite changes, physical problems, or possible illness. Social reactions can include feelings of responsibility for other family members, having to communicate with family or friends, feelings of being isolated... or difficulty going back to work.

Forming valuable relationships will help to make it easier to live in the present.

Despite all that has happened, I think it important that we remain faithful to the Pantheon and still support the work that the Faith does.

Relationship Note on Leona

Leona Thrax has long been unwelcome in my family. She made a choice once to defy my Lord Uncle, the Prince of Maelstrom, and there are and have been consequences to that.

But he has passed, and done is done, and oaths were sworn that cannot be easily broken.

And ultimately I find that I would have had a greater contempt for an oathbreaker cousin than I do a girl who ran off to be a knight and excelled at it.

So while I did not approve of her choice then, and still do not, she is my kin by blood and she is no longer unwelcome as far as I am concerned.

They're everywhere. I've been in the same room as more than half a dozen princes and princesses. One tried to reassure me he liked me by telling me what he'd do if he didn't. I just wanted some cider to drink.

It doesn't matter what I'm doing, someone noble keeps showing up. On patron, fighting in the training grounds, trying to eat my lunch. Nobles, they're all over this city.

I tried asking a friendly half-giant what to do, and he suggested I do what he did. I ended up shouting ladyship at two nobles near the city center, and everyone stared at me. I need better advice.

I'M A GUARD! AN IRON GUARD! I DID IT!

I've already sent a bunch of letters back home with some of my starting pay. They gave me all this armor to wear and it is heavy but I'm determined to be the best iron guard they've ever seen.

Not only that, but I'm working alongside a PRINCESS. I had no idea they could or even would join the guard. I remember all the stories about princes and princesses when I was growing up, they were all such important people with special destinies.

And... And I remember the stories about what happens to a commoner that forgets their place. This is scarier than monsters.
