Relationship Note on Joscelin

Clients can and often are WRONG! You can and SHOULD say no! Even your blind little trader over there tried to think that he knew better, trying to pair gold and purple and light blue with /feathers/. And I said no.

And you know what? I was right to.

You should have as well!

Being Called to Jayus isn't just about making and creating. Sometimes it's about receiving the inspiration meant for another and passing it on. This isn't as simple as it sounds. You don't often know what it is you carry until another artisan or peer looks at you, shows you their work and says, "what do you think?" or "can I borrow your eyes?" or "I hate this color. What the bloody hell am I supposed to do with a client's poor taste?"

I can only hope my advice is fruitful and pray I'm forgiven for pairing crimson and maroon and that Myrinda never sees my maker's mark.

I dreamt I remarried and bore children again. A sad dream, but my babes had green eyes and freckles. I don't think I know anyone who looks like that.

And they were blonde. What on earth would I do with blonde children? Eat them?

The delegation is in the process of getting underway. I am excited and looking forward to it, and I hope the journey fruitful and perhaps uneventful, at least on the way. I'm in the process of upgrading my armor, I've inquired as to whether or not I will need a horse of if I'm meant to travel by foot.

I pray I'm not meant to jog the whole way. We height-challenged are natural sprinters and wasted on cross-country.

I had to leave early from the Explorers' society, but what I heard was interesting enough to keep me coming. I wonder if this really is what I was destined for, my wanderlust serving a purpose not just for me, but for my Family, my House, and even the Compact itself. It's an uncomfortable though and will always remain so, but I am hopeful that the Purpose will help put me at ease.

I have finished it! My first, short novel, about a lonely girl and the haunted mirror. Also three murders, one suicide, two imprisonments, and one incident 'too scandalous to specify outside the Lyceum.'

Next I will have to make it better. And publish.

In traders tavern, raucous and loud,
The nobles did enjoy and consume,
The freemen were not quite bowed,
Yet t’was still not a royals tea room.

The cold spring evening was daft and draft,
The conversation spinning, quite cheerfully so,
Princesses and Lords and makers of craft,
All locked in the verbal riverine rapidical flow.

Discussion of dogs and houses and daring do,
Topics ranging from family to politics sprightly,
Carpenters, sailors skulking, sipping their brew,
While young nobles pranced about so knightly.

Another day, another opportunity to put my foot in my mouth. I don't know how I am going to survive the week, let alone the summer here.

In my head, it all worked out so well, so much better than the reality. I played it out over and over on the cold nights travelling here. How I'd set up my own little shop, supply lots of dignified people with weapons, mass a fortune, and send it home to pa so he can retire and live a comfortable life. But life just doesn't quite work out like that.


I should meet up with Joscelin Arterius, perhaps she can offer some much needed sagely advice to this inept traveller.

I received a gift today that is meaningful to me. I find that in abscence it helps but it is no substitute for the actual physical presence. I'm not the whining sentimental sort. In fact, I would say I'm mercurial at best and my moods are fleeting and diverse. Lately I've grown more accustomed to Arx and not living my life as if I am reaving upon the Salt. It's been a slow adjustments but one I'm growing more accustomed to as the seasons turn.

Relationship Note on Sylvie

Such a different person from her sister-in-law, it seems. I cannot deny that there is something compelling about her, but perhaps it is only that we are so different as well.

Relationship Note on Cara

The things you tell me disturb me deeper than I would care to admit. It must be connected, but I don't yet know how.

I cannot say for sure that I'm glad to be back in the city, but I am back and it is somehow a relief. It worries me while I'm away to think my family needs protecting from something of which I do not yet know how to protect them.

Relationship Note on Anze

Anze is the brother of Fergus and Freja.I haven't had much of a chance to speak to him, but he seems to have a good head on his shoulders. A damned good fighter, from what I've been told by peers. The few times we've crossed paths, he's kept me in good spirits with humorous quips. Sometimes he's incredibly insightful when I least expected it, too.

Relationship Note on Victus

Gruff he may be, he's a good man. One just has to be patient, and not be easily cowed by his withering looks and grunted "Fuck off"'s. Ply him with a good rum and whisky and he'll tolerate any lady long enough to make something of a friendship of it, so long as you're tolerable. True fact.

I have recently began my service with the Sovereign's Own Royal Guard, or King's Own more commonly. The Lord Commander seems to be a strong warrior. She strikes me more as the sort of individual who doesn't wish to be bogged down by scrolls, conversations, and niceties. She wants to be in battle, doing her duty, and being where steel meets steel. Talking about possibilities seems to only give her some cause for either frustration or anxiousness, I can not tell.

The Lady Regent also paid a visit. She seems to be a very optimistic sort. She's brought news to the tower, as well as made it clear that she supports our mandate and wishes to work with us. It is likely why she is the Regent and I am not. I also do not smile nearly as often as she.

Relationship Note on Aksel

Sword of Nightgold. Likes his stories and his whiskey, though I hope he is smarter now to know not to wrestle a bear when other drunken asses are goading you on.

Lady Regent. She seems optimistic and very supportive of the King's Own and our mandate.

Relationship Note on Cybele

Another Shaman, but a Shav, from the North. I don't know what to make of it, whatever it prefers to be called. It is smart and with a good wit about it. I think it will be a good addition to our faith represented in the South.

Relationship Note on Gisele

A dark red bird perches on a flowered branch, its feathers puffed up, its dark eyes half-closed. The branch is a riot of color, a highly unrealistic riot of color in fact. Have there ever been yellow, white, cyan, lilac, orange, magenta flowers all on one branch, nearly crowding out the fresh green leaves of spring? You can hardly see the bird itself for all the flora. Bird looks cozy, though.

Relationship Note on Gisele

I've never met her personally, but certainly /unusually/ understanding about accidental paintings. And her books are beautiful.
