Relationship Note on Felix
But he came in today, all height and big smile and the coloring of my uncles, and it was a little like seeing a piece of home.
We talked all afternoon, discussed ideas and options for him to find steady work. He told me stories about his weapons, and I plied him with coffee and cookies.
For all that it was casual, I think we both learned a great deal from each other. I look forward to learning more, he knows his trade and loves his work. I can't ask for a better crafter.

But sometimes, an enemy hides behind mystery and myth so we fear the unknown, and because forged Oathland steel can kill them just as easily as anything else. I may not have answers, I may not know where we go next, but I have a sword, and I have a shield, and I have Knights who the measure of their resolve is deeper than the ocean, and vaster than the horizon. I may not have answers, but I will happily stand up to defend our people, my people with all the strength I have. I have many fears and doubts, but fighting and dying for that which I love has never been one of them.

I'd love a moment of respite, or to actually sit down and enjoy a drink with someone without having an ulterior motive behind it.

And coffee. Coffee may well become my new morning vice. I would never have made it to the training center and then tea without that.

She is also the new guildmistress and all that comes with that added stress. I am not sure she realized that part of the station. While there have been bumps, I do believe that I would call her a friend.

This word has been playing upon my mind recently. I am turning it around in my head. Some will say that there is not a true altruistic act. That even in charity one receives the good feelings that stops it from being selfless.
In my time in the city I have thrown galas and parties. I know that to some it seems like a flighty move on my part. A princess with no concern but partying, but I feel that there should be something to rejoice. Something to remind people that life is meant to be enjoyed. To be savored. We have but one of them.
I have attempted to meet with everyone for teas. It is an urge to learn what composes a person and perhaps allow it to in turn affect me. A friendly face perhaps. A learned and shared connection that would not have been realized.
I have assisted in a purchase of a shop to ensure the livelihood of a person. I have clothed people that had no funds to do so. I have checked to see if families, even outside my own ward, needed help or assistance.
Even through this, I find myself questioning. Is it that I was doing this to feel better? Is it that I was doing this to help? I have not always made the best decisions and I would admit that. I am not skilled for war. I do not understand the military tactics that others than me grasp with alarming clarity. It leaves me uncertain how to help the city, the people and those that I come in contact with.
It is not that I am flighty, at least, I hope I am not viewed as such. It is more I am trying to help, but uncertain where I fit in to do so. I have sought those I trust in times of conflict to help me to find resolution. It has not always been a good turn out. I have slowly started filtering who I can trust and it makes me in turn wonder if I am trustworthy.
How does one become trustworthy? For do we all not think we are doing the right thing, even when we are not? It is just after all is revealed that we can see the error. That error is not shown to us if we continue to stride in half-truths and shadowed deceptions. It is hard to know where to step when the light is shone only where you are standing and people are hinting what direction to go without clarity.
So I wonder what makes a person a good person? Is it the acts that they perform when the eyes are upon them? Or is it the acts that they do without a public display? Does it make you good to clothe those that do not have the means, or is that a silly notion in times of war? As well what do you do when you are not suited for war but support those that are, yet in that support it is shadowed and thus not seen? So then do you appear disinterested and that you do not care?
Some days I find myself with more questions than I have answers. I think this day is one of those.

But we need to stay steady, stay calm. Fear has run rampant and is palpable in the air, but we need to stay strong together so that we can weather the oncoming storm. Let us not be reckless now.
