It is not often that so many Graysons and Grayson loyalists are able to come together in one place, and for that I am thankful to cousin Dawn for her organisational skill in making such an event possible.
I am hesitant to describe the events themselves, however. There are many layers to things that happened, as well there might be with so many ambitious personages in company. The most important, of course, was that there was good food and wine to sate the appetites of the hungry, and there was just a little bit of intrigue to sate the appetites of the ludicrous.
I fear, however, that the rabid loyalty to our dear Lady Dawn displayed by those present will become a detriment overlong if we do not see some signs of action to back up those words.
Time will tell, I suppose. Though I don't doubt that those words have been the death of many a patient man.

Well that was enlightening. The steak was splendid, too.
When I left the manor I was accosted by a messenger with another large order for my shop. This one seems like it will be fun, though, much like Prince Edain's beloved table. Enough details to give me a direction on where to go, but enough leeway to express my own creativity. Challenge accepted.

Relationship Note on Talen
The Sword of Lenosia is quite formidable with, well, a sword. I've seen him in action multiple times, and had the delightful opportunity to witness his skill up and close during the Grayson melee. It's not uncommon to see him accompanying a member of the Velenosa family out to various gatherings. Funny, quick witted, it's always a welcome sight to see him around.

The meeting with House Grayson and its allies did not go as well as I hoped; there is dissent and too much cleverness but not enough focus.
Such things must be refined. Large groups are not ideal to discuss policies where opinions are flung like arrows in search for a target, any target, and spoken as much to be seen as speaking as to aim.
There is work to be done. I must not be distracted.

Relationship Note on Brianna
Halfshav, I typically do not have much good to say on that level. I do not know Brianna all that well either, but the curves on display are enough to make a note about. Front and back, and she knows it too. Don't let her try and fool you either.

Today...
What is there to say about today?
The morning started off normal enough. Then after a healthy stroll, I was able to procure an item that i had had my eye on for a few days. While it wasn't anything uniquely special, it was just what I wanted. For the most part today has been a very good day.
Tomorrow will bring yet another good day, I'm sure.

I know, it's an odd request, but please humor me. There are not quite enough people that make me laugh as Mistress Joscelin does, and I need this recorded so that I can look back and amuse myself with it. Yes...just like it is here on the note she sent. Thank you so kindly.

Relationship Note on Ida
I've observed Ida use this beautiful planishing hammer to smooth out the surface of her more intricate pieces, specifically hairpins, an item she makes that I would love to learn to use and wear myself.
She's been out and about for most of the week, and it's no fun stealing things from her when she isn't around.
So I did. Today.
It's a very pretty hammer. I polished before I used it because Ida uses steel and the peen was all dented and gouged. It's as smooth as silk now, and as shiny as a new mirror.
And all mine. It sits on my pillow, gleaming, as I write this.
I think I'm going to name it 'Ida-no'.

Likely already rumors abounding that I took Juliet to go see the beaches. I do not care much about rumors. She said she was new to the city, and I hadn't been to the beaches since Juliet's cousin, Calista had her beach party. So I figured one Fidante might enjoy the beach as much as the other apparently does. She seemed to enjoy the chat, and I flirted like the northman I am. Was an evening I ended up not getting drunk, and yet was still enjoyable.

Relationship Note on Juliet
Met this Lady in the Ambassador, she was in the company of two Courtesans, this along with the fact she looked like trouble and shared similar features to Calista made me guess she was likely a Fidante. I was right. She is a cousin to Calista. We sat and chatted in the Ambassador after the two courtesans left, then I took her to see the beaches. Was an enjoyable meeting.

I purchased a giant painting of myself from Enzo and put it on the wall of my stateroom. I can't help but feel intimidated by the man's glare, my own, and it empowers me with confidence. It also reminds me that the only threat I face, will come from within. I am my worst enemy. Thoughts best pushed aside and concentrated on my current tasks at hand. It was not my intent to scare you but to show you that I am a man to fear. To show off my resolve and my strength in order to motivate my allies to come alongside me. I am too tired for war.

Relationship Note on Ophelia
Ah, my dearest of nieces. Ophelia is certainly very dear to me. She has a sense of humor, that is so clever. True, most of the times I'm not sure if she realizes she's being humorous and that is perhaps part of her charm. She reminds me that even during my most serious moments, there is room to take the time and make a dear niece happy, sometimes with the simplest of things. Sometimes, with the strangest of things, but usually with little effort on my part. Her devotion to her brother is admirable, and while I once thought it misplaced, I don't think that's the case anymore.

The Hollow of the Lower Boroughs is not a soft place, a place for lords and ladies -- but tonight it swarmed with them. Talen was there, and half the Lyceum was there, too. He lost his fight -- a pity -- but it was hard fought. You may have heard, at the end of the fight, that I rushed to his side, and kissed him. It's just, seeing him there, fallen, in the dirt and the blood and the broken glass ... he looked so alone. I could not bear it.

Relationship Note on Luca
When Luca first arrived to Arx, I wasn't sure if well, it would work out for him. I wasn't impressed, at all. And until recently, I continued to have doubts about how well he would do here in this city. Not many people prove me wrong, but Prince Luca has. It seems that the devotion his sister shows for him is warranted. The man proved himself during the Grand Melee, winning the battle for House Velenosa, and doing so with a very peculiar approach to his defense. With the proper guidance and direction, but really incentives, I think the prince might achieve great things.

Relationship Note on Kima
Of course, I've ran into Lady Kima before. But it wasn't until recently that I had a chance to sit down with her and really talk. I was curious how she was going to react after I interrupted her during the fight at the Hollow. And while I can't say I was surprised by her, I admit I was impressed. That doesn't happen often. Our conversation left me with a good impression of the woman, and I'm looking forward to when we get a chance to speak again.

Relationship Note on Talen
Talen Artiglio, the Sword of Lenosia and the prime protector of the Velenosa royalty. His devotion to them is clear, and it speaks well of his character but... Look, I understand that when it comes to a real fight, you protect your charge at any cost, and this requires a certain ruthless instinct, but seeing him willing to to such levels in even friendly contests just grates on me. Also I have seen him fight, and even crossed swords with him in a Grand Melee and it is clear to me that the man is a better fighter than I am. I am ashamed of my own pettiness but by the Gods admitting that bothers me deeply, more than it should.
