| − | *'''Alaric''' - My Very Serious Uncle; I do remember being entranced by his mastery of the martial arts – seeing him go through his forms in the gardens on one of his not-frequent visits was poetry to my soul! - and similarly bored senseless by his simple, devout nature. Knowing more than I did as a girl, I can respect the man more; I know the hardships of having to reinvent oneself. | + | *'''Alaric''' - |
| − | *'''Korel''' - A joy, this young man. He is as fiery as I once was, and at the same time gentler than I could ever claim to have been. His visits – the hunts, the duels, the revisitations of old adventures and the telling of newer stories – is perhaps the only thing that makes me feel young and careless again. It is a shame that he will get tied up in House affairs as we enter this uncertain new age. | + | *'''Korel''' - |
| − | *'''Pranzha''' - The solid and dependable stranger that shares my house. He is a decent enough man, and treasured by our children... for which I am forced to admit that I cannot help but resent him some. He is all too happy to grant me room to move, as I am him; his affections lie in the past, while mine look towards the future. I might have to depend more on him now, though; I cannot afford to stand alone. | + | *'''Pranzha''' - |
| − | *'''Hayabusa''' - I can never forget the parties that she hosted; magnificent affairs! Her beauty is legendary and her razor-sharp wit really should be; I don´t pretend to know her affairs, but I couldn´t imagine her being occupied with the little things. I have no idea what she will bring to our table now. | + | *'''Hayabusa''' - |
| − | *'''Aisha''' - Blessed Dragons (and how an appropriate expression is this!), how did you get where you are? I always expected you to choose to stay locked inside temple or tower – and yet, here you are. It is a dangerous game that you are playing, dear Sister, but you might well be our best hope. I will keep an eye out for your connections to Mnemon, though – that bitch never forgets, and more than anyone else she will be happy to se us all burn if it suits her whims. | + | *'''Aisha''' - |
| − | *'''Hinoko''' - So skillful and so proper. Nothing I ever did was ever enough for you to look at me with a kindly eye, was it, Sister? I remember a time when I would have given everything for you to give your approval. Now? I fear that we are both too old to change. My marriage, such as it is, gave you a reason to count me out, but don´t pretend that it really changed anything between us. | + | *'''Hinoko''' - |
| − | *'''Grolush''' - Always keeping to yourself and your precious griffons! They are fierce beasts, so I can definitely see the attraction, but I can´t make heads or tails of you. Are you truly choosing to distance yourself from Dynast affairs? I didn´t use to question your reclusive nature, but as I age I have begun to wonder... | + | *'''Grolush''' - |
| − | *'''Taen''' - Oh, that boy. Irresponsible and self-serving, no doubt; his reputation kind of speaks for itself. Still, he is young and you can´t deny that that husband-wife stunt he pulled was funny as hell. He´ll grow up some day, as most of us do, as long as he doesn´t get it into his head to try to go for a larger target than he can handle. | + | *'''Taen''' - |
| − | *'''Onais''' - Always amicable, always attentive, always competent. He has been a great help through the years, especially the later ones; I honestly don´t know how my ”glorious” rule would have managed to establish itself without a bunch of small but critical favors of his. More so, I have always enjoyed his company; though his tastes run tamer than my own, the man can entertain. | + | *'''Onais''' - |
| − | *'''Medoina''' - I honestly haven´t had a chance to get to know little Medoina, though I do remember her as a small girl. She has made quite a name for herself as an emergent savant, though, and in this she could be a very valuable ally and resource. I need to send her an invitation sooner rather than later. | + | *'''Medoina''' - |
