Relationship Note on Darren

I was told that Prince Darren was a pleasant man, but I am pleased to know that he lived up to that particular reputation. The meeting we had, while perhaps not on the best subjects, was at least a good one, and we seemed to be on the same page about a few things.

I had no desire to be the bearer of unpleasant news, but he and his sister took it well. I would like, in the future to share drinks with him again.

Decision made. Rubicund, as much I have wanted to achieve working it sooner rather than later (mostly because it's really diamondplate I want to get to), will indeed have to wait. I'm going to focus back on training and fighting for a bit, as commissions allow. They have been somewhat light, as of late, which seems to line up the time to train just that more easily.

I received a painting the other day, from the mind of one Master Carver - my now officially titled Most Elucidatory Counselor - and the skill of his partner Master Belardi. Not just any painting, but possibly the best kind of painting a person like me could ever wish for. It's bloody, and whiskey-touched and well... really, really large. I almost feel bad for the messenger and getting it through the doors was kind of a hassle, but as far as paintings go, it's amazing.

Sir Silas Mercier completed the prizes for the Gala in miraculous time, and I'm very much looking forward to Mistress Joscelin's favors. I find them both easy to talk to, whether over stew-dipped biscuits or late-night shop invasions of the secretive sort.

Relationship Note on Benjamin

Benjamin Carver is my new best friend. I'm not sure if he is aware of such, but it is true even if he disagrees. We have the same focused goals, granted his are a bit different and involve gross things, while mine are nothing but beauty. I worry without my attention he is going to kill himself. I also worry that with my attention, I might kill him.

I am honored, truly, to be listed as one of the points of contact for the Grand Duchess and Duke's event for clothing. It shows that my hard work at being recognized as one of the leading seamstresses in the city has come to bear fruit. I have decided to have some ideas ready should there be anyone who wishes to have something crafted, though with it only being only so many days away, I should really start doing that instead of this.

Relationship Note on Isolde

I have absolutely, positively no idea what to make of Princess Isolde. But if she's interested in my company, I will provide it. It may prove useful.

Met up with Mistress Acacia earlier today. Gossip was exchanged and she hired me for a project, which I have since completed. Hopefully to her satisfaction.

I think we both left the tavern enlightened with some things and puzzled about others. I have some things to look into.

Also, I have discovered that glass is much trickier to cut than wood. Always wear gloves.

Relationship Note on Salazar

What a bafflingly exhausting man. I am not certain, but he may be part peacock. He is pleasant, though, and Aislin likes him, which is a mark in his favor.

Rubbish! Everything in my wardrobe is rubbish! It makes me feel sad just peering into it.

Clearly the only way to resolve that terrible feeling in my stomach is to burn it all and start over.

Fortunately Miss Aurora has come up with a style that promises to make me shine as I ought to! But what shall I wear with it... I have no jewelry that will match this lovely ensemble.

Oh dwelling on it brings back that terrible feeling again so I shall not. Instead I will hope and pray to the good gods that some kind soul remedies my fashion crisis before it becomes too great an issue!

The evening was enchanting. Crimson sun embraced grey clouds and I could see their fluffy frames light up in passionate tones. I felt how the chilly waves tickled my toes and I was slowly sinking into unsteady ground. Though, a breeze entangled my curls and its playfulness stirred me from the charms of the magical sunset. Waves breaking onto the coast, the quietly blowing wind, rustling leaves and the hooting of an owl created a magnificent melody and I did not even notice how my hand raised up and my feet started to move. By the time the sun lay down with the clouds into sheets of silent night, I created a new dance.

Relationship Note on Joscelin

It’s like not a day has passed, despite the fact that I’ve been gone for the better part of the last few. Laughing and talking and not missing a beat in the dance that is our friendship.

I had not realized how much I missed her.

My mother and father, the ones that raised me, were very obviously not the ones that made me. I knew that fairly young. Tall, blond, blue-eyed, and fair as a bowl of cream. Also more concerned about ledger books and family reputation than I ever have. They love me, but I don’t think they’ve ever understood me.

Joscelin was the first to make me feel accepted for what I am and not for the things that I can never be. She never worries about my lack of husband or marriage prospects. Never a whisper about how I’m wasting my life on ships and in caravans. She understands. She sees *me*. I don’t know if I have any blood siblings in the world, but she’s as close to one as I suspect I will ever know.

Relationship Note on Viktarkim

In my heart, I know that he does not deserve to be blamed for what has happened to me. But it's hard for me to look at him, see those tattoos, the shape of his face, and not recall the horror of what I have known. It is not his fault. He deserves to be treated as an individual, worthy of judgment by virtue of his own accomplishments and failures. And so that is what I shall try to do.

Relationship Note on Gareth

I confess to being uncertain as to how to sum up my feelings regarding Prince Gareth. We are both survivors of shav atrocities, even if he wears his trauma on the outside as mine is hidden within. He is eloquent and witty and intelligent, all features I appreciate. I could even call him handsome despite the scar. But he carries his pain like he himself is a walking wound, and like any animal in pain, lashes out at others. Not to mention his vocation is appalling. And yet...I think he is lonely. If I continue to maintain a presence in his company, I may enjoy myself, but must remember at the end of everything, who and what he is.

Redrain Prince, serious fighter and crusty son of a bitch. Doesn't like me because of what I am, even though his House is full of Shavs.

Thrax Lord, loathed me as soon as he laid eyes on me. Fugly bastard. I'll keep an eye on him when he's around.
