Relationship Note on Mabelle
Upon my return from what was presumed to be my death, she was one of the people who welcomed me back and had questions to ask, all of which I answered in kind.
She was generous and always willing to lend a listening ear, as well as provide information. I had many questions of my own, which she took the time and patience to answer.
It was thanks to Lady Mabelle's idea that I could revisit the place of my family's death, learn from it, and draw strength. Lady Mabelle never judged me, and she never asked for a price in return for her help. Despite having met for only about a year, I considered her a dear friend.
Mabelle the Builder was a woman gifted with a unique vision and the will to make her ideas come true. Artshall is fortunate to have had such a dutiful, faithful, loving daughter and is all the poorer for her loss. I will miss her and hope to see her again in my next turn of the Wheel.
If I could have my opinion heard regarding who deserves to be in the Oathlands' section of the Hall of Heroes as an addition, it would be Lady Mabelle the Builder, Mabelle the Stalwart, Mabelle the Generous.
May the next generations of the Oathlands learn from her what it means to be dutiful.

Relationship Note on Mabelle
I've since calmed down. And I trusted Mabelle enough where she could gladly give my children cookies.
I saw her love for Artshall, and the arts in general, and sweet things. But even honey is made by a bee, which will sting to defend its home and hive.
Also like a bee, that sting will cost her life. I don't think she regretted or hesitated that sacrifice at all.

You were a kindred troublemaker. A generous woman and a creative spirit. A friend for so very many years.
I will make sure your art collection returns home to Artshall, in a manner befitting of you.

Relationship Note on Mabelle
Was defending Artshall with your life the noble thing to do? Of course it was. Mabelle, you did what was right, and honorable. Many will now live thanks to your sacrifice. It's a comfort that it wasn't for nothing, and that you chose your time and chose well. Should we all survive this, I hope your name is never forgotten.
I wish you could have seen that horrid black tide of demons break and fall away from Artshall's walls. It was a victory you deserved to savour with us.
On behalf of everyone, thank you.

Relationship Note on Mabelle
Lady Mabelle Laurent came to be a far dearer friend to me than I think I ever let her know. She and I, when we put our heads together, created wondrous things. She was a brilliant woman - as smart as she was fashionable. Her genius will last beyond these horrors, beyond these lifetimes, and I am sure it will inspire generations beyond. From the creation of exquisite fabrics like starlight silk (I owe some success with windspun wool and peachskin to expertise and support) to her charitable works with the Honey Havens to her artistic preservation endeavors in galleries through Arvum to her extreme dedication to Artshall, she worked tirelessly on projects that few could forget.
More personally, she trusted me with something that I still don't - and may never - know the full consequences of. She trusted me on a whim, and for every single person who benefited from the protection of certain malissite necklaces at Harrow Hall, she is owed thanks. She is the one who removed the barrier I needed removed to gain the guidance I sought in order to create them. She also helped in creating the solution used to destroy the thorns at Harrow Hall, and if my newest project is a success, she will have had a hand in that, too.
Thank you, Mabelle, for all you did. While I will honor you for the hero you came to be, I will choose instead to remember fixing your hair for you at the Fire Bee or chatting at the Saving Grace gardens, or - this, the last time I saw you - at Lottie's with sweets and talk of lists that maybe neither of us were joking about.
You were one of the best of us, and I'm blessed to have known you in this lifetime.

Relationship Note on Mabelle
Now it would be terribly selfish of me to say all that, and yet still wish that you'd not leave your present home and House. So I'll not do it, even if it is strange to imagine you as residing elsewhere, and no longer answering to the name, Lady Mabelle Laurent. Everything is changing!
So my friend, please try not to set fire to anything in your new home on the islands, and may the gods bless you and House Harthall.

Happy Birthday, Lady Mabelle may you see many more.
Oh and scholar? This time I didn't get a drink thrown in my face. That is a win win in my book.

Relationship Note on Mabelle
We managed to meet for a bit today, though not to gossip or talk about the fashions we both so love. Sometimes, especially these last few years, there just isn't time when there are so many other challenges before us. Still, the warmth of the Laurent library and shared goals are things I am grateful for this day.

I think I have just the set of bracelets to go with it, as well. I hope I will soon have occasion to demonstrate the therapeutic benefits of such a thoughtful remedy.
The world may be gripped by winter, but I have received a warm welcome back to the city, so far.
And my hair is so soft! And smells like honey. How would it do in a perfume, I wonder, if it has such staying power?
