Your problem with tea is that you are drinking it wrong.
Just fill at least half the mug with honey.

Relationship Note on Pasquale
Recreate your life, always. Remove the stones, plant rose bushes and make sweets. Begin again.
That is why I eat so many cookies.

Relationship Note on Vincenzo
Having multiple dresses is convenient and nice, for every weather and occurance, but there shall always be a single dress or two that will be your favorite, high quality through fabric and seam, sparkling like no other, fitting you so well and hugging every curve.
Those shall remain in the back of the closet and in the depth of one's heart until their time to shine will come and they will shine brightly and be the envy of every one in the city.
Soon enough.

For my 18th birthday I received a new dress,
Voluminous and shiny and aimed to impress.
I was not quite happy as it did not fit well,
The colors not mine, it wasn’t quite “Belle”.
But my mother has taught me to always be kind
I was grateful, appreciative, to my instincts blind
I paraded my dress from summer to Fall,
But I did not like it, I could not stand tall.
One day a thread has escaped from the stitch,
The fabric turned unpleasant, making me itch.
Unwisely I pulled at the thread, that stray
And quickly a hole formed to my dismay.
The shape was lost, the stitches were loose
The dress was ruined, it was no longer of use.
All blamed me, pointing out it’s my fault,
“You did not guard it well, it belongs in a vault”
They did not know the dress was frilly,
The fabric a fake, the embroideries silly,
I could not prevent it from falling apart,
I claimed my innocence, crossing my heart.
I walked for a year, my eyes looking down
Avoiding the fingers, wagging around,
Until this evening, the tailor came forth,
He admitted it was made with such little worth,
The fabric was cheap, he lied of the cost,
I’d tell you the rest, but the purpose is lost.
My head held higher to hear him confess,
And I promised to never wear another dress.

Sand box in place.
All my ducks in a row.
Two ships floating on the Laurent pool.
Yummy prizes.

Relationship Note on Zara
Often when we try to think about the influence of the choices we made in our lives or those forced upon us, it requires outer prespective. As a young girl I would often complain about having to marry to benefit the House, because it was my duty as one born to a noble house.
A recent conversation with Princess Zara exposed me to perhaps the greatest benefit I got from the entire affair - being able to relate to both sides, Lycene and Oathlander, and speak to their hearts which was a critical factor last time we visited the border.
I pray fate will look down kindly upon us again and I'm happy for friends who manage to shine a light on things we consider darkness.

Relationship Note on Vega
My heartfelt congratulations to Princess Vega and Prince Raimon on the birth of their long awaited first child.
I shall pray to child will grow up in the image of his father and be as lovely as his mother.
I lament I was not there to see the miracle. I'm glad you never left the city!

Relationship Note on Miranda
What bonds unlikely friendships between women?
Joined faith? Mutual concerns? A similar affinity to cause mischief?
What do you get when you combine all those together?
I'm scared. You should be too.

I think the Household's staff are mad at me.
So I dragged some sand for the party favors into the mansion, is that a legitimate reason to declare we're out of flour and cookies cannot be baked? I can see that loaf of bread behind you!!

Back in the basement producing some cherry scented perfume. I grew to really like the fresh sweetness given by this tiny fruit. Whenever I use that scent, it makes me feel... edible. There must be a better way to express that thought.
I have worked late into the night with the vials and when I've come to place a label upon it all I could think was.. in the word “scent”, is it the “s” or the “c” that is silent?
I need some sleep.

Lately I've been spending time in the basement working on some new perfumes for myself. One wrong turn, and well, that wont give anyone anything positive. Blame the fumes and the confinments of the basement but it did make me wonder: if poison expires, is it more poisonous or no longer poisonous?

Relationship Note on Domonico
Grand week for the Malvici family and so congratulations are in order, but not in order of importance:
Lord Domonico - Many blessings onto you for the birth of your first child. May it bring you happiness and pleasure and pride in her upbringing. Other than that, I know nothing about child rearing and bearing, so forgive me for not dishing advice from the uninformed.
Lord Martino - For his new appointment. If your sense of duty is as good as your sense of fashion, the Malvicis are in luck!
Lady Thea - For finally observing good blood! And I have nothing more to add to that.

Such a happy evening! Nothing fills my heart more than the spectacle of my friends having good, clean fun. Well. Perhaps it was not that clean.
I am in awe of the many friends who came to celebrate with me and upon realizing how many have entered my heart since I reached the city. You are all precious to me! Thank you for taking the time to honour me, for having fun, for the gifts and the laughs.
Congratulations to Countess Mikani for having the prettiest cookie in all the lands and to Lord Cahal to having the worst design, but they are both winners! Art is Art!
Enjoy your sweet week-end as you have made mine!

What a way to go. I believe it not. You knew the roads to Acorn Hill like you knew the palm of your hand.
I refuse to believe you just got lost, I refuse to believe you just died. I think you just found a better place for you.
If you did then, I am happy for you and will mourn you no longer, beloved Cousin.
