How nice it is to surprise strangers with a natural thing of beauty.

Relationship Note on Dante

It seems Lord Dante Fidante has furniture on his basement ceiling. I wonder whatever could have happened.

Sometimes it is best to let a battle we do not need to win be won by someone else.

Relationship Note on Silvio

I don't know, I think your outfits might just blind any threats away.

Well I guess it’s nice to know which commoners think punching nobility is no big deal.

For all I find pushing envelopes and testing boundaries fun as a true-blue Velenosa, I cannot seem to get behind shrouding my person in the outfits of the lost heathens of our world. They cause damage to our crops and livestock, to our very lives. Exotic-ising and romanticizing such people is cruel to the men and women of the Compact who have laid down their souls, to those who have lost family. I cannot, in good conscious, condone that.

I would've honestly thought the Compact would look on a literal event I set up to poison a whole bunch of nobles with more skepticism but, you know, all's well that end's well. No one died. Could've. Didn't.

Ah, see, I prefer my love to come with a certain ...bite.

Thank you for the education.

What is the point of a rose without a thorn?

My handmaid just told me she would like to leave service to marry and start a family.

I don't really mind but I have a feeling one of my cousins may play a sartorial trick on me and I may never catch on.

While we're on the subject of Lycene rulers and their flowers... Lilies are also -notably- poisonous to cats and dogs.

This is not a warning to anyone with a shoe eating dog.

...What the heck kind of flower would I be for this Velenosan ball? Jaenelle. Help.

Relationship Note on Niccolo

I cannot think of a member of the peerage more deserving of a fond eulogy than Niccolo, though I am pretty annoyed that he forgot to remind his barkeep to let me behind the bar at the Black Fox before he passed. Now it's a complicated system of lies to get into that room and let me tell you: I have yet to find a more comfortable chair for reading than back there.

The Lyceum weaves a tangled web of family lines and ties by design. We value when our family solidifies those ties via marriages and when someone joins our house, he or she becomes one of our own: Velenosa. A Fox. To lead the Lyceum is an artful job, and one held by some of the most brilliant minds I've lucked to not only meet but call my family.

Niccolo was one of those artful rulers and his influence pulsed through more than his own titled reign. Niccolo helped our political climate by magnanimously lending his experience and thoughts to those who came so successfully after him. I was witness to his sharp mind -- and dry wit -- and I am a better noble for it, as were others who came across his path.

And that is the legacy of House Velenosa: our strengths, we pass forward to those around us, so that our leaders may grow ever better.

And so they do.

Relationship Note on Arman

Perhaps next time you should do as great grandfather Baldasarrio did when he found himself bored at parties and simply yawn --enthusiastically-- in peoples' faces.

Relationship Note on Gaspar

Any noble house that doesn't post room assignments in its personal halls is AN ENVOY OF CHAOS AND MADNESS, do you HEAR ME, Berenice?!

No I canNOT just knock, thank you.

Niccolo. How will I ever demand access to the back of the bar again at the Black Fox.
