Relationship Note on Ida

I remember this one time we got drunk and she said 'Oats and steel' and we could not stop laughing for over an hour. I think I called you the 'iron pony' the next morning as I was hungover and you were not. OATS AND STEEL.

Relationship Note on Ida

The only thing I really miss about having my hair long was the beautiful things I could wear in it, and I think the moment I met Ida all those years ago, it was some incarnation of her hairpins of another. Nearly always. And so versatile. You can stab, maim, or throw them and see if they stick. I think once I used them to skewer chocolates in front of her and she was quite delighted. VERSATILE. Tell everyone. Buy from Ida Ferron.

I'm wondering now if she makes iron baby rattles.

Relationship Note on Ida

Not only stabbing! But also bashing! My hammer is a piece of Dame Ida's and it has served me well for all manner of bashing, bludgeoning, clubbing, battering, hammering and clobbering! Not only is it wonderfully effective, but it is beautiful and looks like a roaring bear! Dame Ida is a master!

As far as I'm concerned, Dame Ida can make all of my weapons forever. She's just that good.

Relationship Note on Ida

I don't wish to embarrass Dame Ida terribly by piling on the compliments, but I have to make a record of my gratitude to her. Hawkbear is a thing of true beauty and savagery! I may not yet have a collection of Ferron weaponry as vast as Prince Luca's, but perhaps one day. I've never been anything but amazed by her imagination and workmanship. My wondrous hawk bow, and its matching hairpins and now this wonderful cutlass, all are gorgeous and masterfully crafted.

Thank you, Dame Ida.

Relationship Note on Ida

I spent a good part of this morning going through and seeing to the cleaning of my blade collection. Well. Giuseppe helped. Or maybe he did most of the work and I drank. But I /was/ there for it. And awake.

Anyway, my point is, I noticed I now own eleven pieces of Dame Ida Ferron's fine craftsmanship. Not that I am complaining. They look beautiful, and they're more than just easy on the eyes, too. I should know. I'm nearly considering getting a separate display case for her work. To paw through it would be a journey of white dragon hilts spewing forth flames down blades, regal griffins washed in sunset copper, a weapon that evokes the wings of ravens against silver moonlight, breeze-blown autumn foliage and glistening sunshine on winter pines between two different longswords. That's less than half of them!

..maybe I'll have Giuseppe commission a second display case.

If you end up riding anywhere with a gift shop, remember to bring back something nice for the new house, dear.

This woman is going to bankrupt me with her beautiful work. It is killing me.

I need a new shelf.

I would love to see some mountain or cold weather animal themed items. But that is my personal bias showing.

Play upon the hours of the day. For that's got plenty to offer. Besides, the colours are gloriously sunny.

You're going to bankrupt me.

Do you do lilies, Dame Ida? I'd love to see lilies.

I am the proud owner of some roses you did, though. A great many of my hairpins are your work and I adore them so.

A great many thanks to Dame Ida Ferron for presenting herself, providing her time and efforts toward a most noteworthy cause. You have my sincere appreciation.

If there is to ever be a next time and your opponent is absent, I will readily volunteer Prince Talen to showcase your talents.

Hell of a boxer. We'll get our chance one day, Dame Ferron. Of that I'm certain!

Relationship Note on Ida

If I say something shitty and pass it off as "just a joke" or "that is my personality, so it's fine", I deserve far more than just a punch to the face.

Also, dear Ida, remember to give Marquis Rymarr lessons in fisticuffs. So begins the daily reminder.

I need to remember to write a letter to you so that I may ask for more lessons in fisticuffs.

Relationship Note on Ida

I think I can speak for both Edain and I when I say that no, it is we who are lucky! Every weapon I've commissioned from you has truly been a work of art. You always capture not just the best design of a weapon, but the soul of the person wielding it. We're so blessed to have you as our Hammer of the West, a Knight in every sense of the word.

I do not know what we would do without you, and I am so very happy for you and your husband-to-be.

Relationship Note on Ida

This is probably the nicest blade I have ever held in my own hand, and I owe it all to you, dear. Thank you. Thank you for everything you do for me, and for being in my life. Know that every time I come home from the horrors to come? That you were responsible, for without your blades? I probably would not.


And as an aside, many thanks to Dame Alexis for the armor, for much the same reason as the swords.

Relationship Note on Ida

I was pleasantly surprised as I was perusing the stack of journals brought to me, to see Ida mention that she was to be wed. I do not know her as well as others, but... I know this:

Ida is one of the most talented people in all of Arx. She is also one of the kindest and most generous. She absolutely deserves all the happiness in the world, and if this man brings it to her, I am beyond thrilled for her.

Congratulations on your happiness, Ida. And Gerard, whoever you are... you have won the hand of an amazing woman. I hope you know how fortunate you are... and how much you will suffer at the hands of others if you ever hurt her (as has already been mentioned in the whites).

I hear congratulations are in order! I'm very happy for you, and it's about time! Heh. If he hurts you, though, rest assured I'll help you pummel him. Fire may or may not be involved.

My sister is getting married again. I am very pleased for her. Though I should probably see about soundproofing.
