Relationship Note on Gwenna

Your Highness: What a pity it's proverbially Wednesday. Still, thank you for your advice, and should that Tuesday ever come, I will let you know. Keep in mind, I have lived five more years than you as of two days ago, and all the same, my experience in matters of the heart seems to be much less. Of course, I've been reliably informed I don't have one.

Master Culler: Alas, I'm afraid my talent for doggerel was a proximate cause of the matter's conclusion. Any talents I have in the direction of Jayus are apparently misaligned. That said, I'll take a drink if you'll buy me one, as I'm fairly sure I've bought you several by this point.

To whomever should see this:

When someone you care for no longer appears to care for you, how do you overcome this? Asking for a friend, of course. It seems what I told someone long ago about Limerance vis-a-vis myself has rung true. As much as I dreaded it, I knew all along it was the case.

Relationship Note on Caith

I take it Princess Coraline's horse isn't well-bread?

A bard who makes a killing, no less.

Relationship Note on Sabella

If the highest lesson Master Culler can teach is "how to get a princess to go out with you," then I'm afraid his priorities are sorely misplaced. I hadn't had such a base read of him, but perhaps I will have to lower my opinion.

Don't you have a story to be writing? Hop to it.

Relationship Note on Alarissa

"Though I am quite surprised that he didn't say my sharp wit or tongue."

I'm not.

Relationship Note on Itzal

Have it as you will. But know if I hear a ballad about a man in black and a delicate and artistic princess, I will assume you, not I, are the dark-clad gentleman in question, and will do my very best to share this conclusion with the city at large.

Relationship Note on Itzal

You have a very narrow imagination for a bard. Broaden your scope.

Relationship Note on Sabella

And perhaps seeing if you would rise to the challenge was (pardon the inevitable pun) solely the reason I asked. I did mention a bucket, I believe, which would have spared all but your pride.

I can find you. I've done it before.

Relationship Note on Sabella

I /did/ offer a drink. You refused to take it, sadly.

Does anyone in Arx really believe I have a problem saying what I mean? I have been accused of many things, but I must observe that's a first.

Following Master Culler's format, since I take your hint:

If I wanted to share a kind drink,
I'd have done so already, I think.
You've a Kennex playwright
who can find how to say right,
that offer which I'd never brink.

Your requests for a drink are in vain.
If it's unclear, then let me explain:
I just made the offer
so I could be a scoffer
and watch while you drank the Foolsbane.

... I hope that clarifies matters. I can put it in story format too if you would like. Let me know!

Relationship Note on Sabella

My ears are ringing again. You must have written a lot of journals recently. The question is why the scholars at the Archives persist in showing them to me. It must be some subtle revenge upon my person.

You really should have tried the Foolsbane, though.

Relationship Note on Cassima

I would have said 37, but surely Margerie Keaton has had another birthday between then and now.

Surely you aren't getting married again. What will your new name be?

Relationship Note on Reigna

"[...] able to have a difference of opinion and discuss that without the conversation dissolving into a tense, defensive sort of conflict."

I seem to recall we had a conversation like that once, Countess. I'm open to having another when you are. By the way, happy upcoming birthday. At least you had the good sense to choose the only proper date of the year on which one should have a birthday, and so share it with me.

Relationship Note on Mirari

Surely one or two points of that list I sent you were salient. There were ten of them, after all.

Relationship Note on Venturo

"Should someone only read a snapshot in time of what we document, what wrong assumptions might they jump to?"

I'd suggest that our Whites read as exactly the picture we mean to portray, and that any assumptions others make aren't necessarily wrong but merely the product of impressions left. If you brew a beer with coffee in it, most will say it's too bitter for them, but three or four might like it. Who is right in that circumstance?

Relationship Note on Mirari

For the sake of brevity and to be a sport, I will limit the list to the top ten complaints. I think I should get a gift in return for that kindness. Let's discuss.

Relationship Note on Mirari

Don't worry; there's more besides that. Would you like a list?

By the by, this isn't your perfume, is it? Nobody's sent me a missive yet about its provenance.

Relationship Note on Mirari

"Is there anything this impressive lady can't do?"

She can't be a true blonde, much to what I'm sure is her everlasting regret.
