Relationship Note on Joscelin

Now I'm wondering if I need to stop by to visit...and ensure all corners and semi-sharp edges are heavily covered over with cotton stuffing and leather.





Also, to see you, because I haven't for a while.

Relationship Note on Joscelin

Magpie loved the cuff, Josie! I do too! Thank you so much for making that for us. Now he's got something to remember me and Pie when we're not with him.

Also, for anyone else needing stuff made, you can't do any better than Josie. I mean Joscelin. She listens to what you say, then makes it up just right. I know I might be a little biased, since we're practically, almost family now, but it's all true!

I am having my personal accounts brought up to date even as I write this. The brooch crafted in silver branches that you designed is one of my favorite pieces that I am rarely without. Really, it should have a family.

Look what your husband has done now. Just /look/.

I suppose there are far worse things than being reminded of one's excellent choices, but I may need you to come over and hide that copy. Maybe in a pie. Under Austen's bed.

It was less about "guessing" and more that... I could think of why, but didn't want to say it, or say it in the wrong manner, because....

Well, I don't want a hammer thrown at me if I say the wrong thing or in the wrong way.

Pregnant women can be very scary.

Not that you are! I mean, you are lovely! Positively radiant and gorgeous! And totally not scary!!!

Unless you want to be scary.... then you are downright frightening....


Anyway, see what I mean?

I have a guess or two why you are obsessed with food......

But, Lottie's pies (and bars and cookies and cakes and candies and chews and every damn thing she makes) are so BEYOND good that I think many people might be obsessed with them for good reason that has absolutely nothing to do with eating for two....

I know I am. Obsessed that is.

Sooo...what you're saying is that I can probably count on not finding pies under Austen's bed for awhile, yes?

Though I will see if Matron Teldra will add some tarts to my weekly basket just for you!

One mother to another... just roll your eyes, shake your head, give him a kiss, and go on about your day. He'll figure it out eventually.

Relationship Note on Joscelin

I was starting to lose hope in finding a good teacher -- perhaps I should work on my patience -- and then not one, but two appeared before me. Today, Joscelin leader of the Crafter's Guild invited me over and spent the entire day with me helping me learn the ins and outs of metalworking. She told me that I wouldn't be leaving until my smithing would be on par with all but the most skilled experts in the city, and that was no empty boast.

After that, I took my spare funds and went and hired a weaponsmith to craft me a rubicund halberd named Zephyr. With it I came within inches of beating Holt, a man I could hardly scratch days before. Things are turning out pretty nicely.

Relationship Note on Joscelin

Once more she has astonished me with her work and superlative skill. This doesn't surprise me in the slightest. Every time that I've sought her for a work, she has surpassed my expectations. The latest was a piece for the Marquessa of House Mazetti - I can say with certainty that Guildmaster Joscelin is not only a skilled jeweler, but also surprisingly discreet. The surprise gift went off without a hitch.

I presented her with the concept following the completion of our last contract for the torcs of House Mazetti. Within the day I had wrote a letter to her and praised her many fine professional qualities, while following that with a question: Would you like an even greater challenge?

That challenge was accepted and I am thankful for it. The end result of her fine work has resulted in a piece that I foresee being part of our House for many generations to come. A piece of finery that will become nothing short of an heirloom to the Hydra that, one can hope, will someday become synonymous with the torcs worn by them. Or us, as it were.

She has my deepest gratitude for her hard work and what I can imagine is the long-term patronage of not only myself but the urging of House Mazetti to look to her talents for their finery.

Relationship Note on Joscelin

I can't adequately express in words my joy for you and Oliver. I remember a time when you doubted that you'd have this kind of life, marriage and children, but look at you now. I'm so happy for you, and I can't wait to meet the little one, they're going to be -so- spoiled.





I'm going to be an Auntie!

Relationship Note on Joscelin

It's funny how a single announcement can turn one worry into several thousand, yet bring with it so much joy and happiness, too. We've been waiting so long for this, you and I, but it looks like we've turned wishes into reality. And while nine months seems like a very short amount of time to wait, it honestly feels as though it will take forever ... but only because I'm just so damned anxious to meet the little one that we've created.

I love you, Joscelin Arterius. You made me whole when you came into my life. And now, somehow, you've made my life all the richer, and completed me all over again.

Today I am the happiest man in all of Arvum! And I think I may be that way for a long time to come.

Word has reached the Palace Courts of the enjoyment and enchantment of a successful masquerade. However, there is one bit of news, which I must amend as there was a misunderstanding with the delivery of the donated prize ring.

I wish to thank and express my gratitude to Grandmaster Joscelin and her team at the Crafter's Gallery for work with me on the design of the ring. When I arrived with ideas for this donation, I knew I could count on her and her team to take such a seed of a dream to nurture and blossom the dream to one of inspiration and beauty.

Thank you for your extraordinary talent in not only spinning and deftly twisting metal and stone, but acutely able to manage a customer and harvest her dream. You are quite blessed by Jayus.

I don't know about this Saedrus fellow, but you've got the prettiest glow about you that I've ever seen. Especially when you're mad and you get all red and splotchy in places? That's my second favorite glow of yours.

Honestly, my favorite moments are when he's got creases on his cheek from the pillowcase and his hair is a wavy mess, because I'm the only person in the world who gets to see that.

You'd be surprised how much time he spends in front of the vanity.

Or maybe you wouldn't!
