Relationship Note on Mabelle

I noticed my cousin and I had similar reactions to a situation at the Assembly of Peers. Perhaps we are cut from the same (velvet) cloth.

Time spent together recently truly allowed me to see what a brilliant woman she is. She brings out a side of me which has been buried under layers of responsibility. Like with anything that allows my more mischievous nature to present itself, I will have to Mabelle in moderation.

You could borrow Kedehern. He's very avuncular.

Now that I have had a chance to examine the material, I must say that this new material velvet is quite the innovation. I can imagine how fashion will be altered with its introduction. Congratulations to Mabelle, House Laurent, and the others who brought this innovation to life.

What do you mean 'not a scholarly duty'? How can delivering my RSVP to Mabelle not be 'scholarly'? You have quill, you have parchment, you are a scholar writing down everything I say and I need her to know I cannot attend her- what?

Well, yes. Fionnuala is out there... somewhere. Perhaps at a tavern, perhaps with a friend, I hardly keep tabs on her the few times she fails to be underfo- what?

Oh, FINE. You hardly had anything to do anyway, a visit to Mabelle might have been the high point of your day but FINE.

A girl or a bird to send it.

Not a scholar.

Yes, yes, I get it now stop using that tone before I decide you need to learn how better to use a sword and that I am just the woman to teach you.

Relationship Note on Mabelle

Though I’m certain you meant black or white (not ‘and’ which is the very definition of gray), i agree, yes, a single dichotomy is insufficient to describe our reality.

Enough dichotomies, however, and you have painter’s palette.

We get closer.

On that palette colors, with contrast there is clarity, purity, but that purity is as insufficient to describe reality as any of its lone compatriots, and still muddy at the heart where all things mix, which feels true but is likewise indistinct and insufficient.

I will not make foray into the act of Will in how an Artist chooses a color or colors, suffice to say to say that they do and very, very close to a painting, the whole of the world is yellow or orange or blue. Further away that mote is a single flower in a meadow or the glint of sun on the water.

To me the notion isn’t ‘is it this color or that color or some mix of the two,’ so much as: how close am I to what I’m observing?

I’ve been to the Painted Muse quite a bit recently. Recommended.

Relationship Note on Mabelle

She's steel under silk. I respect that. Even if she dresses too fancy and has an entourage of 'cute pets.' We always need those who can cure the shit I can't patch and sew up. And I promised to screw up that which took her husband. We got that in common..

Sweet Lady Belle...

What is it with our timing??

I am truly sorry to have missed your birthday.

Next year, send me a warning well in advance - a year perhaps - and I will try to be there. I swear!!

You are most welcome, Lady Mabelle.

Next trip won't be so flat. Or maybe hawking? You do have a way with animals.

May I posit puppy litters as liquids? Drowning in dog seems perfectly plausible given the amount of fluff in some of your companion's coats.

And while you might let me watch all of them, I cannot in good conscious guarantee you would get them all back. For reasons.

Relationship Note on Mabelle

Lady Mabelle possesses a singular spirit that, even on a dark and cold day, managed to make me feel the warmth of the kindness she radiates like a sun.

I feel refreshed, and I'm sure that wasn't even her intention. I didn't even have one of her famous cookies (yet). I look forward to working with her.

What a lovely lady.

Hey, we haven't met
And this might be crazy
But I hear your cookies
Are mighty tasty

(Please send cookies)

Relationship Note on Mabelle

I think Lady Mabelle and I share a common bond in how we wish to learn more of ourselves, in the sense that we question the past and are /quite/ frustrated to find interesting works and other writings that have absolutely nothing to do with the target of our curiosity. It's enough to make one think it a punishment for vanity, which is absurd in this situation.

I did enjoy our talk over tea, though. I'm not one to indulge much in cookies, but since freshly made biscuits were not present at the table I made do with those. A fine way to start the morning, at least.

Relationship Note on Mabelle

Your endless creativity is a source of wonder and delight for me. I adore working with numbers and that is where my talents lie, but alas, they do not create anything as pleasing to the senses as your work. Thank you for joining me for dinner. I hope I can view more of your exquisite jewellery and gowns next time we meet. And of course, exchange many more words! It is always a pleasure.

Dearest,

Not yet. I am somewhere south of it and somewhat north of Granato. My aide decided to advise me on a true holiday of doing nothing. So we are enjoying the vast views of the Lyceum without the trouble of going into the cities...

On the plus side, we were accosted by brigands and it was a delight to put them down!

Soon. Week - maybe two.

I am somewhere between Granato and Lenosia in the Lyceum.

... The landscape is lovely but the company is getting on my nerves.

... I'm plotting, though.

Wait for me!

My fault entirely my lady. I am sorry for that. But it is a proof of your talents that you have crafted something so beautiful from the sea and its...varying smells.

I am so drawn to it and I do not usually indulge in perfumes. Thank you again.

Also no fish at dinner then. It is decided.
