Relationship Note on Cassima

Wolves? You must mean hornets.
Besides, I do not throw. People slip.

Pieces of art has begun arriving to the new gallery for safekeeping before being transfered to the Art District of Artshall once it is rebuilt:
A lovely piece by Duchess Farshaw and the most impressive tapestry by Lord Eswynd.

Curating again, I think, is a healing process for me. I'm not quite for an artist myself but seeing the art district burned before my eyes and speaking to artists later who have lost some of their life's work entrusting it there has been quite traumatic for me. Guilt is an awful thing. Guilt is something I carry everywhere nowadays.

This note was supposed to be inspiring.
The Gallery is supposed to be inspiring.
I hope that by collecting new pieces I will be able to inspire Artshall's artist to create again and hopefully once rebuilt, they will still choose Artshall to be their home. House Laurent offers commissions to artists who lost their work in the fire and struggle for livelyhood, ten folds their normal fee and gifts a honeystone to nobles who choose to make a new donation.

I look forward to seeing what more will come my way, what the last events will inspire people to create.

Relationship Note on Titus

There is not a single encounter with Lord Titus that is not eye opening, even when you've only arrived to tend to his wounds.
The man is a fountain of knowledge and his ability to spin a tale is a blessing from Jayus.

Relationship Note on Kastelon

Sometimes the insights of a "plain hunter" surpasses those who try to understand the situation the most and fail.
Color me impressed.

At some point you realize you're not the only one. But then another realization dawns. The sheer numbers.

Ash.
It's all ash.
Our people, their home, their livelihood. Ash.
Years of hard work. Ash.
How do you even start again?
Where do you even start?
I personally promised people safety and they were delivered death.
This is too much to bear.
But we will grieve and then we will rise and the only ashes remaining will be those of our enemies.

Relationship Note on Lucie

My cousin Lucie has arrived to the city. It finally feels like the mansion is returning to life bit by bit.
Now if I put a bear in front of Eiran's room, I should place a tiger in front of hers.

I'm not surprised she passed onto the wheel a hero. No one should be.

Relationship Note on Liara

Some friendships are brave and long lasting. Some I am honored to call friend. Some are both.

Take the time to mourn the loss of your loved ones or you will find you will need to mourn your mirth as well.

If your guests would like to thank you for hosting an enjoyable event, perhaps instead of a hug, suggest they write a thank you note.

On another topic, honeysilk is not immune to honey. Interesting.

I've a new project.

Fashion has always been my passion. Not because it rhymes, but it has given me an opportunity to leave an imprint of my choosing or so at least I'd like to believe.

We each deal with loss differently and I have been dealing with loss since I came to the city. Friends, family, and recently, loved ones.

House Laurent has collected some Heirloom items but they are not, I think, a testament to what it is today. I have decided I will design and have various crafters create heirloom items for House Laurent.

The first was presented at the Honey Festival this year and will move to our vaults, with a replica exhibited at the Dire Bee Lounge Gallery. It is a tiara, lavished with honey diamonds which will serve a future duchess, perhaps.

I thought my wandering days of finding interesting shops are over, but today, just south of the center, I came across a jewelry shop called "Heart of stone" that has a lot of beautiful items offered.

I even left some for others.

Just when you think you are experienced enough, old enough and wise enough not to misplace your trust, someone proves you wrong.

The HONEY FESTIVAL is tonight.
I am excited.
I wonder what people will wear.
Hopefully not the finest or favorite outfit.
You know why scholar.

Relationship Note on Nicos

Sometimes chance needs bring the opportunities to meet people we would not otherwise and then learn we have more in common with them than we think.
