Every time I go get some much needed, extended sleep....

Every time. Without fail.

What a time to be sober. Anyone have some coffee for a Princess that needs no sleep?

Alas! My prospective date for this evening's masquerade has had something come up and has informed me they won't be able to make it.

I think I will catch up on my projects and take a nice long sleep.

Relationship Note on Percephon

I said I wasn't good at riddles... Turns out I was quite right it seems.

A shadow could very well be it. That is a good guess but I don't think I have seen a shadow freeze. My own tends to follow me wherever I go.

Maybe it is a more obscure thing... Like an emotion... Or something within... Hmm...

Relationship Note on Sameera

1. I saw your classified ad and now I'm intrigued. A bit afraid, but intrigued.

2. Not to worry. I /am/ an adept healer, and if something should go wrong I will certainly help you to recover.

Relationship Note on Duarte

Alright, fair enough.

I'm terrible at riddles -- so let me pose one to you as I think about yours.

What can be seen in the water, but never gets wet?

Which is what I suspect you are being right now, Count?

Relationship Note on Sameera

1. I'm so tolerable you might even like me one day.

2. Watch out, he almost sat on me. Almost squashed me flat as a pancake.

Relationship Note on Roran

We must embrace it, of course - those who are unable to trust change have no hope of ever transcending. Stasis is not the nature of the world we embrace.

Don't worry Luca, if you need to keep up with the puns I have the best source:

I do enjoy an eggsquisite pun or two. It leaves me in eggstacy.

Relationship Note on Sameera

Let it be known from henceforth that Sameera Coldrain is my protege, I her patron.

And everyone should go drop my her store because she just /adores/ company. And creates really, truly beautiful and unique pieces.

Also, as her patron we have agreed that she'll be going to the occasional social function with me - look out Arx, Ann Redrain has a "date". I might actually show up to something social for once.

Relationship Note on Khanne

We got to talking tonight about happy memories, and since I support your initiative with all of my heart - I will go ahead and add mine to your collection. It's not much, but here it is.

I spent my entire life with my nose in a book - men, women, people in general never interested me. I've always shared my bed with books, rather than people. It was always history and numbers and stories and knowledge that fascinated me. Not that I looked down on people, but it's harder for me to read people than a book. I mean, I tried once. I really did - and it ended terribly. But it was easy for me to close myself up again and delve into the comforts of whiskey and dry toast and parchment and ink.

But by and by I met someone that was my intellectual peer. Entirely not my type. Stupid little hat, you see. Entirely off-putting. But there was a connection. I kept coming back for more, wanting to unravel him like a cheap sweater.

One day I asked to do something stupid - doesn't matter what it was. I jumped in over my head, but he was there. To protect me from myself (my own worst enemy). He could see I was drowning and saved me by giving me a firm right hook.

Once I was back to my senses, I realized the true depths of my ignorance, and I could think clearly and the path I had been searching for was clear to me even if he (or anyone else) never 'got it'. It was he that was my illumination, my light in the dark. I only have him to thank - and the right hook might have stolen my heart. At least a piece of it - I mean after all who has the balls to set a person straight like that? His brutal honesty is always scathing, but he's never steered me wrong.

Unfortunately, it wasn't meant to be. I never got to unravel him but he still remains a light in the dark and one day, I want to be his. When he needs me, I will be there as he was for me. My best friend.

Relationship Note on Aleksei

Hey, I do what I want.

No, but really - it would look lovely on the book I'm writing. And did you know human hair stands the test of time? It's strange, isn't it. Also a personal touch.

But really I was thinking of going blond. That's what that was about. I've decided against it.

Speaking of reaching out to those that want to know - I have been tasked to research something on behalf of the Archscholar.

If you would like to donate some precious time to help me pour over some notes and books, I would be most grateful.

The clock tower is not only a marvel and a splendor to behold but I feel it represents something more. I wonder if we are to be reminded of our own mortality by it, to be reminded that our time is running out or perhaps the spirits or gods felt it necessary - but to what end?

Who knows anything about clocks? The History of Time? Send me a note should you have any information, I'd love to chat about the philosophical implications and perhaps learn a little bit more myself.

Relationship Note on Audric

Have no fear good people of Arx, the Baron's wounds kept him in one place long enough for me to teach him how to count to at least twenty so we may hear more of his rules past one or ten.

I dont know about the rest of you but I am all ears.
