Relationship Note on Berenice
I have been fortunate in my patronage by the Princess Berenice. I came to Arx with the foundation of my House and family rocked by my mother's death, our name still tarnished. I knew her first as a young girl, driven, energetic, claws sharp but still endearingly clumsy. I was her senior in so many ways-- age, beauty, suitors and eventually, in rule. Naturally, I inspired her in her own climb, from girl to glorious, and I am grateful for the support she has given me in turn, from Countess to Marquessa.
It took a challenge of honour to secure her patronage-- she does know how I enjoy a good challenge, so invested in the delights of others is our sweet Berenice-- but what began with spectacle ends now with the deepest of respect and bonds of eternal friendship forged.

Relationship Note on Berenice
If I misunderstood the reports, that they had already bent the knee and were now asking for these considerations after, then I am very glad to be corrected and apologise most humbly if any felt slighted. Though I think placing the conditional ‘if’ and moving my words to the future tense does not alter their point. Thraldom cannot be the price paid for peace, and it would be useful still if that were made clear rather than the silence after the reports.
As it must then still be under negotiation, I am certain the famed skills of the Lyceum with their words will be able to help these clans find another way to bend the knee and remain relatively happy.

Hindsight is many things. Clarity. Retrospect. Reflection.
Hindsight does not banish crippling embarrassment, merely replays it again and again and again and again...

I am happy to say that I have accepted the patronage of the Oleander of Lenosia. I can think no one more suited to me, than she, at this point in time. I look forward to setting the social world on fire with her.

I had the singular pleasure of sharing some wine with the newest Voice of Velenosa and, I hope, of being some use to the Great House as they form their decision.

Princess Berenice is so charming that even if she wasn't impossibly beautiful, she'd be impossibly beautiful, if that makes sense? Anyway, she agreed to model for me and I'm ecstatic about it, you know your dreams are taking off when the most famous model in the Lyceum agrees to support your efforts.

It's my pleasure to have the Princess Berenice co-hosting the First Annual Raconteur Cup Horse Races upon the beaches of Arx come this spring. It should be an exciting time, with a touch of the entertainment the Kismet Carnivals across Arvum will spread in the future. It is also a chance for riders to not only show off their skill and expertise, but to win a hefty purse at that, so thoughtfully sponsored by House Velenosa.
If there are any interested riders out there, or those who wish to demonstrate their social prowess as a promoter of one of the riders? Do send a messenger our way.

Quite honestly, if somebody can’t bring themselves to get along with this woman, it says more about that individual than it does about her.

Relationship Note on Berenice
I remember when she was only a little kitten, all fluff and clumsy claws, endearing in the way of infant predators certain that they are the apex of their kind. Oh, how she hissed. Louder and longer than anyone else. As all kittens do eventually, she's grown up. The adult cat is sleek, tempestuous, fierce, inclined to the forms only so far as they suit her. The very epitome of feline. A delightful cat indeed so long as you have a care with the various pointy sides.
She reminds me of my mother, had my mother been blessed by chance of birth to the luck and luxuries of a princess.

I can only hope to reach such levels of cleverness. She almost made me give her my shirt off my back... with one touch and a few words. (Alright, it was my coat but had she asked for the shirt she could've had that - it's an old shirt. The coat is new and armoured and I need it for those times someone wants to stab me which happens frequently enough I need this coat... but so tempting to give it.)
It's much easier waking up being robbed, than facing such sweet danger as Princess Berenice Velenosa. I am defeated and I like it.

No.
But for some reason I didn't get to my coffee this morning.
It puts a man in a state of disquieted reflection.

Relationship Note on Berenice
The first time I met with her in Arx, she took my breath away. Not just because she is beautiful, though she is. Not just because she's confident, though she -definitely- is. It was that when I looked at her, it was like seeing the ghost of someone I once very much loved.
It's not in the way she looks. It's in the way she carries herself. The way those eyes can shift from sultry to wicked to friendly to bemused in the space of a heartbeat. The way that she can command a room with a smile and a lift of an eyebrow. The way she can wear a dress like it is a second skin without a trace of discomfort or awkwardness.
I wonder if she realizes how much she resembles Esera in those moments. The Esera that I remember when we were girls together. Wicked, funny, charming, but with an edge that made you hold your breath if you happened to upset her in any given moment. The Esera that was before she assumed the mantle of power and had to temper that tempestuous Lycene streak with gravity.
Of course, there are differences. No one could ever be Esera in her entirety and I think Berenice is just as unique in her own ways. But the memory is there. Perhaps it should make me miss Esera more, but, quite to the contrary, it just makes me very glad that Berenice is here.
