Relationship Note on Fortescue
Some five years ago, while visiting Southport to do some work with Lord Martino Malvici on behalf of House Saik, I had the wonderful fortune of meeting Fortescue Antoni. I couldn't tell you now what it was we initially bonded over - wine snobbery? our fabulous outfits? some joke at Martino's expense? - but it was enough to span the distance when I returned to Saikland. Over the years, we remained close through correspondence and my occasional visits to Southport. When I came to Arx, it quickly became apparent that I would need a personal assistant to help me manage all of my various duties, and, one day while trying to decide who to hire for the task, Martino had the brilliant idea to call Fortescue to the city, too.
And I can say: It has been wonderful. We've accomplished a lot together. Having him at my side has made existing in the city so much easier. Which is why I can also say: The last week has been hard. Scholar, the opportunity arose for him to be promoted into House Saik proper as steward. How could I have said no? He deserves the chance to have some authority. Gods know, stewarding the whole house will likely be a reprieve from being my assistant.
