Relationship Note on Ida

Sometimes the need to indulge is undeniable. If we were not in the Thirteen Days, I might allow myself a feeling of regret. It is not the season, and it is not a necessity. Yet, I marvel and celebrate.

Relationship Note on Ida

Oh! I wished to also record that one of the items from this month's box was created my Ida's assistants. They followed my design perfectly! I can not thank Ida enough for allowing me to include something in the box from her shop.

Relationship Note on Ida

I don't know why we play these games with each other. I have forgiven you for not having me as a patron. I am still thinking if I forgive Tikva about it. However, you should really just send me a price and your daggers. Why must you make me walk all the way to your shop?

Relationship Note on Ida

I had a steel long blade that Dame Ida crafted many years ago. It was named Wings of Twilight and it was my most cherished sword. Count Blanchard used it in a battle and a few others had borrowed the sword. Then it served me in my own battles. It was broken on the mercy ship when it was boarded. I managed to recover its two halves, but it will be retired. Dame Ida has out done herself with the blade that she has forged for me in its place. I will have Wings From the Ashes to serve me well going forward.

Relationship Note on Ida

Too late. I already bought the daggers.

And the two backpacks of accidental armor.

And the hairpins.

Sidenote: If anyone needs steel armor or hairpins, please send word with an adventure exchange.

Sidenote to the sidenote: I support you (Ida) crafting some dagger to mystify me.

Two things -

Next time, I should probably use another shop when making Theresa (Thea) a present when she whines.

Also, Jaenelle says just because I hang out in your shop; it won't make daggers appear. I'm still trying out this theory.

I'm not much of a weapons person, but black daggers do sound appealing.

Relationship Note on Ida

Yes, yes. All of these. I do need armor at some point. I do like black. It's sort of a signature color. Really, it's I don't care about fashion (please don't tell Keely) and black just goes with everything.

Also, look! I'm someone's muse!

Please excuse my wife. She doesn't mean that. You should make all the daggers you want.
She's just getting testy. It happens around her birthday every year.

Daggers are always good to have. Might I suggest black ones?

What if I pay you not to make anymore daggers instead?

Relationship Note on Ida

Five new daggers, each more exquisite than the last. I'm sure there are no few people in Arvum who would shake their heads and say "Why do you keep arming her, Dame Ida? Don't you realize she throws them AT US!" And yet, you keep arming me but I think you've found the loophole. You've made such exquisite works that I cannot even fathom using them to throw at people that I don't mean to kill for fear that I might not get them back! Clever woman. Your star shines brighter than ever.

I, too, see little merit in it.

A life of self-and-societal-imposed shackles would hardly be a benefit just for the cheaply won benefit of having people cease to stare down their nose at Sydney the Commoner, and instead stare down their nose at Sydney the Neonoble.

I wonder if the walls of the birdcages are as smothering from inside of them as it looks from outside of them.

I'd say it fills me with pity, but for the fact that a birdcage is still placed above us, and there is only one direction that leavings fall.

More daggers needed.

Griffins are good.
Black are good.
Pointy are good.
I suppose something Velenosa is tolerable.

Still more daggers. I went to your shop. I looked at your things.

Did I mention more daggers?

Relationship Note on Ida

I was feeling well enough today to escape the Damsel after Bree left for other duties. I hauled myself across the city and spent a good chunk of my evening with Dame Ida, who showed me how to load and shoot a trebuchet. We shot straw all over the Templar Siege Yard. And in the summer, we're going to fling watermelons. I'm very excited.

I can also make an *exceptional* nail now. I'm certain that anyone reading this is truly blown away with how exciting that is.

Relationship Note on Ida

I do not often have the time to write in these journals of late; a failure of my duty to Vellichor for which I must make amends prior to my next trip to Sanctum. So I have more than one thing to thank Dame Ida for; prompting my desire to take to the whites.

I have had every weapon commissioned since being knighted made by Dame Ida's hand. Before she was Dame Ida, even! From the simple steel blade, to the redsteel and whitesteel flails that I favor in the midst of battle. She has never once disappointed me. Every weapon made has been an extension of both my heart and my hand. My latest commission is no exception, and she has crafted yet another truly exceptional weapon that I am proud to own and even more proud to show off as one of her works.

You are an artist that legends are made of, Dame Ida. The Oathlands, and House Valardin in particular, are so very lucky to have you.

I'm going to be spending more time with Dame Ida Ferron soon. I mean, she said she was going to let me know when Sir Preston contacted her again. But I'll probably see her before then! I need to know how to make the best nails in the entire Compact. And possibly some other things.

Dame Ida. She is a wonder. And a bit of a sadist, I think. How will I ever bear to part with these glorious blades and hairpins? I would accuse her of making them incredible just to torment me, but I know from experience that everything she makes is spectacular so I cannot. Still, they will make an exciting addition to the event. If I don't cancel it so I can keep them...

If one is going to ask for a sword design (and then a sword creation, though that part isn't quite finished yet), then Dame Ida Ferron is the person to speak to. Her work is unparalleled and I am looking forward to seeing the masterpiece that she creates from the drawing that she has offered to me. It's quite exciting.

Will you make armor with pockets for me? I have the materials and I want pockets for my pants.
