Sister! I have returned home. I cannot say for how long as the sea, it calls to me. But for now, rejoice and celebrate. I know you've missed me!

Relationship Note on Mirari

Though the sea has its own call, drawing one out like the tide, so too does Arx seem to extend greedy tendrils, calling her own back to these shores. I'm back, Mirari is as well, and no doubt more of the Corsetinas will show their face in due course as this winter brings us all together once more. Best friend, employer, favorite drinking partner - there are so many titles Mirari holds in my eyes, it's great to see her again.

The Dockyard serves Vile Sausage

Too early, too late.
Too eager, too bored.
Entrails on a plate.
Double for his lord.

Relationship Note on Mirari

I would rather risk my heart than fear to write its words in one of the very few places allowed for me to speak my piece, or to put it in a cage, locked tight under key.

Those who run and crawl should indeed fear falcons.

They need not fear those who have wings, talonless grips, empty mouths, and empty minds.

Miss Mirari Corsetina gave some clothing away today. Her amethyst outfit caught my eye. Should I need to dress to fit in with the southerners, it will suit me well. It was generous of Miss Mirari to give these lovely things away.

As much as it hurts my heart to read these accounts, I think it's a wonderful thing that you were able to love so fervently and so deeply - and that's a truly wonderful thing.

Hold on to it.

Relationship Note on Mirari

Passion is when you are willing to die for someone or something.

Love is when you are willing to /live/ for it/them.

And by live, I mean put in the hard work of keeping your days by the precepts of the person/thing, to act sometimes against your own interests, wants, desire, instead putting it or them ahead of yourself, sometimes at great cost.

Relationship Note on Mirari

You ask something that is so very hard to answer and yet the pivotal foundation of that which I aspire to find. Love is so many different things to so many different people. We are bound to all explain it differently. There are different forms of love. I will touch base on three of them for you.

There is Eros love or that of affection between two people. It is an intimate form of love. It is that which we give to those we having longing for. It is the love between lovers when one longs and feels the burn of that desire. It is also, most times, without control. This can be a majestic chaos to be wrapped in, or it can be a vicious inferno to be burned alive. It also gives birth sometimes to control and jealousy, not that those are bad things in their forms either.

There is then philia love which is that we hold for our common man around us. It is composed of loyalty, compassion, sacrifice, appreciation, and it is the noble of courtly love. It is the acts that we hold and help also define our integrity. This that we feel for our friends. Those that we choose to surround ourselves with. There is a derivative of it that is an inherent love. One that just is and manifests, it falls under this as well. However, it is normally found in a parent for a child. Something that comes from the very soul of the person.

The third one I will touch on is agape. It is a universal love that is not specific. It is found in charity. It is in helping people that you don't know just because it is right. Because you love the humanity around you. I also subscribe this a Godly love. For the Gods have loved us before they knew us. They care for us and they lead us to redemption and forgive us. They direct out paths. They love us no matter what and without the knowledge on if we love them back. It is the kindest of loves and I believe the one that changes the fate of our lives.

This said, I find that love is defined by the person feeling it. If you feel you love a person, then you do. You are the only one that knows your heart and how to define it. Most of the time, I find it all consuming and without true lines and definition when I personally feel it. I have been burned by it, but still I seek the flames of it. I have longed for it. I have forsaken it. We all have this glorious path in life to walk and you, my dearest, are walking yours. I am so honored that you would have us define our definitions for you. I do hope that you find your own. I shall pray that Limerance gives you the information you seek. That your heart becomes full and you become full with the knowledge of your own definition.

Relationship Note on Mirari

Love is nonsensical.

It is transient and selfish, all-consuming in its hunger to remove our freedoms slowly and systematically until we are nothing but starry eyed prisoners to it.

None deserve unconditional love, and yet it's so frequently hammered into us that we must put family over self, loved ones over self.

Abandon your birth family? Dishonor.
Preserve oneself over another? Cowardice.

Love has conditions, always, and the greatest hypocrisies lie in pretending it isn't so. I suppose the flowery poetry don't have provisions for if you discover your parents or children are monstrous in nature, and no longer deserving of even the most basic forms of your affection, to say naught of love.

Affection is a wonderful thing. Intimacy. Friendship. Even simple dalliances have their place.

Love is a gaoler, and I have no interest.

Relationship Note on Mirari

People are silly. Auctioning off a limited time with willing people to other people to perform an activity they both agree too is not selling humans. And what's with "buying thrall debt". Do you expect me to embezzle the money or something? Luckily for every hack with an opinion there are a dozen of people who are willing to give up an evening of their time for a good cause.

To everyone who volunteered, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Now a more interesting criticism is I am rewarding those who have enslaved others with money. And know what? That might be a fair criticism. But I am a bit of a pragmatist at times. I am willing to give the houses money to free people now so that they enjoy their freedom rather them having to wait for the houses to give up their thralls, which may not happen if there is no incentive. I willing to try many different things to give Thralls their well deserved freedom.
