Relationship Note on Orelia

There were a great deal of rumors, copious amounts of speculation, and even a little factual information that came out of Bastion following the dastardly attack on it. Among all of those rumors, I had heard about my protege's actions. What I hadn't heard about was news regarding someone who carries the Mazetti name on their shoulders. It was Dame Reese who recounted some of the events that transpired with greater clarity, including that it was Lady Orelia who stood with her in battle and waded into a precarious situation to stand at the templar's back in order to engage the attacker's leadership.

If I consider Dame Reese courageous, then the can surely be said of one of Lady Orelia. This clarification from Dame Reese likewise brought another question to mind, one which was reflected in my initial thoughts regarding the news of my protege's actions. What does one gift a hero, beyond gratitude?

The actions of Lady Orelia reflect well upon her and if her actions reflect well upon her, then in the eyes of the Duchess of House Mazetti we are pleased beyond simple words. Such an act of sheer, selfless bravery brings to mind others throughout the Hydra's history who have given all in pursuit of achieving the safety of others. In more recent history this brings to mind the heroic act of Lord Valerio Mazetti, a loss that we remember well and do not forget. Fortunately Lady Orelia survived her ordeal, fighting in unison with Dame Reese of the Templars. For that House Mazetti is thankful beyond measure and pleased to know that we have another valiant defender counted among those of the Walled City.

It's enough to beg the question once more: what do you gift to someone so gallant?

Relationship Note on Orelia

The moonlight shows you for what is real
Silver lines and motes swirl as smoke
A shawl of gossamer that resolves to dew
It sends mind to tumbling and then to reel
The rising sun's face is shown as you
And requested only is from the dream not be awoke.

You are ever the sun emerging above the eastern horizon, turning the ocean to fire as you grant the radiance of your presence.

I cannot look long, for my heart would burst.

My eternal gratitude, that I should be uplifted so often - with naught else but a moment of consideration and a curve of smile. A gorgeous beam to break through the clouds.

Relationship Note on Orelia

So far, there have been many fascinating and exciting members of this Compact that I have met. Few hold such promise as Lady Orelia Stonewood. She is brash, brave, brazen, and bold. She has the grace of a falcon and the ferocity of a lioness. She has secrets, as we all do and those I can accept. She is, however, in my opinion, one of the people who can most greatly impact this Compact for better or worse and I will accept all of our playful banter if it means she allows me to help strengthen her for what is to come.

I look forward to that song! The one you and Sir Jeffeth sang together was quite lovely, too.

We should have drinks again.

Hah! My mother is a portly woman from the Chains, three inches shorter than me and I favor her greatly.

I can't imagine what it would have been like if my Lycene blood had called as strong. Would I be taller? My mother tells me I favor him in spirit, though. That resemblance I can't tell you too much of, but I'd like to think she's a little right.

Congratulations on becoming Luca's protege! Or I'm terribly sorry you have become Luca's protege. I haven't decided if this is something to celebrate or lament. I'll get back to you on that.

Relationship Note on Orelia

I would just like to state, for the matter of the record, that while I did take on Orelia Stonewood as a protege, I am in no way responsible for this haze and drinking business. She returned to Arx like this.

Still, I am proud of her slowly growing tolerance.

Now, if someone could me the great favor of sending along a missive with some guidance, I confess, I have no idea what to do with a protege. Do you just throw silver at them? Beat on them with a wooden training blade? Do you send them questing? This is the winter of my many questions.
