Relationship Note on Sylvie

The Duchess of Zaffria put on as elegant a show as I've ever seen, and was extremely gracious as she dealt with Maximilian. I was grateful to have the chance to stand for her as a Champion ... and honestly I'm a little embarrassed to be so delighted by the gown she provided for my fee.

Relationship Note on Sylvie

Lady Sylvie is an interesting Southern woman who frequents bars. She may or may not be stalking me, I think the verdict is still out on that. But she is a beautiful storyteller and someone I'd like to learn more about eventually.

Relationship Note on Sylvie

Lady Sylvie and I were not especially close when I lived in Gemecitta after my last marriage. Ludovico and I spent most of our time at his manor house away from the court and so our exchanges were always brief, murmured niceties in passing.

Since coming to the city, Lady Zaffria has proven a graceful and intelligent influence. Unflappable, beautiful, and elegant. I would dare to call her a friend.

Relationship Note on Sylvie

The first time that I met Lady Sylvie Zaffria, at least to my recollection, she accidentally forgot to return my cloak. An unfortunate event, of course. Much to my surprise Lady Sylvie went out of her way to commission a new cloak, lined with fur and made of fine silk. Receiving a gift from her in the form of a new cloak, far nicer than the simple wool thing that had been misplaced? That was quite an astonishing gift to receive. Apparently, from the corner of the eye and across a room, I remind her vaguely of her husband.

Relationship Note on Sylvie

Lady Sylvie Zaffria seems to be a friendly and charming woman. I met her when she was new to the city and her family's home needed restoration and then again after my return from meeting the elves. Embarrassingly enough I completely forgot her name. I felt terrible. It was a pleasant time spent chatting and perhaps I will see her again some time.

Relationship Note on Sylvie

Lady Sylvie Zaffira, if the name that Princess Sophie provided was accurate. She came into the Traders Tavern one night to, presumably, avoid the rain. She was soaked, much like a rat fleeing a sinking ship. As a result my cloak was offered to dry herself with. I never got my cloak back.

That was my second favorite cloak.

Which is important, since I only have the two.

Woe be unto the Lyonesse.

Relationship Note on Sylvie

Such a different person from her sister-in-law, it seems. I cannot deny that there is something compelling about her, but perhaps it is only that we are so different as well.

Relationship Note on Sylvie

There is so much to consider with her. She intoxicates me when we're in bed together -- or on her desk, against the wall, on the floor -- but it is a dangerous intoxication. It's a drug, this anger and hatred and passion that mixes between us. I would rather marry almost anyone but her.

But it may become necessary. If Zaccheri truly died to keep Gemecitta fractured, it may be our only option to make it whole. If we are to see Velenosa burn, it may be the sacrifice I have to make.

Relationship Note on Sylvie

The cooler head of the Zaffria-Rubino pair. Charming, dangerously so. The kind of person you want to have on your side. Part of the family of vassal Lyceum provinces.

Relationship Note on Sylvie

From what I have seen of Lady Sylphie, she is a pragmatic woman with both refinement and grace to her credit. I look forward to future gown shopping and more evenings with fine wine, conversation, and sweet desserts.

Relationship Note on Sylvie

Voice of the Zaffria family, Lady Sylphie is one half of our hosting duo in Arx. She remains troubled by the death of her husband, Zaccheri, though you could scarcely guess. She is a good and gracious woman.

Relationship Note on Sylvie

Sylphie and I continue to be positively impossible to each other. It is distinctly rare that we manage to find some overlapping understanding between the two of us, some moment that we are not at each other's throats. I find myself continually offended when I feel that I am putting forth a /real effort/ to be civil, only to have /her/ become the temperamental one.

The lingering desire to shove her against a wall or bend her over a desk while we're fighting is certainly not helping matters.

Relationship Note on Sylvie

I have had the pleasure of meeting with Lady Sylphie Zaffria a couple of times now and each time we meet I find myself enjoying her company more and more. Appearances are often deceptive; She seems delicate and reserved but knowing of her recent loss I can only imagine she is focusing on family and business.

So young and so beautiful to be a widower. The same misfortune fell upon my beloved brother Leo. Oh, is that a potential match I smell?

All kidding aside, I do believe Lady Sylphie and I have much in common. I look forward to getting to know her better.

Relationship Note on Sylvie

I met this Lady while i was in the bank depositing my winnings from the fencing competition. We proceeded to discuss how the remainder of the competition went as she had, for some reason, left before the end. It was an enjoyable meeting, and I ended up buying her a gift of hairpins. We met days after I gifted her with the hairpins so she could show me how she had had a gown made to match the hairpins I had gifted her with. She's a widower and I think looking for friends in the city who se likely wouldn't meet elsewhere.

Relationship Note on Sylvie

Lady Sylphie is Lady Cara's sister-in-law, another of that entwined pair of Lycene families from Gemecitta. I've only really met her in passing thus far, but she seems a pleasant enough conversationalist.

I'm also fairly certain she's unlikely to either poison my drink or stab me in the back! At least, for the moment. And I have friends in the Lyceum that I'm not entirely certain I can say that of.

Relationship Note on Sylvie

Lady Sylphie has an interesting sense of humor. Like me, she recently lost her spouse. Unlike me, it seems she's looking to get married sooner rather than later. I don't judge her for this, of course, we all have our needs and what we want out of life. She thought she had offended me, but truly, I took no offense from her jest. I don't think Her Grace did either.

Relationship Note on Sylvie

Lady Sylphie Zaffria is our hostess, a vision of taste and aesthetics. She was married to Zacheri. I can't believe he died so young, and not even in glorious combat against a known foe.

She has our full support!

Relationship Note on Sylvie

Lady Sylphie struck me as being good with people the minute I originally overheard her conversation at the beach. Even distracted as I was with the game, it was hard not to catch notice of her. She's sharp in the way that lends itself to effortless conversation and I was a bit beyond pleased when my audience with Duke Niccolo in the Salon was happened upon by her. Gemecitta is one of the few city-states in the Lyceum that I haven't traveled to yet, but her descriptions leave me ever curious. I rather earnestly look forward to further engagements with her.
