There was a lot of pondering as they spilled wine into their glass. They wondered if they would have grown to be a better person had they been born into a wealthier family, and had they never been required to do questionable things in order to survive.
Out of courtesy, I didn't ask what those 'things' were, or what 'better' means, but it did remind me to think along the same lines: what manner of person would I be now, had I not been raised in Caina, but instead somewhere less... Caina.
As always, I stopped dwelling on these thoughts quite speedily (and almost certainly more rapidly than a Mirrormask ought to). I wouldn't change anything about my past or where I was born, because they forged me into the person I am. I liked who I was before I civilised myself. I like who I am now.
It occurs to me that I might not always be a good fit as a disciple of the Thirteenth. We're advised to examine ourselves and challenge our beliefs of who we are. But really, I just find that self-doubt and 'what-ifs' can be such a bore sometimes.

As a merchant, I'm often tasked to acquire more luxurious and costly fabric: velvet, brocade and so forth. Of course, I can see the appeal. How can I not? Many wish to garb themselves in only the finest attire. There's something to be said for the less prized materials, however. Add a touch of lace -- your everyday lace, that is to say -- and you can have a lovely outfit at a relatively modest cost.
Naturally, there are fashionistas who will think me quite misguided in my opinions herein, and that is perfectly understandable. I will still gladly continue to work on their behalf to find the cloth they desire.

I must say that I'm surprised to see the names of some of the prospective buyers who are offering these small payments.
Yes, I know there is a whirlpool.

Relationship Note on Josephine
I'm not good with words when it comes to these situations, but I can say that Messere Arcuri lived well and with kindness, and her legacy is a grand one.

One thing I do know, however, is this: anyone who harms my crow will regret it very much.

I'm not the kindest person at the best of times, and I know it's my place to question and consider... but that's a bit too much for me.

Apparently I have too much time on my hands if this is all I have to think about. How self-indulgent.
