Relationship Note on Ida

Oh Ida, you make me smile! No discouragement necessary. The kindness of strangers and new friends is all it was, over drinks in a playful atmosphere. That people care so much to repel loneliness from the lives of them they've just met says much about them.

You and I, by the way, need to have dinner soon.

I become adamant about my lack of interest in marriage, and the offers to 'help find a suitable mate' start to pick up.

I have an entire Guild to take care of, and who take are of me. I'm perfectly fine, I promise.

....no, scholar, I didn't mean like -that-...!

Stop laughing!

I've put several earrings up in my shop, bronze, instead of the silver and gold I normally work with. It lends a quality to the pieces that's warm, the patina of the metal changing with time, effected by the air as much as copper, or even human skin. Amethysts, aquamarines, topazes ... Set in these Prodigal-inspired designs, from a tribe to the East, it's definitely very different, but still quite beautiful.

I write about them here rather than in the boards. I don't know why.

I met a man today who sold me the jewelry of his beloved wife, a woman deceased, a Prodigal like he. The designs are beautiful, inspiring, and though it wrenched my heart a little to take them, I daresay I gave him a good price for the pieces. He made a good point, insisting that she would approve of his reasons to sell them.

I hope I honor her with the pieces I make in the days to come, Prodigal-inspired designs in gold and silver, with blue and green cabochons, as bracelets, pendants, rings, earrings...

When you realize you always have a choice and you stop fighting who you are, the waters of your soul run calm and clear. Even the occassional ripple doesn't phase you much. The storm passes, the sky clears eventually.

I feel clean.

When you wake up the next day smiling, understanding the truth of yourself and how it -only- matters to you, it's hard not to feel more settled in the world and your place in it, what's expected of you. You can't control others, only yourself, and understanding yourself better only empowers you more. I know what I am, who I am, and I know what I am capable of. I am also understanding the boundaries as well, and what I can accept without changing.

It's a road to walk and it is mine, it's a language I am reading and only I can write it. I know what I am, I know who I am. I make no apology, I can be no less.






That being said, I have blueberry pie stains on my work tunic. I may need to get another.

Relationship Note on Thorley

I think it's safe to say that less distraction and more focus in the days ahead, at least with what's important, is probably the wiser course of action.

That being said, I don't think focus will come easily.

Relationship Note on Aureth

Watching a crow drag pants through the window and drop them on my lap with all the fuss and irritation a bird can display has probably been the highlight of my week.

That they are seasilk edged in aeterna and still warm from the body that gave them up... Well. I haven't laughed out loud like that in days.

They'll make a fine hostage.

Relationship Note on Wylla

You keep suggesting you don't write well. Your Whites suggest the opposite, Archlector. You should have more faith in yourself.

Relationship Note on Thorley

I'd never stand in the way of someone who admires metalwork, especially a blade like yours. As long as he appreciates it, I daresay you should share it.

Relationship Note on Eleyna

I have long suspected that you sent your monthly bribe to me via Jiacomo knowing I find him to be a dashing, handsome example of male dignity. Now that he is no longer in your employ, I feel a smallsense of relieve that you can no longer use my devastating crush against me.

You can do everything right along the way and still lose. That is not a failure. That is life.
