Comments and Log


1 Grimhall House Guards arrives, following Melinda.

Aemily - A Black Hound, 1 Saik Guard, 2 Iron Guardsmen, Amethyst - A Clever Raccoon arrive, following Arcelia.

Lady Carita could not come to the party she has helped put together. Lady Melinda stands to greet people into the Darkwater Manor, there is a small 5 year old girl standing near Melinda who is handing out flowers to everyone that enters. "W-w-welcome to the p-p-party" she stutters a little as she smiles. There are stations set up for feet baths and for nails.. there are little snacks for people to eat and of course there is mead
Merida accepts the violet rose with a grin towards her cousin before she makes her way over to the snacks (snacks and drinks first, of course). "Oh, this is wonderful! I haven't had much pampering, so this should be a treat." She looks to all the other ladies present, popping a grape into her mouth before taking a moment to admire the roses being handed out, including her own.
Arcelia makes her way into Darkwater Reach, looking around the all too familiar interior of the building. First she curtsies to Melinda and Merida but then she bends down to the girl's level and takes the offered rose, thanking her and tells her that she looks very pretty today. Once she has said hello to the child she rises again and turns her attention back to Melinda. "Good afternoon Lady Melinda." She considers Merida a second then and offers her a warm smile. "I do not believe we have met M'lady. I am Lady Arcelia Saik, it is a pleasure to meet you."
You say, "Welcome, if you have brought anything for the clothing exchange you can put them in the corner closet we have made available for this event." she says softly "feel free to sit and get your feet done or your nails primed. If you want your hair done I have a small station over there as well, as a Makeup station for those that want to continue the transformation, of a princess for a day." she grins to the small Four year old ... "This is Lady Cera Malvici" she says in a deep accent."
Titania walks into Darkwater reach looking around this being her first time here she smiles looking to Melinda, "Hello Lady Melinda." she looks to the child then takes the rose from her with a soft smile. She seems a bit stiff when she walks in to find a seather limp is all but done. "lady Merida." she nods in her direction, "Ahh Lady Arcelia, it is good to see you again." she smiles.
Sina arrives at the estate as well, accepting the flower with a soft smile and a slight bow of her head, "Thank you very much, My Lady." She says, drawing the fabric rose close before her attention shifts across the gathering at the others arriving, settling on Melinda as she explains what is available to the gathering.
The door to Darkwater Reach opens and another guest appears amid a garden of some of the most lovely ladies of the city. The little vixen smiles playfully as she makes her way inside, dark eyes dancing as she scans the room. A bright and beautiful smile is offered the child's way as she accepts the posy. "How beautiful! Thank you so much. It is one of my most favoured colours, too. You are so sweet to me," she smiles at the child, her large dark eyes soft and sweet, whispering, "Don't forget to put one in your hair as well." she winks as she moves to greet the other ladies with bright and cheerful smiles, little hugs and light kisses.


3 Rough and tumble sailors arrives, following Merida.

Vald arrives, following Sina.

Merida curtsies to Lady Arcelia, offering her a warm grin, "A pleasure to meet you Lady Saik. Lady Merida Grimhall, at your service." She looks to Titania then at her greeting, throwing the warm grin her way, "Lady Titania, good to see you here. And I wanted to thank you again for helping with Gideon, he healed very quickly after you tended to him." She holds up her hands, offering a self depricating chuckle, "I'm better at giving wounds, not healing them."

Arcelia knew the little girl! Serah was part of the Malvici-Saik family and so was a very familiar face to Arcelia. She addressed the girl by her name and title when she had taken the rose from her. But once that is done she turns her attention to Titania, who was addressing her, and offers the woman a smile. "It is nice to see you again as well, Lady Titania." She then returns her attention to Merida. "It is lovely to meet another Grimhall, your House has been nothing short of gracious."

2 House Wyrmguard Guards arrives, following Desiree.

The Small girl dose take a flower to tuck into her hair and she waves an excited hand to Arcelia. Her eyes look to Melinda with wide eyes as the other ladies begin to drift in. Her eyes move over to Merida and she lets her grey eyes linger there before she murmers softly to Serah. "would you like to start with your feet? I will have one of the attendants clean them ... go pick out a color." Melinda encourages

Melinda gets a violet rose with petals and leaves of satin from a willow woven basket lined with blue wool.

Desiree arrives a little late to the party, but she arrives with a smile. She take the time to look around and notice who is here. "Thank you." She says as she accepts the rose. "This should be a fun evening."

The young girls gaze is not lost on Merida, and she wiggles her fingers towards her in a playful wave, the smile she offers her far less shark-like than her usual one. Turning back to Arcelia she offers up a chuckle, "I think that's all my cousins work. But I try!"

Quork the uncommon black raven arrives, delivering a message to Arcelia before departing.

"Beautiful," the little southern princess smiles and offers Srah an approving little wink and nod as the little girl settles the flower in her hair, Turning her dark eyes to the older and equally adorable and enchanting ladies present she smiles again, Lady Melinda, thank you so much to you and the lovey Lady Carita for inviting me. I am so very charmed and honoured to be guest in your home. I has been some time since I have seen the your beautiful halls," Valencia offers with a warm smile and incline of head. Another warm and bright smile is sent Merida, Arcelia and Titania's way, "Ladies, what a delight to see you all again. Oh, and you as well, Lady Desiree. It truly has been too long,' she nods turning to smile at Sina, "How do you do? I do not think we have met yet. I'm the Princess Valencia," she offers the exotic beauty. "May I ask your name?"

Melinda says, "I assure you, I gave Lady Carita a lovely new Dress and cloak, but I am sad to say she could not join us today." she says to Titania, Do enjoy yourself, grab a cup of Grimhall Strongmead if you like. And enjoy the pampering of the services I have hired." she chuckles a little as she keeps a close eye on Serah."

Titania smiles at Merida, "I have not perfect at it, but I am glad I could help a dear friend in need." she smiles looking to Merida, "I can thank him and Prince Victus for being so stiff around now, the two are tuff to train with." she looks to Arcelia, "It is good to see you here." she smiles and sits down with a bit of a wince.

"A pleasure to meet you, Your Highness." Sina says, curtseying before the woman, "I am Sina Izetta, Princess Donella's handmaiden." She says in introduction to the woman. "It is quite a nice gathering our hostesses have put together for us, isn't it?"

A raven drops in to give Arcelia a letter, Prince Calarian's raven, and Arcelia reads over the message. She looks up at the party and then back at the message, a pensive look crosses her face but then she smiles. "I'm very sorry but I need to go take care of this. Though I was only here briefly thank you very much for having me Lady Melinda. I hope you all enjoy the night, it looks like it is going to be a lot of fun. I have some unexpected business that I must attend to." She curtsies again, smiling at Valencia. "Your Highness."

"It is, isn't it," Valencia smiles back at Sina, offering a warm incline of head and sweet smile. "It seems to be a very lovely gathering. And now I get to meet yet another of our city's treasures. I am so very pleased." The little princes picks up a glass of rich red wine and offers one to Sina with another smile, though he news of Gideon's injury is not lost on the little fox. She cants her head and frowns with some concern, "Is the prince quite alright? I did not know he was injured," she asks Merida and Titania with look of kind concern.

Sarah looks concerned as Arcelia leaves, and Melinda assures her, "I am sure everything is fine, dear, just enjoy yourself yes?" she asks as the small child gets her toes cleaned and primed for painting.

Valencia looks a little disappointed that Lady Arcelia must depart but offers her an affectionate smile. "Ah, tis the way. I well understand. I will be seeing you soon, I imagine, my lady. Till then take care, Lady."

"Gideon is a strong man, I think I only bested him in our first fight because of his armor." She smiles fondly at the memory before looking back in the direction of the longhouse, "Oh, he's quite alright your highness, he was injured when fighting my uncle for my hand. He did very well in fact." She gives a chuckle, turning back to the princess, "It's a tradition in our family. To prove yourself worthy." She looks to Arcelia and pouts a tad, "Aw, a pity. Until next time then, my lady!"

Arcelia nods to Valencia. "I just need to go and respond to this letter and handle. I look forward to seeing you again soon" She smiles over to Serah and offers the child a wave. "Everything is fine sweety. You just have fun tonight." She curtsies to everyone and then heads out!

"Oh, I am no treasure, Your Highness, simply a servant." Sina replies to Valencia's praise, eyes dropping slightly as she demures a bit in response to the compliment. "But thank you for the kind words."

Titania listens to Merida speak of Gideon she looks over to Sarah giving her a small finger wave while she sits listening to people talk. She lays her hands in her lap leaning back just kind of relaxing and falling silent.

Valenica winces a little at the news of the prince's inuries. "Ah, I see. Well, I am so very sorry he was injured, but I am happy that he was seen fit to wed. Congratulations to you both. You must be so very pleased and excited. He is a very remarkable man," she offers with a gently smile. "I hope you with both be very happy together." Taking a sip of her tea and setting aside the cup, the little raven-haired princess smiles again to Sina, dark eyes glimmering like gemstones. "All women are treasures," she affirms sincerely. "And this city is filled with some of the finest in Avrum," she nods with an impish flash of a finely arched brow.

Desiree nods to Valencia. "It has been a while, but it's good to see you here now!" She grows quiet and takes a cup of tea to drink.

Melinda lets the attendants do her hair which means, Gasp! she was letting her hat come off her head. Her dark exotic locks were being sprayed with water and then wrapped up into elaborate curlers. "Oh my!" she says as she looks to the rollers that hold her hair up, but her expression changes when she is told the rollers can come out before the party is over. A bright smile is on her lips as she looks over to Desiree, "Try something will you My Lady?"

The attendants fast fingers receive an admiring smile from Valenica as she watches them trap and tame Melinda's hair into what will no doubt be a beautiful design judging by the care and flair in which they work. "It never fails to amaze how ridiculous one can look in order to look like a picture from a fairystory, yes? I think I envy men. They seem to put so much less through it into it." There is a pause. "Wel some men, at any rate," she concedes with a mischievous grin. "I should think your very talented ladies would be so very welcome on Merida's special day," she teases sweetly, dark eyes flashing to Desiree, Titaina and Sina's way.

Valencia claims that for Valencia... *plants a lovely flag in it.*

Titania nods, "Yes I am sure it will be lovely." she says softly standing up breathing deeply, "Perhaps I should have rested more." she smiles looking to Valencia moving over to her to place a kiss on her cheek, "We talk more your highness its been a while." she looks to Merida nodding her head, "Lady Merida always a pleasure to see you." she turns to look to Melinda, "I do apologize Lady Melinda I think I should go."

Desiree takes a sip of her tea and she smiles as she looks to Melinda. "I do think your hair will look amazing, and I'd like to try something. What do you think I should try?"

Valencia smiles gently and offers a little kiss upon Titania's cheek in return. "Yes, if you please. I would like that very much, Lady Titania," the little vixen nods. "Call on me when you can, or send missive. I would be pleased to attend, yes?"

The child claps her hands as she looks to Desiree once her toes are all done, "You can try this!" she says "It T-t-t-tickled." she says as she admires her toes a moment as she bounces over to get her hands done. She was sitting real real still for a young girl.

Melinda laughs a little and she nods her head to Sarah before she smiles to Desiree, "well it looks like you have your toes!" she says before she looks to Valencia. "I think you should get yours done Highness, we can parade around in curlers."

3 Rough and tumble sailors have been dismissed.

Valencia is overheard praising Melinda for: A beautiful and most gracious hostess who really knows how to pamper and spoil her guests. Bravo! And thank you so much!

Melinda nods to Titania, "Hope to see you around Lady Kennex." She says in the womans departure.

Desiree nods to Melinda and decides to have her own hair styled too. She sits. "I'm always up for a new look. I'm glad I came tonight."

Titania is overheard praising Melinda for: Fot doing a great job holding the Ladies night out party!

The little southern princess grins, "I must admit it has been some times since I have been pampered so. My work with the Hart has been so busy of late. But if I do, I should think that Mistress Sina should join us as well, yes?" Taking another little sip of her cup she sets it aside and moves to a chair so that her hair might be tended to as well. There is a little grin at Serah's toes, "You look most delightful, Lady Serah. A fine colour choice. WIll you have your hair set as well?" she asks with a playful smile, nodding gently to the attendant as the pampering begins in earnest.
