Relationship Note on Bethany

Bethany is back!

Oh I couldn't be MORE HAPPY to have more family gathered in Arx! If I do not get to spend time with her quickly I will be extremely put out!

Relationship Note on Bethany

The Mercier Tea Shop has always been my favorite drinking establishment in this city, as I have a distinct appreciation for high quality tea. With Mistress Bethany Mercier returning to Arx, it is the humble opinion of the writer that the Tea Shop will only continue to grow in it's elegance. I look forward to making your acquaintance and seeing what you will do with the shop in the future.

Relationship Note on Aurora

Your skills remain legendary and the costumes you made for the cast of "The Spider's Journey" were exemplary. Especially well done on Caterina and the Prodigal's, Yasmine Rovashani's and Itzal Culler's.

I am honoured to be your patron, as ever.

Relationship Note on Yasmine

Your talents are showing themselves more and more in every performance. Your debut was excellent, your latest play exceptional, and may holy Jayus only look kindly upon your next performance too.

As ever, I'm proud to be your patron.

Every single word in that last sentence is an utter, blatant lie. Just ask around.

As recent events have proved to me, seeking is not the same as finding, and finding is not the same as succeeding.

[ From the desk of B. Mercier, Teashop Proprietor: ]

Spring's sprung -- and it's likely to be summer by the time I manage to properly clean all of the dust and cobwebs from every corner of the Loft above the shop. I discovered an old house sparrow nest tucked into the eaves of the roof when I flung open the windows to air out the room. There, the breeze picked up the corner of the curtain -- and it reminded me of a wave, somehow, something bidding me a farewell. Or a greeting. I waved back, because I always know that politeness pays. After that, I shouted (sorry, Silas, your sister will always stomp and yell - it's a terrible habit) to Mistress Lisette to put the kettle on because I need to review our ledgers and start planning!

It's good to be home.

My sister is back in the city! And apparently I'm an uncle. I'm equal parts anxious and excited.

Hopefully I can convince her to remain and not flee in terror!

BETRAYAL.

You LIED to me! I'm taking my tea and scones and going home!

(Not truly - I don't blame you. She is pretty amazing.)

Relationship Note on Bethany

Bethany Mercier! A message from Bethany Mercier! I can't believe it, my favorite Mercier is back in the city (I'm sorry, Silas, you know the truth now-).

This is the best news I've heard in weeks. I'm so very happy! My face hurts from the smiling!

I regret -nothing-!

Bethany! Welcome back, my darling!

It isn't too often these days that I pick up my thread and sewing needle, but I've found a bit of inspiration with the changing season. Quite often I spend my mornings in Lagoma's Shrine, and it was one particular day recently, while the priests were working on the garden, that motivation struck. They were burning and clearing the old plants, replacing them with the new, and it was that transition that produced a spark of creativity. When winter ends and spring arrives, everything is renewed, life returns, and all is so colorful and vibrant. I incorporated that into the overall design, and I'm fairly confident my client will be very pleased with what I've created, I daresay it's quite beautiful.

No, good sir. That is not why I care for him. He just loves to dote on me with gifts though I do tell him he does not have to. His company is a grand prize on its own.

Relationship Note on Derovai

I haven't been spending A LOT mind you. Compared to the wealth I have. It's not so much I spend a lot but more Diamondplate is REALLY, REALLY DAMN EXPENSIVE. Besides, anything spent on Princess Cadenza is well spent in my opinion.

Rather then worry about me, we should find you a man or woman you can blow tons of silver on. Or better yet, will blow tons of silver on you. Any takers? Dero here might have the charm of the unwashed ass of a deformed mule, but he is really a good man at heart, and very intelligent.

Battle comes and the Gods call on those they love to defend our world. As I ride shoulder to shoulder with my brothers and sisters in the Silver Order, I face no fear of death. Rather the only anxiety that racks my mind is that I do the stories proud when they come singing of our victory. Whether I live to hear them or not shall be another story, but if such must be the case, I would like to take a moment to publicly thank those who have aided me throughout my time here in the city.

Thank you to my Commanding Officer Dame Thena, for giving me a place in the Silver Order so that I might serve in all facets. The House of Solace has never been cleaner and truly, I have her to thank for allowing me to accomplish any task that is set before us.

Thank you to my brother in arms Sir Jeffeth, for being by my side in all things. I consider myself lucky to have ever crossed paths with him in the first place. To also count on him as a shield and sword in our shared plight is something I'll never repay in my lifetime.

Thank you to my patron, Marquessa Cambria Mazetti. Without you to offer a guiding hand, my dreams would seem so far away. Your faith in me has been a blessing and a light in the darkness for all my time spent in this city. Radiance will serve her duty proudly on the front lines.

Thank you to my good friend, Lord Theron Mazetti. Good people, faithful people and reliable people are hard to come by. To have all three is a diamond in the rough and I am proud to count Lord Theron and Sir Jeffeth as two of my bestest of bestie best friends.

Thank you to Gloria for guiding this mortal's blade into the darkest times to bring light.

Thank you to Gild for lighting my path and showing me the the honor that comes in helping those less fortunate.

Now I return to my post, to ponder whether or not the North stocks its own share of cakes...

The great thing about that dichotomy, too: it's a matter of self-selection.

I have learned something today.

Some people are afraid for their lives.
Some people are not.

Both have their uses.

Relationship Note on Caspian

Caspian, we need to talk about where you're putting your money. You know what the word "princess" implies, right? Especially when the second-to-next word is "Velenosa"? Love's one thing, but being a spendthrift for love is entirely another. Be smarter.

To Princess Cadenza: Your Highness, surely you're not interested in Caspian for his money or the gifts. Right?

I do enjoy walking into the homes of very rich people and seeing something from my shop there.
