It was a fine way to break the ice and provoke people to interaction which they might not have otherwise enjoyed. My challenge was to fill the glasses of four different guests, even if those glasses were already filled.
Thankfully, I was able to complete the task without ruining anyone's finery... and there was a great deal of finery on display.
My compliments must also go to the crafters involved. Mistress Aurora and Myrinda, Mistress Joscelin and Morrighan, Sir Mercier and Mistress Ida... everywhere I looked, examples of their work was evident, from the souvenirs given to the prizes in the raffle to the garments and jewelry that sparkled on the attendees. Also, Master Rook, who was the cause for so many compliments to my own appearance; I do not normally shine so and he must be thanked for that.
It was breathtaking.

Pietro made a fool of himself in the very best of ways, and I'm grateful again for the connections that Lord Valkieri and Lady Sylphie have made. The social circles in Arx are wide and high and entirely different from home, but seeing my brother thrive steadies me.

Fighting monsters! Exploring ruins! Death-defying feats! Sailing to foreign places and climbing all over them!
One thousand elephants!

My own task was an interesting one - serenade another in the ballroom. Of course, my victim was easily chosen, and I think the serenade that I thought up was a very fitting one.

What others have deemed as necessary to banter and pick apart verbally, I see as trite. There are far greater things to consider and I find it baffling that I have to humor some of these things.
Then again, kind is never the first adjective others use to describe me back home. To hear it so often here you'd think I was born anew.

She approached me around a month after I arrived to the city and since then, our business relationship has been a fruitful and successful one. I'm quite proud to be her patron.
I would also have to praise the efforts of Mistress Joscelin, as she was responsible for the favors, as well as those of Sir Silas, who built those magnificent chests that were awarded.
Finally, praise goes to Mistress Aurora, for she created the outfits the outfits worn by Acacia and I both.
I am pleased that everyone seemed to enjoy a taste of the Lyceum.

Relationship Note on Vincere
Vincere—at least, I'm fairly certain that one is Vincere—seems a bit of a scholar, interested more in the artifacts or scrolls I have brought back to the Archives than in tales of how they were retrieved. Still, a scholar who has an interest in history is an adventurer in a sense, even if they only journey through the bits of information we can salvage.
He might still be interested in the Adventurer's Society, even if perhaps not as intensely as his brother.

Relationship Note on Pietro
Pietro—at least, I think it was Pietro—seems a kindred spirit, someone who yearns for adventure and exploration. Though he's my own age, he has a level of enthusiasm that makes him seem younger than he is.
Perhaps someone who'd join the Adventurer's Society, or even a prospective plucky sidekick.

It would be a group dedicated to exploring, to discovering the forgotten past, to meeting new peoples... just generally to expanding our knowledge of our world, whether culturally, historically, or cartographically. A place for adventurers to meet, and share their stories and plans for expeditions. For those who are eager to learn more—or to join an expedition—to visit. And for those who are interested in providing financial backing (or some other form of resources) to an expedition to meet those whose efforts they are backing.
If nothing else, it would provide a social environment where I know everyone else shares my interests. And perhaps an excellent place to find someone to journey with me.

He did wonderfully even if he just barely missed running into wine serving servants. Chances are I would not have felt as comfortable or as safe were it someone else.

--and an unacknowledged bastard. She rules the kingdom for now, but her situation is more precarious than anyone else's I can think of. A wise woman to befriend, yes, but not, I think...
