Well.

Personally, I've just about had it. Haven't you all? I know we've discussed the possibility of being done with this place -- finding a reason to head elsewhere and see if we can't narrow down Miss Aoife's feeling a bit.

Finally, thankfully, I might have something.

Maeve and I have turned up something interesting. A plantation about half a day south of here. It has the largest profit margins of any such place in Riva. It also has the highest Adveni slave population and Lord Silas's cooperative assistance in all of its business ventures. It also has tours of its many luxuries, more fresh tropical fruit than you'd ever want, and a very fine excuse for some bored, cooped up nobles to take a trip somewhere... not here.

Somewhere south, if you will.

What do you think?

I can't remember the last time I had to do my own cravat for an event like this. Sigh. I'm hardly suited to empty beds and empty rooms and buttoning my own shirt...

Ah, but I suppose you'll never do your own clothes again! Maidservants on the High Princess like ants, and...

...

I miss you. So badly.

They intend to burn a house with her inside, unable to escape. Crippled Nessarose has a house fall on her. Unfortunately, the woman I had didn't know which house. Need to know, she kept saying. "Elijah made sure that it was need to know."

Didn't we hear something about an Elijah?

Regardless...

I need to know the moment that a fire starts in Norey. Journals would be best. Scott, I don't suppose you could get someone on the fire brigade? Or better yet, volunteer yourself. We could know within minutes, before there was really any threat, anytime a fire started.

All right, what's the situation? And are you still staying at that charming little townhouse~? I need to set up.

I keep thinking I should beg you not to do this, but then I remember that I think you should do this and it's all very, very confusing.

I -- can't see you before, can I? I suppose not. You're in a wedding gown. You're facing forward. What good could I possibly do? And I'd ruin your dress. Julian would not appreciate that.

Dragons, I can't believe this is really happening.

Whatever this is, I could be a part of it.

She... she's closed me out. You know that, hah. Of course you do. And I hardly blame her. She had the appearance of a suitor to keep up, after all, and now...

But I was fond of her. Am fond of her. She and I have a lot more in common than I think you could imagine.

You're embroiled in this, I know, and I can help, if you can find a use for me. I would like to help. For you, as always, but for her, as well.

Marigold can wait.

Is the situation the way that the Messengers claimed? Assassinated neutrel parties? Ugly business. I hope this was just posturing, but from what they've done so far, it seems unlikely.

If nothing else, our project girl won't hear about it from these. I've confiscated her journal. One week.

... do you need me? It's all... above me, and yet... if there's anything I can do...

Well.

Her biggest problem is compulsion control. Dragons Light and Dark, actual messengers running notices from Elyiethe's theatre make her fingers twitch.

Three reports in the last hour within this block of a man matching Terrance's description, deep in the arms of the powder, getting money for performing... services.

Anything from you?

You can always spot the only other deeply unhappy preson in a very happy room, I find. Or maybe it's just me.

I suppose this party will be the thing! I've heard you're wearing a gown of orange and black. It might be a rumour, I suppose. I hope it's a rumour. That's not very subtle, is it?

Do you know what actually frustrates me about all of this, Fayre?

I really shouldn't be giving advice, but...

I seem to recall you saying that Brother Korvin was shy. Which contridicts, slightly, with how he was running his hands up my arm last night. I must say, it was a bit tempting. He's beautiful, isn't he? Sigh.

So is the forest around this city completely cleared of all undesirables? Because honestly, it seems like a nice place to take a snowy walk~ I don't suppose anyone else has a taste for such things.

So. You ... may have noticed I've been a shit, the last few months. Longer, in fact. I've been a shit since we left Eina, more or less. And I think it's likely that I'm going to become more of a shit, so I should ...

Well, if we're going to try and leave as soon as possible, we might as well all roll up our sleeves and do what we can to get the more unfortunate members of our company on their feet again. Point me in the right direction, I suppose~

Though I suppose I need to make it clear that I have no intent on stealing any glory~ I know how much social credit you can earn by playing the Valkuria. Hm, Lady Celeste, you seem especially dedicated to healing the sick and wounded and downtrodden~ There's no need to strike so many poses, you know, we all see how hard you're working. Your adoration from the masses will not be lost~

My, it's almost as if people have been intentionally keeping choice gossip from me. I wonder how long you all thought that would be viable?

And what really alarms me and surprises me about all of this is that people call me cruel. How quaint that is, considering.

Well, which is it?

Is this a fluke, or is it a pattern? You seemed eager enough to believe it was the former, on that first day, and as far as I see, it's only become more and more certain with every passing lonely day. And you have still yet to pick up your pen and write a word where you might be seen doing so, so you clearly think we have a reason to hide.

Are we hunting, or not? You may be able to ignore the itch under your fingernails and between your shoulderblades, temper it with all your affection, but I don't labour under those same concerns and I am going mad.
