Where the fuck did I go wrong with my life?
I offer my prayers to Mangata and the Dark Thirteenth that our mission is successful.
For those who've passed on, and have yet to do so, both.

Relationship Note on Ian
( Done in graphite and overlaid with ink, with specific and hyper-realistic attention to the details of the textures. A black coat folded precisely and set aside on a wooden bench. A polished cane set on top of the folded coat. A flask, dull in comparison to the shine on the cane, has a design of a serpent upon it. The still life drawing seems to be a frozen moment of waiting or watching. )

Relationship Note on Arianna
A fair face, head tipped back, long and unpinned hair caught in an indecisive color - neither gold nor silver. A vexing color in between that the paint cannot quite capture, although effort has been made to. Across bare shoulders with skin white as marble, and that hair falls down her back, as a mantle. She's smiling, and the vivaciousness in that expression is reflected in every other feature. Summer sky blue eyes are playful, devious. )

Relationship Note on Ian
Some may not call him kind but detached, but if one is willing to train someone who obviously has no skill so patiently, I would call that kind.

I sold a few perfumes more in the shop.
Not much more...

It has been so for me however, much more than I expected it to be. Admittedly I found that piece alone highly irritating at first, that I should be influenced by something so commonplace given how little attention I have afforded to romance or politics or the ways in which they sometimes converge.
I enjoy being married. I do not tolerate it as a necessary part of my duty to House Pravus as I expected to. Instead I find it engages me. Being part of a family that I do not yet know and now having duties to them. I've never been particularly uncomfortable with being an outsider, it is all I have ever known, and thus holds no novelty for its own sake. The novelty is in the new place I play an old role, and especially in my sudden interest in it. The place. The role. The people.
I have given myself again twice over to my faith, to the Thirteenth and all those He enlightens. The thrill of that is impossible to adequately describe, a far different thing than the thrill of being someone's wife, of being a Marquessa. That they -both- contain any type of thrill at all was not what I expected nor prepared for. I enjoy the inaccuracy of my own opinions and relish in the sudden truths behind them. A lesson perhaps on avoiding being too enamored of ones own assumptions, for what is more reflective than being forced to look again.

Really, I feel like in the wake of Niamh's passing I've had trouble letting people close. I've held everyone at arms' length; even my friends have been addressed by title, and most of my conversations have been very focused on specific topics: the various dark forces we're facing, philosophy, and so on.
I've had a few conversations, here and there, which are an exception to the rule. Where I let my guard down a bit, with family or a friend, and actually /talk/ rather than just... being business. And it makes me think I do need to open up more again. To let people close. To actually /engage/ with my friends properly again.
Because while keeping everyone at arms' length is safe -- it keeps you from being hurt again -- after some point, it starts to get lonely.
