Diplomatic Immunity: Wedding Bells a'Ringing

"You should read about Arris and Amaranthia if you have a chance, but books would never do either justice. Like most things in life, they are best experienced. Your father may be right to fear you going to Arris though, while it is a wonderful place, it is not without it's dangers."
"Trust me, he isn't going to even let me go to Amaranthia, which you say is basically without native dangers. If Arris has dangerous things, I'm even more sure of it. That's sad, though. It sounds like a nice place, and more importantly, it sounds from the way you speak that you really love Arris."

"Perhaps. Well, a normal one probably plays with her hair, picks out dresses, and goes to galas until she finds or is given a husband. Myself, I like to draw, make jewelry, and brew alchemical compounds--a crucial skill in making good jewelry, might I add."
“You’re not looking for a husband then, Amber? I’m sure all the young men are utterly heartbroken, if that is the case,” Tiberius says with a grin. “Hmm, well I do draw, mostly technical drawings, but I’ve never found the time for making jewellery or experimenting with alchemy...though Claudia has some talent in all those areas. I’m sure you two would get on very well indeed, and have plenty to discuss.”

"I do. Arris is a part of me, and always will be, perhaps in ways beyond explanation. She has blessed me, and I only wish I could do more for her."

"I don't know--how many Rowaini men would prefer to marry the girl who brews poison?" Amber jokes, "Yes, I see your wife is sketching something now, so I was going to go over and try to talk to her. I would probably draw at these things too, but my mother tells me it's antisocial."

"That sounds wonderful Vasha...sometimes I wish the angels had not 'blessed' me the way they did, but it sounds like Arris's blessing for you is only full of happiness."

“I suppose that might cause some concern, especially if they’re prone to misbehaving or tend to ignore you,” Tiberius chuckles. “Were you? What a coincidence. I said to Claudia before I left, that if I found you had similar interests, I’d see if you’d mind coming over. Well, Claudia probably wouldn’t be drawing either, but I think she’s still a little disturbed by the effect Helena had on her, when she came into the room. Hmm, how do you cope with the effects of her presence?”
 

"That's men all right," Amber agrees, "Helena? If you don't want her to affect you, just make sure that whatever you do, you don't look at her or get near her. That's usually enough to avoid any effects."

Vasha shakes her head, "If only it were Helena, but I choose to find the happyness in it, even if it has brought myself and others suffering."
 


"This suffering might hopefully be for the good of all Arris, but untill then, it is a burden I would gladly bear. I think Daddy would have liked that."
