In-Character

Saraphenia Autumnwind, or Phenia to her friends and lovers, was the wife of Leafiara Autumnwind, who Phenia called "Goddess" and to whom Phenia called herself "her Dragonfly." Born a slave on the 10th of Charlatos, 5089 on the Aelotoi home world of Bre'Naere, Saraphenia managed to escape the Kiramon when only a small child. Later in life, on Elanthia, she would become a citizen and eventually a Town Councilor of Wehnimer's Landing. In time, she would become a staple in many organizations, most notably a board member officer of the Raise Your Stout Krew (RYSK) and the right hand of founder Julenne, building it up in its early days.

Throughout her adventuring career, Phenia would establish herself at first as the Battling Bardess, but struggles ultimately led her to refocus her training and become a monk, whose combat principles she would embrace to see her through to the end of her training journey. Known also as the Aelotoi of Love, Phenia was a cheery girl with a sunny disposition and a sweet heart who gave generously to even the youngest adventurers and embodied the Cyrtae'ni culture's optimistic view of the future.

Leafiara says, "On the other hand, it's kind of like people randomly come into your life and then just as randomly leave."

(Charlatos 16, 5122)

Saraphenia says, "I've never been able to afford the Ebon's Gate Festival."
Saraphenia says, "So I've been to Ebon's Gate exactly not one time."
Saraphenia says, "To be honest with you, that's why I don't like festival times, or things like Duskruin, because I'm poor and can't afford them." 
(Charlatos 18, 5122)

Saraphenia says, "She just thought to me. Told me she's upset and that she has to go, that she'll talk to me later."
Saraphenia sadly says, "But I can't even fathom what I did wrong..."
Saraphenia sadly says, "That's what makes me so fearful...other than you, Saranja and Ghia...I never get consistency with anyone."
Saraphenia says, "And you're the only one who's been consistently consistent."
Saraphenia tearfully says, "I just try so hard and one thing I don't even realize I do just topples the whole house."
(Olaesta 1, 5122)

Speaking to Leafiara, Saraphenia says, "I want to apologize, first of all, for being melancholy last night."
Leafiara says, "Oh, we all have rough days, that's okay."
Saraphenia sadly says, "I was feeling rather invisible. Especially after I gave [a friend] a hug and she just simply walked away from me, walked out of my arms like I was nothing more than a breath of wind."
Leafiara says, "Oh, I don't think it was anything personal... it was a very loud party, you know."
Leafiara says, "But either way..."
Leafiara hugs Saraphenia, who wraps her in a warm embrace.
Saraphenia says, "Well, I was saying hi to folks, was trying to be polite and I mostly got ignored. I know it wasn't my night, but I told [the bride] that I thought she was beautiful and she turned to talk to someone else."
Leafiara says, "Love, listen, parties and events are a very challenging thing to host and actually hear everything everyone's saying..."
Saraphenia says, "It got me to thinking if I hurt anyone at our own wedding and it made me sad."
Leafiara says, "I managed to ignore the groom himself when he was talking to me once."
Speaking confusedly to Saraphenia, Leafiara asks, "Why would that have been the case?"
Saraphenia says, "I wonder if I ignored anyone."
Leafiara says, "Well..."
Leafiara says, "I won't lie, it's totally possible, but these things happen on accident."
Saraphenia says, "I'm sorry I was feeling insecure last night."
Leafiara reassuringly says, "It's alright, love."
Saraphenia quietly asks, "How do you even tolerate me?"
Leafiara asks, "I was going to say you make honest mistakes, but it's not even that, because it's not like you're *doing* anything wrong... more like just thinking something wrong?"
Leafiara says, "By thinking someone's ignoring you or was hurt by you when probably it was nothing like that."
Leafiara says, "It's often really just as simple as things being busy and someone not noticing."
Saraphenia quietly says, "I never want to hurt anyone...at the same time, I guess I have a faulty brain. because I think the way I think..."
Leafiara says, "It's just lack of experience, I think."
Saraphenia says, "Gods know that I...nobody, outside of a few small few, including everyone in this house...actually knows me."
Saraphenia says, "How many outside you, Saranja, and maybe Ghia truly know me, the multi-faceted me. The actual me. The me that you married."
Leafiara asks, "Well, not many, but... I mean, do you think it's any different for most people?"
Speaking thoughtfully to Leafiara, Saraphenia says, "You're right. Most folks have a public and a private persona."
(Ivastaen 16, 5122)

[Focused] Saraphenia thinks, "I'm standing all alone at Beacon Tower, cold and shivering...nobody's snuggling the Aelotoi...."

(during a silver auction)
Saraphenia irritatedly says, "I'm going back to Solhaven."
(Koaratos 11, 5122)

Saraphenia says, "There's just SO MUCH I don't know."
Saraphenia says, "Just a little frustrated with myself, Your Majesty."
Saraphenia says, "I was just thinking about all the things I SHOULD know but DON'T know..."
Saraphenia says, "I've been wandering these lands for so very long, and yet, I'm as dumb as a turnip."
(Phoenatos 4, 5122)

[General] Saraphenia asks, "Does anyone want to keep The Aelotoi of Love company at the Thrak Inn whilst her head clears??"
[General] Saraphenia thinks, "Everyone's busy...makes for a long night for me..."
[General] Saraphenia asks, "Nobody wants to come keep the Aelotoi of Love company and have some nice conversation as her head clears?"
[General] Saraphenia exclaims, "If you want to know why I call myself the Aelotoi of Love, come to the Thrak table I'm at and ask me!"
(Phoenatos 28, 5122)

Saraphenia says, "You know, Your Majesty, nobody other than You takes me seriously, but I actually do care about this town. I'm a citizen here too, and most, it seems, just dismiss my opinion..."
Speaking to Saraphenia, Leafiara says, "I know you do care."
Saraphenia asks, "I mean, seriously, am I as truly flighty as folk make me out to be?"
Saraphenia says, "Most folk know me as a bubbly, kind of goofy, emotional sort of a girl...but when I try to be serious, they don't believe I'm being serious..."
Saraphenia says, "YOU take me seriously, Majesty...but then, Your Majesty knows more about me than anyone else in these lands do."
(Phoenatos 29, 5122)

Speaking quietly to Leafiara, Saraphenia says, "Just feeling a little down tonight, Majesty."
Saraphenia quietly says, "Trying to be happy, bubbly is hard to do all the time."
Leafiara curiously says, "I mean, you certainly don't have to..."
Speaking quietly to Leafiara, Saraphenia says, "I guess I just feel things more than most folks..."
Saraphenia quietly says, "Maybe I've taken too many blows to the head..."
Saraphenia quietly says, "I just feel like, when I get like this, that I'm a disappointment."
Leafiara asks, "To who, though?"
Leafiara says, "I think it's all in your own mind."
Saraphenia quietly says, "Everyone."
Leafiara says, "The rest of us are looking on and seeing you come along so far."
Saraphenia quietly says, "I'm trying to Majesty."
(Imaerasta 7, 5122)

Saraphenia softly says, "Perhaps Dragonfly should just leave her Theorbo on her shoulder....or stow it away in a locker."
Saraphenia asks, "Or should Dragonfly sell her musical instruments?"
Saraphenia quietly says, "She's no longer a bardess..."
Speaking sadly to her silver maple theorbo, Saraphenia whispers aloud, "I never got to tell him goodbye."
Saraphenia softly says, "He was my best friend for a time...his name was Ironoma..."
Saraphenia says, "He gave me this theorbo."
Saraphenia sadly says, "He just vanished one day."
Speaking softly to Leafiara, Saraphenia says, "Sometimes my past haunts me, Goddess...."
Saraphenia quietly says, "That has happened to me more often than not."
Speaking thickly to Leafiara, Saraphenia says, "And that is why I love You so much, Goddess....You have never disappeared...never cast me aside, not even once....You could have easily done so, knowing that I was the least known of Your fiancees, and so, the most expendable....but You...You picked me back up, and put me back together...put me together just the way You want me...Never have You judged me...never have You resented me....You have only loved me..."
Speaking thickly to Leafiara, Saraphenia says, "Dragonfly is sorry, Goddess, for her...uncontrolled emotion..."
Speaking quietly to Leafiara, Saraphenia says, "Dragonfly has a very complicated past...and as deeply as she feels things, sometimes when it bubbles to the surface, it becomes overwhelming."
Saraphenia quietly says, "Sometimes, Dragonfly thinks she feels TOO much."
(Jastatos 27, 5122)

Saraphenia says, "I REALLY don't want to go back to Ta'Vaalor."
Speaking to Leafiara, Saraphenia says, "That's where my first husband abandoned me."
Saraphenia says, "All of three trainings as a bardess, and he has me moved out in the middle of the night after drugging me to sleep. I woke up in a gutter in nothing but a nightgown."
Saraphenia says, "If it weren't for the kindly Faendryl Lord and his wife that took pity on me, I'd probably still be there, begging on the streets in my nightgown."
(Eoantos 24, 5122)

Saraphenia asks, "Why do your spinners hate me??"
Saraphenia exclaims, "I've been to eight merchants in the last two months and nothing!"
Saraphenia sadly says, "I just want my Winterfest gown created."
(Eoantos 29, 5122)

Saraphenia says, "A low energy kind of night."
Saraphenia says, "Something unidentified is tugging at me....causing me to feel down." 
(Eorgaen 15, 5122)

Saraphenia says, "I have so much going on as of late....I'm hoping beyond hope that I'm not neglecting my Goddess....or the myriad dozen of other things I have going on..."
Leafiara curiously asks, "What do you mean?"
Leafiara says, "I haven't felt neglected at all."
Leafiara asks, "But I meant... what do you mean about so much going on?"
Saraphenia says, "Well, I have RYSK, I have my training, I have a lot of folks wanting my time and attention now...I'm not used to all of that....not that I mind it, really....but I feel like I'm being pulled in so many directions..."
Leafiara says, "Ahh."
Leafiara says, "Now you know how it's been for me."
Saraphenia says, "The thing of it is...the most important thing in my life is You, Goddess...."
Leafiara says, "I'm not sure I would have even noticed if you hadn't said anything, sweets."
Saraphenia emphasizes, "The MOST Important is You!"
Leafiara says, "I know that, love..."
Leafiara says, "That doesn't mean you shouldn't also have fun doing these things for the community and everybody."
Leafiara says, "Or that you should feel bad or worried."
Speaking worriedly to Leafiara, Saraphenia says, "I don't want to be forgotten by You, Goddess..."
Leafiara says, "Love, we come home together almost every night."
Leafiara asks, "Why would I ever forget you?"
Saraphenia says, "I've had times in my life where I and past partners have had our own things we were doing....too many times it caused the two to drift apart...."
Leafiara asks, "But they didn't marry you, did they?"
Leafiara says, "I promised to be with you."
Speaking softly to Leafiara, Saraphenia says, "You did, Goddess....I just have my own insecurities sometimes....I keep having thoughts that this is a dream and I will wake up alone, in a gutter in Ta'Vaalor...."
Leafiara firmly says, "Well, it's not a dream."
Saraphenia asks, "How do You even put up with me, Goddess?"
Leafiara lightly says, "I usually know how to cheer you up."
Saraphenia says, "I have to admit, You know me better than anyone else anywhere does."
Saraphenia says, "Face it, Goddess, You married a rather emotional woman."
Leafiara amusedly says, "I'm well aware."
Speaking coyly to Leafiara, Saraphenia asks, "Just a smidge, huh?"
Saraphenia says, "You know, Goddess, I think that might be why some find me...annoying....because I'm free with my emotions when they can't be."
Leafiara says, "They can be."
Leafiara says, "They just won't be."
Leafiara says, "But yes."
(Eorgaen 22, 5122)

Saraphenia quietly says, "I shouldn't have let my emotions get the better of me."
Saraphenia quietly says, "But I realize I am a creature of emotion..."
(Lormesta 6, 5123)

Saraphenia says, "[A friend] is mad at me. I don't want to make her uncomfortable."
Saraphenia says, "It saddens me."
Saraphenia sadly says, "I just wish I knew what I did wrong."
Saraphenia sadly says, "That's the story of my life. I anger folks without ever knowing how or why. I ask for an explanation and get none. I ask to make amends for whatever perceived slight I have done and get none."
Saraphenia sadly asks, "I have lost so many friends that way. And I never know why. Maybe I'm being too sensitive?"
(Koaratos 6, 5123)

Saraphenia asks, "Am I clingy, Goddess?"
Leafiara asks, "Maybe more needy than clingy?"
Saraphenia says, "I guess I can see that."
Leafiara says, "I hope you can, because even I'm not sure what I mean."
Saraphenia says, "I hope my neediness doesn't bother you, Goddess."
Leafiara amusedly says, "If it bothered me, we wouldn't have gotten married. I've always known."
Leafiara says, "You do need a lot of time and love when you need it."
Saraphenia says, "And you have never turned me away, Goddess."
Leafiara says, "That's not true, though... there have been times where I've needed to run off to some scheduled event I already had going."
Leafiara says, "I mean, arguably tonight was even one of those times."
Leafiara says, "I do think you've grown stronger and that I've helped you. And I'm not talking about physical strength, but emotional."
Leafiara says, "There was a time I might honestly have considered canceling my no notice because you were in a rough spot just before then."
Leafiara says, "But I trust more in you now to be able to get through it."
Leafiara says, "And I think it's because you know, at the end of the day, I'll always be back."
Leafiara says, "I'll be your foundation you can rely on, your sure bet."
Saraphenia says, "Precisely, Goddess."
Saraphenia asks, "That's the biggest thing, Goddess...you always come back to me...do you realize how much that means to me?"
Leafiara simply replies, "I do."
Leafiara says, "That's why it was the last thing I said in our vows."
Saraphenia says, "You're the only one who has ever made me that promise and kept it."
(Koaratos 8, 5123)

Saraphenia says, "I CAN be annoying, so I'm told."
Leafiara says, "Well, you can be very persistent."
Saraphenia says, "When I want something, yes I can."
Leafiara says, "At least you know."
Saraphenia says, "I think that's why I have some detractors, they hate my enthusiasm and persistence."
(Koaratos 16, 5123)

Leafiara says, "Your being a RYSK officer..."
Leafiara says, "That, too, is almost all you."
Leafiara says, "I only know Jules and Citan in passing. They threw their support behind you themselves."
Saraphenia says, "They did come to me with the idea."
Saraphenia says, "And I gave them their first million silver."
Leafiara says, "You have an impressive history now."
Leafiara says, "Whatever came before, well, the past is the past."
Leafiara says, "But right now, you impress me every month. Maybe even every week."
Speaking curiously to Leafiara, Saraphenia asks, "Why Goddess?"
Leafiara says, "Because you're always making new friends fast."
Leafiara says, "And, well, you seem to do way less work than me to do it."
Leafiara says, "Every time I turn around, you've made a new Domshella friend, or Toxy and Rysul, or Tamranessa, or someone else I've never seen who you've just hit it off with instantly."
Leafiara says, "And somehow you do all of this even while I know how much time you *also* spend hunting with me, off in Solhaven somewhere where there's nobody else around."
Saraphenia exclaims, "Well Goddess, my training is important to me...and you!"
Leafiara says, "I know."
Leafiara says, "But that's what makes it all the more impressive how many relationships you still build between training."
Saraphenia says, "I truly have no idea how I do it."
Leafiara says, "I know this will sound crazy..."
Leafiara says, "But I think you're way more a natural at making friends than I am."
Saraphenia says, "I do know how to connect with folks...but that also works against me, because there are a fair number of folks from my past that seem to think I wronged them in some form or fashion."
Leafiara says, "Well, that's okay."
Leafiara says, "I mean, I'm sure it hurts and is hard to deal with when those people are around."
Leafiara says, "But what I'm saying is, in the sense of the election, it's okay."
Saraphenia says, "I'm just too emotionally sensitive."
(Koaratos 26, 5123)

Saraphenia asks, "Am I as good as most at my training level?"
Leafiara amusedly asks, "Do you really want to know the answer?"
Leafiara says, "Most people have no clue what they're doing."
Leafiara says, "But you have me."
Leafiara says, "So you're a lot better than most at your training."
Saraphenia says, "I admit, I really don't know what I'm doing either."
Leafiara says, "You wouldn't know what you're doing either if not for me... you didn't."
Saraphenia says, "If I knew HALF of what you know, Goddess, I'd be dangerous."
Leafiara says, "It's not that hard to eventually see a trainer for the final time just on sheer persistence, even struggling all the way through... sooner or later, a person can get there even blundering the entire way."
Leafiara says, "For what it's worth, I didn't know what I know now back when I was training either."
Leafiara says, "I made many dumb blunders."
Saraphenia says, "Blundering was exactly what I was doing as a bardess. I should've been called The Blundering Bardess."
(Phoenatos 18, 5123)

Saraphenia firmly exclaims, "I'm done being a simpering fool, Goddess. If someone wants to treat me like [trash], they're going to find that this Aelotoi has fangs. I am sick and tired of being blamed for things I have nothing to do with and being thought of as someone easily taken advantage of!"
Saraphenia firmly continues, "Time and time and time again, I have been treated as an afterthought, an also ran, nothing more than a doormat! No more! I know who loves me, I know who doesn't. I am DONE catering to anyone who thinks they can take advantage of me!"
(Phoenatos 21, 5123)

Saraphenia says, "I'm feeling a little down tonight, Goddess...I'm getting tired of just falling asleep everywhere when I don't want to."
(Phoenatos 24, 5123)

Saraphenia says, "I never feel like I have enough to do when I'm alone."
Saraphenia says, "I realize that those I love are always so busy."
Saraphenia says, "I kind of feel left out."
(Phoenatos 31, 5123)

Leafiara asks, "Okay... then how exactly are you supposed to know what the problem is?"
Leafiara says, "Of course, that's even assuming there's a problem in the first place."
Saraphenia quickly snaps, "I never get to know what the problem is! Nobody ever tells me what I do wrong! I just offend and offend and offend and nobody ever has the [...] nerve to come talk to me about what [...] I do wrong!"
Saraphenia quickly apologizes, "I'm sorry Goddess! I don't mean to snap at you!"
Leafiara says, "No, it's fine."
Saraphenia asks, "I have had a lot of wrong done to me over the years and I try to forgive and forget! I don't hold grudges, so [...] why am *I* the offensive one??"
Leafiara says, "If they won't tell you, then there's nothing to do. Maybe there is no offense and someone just dislikes you or gets jealous and tries to get friends to go after you."
Saraphenia exclaims, "I just don't understand it, Goddess. I just don't understand what I could've done wrong to any of them!"

(Eoantos 15, 5123)

Speaking in Aelotian, Saraphenia says, "I swear, Goddess...it's times like this, if I didn't have you, I'd just throw up my hands and walk away."
Speaking in Aelotian, Saraphenia says, "But it just felt like it has before with others...one minute they love me, the next, I'm beneath scum."
Speaking in Aelotian, Saraphenia says, "It's not like it happens instantly...just like [with someone], it happens slowly."
Speaking in Aelotian, Saraphenia asks, "What is it about me that people end up hating me?"
Speaking in Aelotian, Saraphenia says, "All I wanted to ask [her] is what exactly I did wrong for her to no longer be my friend."
Speaking in Aelotian, Saraphenia says, "I don't know why I care..."
(Eoantos 29, 5123)

Leafiara asks, "What's wrong? Just nobody coming to Moot Hall?" (after inviting people to speak with her in the council chambers)
(Saraphenia wipes a few tears from her cheeks.)
Saraphenia says, "That started my night out badly...then I kept asking [people] to remind me where [a different] meeting was so I could be there, but they never responded to me until [one of them] asked me in a long distance whisper where I was at..."
Saraphenia says, "I'm feeling very angry...very hurt and very sad."
Leafiara says, "They might just not have heard you."
Saraphenia sneers, "But I guess it's okay, it's just Saraphenia. Nobody need take heed of her anyway. She's inconsequential."
Saraphenia pounds her fist on the wooden table!
Saraphenia bursts out in tears of frustrated anger.
Saraphenia angrily cries, "Nobody would ever treat you that way, Goddess!"
Leafiara says, "I assure you it's not that... people were away at the games, and even if they weren't at the games, they don't know enough about current events to come to an impromptu meeting."
Leafiara blinks at Saraphenia.
Leafiara asks, "...wait, is that really what you think?"
Saraphenia exclaims, "You're highly beloved!"
Leafiara asks, "Sure. So how many people do you think came to me when I was a councilor?"
Saraphenia exclaims, "Way more than will ever come to me!"
Leafiara says, "No."
Leafiara says, "The answer is zero."
Leafiara says, "It never happened."
(Saraphenia lets out a sigh of frustrated sadness.)
Leafiara asks, "Remember when I said I thought I did a poor job, and you said I didn't?"
Saraphenia says, "Let me just say, Goddess, I've had a bad day."
Saraphenia says, "I do remember that."
Leafiara says, "That's why I said it. Nobody ever seemed to care unless they were complaining or cracking jokes."
Saraphenia says, "Maybe I'm not cut out for this job..."
Saraphenia sighs resignedly.
(Eorgaen 3, 5123)

Saraphenia says, "I feel like I haven't given enough of myself to my Goddess, since my training finished. I mean, I don't hunt like I did before, I've not attended to my town duties...not like there has been anything to attend to, but still...and I've been letting anger at [someone] cloud my thinking, when she could give two piles of rolton dung about how I feel..."
(Eorgaen 29, 5123)

Saraphenia says, "I feel utterly lost now."
Leafiara asks, "In what way?"
Leafiara says, "Phenia..."
Saraphenia says, "I ran on an anti empire platform and I've utterly failed at my position." She shakes her head. "I might as well quit and disappear."
Leafiara says, "It's not you who's changed. It's the world around you."
Leafiara says, "What could you have done? The mayor invited them in."
Saraphenia says, "I would have at least voiced my strong opposition to this to the mayor."
Saraphenia says, "I didn't even get to do that." (Saraphenia wipes a few angry tears from her cheeks.)
Saraphenia says, "I've failed the town. I've failed the voters. I've failed YOU."
Leafiara says, "There's only one person saying that."
Leafiara says, "And I'm looking at her."
Leafiara says, "I know because, again, I've been where you are."
Leafiara says, "I also know that nothing I can say will change your mind."
Leafiara says, "Just as nothing you could say changed my mind when I told you I failed."
Leafiara says, "But I'm saying it anyway."
Leafiara says, "Because I believe it, as I know you believed it when you said it to me."
Saraphenia hangs her head.
Leafiara absently runs her fingers through Saraphenia's blue-black hair.
Saraphenia's lower lip trembles slightly.
(Saraphenia lowers her head to her Goddess' chest, crying softly.)
Leafiara throws her arms around Saraphenia, hugging her warmly.
Saraphenia tearfully says, "I just wanted to do good for this town."
(Olaesta 13, 5124)

Leafiara says, "Hey..."
Saraphenia says, "Straw."
Saraphenia giggles.
Leafiara says, "Sweets, for what it's worth, I'm sorry you've been having such a frustrating time."
Leafiara says, "I wasn't trying to be dismissive, more just... reminding that a few loud voices or even one day of a rough crowd isn't everybody."
Leafiara says, "But I know as well as anyone how real the struggle is."
Saraphenia says, "It just upsets me, is all."
Leafiara says, "I understand."
Leafiara says, "I'm sure you wonder at times, as I did, what you're even fighting for anymore."
Saraphenia says, "I absolutely do."
Saraphenia says, "I feel like an island."
Saraphenia says, "Being buffeted by the rough seas."

Speaking to Saraphenia, Leafiara asks, "Are you confident in that?"

Saraphenia asks, "Can You imagine me capped??"
(Eoantos 1, 5122)

Saraphenia says, "I don't think I'm in the running for Frost Queen. I never got a letter about it."
Saraphenia says, "I had read when I submitted my application that the first five women would be in the running. I must not have gotten it in in time."
Saraphenia says, "I figured I'd probably lose, but I at least wanted a chance to try."
Saraphenia sighs, "I guess it doesn't matter."

(the next day, she finds out she is in the running; however, twelve days after that...)

Speaking to Leafiara, Saraphenia exclaims, "Even *I* did!"
Speaking to Saraphenia, Leafiara says, "When they said the runner up was only one vote behind, I was already preparing my speech about how amazing it was to get even that close..."
Speaking to Saraphenia, Leafiara exclaims, "But you did it!"

Saraphenia exclaims, "I don't know HOW I won!"

[General] Saraphenia exclaims, "I am officially 3/4 of the way to capping! 75 trainings tonight!!"
(Lormesta 19, 5123)

Saraphenia asks, "My Goddess HAS helped me focus my energies into things I want to attain and achieve. Do you remember how many times I saw the trainer the last time you saw me before now?"
Saraphenia says, "It was 36. I only gained seven trainings in NINE years! Until my Goddess made an honest woman of me."
(Charlatos 14, 5123)

Saraphenia softly says, "I am Saraphenia Autumnwind. I am proud to be her."

(after her first Sanctum of Scales hunt with Leafi at level 89)

(Koaratos 12, 5123)

Leafiara says, "One day I think we should do a vow renewal with a fancier wedding."
Leafiara says, "I don't know when. It takes a lot of advance planning."
Leafiara says, "But..."
Saraphenia happily squeals, "Yes Goddess!!"
Leafiara says, "Well, we did move pretty quickly on that."
Leafiara says, "We made of it what we could, had a great host, had a great officiant..."
Leafiara says, "But I'd like to take our time next time."
Leafiara says, "I'm not saying we were wrong with what we did. I'm glad you wanted us to move forward."
Leafiara says, "Because you were right, we'd just been stagnant and waiting for a perfect time that would never come."
Leafiara says, "But now all that pressure is gone anyway..."
Leafiara says, "So we can afford to really plan it out fully."
Speaking submissively to Leafiara, Saraphenia exclaims, "Dragonfly is happy we did what we did when we did! Dragonfly will be exceptionally happy to renew her vows to her Goddess!"
Speaking submissively to Leafiara, Saraphenia exclaims, "Dragonfly is very happy Goddess!"

Leafiara says, "Mostly you."
(Phoenatos 10, 5123)

Leafiara says, "Little by little, you're reaching a point of saying you've done it all."
Saraphenia says, "I've done this and that."
Saraphenia says, "Maybe more of this than that."
Saraphenia says, "I just can't believe I've done all that I have in the last year or so."
Saraphenia exclaims, "Frost Queen, Town Councilor, closing in on my 100th training...and of course, marrying the most amazing and beautiful and sexy woman in the lands!"
Leafiara says, "RYSK officer too, by the way."
Saraphenia exclaims, "Oh yes!"
Saraphenia exclaims, "And I joined Twilight Hall!"

(Phoenatos 29, 5123)

Saraphenia exclaims, "This is my final push. I can taste it, Goddess!"
[General] Saraphenia exclaims, "I'm making my final push to 100 tonight!!"

Saraphenia says, "On this pace, I'll cap in less than an hour."

(later...)

Saraphenia exclaims, "Goddess! I'm going to cap tonight!!"

[General] Saraphenia exclaims, "Who is the best monk of all?? Come show your skills at 9 Elven to the Rusty Cutlass! ONE lucky Monk will win a prize (not me, though, because I'm running the thing!) ALL, not just Monks, are welcome to join the fight!"
[General] Saraphenia exclaims, "Come to Monk Fest at the Rusty Cutlass! Monks, do you want to win silver?? The monk who is able to hurt me the worst will win an amazing prize!"
(Imaerasta 17, 5123)

Saraphenia says, "I don't have much in the way of silver."
Leafiara says, "Nothing there costs silver anyway."

Leafiara exclaims, "That's a lot of silver!"
Saraphenia says, "Tonight is the first time I've ever crossed that threshold."

Saraphenia exclaims, "Welcome to your Dragonfly's office!"

Saraphenia exclaims, "It should be, you helped create it!"
Leafiara exclaims, "Well, yes, but designing it on paper and seeing it come to life are different things!"

Leafiara approvingly exclaims, "Looking good!"

Leafiara says, "You actually posed once already, but it was in the council chambers."
Leafiara says, "I'd just need to find where I left my paintbrush."
Saraphenia asks, "Which would be better? Here or in the Council Chambers?"
Leafiara exclaims, "Here, of course!"
(Saraphenia swivels in her chair a bit with a giggle.)

Speaking to Leafiara, Saraphenia asks, "Why doesn't anyone say hi anymore?"
(Imaerasta 7, 5122)

Saraphenia says, "I just want to include You in things I do, include You in my life..."
Leafiara asks, "I just kind of sigh on the inside because people don't know what I went through, you know?"
Speaking to Saraphenia, Leafiara says, "I understand that. And it's why I haven't brought it up until now."
Leafiara says, "But I have a hard time meeting new people right now."
Leafiara says, "It comes back to me." 
Saraphenia says, "I'm happy You retired from politics, Goddess."

Leafiara suddenly says, "Oh."
Leafiara thoughtfully says, "Well, I guess I did do that."
Leafiara says, "But I never campaigned for you."
Leafiara says, "Honestly, it's because I was scared that if I did campaign for you and you didn't win, you'd feel terrible that even I couldn't get you there."
Leafiara says, "So I didn't help whatsoever."
Leafiara says, "Imagine my surprise and pride when you won anyway."

Saraphenia continues, "This man who is kneeling before the court right now saw me, in the waters of Darkstone Bay. This man, kneeling before the court right now took deliberate aim with a cannon on his ship and fired that cannon at me."
Saraphenia says, "His cannonball hit me square in my chest...the cannonball killed me. Were it not for the healers and my wife, who happens to be a gifted cleric, I would not be here to provide this testimony. I would be dead."
Speaking to Bodohal, Saraphenia exclaims, "You laughed as you watched your cannonball slam into my chest!"
Speaking to Bodohal, Saraphenia says, "And YOU should spend the rest of your days rotting in a filthy cell! Hanging is too good for you! I don't want to see you dead, I want to see you ROT!~."

I'm bringing this up because this person was part of our Winterfest when it first started back in the year of 5112. This person was our very first Frost Queen. Her name is Bellaja. She has recently passed through the gates of Lorminstra. I am sure she is watching down on us right now. She took her role as Frost Queen with delight. She made everyone smile and laugh. She even took me aside and gave me ideas for future Winterfests. Thank you Bellaja for being our first Frost Queen and continuing the inspiration 11 plus years later."

The room holds a very strong scent of chocolate.  You also see a black velvet wing-back chair and a door.

Councilor Office

[Moot Hall, Council Chamber - 31425] (u336310)
A rich merlot carpet stretches from end to end of this large, spacious chamber, which is aglow from the sunlight shining in through several arched windows along an entire wall.

[Moot Hall, Saraphenia's Office - ] (u336849)
Royal blue wallpaper embossed with gold warcats over silver dragonflies and cherry red leaves rings a cozy room with a window, inviting light toward a black mahogany floor partly covered by an oval rug.  A pink heart-shaped desk rests at one end of the room, flanked by an ivory wing-backed chair on one side and two scarlet armchairs on the other.  At the far end, a couch striped in scarlet and ivory stands adjacent to a coffee table sporting refreshments and a candy dish.  You also see a polished black mahogany door emblazoned with a silver dragonfly.

>l desk
A polished ivory nameplate occupies the center of the heart-shaped desk, bearing the name "Councilor Saraphenia Autumnwind" in thick black ink with flourished ends on most of the lettering.  Quills and inkpots flank it while stacks of paper pile high but neat at the desk's edges.

>l chair
Looking at once inviting and impressive with its plush cushions and generously padded armrests, the wing-backed chair stands sentry behind the office's main desk, ready to serve its town official through thick and thin.

>l armchair
Soft and simple in design, a pair of cushioned scarlet chairs awaits visitors in front of the councilor's desk for casual or complex conversations alike.

>l couch
Wide stripes of vivid scarlet and ivory hues run the length of the couch, drawing attention and showcasing it as a prominent piece of the office.  

>l table
An assortment of food and drink rests atop the glossy surface of the refreshment table, spread across the middle with a generous distance between each item.  A fanciful heart-shaped candy dish accompanies the rest as a centerpiece, brimming with treats in a somewhat scattered look.

>l on table
On the coffee table:
Food/Drink [5]: a piece of dragonfly-shaped dark chocolate, a slender glass of Faendryl red wine, a slice of frosted dark chocolate cake, a leaf-shaped macadamia nut cookie, a flaky loaf of cheese bread
