Courtiers
(it is impossible to summarize all thoughts about someone in a single sentence)
Petrus | "A little reserved, for his 'reasons' and such. At the very least, I can appreciate the thought of running away..."
Olivier | "Feathered arms! Very alluring, almost like a peacock. She's treated me kindly enough so far, if not with no small amount of distance."
Maliketh | "It seems his knightliness was true... Yet, his obvious downfalls are quite clear... Did you hear the way he spoke about 'fixing her'...? Preposterous."
Konrad | "...A complicated fellow. An astute student of political intrigue, skilled blademaster, and apt physician yet. However, I find his penchant for staying out from centre-stage rather hypocritical. He'll certainly be within the middle of this all whether he wants it or not. I'll be glad to have him there when the time comes."
Rott | "I'm continually astounded at the expertise he shows... He forged that blade in naught but five minutes. How is such a thing possible? Mastery of the forge, or un-mortal cursecraft?"
Edgard | "A prime murder suspect, there is a sinister glint behind the honeyed words and sultry sweetness behind his eyes. A wolf. Granted, it is mostly inconsequential. At least until I get my face butchered off."
Marguerite | "A thorny rose for certain, Marguerite has been a lovely companion thus far. And... An apt business partner. I should hope it picks up soon... Both the business, and our companionship."
Letters | "There are reasons to protect the Spire. Not just exploit it."
Cecillia | "I'm glad my suspicions were proven wrong. At the very least, she seems like a peer in a world of opposites - It seems like she's used to getting a bad rap."
Myra | "Touched by Dawn and Dusk... I only hope she's doing well where she is now. Certainly on a mission of some sorts."
Morgan | "A capable warrior, and gentle heart, I wish you'll come back safely. Your presence is missed dearly."
Senia | "The poor girl seems to be a victim of her own naivete, as well as a lack of confidence."
Jack | "Loud, brash, and conspiring. Like many traders back in Valkia. I don't hold it against him."
Breslyn | "...An ambitious drunk. He's bound to get himself killed sooner or later the way he bounds about."
Adrian | "One within the quartet of mystery. He doesn't seem much like a Vulture to me; Out of the four, he's certainly the most knightly. At least he keeps his armor well, as of late..."
Merrily | "The second of the Vultures... Came with Adrian. At the very least - I like his helmet a tad bit better than the latter's. Is he older, I wonder? Sworn off of adventuring. How boring!"
Summers | "Vulture three; An older gentleman, it's nice to see a Nua Sidhe that isn't fresh out from their mother's womb... I should only hope he's done a bit more than hitting sheep with sticks. At least he seems capable enough."
Parsnip | "The Jester of the Vultures, number four. Layers within layers. Or am I prone to overthinking? He hides his snaggletooth well. I should hope not to come on the wrong side of it again. One day I'll best him in prose... One very distant day."
Miko | "A blooming flower. I can't believe they've roped me in so quickly, it's shameful on my part... Although they certainly know how to host a good 'date'. And here I thought they were only for eating."
Yuna | "The councilor-to-be, and one of the upstarts. I wish I had been in attendance - I hope she doesn't hold it against me. But doing this violently will not work. I only wish she might move her pieces slower..."
Helara | "The Scion of Clan Umeneri. She's a double-edged blade, though it was a mistake for me to chip it. I got careless in both speech and heft... I can tell she's got an ire for me."
Argenta | "Quite close with the Scion. She's a lovely bard, and gladly doesn't hold quite as much of a grudge as the former... I should only hope she lauds me in her songs.
Siona | "Another doctor, she's particularly skilled with her magicks. It's something I'm fascinated by. And... I hope she's able to keep her vow. It's a special thing."
Cullen | "Another adventurer. What should I say? He could use an outfit change, that's for certain."
Iskvandar | "The twin. He's just as sharp as his sister, if not sharper; I find it endlessly enjoyable to watch him speak. Dare I think of him as a snake in the grass? Reptiles aren't so bad once you get to know them.
Veena | "...She's a bit of a wild card. Drawing swords on children and knights alike, she certainly has a chaotic spark. That sort of thing can be useful... But those teeth."
Anwar | "He's quite pretty, isn't he? Runs the tea shoppe. Those cakes... I must find that baker. I should hope to meet him again; I feel as if anyone picks up whispers, it is he."
Selene | "The doctor witch. Witch doctor. Her hat is impressive, though she has that spark of instability. It seems to run rampant here. Does the Spire draw shattered souls to it's base?"
Ink | "Ha, her? She's solid on the outside, but soft on the inside. However... She continues to prove herself as a valuable asset to the town. I suspect her greatest strength lies within her determination and will... I should hope to see it fighting along side her to make this place better. I... certainly admire parts of the woman."
Drenmir | "A chained blade to hold us together. He's an imposing sort... I'd not want to have him against me, you know? The type to fuel the fire within our hearts at a dark moment. That sort of person is invaluable."
Hikaru | "She's like a tabby that's clawed out. Oh, sort of like Ripper. Hah. I'm sure she has a soft underbelly... Somewhere."
Eithna | "Lady Primriver... At the very least, I hope not to insult her. Such could have disastrous consequences back home... Not that it'd make things any worse than they already are."
Raime | "The knight to be. Who knows where his master really is. Probably left his squire to die... I wonder if Raime shall let himself fall to fate, or pull taught his own string?"
Cadayle | "She is... loud? And boisterous. Yes, those are two true facts about her."
