it's refreshing seeing a violet treat me kindly. the few i've met who've sailed into the local hive community's port have been nasty with me, about "throwing away my life"
⦓ They sound like rather miserable people indeed. Best you don't take their words to pusher, people like that will always find a reason to be bitter to anyone they don't immediately click with. ⦔
the one that does treat me nice occasionally sends representatives for his mercantile guild, wanting me to step up and back his cause, like my word holds any weight. at the very least they send nice gifts each time.
⦓ Ah, the ulterior motives... Well, it's certainly better than nothing! I'm sorry to hear that it has been a difficult and lonely experience. The interpolitical struggles of seadwellers are... Well, it's nice to not be in that battlefield anymore these days, as interesting as it was on a social level at times... ⦔
i'll take the rudeness and ulterior motives over the few heiresses who've found their way to my marsh. i let the saltscale beasts eat them.
⦓ Respectable. It's what must be done sometimes. One must protect what they have, no? ⦔
