The city was effervescent with the Carthaginian siege, and I'd been working double shifts to give my time appeasing those who needed respite and came to the temple to pray. If the truth must be told, I'd not seen the Temple district this active in my short tenure in Anael's service.
I was myself nervous and thought of my brothers, some of whom had gone to war, others were staying on the estate, and had likely taken up arms at this point to defend what little they owned.
Ah, these were dark times, and I hoped to find solace in spending time with my friend in those few moments of quiet.
And so I'd asked Sebastien to meet my in the Artisan's district for a walk in an area which I'd once frequented quite a bit, seeing as I was contracted regularly for book-keeping and audit purposes in my time at Bryony. I'd not seen the McDermotts since I returned, and while I was dreading to find yet again that friends had passed in the plague, I couldn't delay any longer.
Besides, in those times of troubles, one finds solace in company.

I was thrilled to receive Shona’s invitation and showed up at the appointed meeting place with a happy smile.
“Shona!” I said, waving a little as I caught sight of her and made my way over. I gave her the kiss of greeting and then held out my hand to her, a small box in my palm. Inside was a little necklace I’d seen and got for her, and a pendant I’d made from a violet bloom dipped in paraffin. “For you.”

I smiled back and rejoined Sebastien, accepting the kiss of greeting happily. In his hand was a small box with a pendant, and I blushed and smiled, and felt myself color a little under the attention.
“Oh, Sebastien,” I said, pleased, “that's so kind of you, and so thoughtful!”
The pendant was discreet and appropriate even to my station, and I was very touched by his attention, particularly considering the harried nature of my week. “You are a blessing, truly.”

My smile grew at her positive reaction. “I am so glad you like it,” I told her happily. “I hoped you would. The violet is from the estate back home. A little piece of Eisande.”

“A little piece of Eisande,” I said, smiling, touched, and pleased. “Oh, Sebastien, you are most adorable, really. So thoughtful and charming. Have you broken any hearts yet?” I asked as I slipped my arm in his companionably.
