04. Patron's tea and dance

by Lady Leticia Scarlet-Bloesembhel Voetdhel-Montaneus

I FOUND THE BEST PLACE TO SETUP MY MANUSCRIPTS! The window faces the east and has a pretty view of the sky. When the light filters in it makes the gold DANCE. It's so pretty! Anyway only 1 person came... which upon reflection is totally my fault for setting it so far back in the building but she was interested in my illuminations! Although she said she'd have to think about it I might have a lead for a patron! I also brought a deck of greeting cards, many had the same type of general script/drawings from the manuscripts and pretty writing. A tiny walking brochure of what I can do. She took one of them as well! So even if she doesn't use my services maybe one of her friends will see the card and think of me/might hire me. Anyway I am pleased with my progress. Too much attention would be bad, a small amount should be fine. Our house is full of painters and sculptors, while we can write no one actually has taken professional scribal work. So I shouldn't stand out! I wish I could paint... I should learn. I can do basic water colors.... I'd like to make paintings like mom or sculpt fancy mugs like dad did...
 
Even Aunt's husband painted, his paintings were very pretty. Aunty can't draw or paint, but she plays the flute well... I miss home...
 
But if I pour myself into work I won't miss them so much! I think I should spend some time in the library to read manuscripts and get a feel for the writing styles here. We (me and my mentor) traveled through here briefly when I was a child... It was a very nomadic way of life. Settling down is very... odd. I'm antsy and feel like I should be on the go. I also haven't shifted as much as I normally do. When I have the time I shall visit the library and research the local animals. My mentor really only had me study the ones that would allow me the best fighting chance, the best at sneaking or going about unnoticed or quickest escape. They did tell me to study whatever I could whenever I could so was always looking at birds and beasts. I got really good at doodling them to help me retain their memory, shape, and movement. I hope I can watch more animals when I'm about.
