Oh hell yeah! Lore is the best.
Anyway I’ve been thinking about Jaisphae and honestly? Even if I cant romance her I love her. I can’t get this idea of like, her journaling and documenting everything and so…
Journal of Lady Jaisphae Asimina
7:15 A.M.
Waiting in pavilion to meet the princess with her two other ladies in waitings. Began a casual inquiry to gauge their relationship to her.
Lady Iseriah has no connection.
Lady Kaedra has known since childhood.
I asked her if the princess was high maintenance.
Laughed so hard she nearly fell into the water, only saved by latching onto Lady Iseriah.
Noted for further observation.
7:20 A.M.
Almost mistook princess for high ranking servant
Only wearing white dress, no accents.
Blushed when she saw us and asked if she was underdressed, then immedietly volunteered to go change. Lady Kaedra had to talk her down for three minutes.
Lady Iseriah seems taken by her.
Must be on guard. Could be wily act.
7:25 A.M.
Eating breakfast on pavilion.
She’s just eating plain toast and fruit and she’s cutting the fruit herself.
Drinking water out of earthward glass.
Lady Kaedra is calling her Rhysi or Miah, she seems comfortable with this.
Am suspicious that is not in fact princess and instead lady Kaedra is playing practical joke.
However, the servants (she only has two here) seem to expect this.
7:35 A.M.
She’s invited us to go with her for her daily schedule.
Taking walk in garden to aviary. A
Garden is well maintained
However, there are vegetables and fruit trees
I ventured to ask Princess Rhymiah and she insisted I just call her Rhymiah.
Says that she gardens there herself and that food tastes better when you do that.
Requires experimentation for confirmation of this.
She is very curious about my personal life and tastes.
I have informed her I like strawberries, and other things of little note.
Is she gathering this for future blackmail? Must stay vigilant.
7:45 A.M
All birds in her aviary are common.
She tells me that they are unable to survive on their own, which is why she owns them.
She owns three ducks, seven pigeons, and a Methinian bred goose.
Stayed far away from goose.
Am unsure of purpose of this.
Requires further investigation.
8:00 A.M.
Has returned to her suite
Very plain, in her bedroom there is only her bed, a desk, a couch, a rug, a bookshelf and a harp.
Sheinsists we sit down, Lady Kaedra seems to expect this.
Lady Iseriah seems thrilled by this as well.
Looked at her books. An impressive selection. She saw me looking and insisted I take a couple.
Possibly so she can call in a favor later.
However, they are very good quality so I agreed.
10:00 A.M
I was not aware someone could play the harp for 2 hours straight.
She is very skilled at it, however.
She coaxed Lady Iseriah into trying.
She is less skilled.
10:10 A.M.
Headed to royal library, will not deny excitement.
10:30 A.M.
I’ve died and gone to heaven.
She insists I take more books.
It would be rude to decline.
12:00 A.M.
Lunch. Bread cheese and meat stew.
She confides in us she has asked the cook to teach her to cook and she can make some dishes.
Once more considered the idea of an imposter, however the Queen arrived, kissed her cheek and called her darling so it is unlikely that is the case.
1:00 P.M.
She has suggested we go out riding and take some snacks.
She is fairly good at it
Brought bow and arrows to practice, suggested Lady Iseriah bring her sword.
Lady Iseriah is practically vibrating.
I got a horse named Bluebell. A good mount.
4:00 P.M.
Returned. Am covered with mud when Lady Iseriah got very enthusiastic about riding.
Although not her fault, she appears like she feels very guilty and insists we borrow her clothes.
She showed me her closet.
Was not aware there were this many white unembroidered dresses in Selanes.
7:00
Spent last three hours reading and documenting.
Rhymiah practiced music, read, and talked with us.
Came over to me and handed me small basket of strawberries.
7:30
Dinner with queen. Much more ornate then other meals.
They sat and discussed book, Rhymiah turned and asked me my opinion.
The Queen is different then I thought.
8:30
She went to bed. Had no servants bathe her, put on nightgown herself, wished us all goodnight.
11:00 P.M
Knock on door
Rhymiah there with Kaedra and Iseriah, asked if we wanted a midnight snack.
She showed us down to kitchen, heated up milk and cut up some peaches.
Found some more strawberries.
11:30
Brought us back.
Am not sure what’s going on.
