Guy/Relationships

Family
 * Duchesse de Eisande Angevin Mereliot - My elder sister, my Duchesse. We are different, yet similiar. We are both cut from the Mereliot cloth, both of Eisheth's blood, and out goals are the same. Yet our paths from these same starts to the same finish have ever been different, and likely ever will be. It does not matter. She has my love, as I have hers, and she will ever have my support and service, and my council for as long as she wishes to have it.


 * Dauphine of Terre d'Ange Liana de la Courcel - My niece, my Dauphine. It has been too long since we have seen each other. Soon enough we shall reunite, and I shall get to know you anew. One day you will rule this realm, though as this will mean the death of your father, know that I hope this happens long after I am dead and gone. Regardless, just as your father has risen to the occasion and become a fine King, I have no doubt that one day, you shall be a fine Queen.


 * Prince of Terre d'Ange Lysander de la Courcel - My nephew, my Prince. It has been too long since we have seen each other. Soon enough we shall reunite, and I shall get to know you anew. One day your sister will rule, and she will need someone to support her more then all the rest. There has never been any doubt that this role was meant for you. Few know the tolls of such a burden, and few care to see the true rewards. They see only the trappings. I hope that I can offer what little experience I have, nephew. Regardless, I do not doubt that you will meet the challenge with the same courage, strength, and will that your mother showed in life.


 * Prince of Terre d'Ange Gustav de la Courcel - My little nephew, my little Prince. It has been too long since we have seen each other. Soon enough we shall reunite, and I shall get to know you anew.  Your father tells me you yearn for war. If this truly be your calling, rather then just the fanciful dreamings of a child, I will impart what knowledge I can to you. One day, your sister will require a general she can depend on, who is above the politics of the realm, who she can trust implicitly. If you would take this role, then I will support you, for I do not doubt your capability. You merely require time, patience, and experience.


 * Courtesan Elodie Mereliot no Eglantine - My niece, my sister's second daughter. It has been too long since we have seen each other. Soon enough we shall reunite, and I shall get to know you anew. There is great pride in being a servant of Naamah, and Eglantine is a natural fit for someone of Eisheth's bloodline. I hope you find happiness in your calling.

Nearly Family
 * King of Terre d'Ange Augustine de la Courcel - My best friend and brother by marriage, my King. Oh, Augustine, what times we have known. We were children when we first met, and we have seen the world change around us. We have changed too, and yet I now know that at heart, there are pieces of us who are the same young men that we once were, and ever will be. And now, my friend, you are King. Though you have absolved me of the sin, I still feel guilt for not aiding you in your bearing of this new, heavy burden sooner. Yet I am here now, and will do all you ask of me. You will always be my friend, my brother, my prince, and now my King.


 * Duchesse de l'Agnace Aiobvel Somerville - My niece by marriage, my once student. It has been too long since we have seen each other. Soon enough we shall reunite, and I shall get to know you anew.  Part of me fears our reunion, for the scent of the Somerville will always remind me of my two Genevieves. Yet I know they would want me to be there for you, as I can. I hope all I taught you will serve you well, and that I might be afforded the opportunity to teach you more important things then just the sword.


 * Duchesse de Azzalle Bianca l'Envers de Trevalion - My adopted niece, my little traveler. It has been too long since we have seen each other. You called me uncle, I called you niece. And in every way but blood and law, I like to think this is true. You have ever been a good friend to Liana, and for that alone I would love you. But I enjoyed hearing of the places you visited, and the way you see the world. I look forward to hearing the new tales you must have for me.

Companions
 * Adept Serena no Balm - My contracted companion, my sweet healer. You are to be my soothing balm, to ease my pain of loss and make me whole. At times you are just that, at others you cause me to relive the pain and grief that I only now feel ready to recover from. You are an enigma to me, and for every answer I discover about you, ten more questions unfold before me.

The Lost
 * Comtesse de Florac Genevieve Somerville de Mereliot - My late wife, my late love. Oh, my sweet Gen, I still miss you. I have never been one for regret, yet recently, that is all I seem to have. That I could have been blind to what we could share for so long. We had far too few years together as lovers, for all our years as husband and wife. More then that, I feel that I have betrayed you, in letting our sweet girl, our Genevieve, pass into Blessed Elua's arms. I know she is at peace, as she never was in life, and that finally the two of you can be together. I try to take solace in that, yet thus far, it has not been enough to eclipse my grief.


 * Viscomtesse de Besseges Genevieve Mereliot - My miracle child, my fragile flower, my broken heart. The second Genevieve I have lost, you are also the greatest loss I have ever suffered. There are not words enough in all the languages I know, nor the ones I do not I think, to describe the hole you have left in my life. No parent should ever have to bury his child, and no child should have to pass from this world before getting to truly experience the joys it can offer. I know you are with your mother, with Blessed Elua, and that one day I shall be reunited with you. I know also that you would want me to keep living for you, and so I will try. For you, my flower. Always and forever.
