Things My Male Tech Colleagues Have Actually Said to Me, Annotated
If your pain sounds pretty, it doesn’t seem so bad. If you use beautiful words to describe your sadness, people may line up around the block to read it. See it. Hear it. Fall in love with it. If people don’t know better, they might think they want it.
Send me ⊗ for 3+ headcanons about your muse and mine.
[hair]
(( Adri’s hair is still enjoying the benefits of having been professionally styled. The layering is quite good, and it suits the natural fineness of her hair’s texture nicely. She keeps it nice and clean, and all the former dyes have finally washed out of it, so it’s back to being so blonde it’s white. Of course, that fineness means it does tend to get a bit of static when she’s not careful, and it blows in the wind, so she’s had to trim it back from her face a bit. She’s learning what a pain longer hair can be to take care of, though, so having it tumbling around her shoulders is probably not going to last. ))
Stretching Thinner
Sitting on her blankets on the floor of her garret, Adriwyn pulled the lap-desk she’d bought over her legs, and arranged its little workspace to her liking. She composed her thoughts for a few moments, and finally started writing. This time, she used her left hand. It look longer to avoid smearing the ink, but the quality of her calligraphy was better this way.
Dear Lady Renita,
I hope this letter finds you doing well. Of course, since you barely know me, I’m sure you’re wondering why I’m writing at all. I can only hope that knowing me as one of the Roses and as a donor puts you in some mind to consider the offer I’m about to write out.
It has occurred to me that you may be needing additional assistance for a while, especially in regards your support for Kryta’s veterans. I am offering my services as an assistant in such regards, to the extent that I can make the time for such, or for that matter, that our slight acquaintance will allow you to consider.
Yours,
Adriwyn JardinAfter leaving the ink to dry sufficiently on the page, she placed into an envelope and sealed it. Of course the seal wasn’t registered, nor would it be familiar even if it had been, but it would still serve the purpose. After a brief inner argument, rather than simply handing the letter off to a raven, she donned her coat and went out to purchase a single pink carnation. After affixing that to the envelope, she paid a courier to deliver the note and flower to the Cartwright home.
(( @renniecartwright ))
Renita gave a simple nod to the courier, thanking him for the delivery and raising an eyebrow. Pink carnation and a letter. Moving over to the living room, she opened it up as her eyes read the letter as a wave of relief swept over her. Like the Six had answered her prayers, someone who could actually help with running things for the charity while Renita was busy with the baby. Furthermore, someone who might actually not be afraid of doing some public speaking, but she wasn’t going to hedge her bets on it. Making her way carefully up the stairs, she went up to her office, getting out her stationary and writing a response:
Dear Miss Jardin,
I am doing well as to be expected. Your offer is interesting enough but I think we should discuss such matters in person. How about you come over to the estate tonight for dinner and to discuss ways you can help? Let me know if you have any preferences in terms of food and I shall see you tonight.
Sincerely,
Lady Renita Olivia Cartwright
Trying to hold back a squeal of excitement, she sends out the letter gleefully as she rushes off to tell Cameron. Finally, she didn’t have to worry so much about her charity while preparing for the child to appear in the world.
After reading the letter and pondering for a moment how best to answer it, the small blonde quickly wrote back.
Dear Lady Renita,
Thank you for the invitation. That sounds marvellous. I try not to be picky about food, but I am allergic to apples and do milk, and try to avoid sweets. I hope that isn’t too much of a difficulty.
Yours,
Adriwyn Jardin
