Arabella, could you tell us more about your Mistress?
Arabella: sure, my mistress, mistress Roxanna, is a chronicler. She's kinda of an intimidating woman, though in this world it's what you need to survive, but I see that sharp exterior she is kind and fair. Compared to anyone I could of had as a master.... She's the best I could I had and I wouldn't replace her for the world. We don't share a master and dancer relationship we are more alike friends than anything, we both struggled to get to where we were today. I mean we started out with not alot of money she had used all her savings to purchase me, it was a gamble. A risk, but one she was willing to take.
She owned a dancing studio in some smaller city, was a failing business unfortunately, though that's when she decided to purchase me and looked more into Mudokon ballet. Playing more with what was popular amongst the upper classes, playing into their interests but somehow standing out from it. I'm not exactly your typical Mudokon dancer, I don't particularly fit the usual beauty standard within the industry, but that's exactly why Roxanna chose me. Also because she thought I was rather pretty, she thought I was beautiful.
But yeah we started working together to work out way up the ladder slowly building a work force as we went, till we had basically the whole company or business I guess we have today. We travel around doing shows, along with hosting shows for other in our own airship. Some folk rent our halls out for various reasons too, so we make mulah in a couple different ways now. So mistress Roxanna is I suppose also the owner of Devine Defy, or something just refer to the business as The Devine usually that's how they refer to the AirShip though.
Roxanna treats all of us as equals regardless of what we are, the environment on the airship is... Different from the outside world. Sometimes it can give me whiplash to see how different things are from my now home, but I'm thankful we have a community on the airship. One in which we all thrive and it's thanks to Roxanna, delight of a woman... Though I wouldn't want to get on her bad side. She's roughed some folk up pretty bad and I'm sure she would happily do it again. She keeps those nails sharpened for a reason.
( ps the sketch in the ref the dialogue is
Roxanna: I really shouldn't endorse this darling
She's kinda just scolding him slightly for smoking especially from her own cigarette holder, also Ian is a name Arabella goes by.)
