She’d been wrapped up in herself for so long. A year ago she held every hope of receiving good word from the war and slipping back into the relationship she’d breakneck fallen into. Months of nothing but bad news sealed her fears and then the days ran together and she’d been floating outside of herself ever since. Cutting her hair short and a fresh dye wouldn't bring back the dead, but it would aid her in ridding the memory of the person she was when they were still alive. All of them. In the past she'd quietly imagine her hair growing long, but mourning seemed to be a constant part of her life, and the dream became so foolish to consider.

The new apartment helped. Reinventing herself became a passion once again and she was somewhere between wanting and having it. The good company of Lady Sunblade and the success of business gave her a fulfillment that she hadn’t thought herself capable of any longer. The new wedding clients and Crescent’s constant sink of her time sufficiently kept her life on track with deadlines and demands. In the dark of night she came home to the curling smoke of her own cigarettes and a haunting hymn he’d taken to singing. Her claw foot tub had become solace for another soul now. He was drowning in rum and she let him. This was a state far worse than the bad decisions haunting him. She ran the risk of upsetting well paying clients, and he ran the risk of growing too fond of her lenient company.  He was allowed to stay in the space previously only occupied by Shanaal, but those times spent with the Lady Sunblade had become scarce due to work and circumstance, or maybe the lady no longer... - she wouldn't dwell on it. His visits hadn't been on the itinerary. Nowhere in the entire fifty page detail of the events to come did it make room for the Groom to take shelter in the quiet shadows of her apartment. Still, it was her every intention to smooth over any complication that would prevent her team from getting their payout. She’d been wrapped up in herself for so long. There was a sweet relief to be sorting someone else’s fucked issues.

HOT DAMN... for all the nerds.

………….. we have too many nerds, sir. Westly“Kala is a happy little critter. Strong urge to feed her things, I don’t. Know. Why. Well traveled that’s appealing. Cute face - her grin is sometimes too much to look at and still act appropriate in response. The harness. Someone needs to talk to her about it. Sometimes is okay? As a joke is good too, yes. All the time? Darling, no. There are an array of far better cuts with similar cleavage to choose from. Perhaps it is a money thing. Maybe I’ll send her some.”“I could run around with Reanai, even though we never do or really have. But I know I could. That’s appealing. He’s witty and handsome so that adds to the attraction.”“Lady Sunblade is okay.”TesaKala: “Kala needs someone to tell her to wear more than that harness and it damn well will be me. She’ssoftandkindheartedandIdontdeservehercontinuedfriendshipdontleave.”Reanai: “Who?”Sunblade: “KALA SHE LOOKED MY WAY I CAN’T FEEL MY BODY? DID SHE PARALYZE ME “mistahreanai

If Westly could trade all of her work with Crescent, all of her progress for nobility, security and peace, would she?

This is hella late, but thank you for the question! It is an interesting theme that comes up in RP often!Most recently with her involvement in the Firestorm X Netherstar wedding and her extended friendship with Shanaal, it confirms her feelings on her class. Nobility represents constraints and the inability to be anonymous when needed. It’s rules and expectations. She’s prided herself in scraping the bottom most her life and working her way to where she feels financially stable on her own terms. In many ways she feels sorry for those who don’t have a choice due to their family ties. So she tries to see the positive in being pretty insignificant. She still does well to better herself educationally and skill-wise, priding herself just as smart as some nobles she’s met.mentions:mistahreanaimithaforever-afk
