Dear Alli,

Tonight was so much more light-hearted than the past one was. True to my word, I have been about the lands more often than in the past few months, and opened up the tavern. Granted, it was not exactly in the best of shape after having been closed for over a month, but that couldn't stop me!

That first night I really did not clean too much. I had just gotten in and found myself a drink when Commander Brier came in. She was fairly quiet, as usual, but of course polite. It was nice for once to have some time alone with her, giving me the chance to get to know her.

Seems she had been having a bit of memory loss lately, besides being prone to sleep shopping. Now, for my records, I suppose I should describe Brier a bit, at least as I see her through my eyes. She is a very well-brought up young lady, I believe at the age of eighteen years currently. Now, of course, I really have not asked her too many questions of her past, but this is all from my people watching of her. She seems timid at times, mainly when events around her are not following the proper protocol of the wealthy. But even with all of that, she has a very kind heart. Always covering the skin of her body that should not be exposed with long, elegant dresses, and blushing at even a word of bedroom activities. Brier in a nutshell.

Anyways, on with the story, so it seems that she had gone out shopping and purchased this devilish outfit that she claimed was a bit too large in the chest area for someone such as herself. Now, I can't exactly say that I'm a whole lot bigger than Brier is, but I have ways to make my chest appear larger than what it actually is. (Brier of course was shocked when I told her all the sorts of bras and that she should just wear one of them with the outfit.)

I am still not entirely sure what she did with the outfit, but we wisked off to the lands belonging to the Guardians of Destruction, the guild run by her brother. Having never met any of her family, I quite joyously went along, but he was not there. A few others were, however, namely a man named Mata, as he was introduced to me as. An interesting male, though quite like all the rest.

Brier and I talked more as I got her to drink something alcoholic (amaretto with some orange juice, something light to start her with). We ended up on the subject of hobbies and from there I learned that she knew ballet since she was five years old. This fascinated me as ballet was one type of dancing I really have never been exposed to.

With a happy heart, I offered my services to Brier, in return for her own. So shortly she and I will be teaching each other dances - her teaching me ballet, and I teaching her a few forms of dirty dancing.

By My Hand,
Brianne A. Alcinoos
