[ oh wow anise is so good at conversation... delicately sips the tea
... it's cold ]
I'm afraid not. Most of my time is taken up with military and administrative work. [ seems a little embarrassed ] Though in the last couple months I have tried to cultivate a small garden.
[ ... ]
That said, I feel as though I know very little of you, Mistress Anise. What is it that you were doing prior to arriving here? Are you and Sir Guy related in some manner?
The Fon Master is the supreme leader of the Order of Lorelei. And since it's a theocracy, that makes him the leader of both the country and the religion.
They're usually young girls, though I'm the youngest by a couple years. We go through military training and all, but the position is like, mostly secretary work and ceremonial stuff.
[ young girls... fascinating. are there even any women in sanbreque or is it just old white men... ]
Indeed. My country is the Holy Empire of Sanbreque where the church and government are one. The Emperor is further considered to be the incarnation of the Goddess Greagor.
Though in truth he acts little in matters of religion. [ he lifts his shoulders ] So perhaps we are not as devout as your Order.

We're friends! I met Guy on the road while I was accompanying the Fon Master on a really important diplomatic mission.

There is something else I must do first. But after that... we shall have to see. [ ... anyway, ] How is your tea?
