Diplomacy smells like ass

So, today I decided to try and be more concilliatory to people and try to get along better. Fat lot of good that did! Take it from me, the Chosen of Mystra: If you don't get along with someone cuz they're a jerk, they're not going to stop being a jerk if you try to be nice to them.

First off I sort of slept in today to try to settle things with Athena. I feigned being asleep after stuffing all sorts of wands under my blankets. The only problem was I ended up waiting for her for so long that I got bored and fell asleep. Next thing I knew she'd pounced on me and the wands all fell out. She took them all away (shes awful for stealing my toys) and then tickled me a bit.

Marmar came up to save me after a bit, or so I thought, but instead she just accepted Athena's offer to teach her this horrible bathing spell my mom invented. We fought for a bit longer and I ended up telling Mar and Athena about the situation with Ali, which got me scolded for interfering as usual, though Athena has agreed to participate in some of my plots.

After that I went up to the hall and found Braith. She and I never have gotten along. She's like some big burly armory general who likees the rules and I'm a thin scrawny roby mage who dosn't like rules at all. But I tried to be civilized. I asked if she wanted anything and even moved out of the throne which I'd been laying in. She wasn unimpressed.

Eventually she just started being mean talking about how much of a brat I am and the usual and threatening to spank my butt with her sword and have the maids put me in diapers and so on and so forth. I accepted her offer to put me in the dungeons since I needed practice with my escapism, but I've never really learned to escape a spanking so I passed on that bit. Ouch...

Eventually she tired of being mean to me cuz Delithri arrived, he's a really interesting elven mage and definately not as haughty as most of them seem to be at times, I kinda like him. We talked about security matters for a bit until I noticed a young half drow nearby. She looked like a wayward exile or perhaps an Elistraeean, and I think she was a half breed, but when she gave her name as Navere my ears perked up.

Turned out she was Elora, Gia's daughter and she was really nice. I think she was kinder to me than Valkryn, but then who wouldnt be, especially since he's her stepfather. I recall she was mentioned as being a mage so perhaps I'll have to exchange spells with her sometime.

Valkryn appeared after a bit to check on her and once more I tried my best to be nice, but he just continued to be his usual arrogant self "bla bla bla you know nothing" Even when Siona came around he was still being a jerk and she even glared at him for it. Siona and I are getting along better now aand IU think it's partly cuz shes trying to be good.

She told me she wants Amara Barimen to remove the curse she put on her so she can make some decisions, though I have no idea what that means. I told her Amara probably would since she's been taking such good care of Marquie, but then as soon as I thought she was being good she went and told me she'd kept Ivan locked in his room in Navere for a day or two and that he might be getting hungry! Gah! I hgave her some cookies to take to him so the poor guy would have some nourishment and then scurried off to the town.

I thought I'd felt an odd feeling coming from Mar and wanted to investigate but instead I just found Carey. She did the fire to my butt thing and so I tacked her into a trough of water. We talked for a bit after I helped her out and she threatened to sell me to Braith when she heard what was said, which really wouldnt be awful given my previosuly mentioned escape tactics. After that I laughed while Carey drug ten tons of soaking wet armor and cloth into the inn to get changed. I knew once she was dry she'd be able to chase me down so I beat a hasty retreat to my bed. I'd need a bit of rest to find out what was bugging Mar and start my mischief in Navere.
