Falling for the Duchess

As agreed during the Maypole Dance ceremony, I visited Lady Cliodhana the night before the Summer Solstice to talk about our 'relationship'. She'll be visiting the Empire State Building on the 30th (Session 153). Lady Cliodhana came by, but she seems like she's no longer interested in having the prince involved, finding her boring. Perhaps that is for the best though (Session 154).

The Duchess of Fall was looking for me, inquiring for Princess Luine at the LARP play (Session 159). I visited her, and acted as her ornament to be shown off. I'm sure there was more to it than that, but if there was, I didn't get it. She had an ulterior motive however and took some time to humiliate me, and I agreed to be her autumn decoration in fall, though she left me in tears when I realized I wasn't really good enough (Session 160).

I visited the Duchess again as agreed and she had a beautiful autumn gown for me. It is really pretty, if somewhat gravity defying, and she let met take it home. I'll cherish it of course, even if I think some of the pieces disappeared on the trip. She also gave me some fairy blood in a box, for a special occasion (Session 163)

Presence

Tamara kindly agreed to help me gain a bit more presence, teaching me some tricks of the trade (Session 152). We've been spending a lot of time together and she even helped me pick up some additional trainings (Session 154).

Celtic Tribe

I freed a Celtic Tribe from the claws of Lady Cleodhana who wasn't treating them well, I think. Now I have 400 Celts. Yay? The Nightmare queen kindly agreed to let them return home though (Session 153). I got an outfit to help out a bit better. With new confidence, I've arranged for the Celts to return home to their own time swiftly, striking a deal with Lady Arethusa to do her a favour in the future, no questions asked.

Isaac seems to have taken the Celtic incident to heart though and is looking for an excuse to visit London (Session 154).

Female Territory

I promised Isaac I'd talk to Lydia de Witte on behalf of Penny Leonora Garfield as she is seeking to get some territory in Brooklyn (Session 143).

Dwayne asked me about the Baroness of Queens and sending her on a vacation which got a lot more questionable looks than I was entirely comfortable with, though I agreed to try to help him as it also seems to involve the Fey (Session 147).

I went to the Baroness, but she was quite unpleasant, despite my best efforts. In either case, Dwayne is satisfied with the matter so I best leave it at that (Session 148).

I promised Isaac to talk to Lydia at the next open Elysium (Session 149) and she said she would talk to her husband.

I also arranged for Dwayne to visit the Baroness of Queens again as there seems to be some unfinished matters there, according to the Baroness (Session 150). He went with Carol to sort matters out (Session 151)

Lydia said she couldn't manage with her husband, so we'll have to find other arrangements (Session 152).

I managed to make some arrangements with the Prince, and put in some good words for the Baron of Brooklyn (Session 159). After giving a show, the Prince agreed to talk to the Baron about Penny getting a bit of territory and Lydia was very kind to visit and talk about it with me (Session 160).

I informed Isaac about the resolution (Session 161) but the matter seems to have a tail as Penny asked me for advise on how to handle matters further (Session 162), and with Carol's help I think I gave good advise. Lydia also seems to be spending more time at court with the prince so I think it will all be well (Session 164).
