The Fifth - [ written ]
July the first,
It has been suggested to me that I might find myself happier here if I were to engage in further enterprise than I have so far made it my business to do. [Which... She'll grant the wisdom in the suggestion at this point. She has no house to run, and keeping the rooms tidy and her and her brother fed keep her busy but not interested.] I have an arrangement with one individual here [she's trying to be very formal, so she shies away from mentioning Richard by name] regarding sewing and repairing articles of clothing in exchange for what he can part with. [Or the promise of future goods.] Firewood and produce, mostly. I should be happy to extend my offer to others for similar terms.
If this service is unnecessary, I apologise for having troubled the good people of Luceti with this.
I thank you all for your time,
Faith Long

You may write my name, should you want to. [ unless, he suddenly realizes, she truly doesn't want to. perhaps she's ashamed of the association. ]

That won't do. At all.]
I very much am, Richard.

[ he'd once been to a strange and baffling picnic -- some french convention enjoyed by the marquesa and her suitors. it seems well adapted to luceti, and he thought he might first announce his courtship with a quiet chat. outside. nothing formal. bloody hell, he couldn't do formal. ]

That sounds delightful, Richard.

I guess I'm very open to negotiation, really.

Currently I'm a bartender, working at Seventh Heaven. I've also dabbled in construction. Stories have been told about the house that I built. I've a strong back, too. Stronger than most. But I'd like to know what you would offer in turn.
Jack Horner.

But, no. That's quite an elaborate project. Faith knows she doesn't have anything to offer that could rival that.]
I'm afraid that my practical skills [after all, music, dance, and management skills -- she had been taught to run a household staff, after all -- seem to have very little application for goods here] are limited to cooking and sewing. If you're in need of mending or new clothes, perhaps small pieces of furniture might be in exchange, depending on the size of the task?

[It was a common look around Luceti. But certainly he might strike a better image if the backs of his shirts didn't look so sloppily cut open.]

Even if it still seems far too intimate for her. She is trying to adapt herself.]
I could cook for you, certainly. Perhaps a meal or two and a few shirts stitched up might be sufficient for an easel? I was fortunate enough to find one in the shops after I arrived, but I should like another.
[And, well, in her mind... if he can build a house, he can manage the carpentry to make an easel.]
written
But he was Jack Horner. He figured that this should be easy for him.]
You're an artist? That sounds like a fair trade. It shouldn't take me long at all.
written
If you'd like, I can see to picking up some of the shirts you'd like stitching on so I can work on those.
written
I'll put some together for you. [Time for his ace in the hole:] I'd have to see to Clementine, first.
written
[And, well. Because the note does deserve attention:] Who's Clementine?
