Mhel's musings - 4

What strange turns life can take! Only a few days past, I was convinced that I would remain alone for the rest of my life and now suddenly I am the subject of interest for a very handsome and charming man. It is surprising and flattering, to say the least, although I continue to have my reservations. He has spoken, on several occasions, on how he spends much time away from home, has two young children, how he is damaged goods and so on. He tells me these things mean that no woman would want him, and perhaps there are many out there who would be put off by that. Not I, however. Rather, my reservations stem from my knowledge of his reputation as a shameless flatter, incorrigable flirt and my own misgivings about myself. Have I not been hurt enough in the past? Have not men become bored of my conservative ways and strict adherance to morals? Have they not become bored of me? What makes Lord Khyron any different? All the same, he has invited me to dinner and I have accepted. Plus, we are to attend a party together. I spoke to Flannery earlier. It turns out that she is as charming as she is beautiful! We had a nice long talk and I found that I really rather like her. It would seem that Yarassi's birthday is swiftly approaching and she has been kind enough to invite me, seeing as she knows me to be a friend of his. I must say that I am looking forward to it. I will, however, need to find an appropriate present for him, which will need much careful thought. In other news, it would seem that my little dragon hand-puppet went down a treat with Lord Khyrons two little ones, for which I am glad! I am working on the rest of the set between my other duties.
