this just in, on whatever day is the va.listhea equivalent of valentines day it used to be a thing where d.ion would receive a ton of letters and gifts and the palace would be nigh overrun because he-llo, dominant of ba.hamut plus he looks like THAT and is the prince of s.anbreque, you know he had all the suitresses from all the families (and a few suitors too, shooting their shot). it got so bad - he felt so bad for the staff and dragoons who had to deal with them (and d.ion had no time to adequately respond to them all which just made it worse) - that he made an official announcement regarding it. if people wished to show such affection to him, they could do so by sending funds, provisions and offerings to the church of g.reagor to be used to feed, clothe and house the less-fortunate. while this didn't stop the gifts entirely, it did mitigate most of them. unfortunately, this only made the people all the fonder of their prince, so pious was he, and that meant more letters.

right so I've had an absolute time at work, it's been exhaustively busy but it's paid off cause my bosses ganged up on me all at once in the office all excited to throw me into a new client and project in a few weeks which is - amazing and I'm so stoked but also oh. my god. i'm gonna be up to my ears in compliance and legislation and governance and paperwork (and I'm happy about it) - we just had the meeting and it's daunting as fuck to try and do this in four fucking months but hey, that's my industry for you.

@huckberries pointed out a thing and i can't unsee it so have this
