"Very happy to bring Lady Ameline to the stage now for another wonderful story."

Ameline Valtin smiles and comes forward. She clears her throat, "A simple bit of prose I have prepared for present company: " She pauses before projecting her voice.
♥ "My companion's lips are oft to mutter bitter spite and vitriol"
♥ "Punctuated by the scant musings of the melancholy and dour."
♥ "What is said at my own expense is a heavy burden on my soul;"
♥ "Affections clandestine - an unforgiving fortress protecting a crimson tower."
♥♥"..."♥♥
♥ "Scant is this companion to sing to me, that voice of endless rapture;"
♥ "Wielding absence like an axe, nay - a hex: the remedy for such seemingly unknown;"
♥ "To ask for such and be denied - upon my heart it forms a fracture."
♥ "Expectations are abandoned to be graced with these melodic tones."
♥♥"..."♥♥
♥ "Oft I am asked in public forum to mutter approval for my companions form;"
♥ "And yet such words, for myself, are reserved for Eorzea's secret space."
♥ "I sometimes have a simple wonder - "Why do I continue to weather this tumultuous storm?""
♥ "I muse to myself, "If jilted once, nay twice, nay thrice - why press on for the Lover's embrace?""
Ameline pauses dramatically with a smile.
♥ "Alas, 'tis easy: To know the heart of another! And so I hearken to Her call;"
♥ "My friends, look past the faults of those you love! Menphina - cast your gaze upon us all!"
Ameline lets out a cheer!
The tall elezen makes a lovely bow, despite the fluffy coat.
