Engagement to a Crafter

Written by: Red Lioness, Nepenthe Askare, the Proud

Addressed to: Everyone


Never give less than the best ring
Thinking that you will fool her
She's an eye for excellent grade of stones
When you decide you wish to marry a jeweler

The stone must be delicate
And rare, like she that you're chasing
It's quality of rocks she's into
When you are dating a mason

Go ahead...give up on the ring, and just buy a fake flower
Get down on one knee (or go to the post office and mail her)
The bloom better be fine Jaziran silk
If she's also a tailor!

Okay, you're suspicious.
She's a crafting genius, how to please her?
Maybe a cheap, engraved isan vial?
But what if she's a metalwork dealer?

Oh Dis, this kind of sucks
Now you don't know what you're really after
Maybe some fancy new wooden chopine?
And hope she's not a woodcrafter?

You've reduced yourself to offering wooden shoes!
And now you're broke from a very odd shopping spree.
Just use some random rat you hunted in the city sewers
And hope she says 'yes' in the form of AGREE.

Penned by my hand on the 23rd of Bellum, in the year 582 AD.

Hi folks! This year has been a challenge on many of us, and I can only hope the next year goes by more smoothly. Having said that, we have reached the end of 2020, woo! This was my first not-quite-a-year on Imperian, and it has been a whole learning experience. It has been a bit…
