Editing Florimel, Daughter of Oberon (section)

==<span style=color:green><big>"The breakfast Nook of Amber...."</big>==

<span style=color:green>"Sea View Gardens casts shadows of elegance. It is Flora's crowning achievement." 

<span style=color:green>"Each of us are archetypes and this is the expression of my dear sister Florimel's archetype. 

<span style=color:green>It is easy to underestimate sister Florimel. She cultivates the appearance of weakness and neediness and a shallow veneer that is so often attached to stunningly gorgeous women. It makes others defend them or provide for them.  

<span style=color:green>Don't be fooled. She carries grenades in her purse. Her wolfhounds are never more then a whistle away. She is a crack-shot with bow or rifle, shuriken or butter-knife.  She stood the line at the edge of the Abyss during the Battle of Patternfall, raining deadly arrows on the foethings. It is often said ''"He acquitted himself like a Prince of Amber."''  That day she acquitted herself as well as any prince.  I saw. 

<span style=color:green>She is shockingly strong when she needs to be. I am told that during an argument Caine once slapped her.  Her response was to kick him in the yarbles.  Apparently medical attention was needed.  Caine denies it but I've noticed he never stand close to Flora when shes angry.</span> 

<span style=color:green>In our youth we were all given military training.  She fixated on archery.  She no longer competes in the [[Civilian City Cohorts]] archery tournaments and is often their judge.  She has instructed both army and Elites in the longbow.  She may not be a wargoddess but Diana has nothing on her at arrow point.

<span style=color:green>Her allure is that of a flibbertigibbet.  Her resolve is steel.  Never let her batting eyelashes make you forget that she is a Princess of Amber.

<span style=color:green>Men have come to fear me, or Benedict or Gerard or Julian, and even Dierdre.  Remember Lothario, Florimel is of the blood royal and her knives are sharp. 

<span style=color:green>The floral displays are exquisitely balanced for height, thickness, color combinations and scent. The food is a complex menu spanning simple fair such as bagels, cream cheese and lox, cold cereal, and oatmeal to crescents, crepes, and mind-boggling other concoctions common across shadow.

<span style=color:green>Some piece of minor sorcery and structural design does keep it fairly difficult to eavesdrop.

<span style=color:green>There is a piece of etiquette that has developed in Sea View that bears mention. While one may see a vast number of people at Sea View one does not usually walk up and just talk to them. First one catches the eye of the person you would have conversation with then make a tiny gesture, a quarter twist of a hand, indicating you would like to approach and speak. The response in the affirmative is for the respondent to motion with of opening and closing an upturned palm. A negative response is back and forth sweeping motion with the hand. The only counter to a negative response is to rudely ignore the desires of the respondent.

<span style=color:green>Flora is very unhappy about the fact that a number of conflicts have broken out here, harming the flowers.

<span style=color:green>By the way, thinking that Sea View Gardens is a better shortcut into Castle Amber then arriving through the Castle Amber trump is a bad idea. This way is guarded too. While you may get away with it once or twice, because Flora does not stock violent toys in abundance, it should be noted that Flora is often here holding court, and she is not someone to piss off. There is also a fair chance that the diners on the verandah might be violently annoyed if their lunch is disturbed. Fair warning. 

<span style=color:green>A further note-I recently learned that the Amber Elites do in fact schedule meals here for the purpose of guarding the entrance as well as eating their meals. They REALLY don't like having THEIR meals disturbed.

<span style=color:darkred>((GM-Notes: This place is certainly a hotbed of activity.  I envision PCs who need to talk to Random, or any Elder, might meet them here for drinks or lunch. Lover's quarrels.  Random and the Ambassador of Chaos are said to meet for breakfast here. Handy information))
