Three months ago....
Mahaala. Vylian. Celes. How did I lose all three of you within a span of a few years? I only had you, Mahaala, for five years, but we knew each other since childhood. Vylian, we lasted only three or four months. Celes....we were friends first, and I tried to match you with someone else, but we loved each other. You fought Torr for me, and we even adopted a daughter, and yet.... we still lasted barely half a year. How could this happen? Was it me? Am I repulsive? Aloof? Was I a bad father? A bad mate? I want to believe my loneliness isn't my fault. I want to believe I did my best to save you, Mahaala. I want to believe I am a good papa. I want to believe I am cherished. I want to believe I am loved.
Patron Polore and Matron Patisha were together for over eight thousand years. There are other Draenei couples who have been together longer. And longer.
........................................I see how it is. Third time's the charm. I -am- a bad mate. I fall in love too easily and run a business in love, but I really don't know how love is.... or what it is. Cristovao, a human, has a healthier and stronger relationship with Diwaata than I do with draenei women. I ought to be ashamed of myself.
Well, I am. I vow that I will no longer... no longer..........
....wait. What about The Love Exchange?
.......No. I can't let my clients down. I can't let Kantado and Tibalan down. I can't let.... wait. Bezington? I haven't seen him since The Love Festival. Where did Jof'waz go, I haven't seen him since the business expo! Raynoltz and Kyramu left. Ishani and Rylei disappeared. I don't remember why I hired Jezzan but I hardly see him around either....
...it's just me, Kantado, and Tibalan again, and both are facing family issues that have prevented them from doing their jobs. Apparantly, I'm a horrible mate, father, AND businessman. I can't keep neither my family, friends, nor business together. I haven't seen my friends. My clients just see me as a matchmaker. And Aria.... I could just hand you to Diwaata. You can have a mommy again. A better daddy. A sister. A warmer environment where everyone is smiling. You're only two years old. You won't miss me. No one would miss me. No would care if I di-....
.....What am I saying?! Have I gone so far off into a deep end that I am considering.... that?! No. No. Think of pleasant things. Think of happy. Uh.... jewelcrafting. Songwriting. Dancing. Breasts. Lesbians. Girls kissing girls.... Celes and Talesta.... Talesta?! Even she's gone! Where has everyone gone?!
Distractions. That is what I need. New faces. New places. A break... yes. I got it! A sports fair! Happy times! People competing as friends, not enemies. Sportsmanship. Honor. Badges..... pride! Joy. Fun. That's it. Something fun. Nothing romantic... just fun. People love fun. It makes them happy. Gotta get to work...
....What's this?
....A staunch pacifist? Desire to make people happy? Hm... but she lacks experience regarding romantic relationships. I may be making another business mistake. I may....
............Heh. One more won't hurt. I have nothing to lose, really. I'll just have to find this 'Xanthe'.

Spoiler:
Quote:Name: Xanthe Novalight
Dwelling Location:I was born in Eversong, but now I travel extensively.
Race: Blood Elf
Gender: Lady
Position Sought: Employee/Apprentice Matchmaker
Education and Skills: I am very well-educated, I should think. I can speak both Common and Orcish but my writing is not very good. I do not know much about romantic interactions, but I very much wish to make others happy and will try my very hardest.
Military Experience?: No, I do not have any military experience, and I do not believe in violence. I am very accurate with a bow.
Why do you want to join The Love Exchange?
It will be a good growing opportunity for me and an opportunity to contemplate more fully the nature of others. I have never had a job before but I should very much like to stand on my own feet.
....A staunch pacifist? Desire to make people happy? Hm... but she lacks experience regarding romantic relationships. I may be making another business mistake. I may....
............Heh. One more won't hurt. I have nothing to lose, really. I'll just have to find this 'Xanthe'.
