He preaches about about morality and the consequences of sin, but his actions and attitudes can come across as judgmental and superior. He is described as a merry and indulgent man who enjoys the pleasure of life, such as food and drink. He is well-dressed and well-fed, which contrasts with the traditional image of a humble and ascetic friar. This suggests that he may not be as pious or self-denying as one might expect from someone in his position.

In a quaint old tavern, 'neath the flickering light, The Friar, quite merry, sought joy for the night.

He spotted a woman, tall and graceful in frame, with beauty that sparkled, like a bright, fiery flame.

Her skin, dark and radiant, her demeanor so kind, a heart full of care, and a sharp, brilliant mind.

Respectful and strong, she stood proud and alone, a queen in her right, with a grace of her own.

The Friar approached with his eyes full of lust,His intentions quite clear, driven by desire unjust.

He whispered sweet nothings, his aim crystal clear,but she met his advances with a gaze that could sear.

"Good Friar," she said, with a voice calm and steady,"I need not a man, for my heart is already ready.

Respect I demand, and respect I shall give,

But your lustful intentions, I shall not forgive."

With dignity intact, she turned and walked away, leaving the Friar to ponder and sway.

In that moment, she taught him a lesson profound, that true strength and respect are where real beauty is found.

With a graceful stride, she moved through the room, her presence so powerful, dispelling the gloom.

The Friar, now humbled, watched her depart, a newfound respect growing deep in his heart.

He realized then, in the soft glow of night,

That true beauty and strength are a radiant light.

Not found in conquest or shallow desire,

But in the respect and the love that inspire.

As she left the bar, head held high and proud, she became a beacon, standing out from the crowd.

A symbol of strength, of dignity untold,

A story of courage, both timeless and bold.

The Friar, now wiser, sat back in his chair,

Reflecting on moments when life had been fair.

He learned from the woman, so noble and true, that respect and self-worth are what truly renew.

As she walked away, the Friar felt a change,

A stirring within him, a feeling quite strange.

He followed behind her, his steps light and quick,

Determined to learn, to understand, to fix.

"Wait, my fair lady," he called out with care,

"I've wronged you tonight, and I wish to repair.

May I know your name, the one who stands tall,Whose wisdom and grace have humbled us all?"

She paused for a moment, then turned with a smile, her eyes full of kindness, devoid of any guile.

"My name is Roslyn Marrii," she said with a nod,

"Remember it well, for it's blessed by God."

The Friar bowed low, respect in his eyes,

For Roslyn Marrii had shown him where true honor lies.

And as they parted ways, under the moon's gentle gleam,

He carried her name, like a precious, bright dream.

# data[].attributes.body
With Roslyn's name echoing in his mind,

The Friar felt a shift, a new path to find.

He watched her disappear into the night,

Her figure bathed in the soft moonlight.

He returned to the bar, a changed man inside, no longer driven by foolish pride.

Roslyn's strength and grace had shown him the way,

To respect and cherish, come what may.

From that night on, the Friar's heart grew,

With lessons of honor, both old and new.

And though their paths might never cross again, he'd forever remember the night, and her name.
