Relationship Note on Domonico
The reception was a lot of fun with dancing and drink, good food and great company.
I am truly happy for them both and am glad to consider Malvici family!
Congratulations to the newlyweds on their union!
I especially adored watching Domonico's chin hit the floor when he announced his wife... her entrance was spectacular, nothing short of breath-taking, and caught her new groom quite off guard. We'll be talking about it for months, at least!

Relationship Note on Thea
As my second-cousin and youngest of the siblings, you have every right to tease Commodore Domonico in any way you see fit.
Just know I approve!
"Mean brother"
Yes! I am forever going to remind him of how he was always, and might still be, the 'mean' one!

Right now this news is a kettle set to boil.
There are many in the Compact who will not fully understand the response from some houses in the Islands. I have faith in the leadership of the House of Thrax that they will see this change made with minimal disaster.
But there will be some disaster. Just a bit. At least.

Relationship Note on Victus
I was wrong. I was wrong in the best possible way it is to be wrong. I had no faith in House Thrax, and no faith even in the leaders who had made gestures toward at least easing thralldom. At best, I thought, children were being freed--without their parents, without their families--and being raised in unfamiliar households. At best this was accomplished by paying the people who had either enslaved them in the first place, or encouraged their enslavement by buying their debt. At best, an entire generation of children would be cut loose from everything and everyone they'd known, to save them from a lifetime of slavery. But not their parents. Not their grandparents. Not their brothers and sisters and cousins who were too old to raise the kind of sympathy they could. Just them. At best, they and they alone would be free.
Seven years is a long, painfully long time. Children will grow up in seven years. Men and women will die or be killed in seven years. Older thralls may not have seven years left in them. But seven years is not a generation. It's not a century. It doesn't condemn every current thrall to die in thralldom for the sake of the future and the comfort of their owners.
I apologize for underestimating you. And me and mine, many of whom are former thralls themselves, will stand with you in this.

With that in mind, I am planning a ceremony to honor those who have made such great contributions in the name of Knowledge, and I hope to continue this tradition annually into the future. I look forward to seeing the nominations, and a few have already come in. To encourage further the spread of knowledge throughout the Compact, I will also be doubling this event as a fundraiser for a couple of projects that are upcoming, which I'm very pleased to support.
The Scholars are always willing to support such worthy goals. If there are any educational projects you are interested in developing and seek the aid of the Scholars, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. It is my hope that we will continue to work closely with any of the schools and academies throughout the Compact.

What can I say about myself other than when a see a sharp stick and a sleeping bear I have to poke it.
It is a wonder why I am still alive.

Never, ever, ever under any circumstances, call their noble and brave steed fat. It will be less painful to remember this bit of wisdom, and be far less mud to clean out of one's clothing when you are repeatedly tossed into mud pits.
