Relationship Note on Aureth
I feel required to ask this of Archlector Aureth simply because of my duty and role in the Church:
Which way are you typically facing when you deliver sermons, Blessed Aureth? Should I be concerned?

Relationship Note on Leola
Looks like I have taken a mature step forward in being a contributing member of society and bettering my city.
[ Aside: Does that sound dramatic enough? Good. ]
Dame Leola Allenatore has formally -- seriously, when you piss her off she gets MORE polite, it's honestly the best thing that I've ever seen -- accepted my offer and has become my protégé.
[ Let that sink in for a while. Yeah. ]

Oh, you know, I do actually have robes. I just graduated to the pants and longcoat outfit and didn't want to go back. They're very stylish pants, I spent a lot on them and I feel like people should have the opportunity to enjoy my butt in appropriate resplendence.

I came to make my thoughts on my sorry excuse for an autumn wardrobe permanent for the nosy Scholars of the future nostalgic for signs of culture. But, then a Scholar whispered something that snagged my attention, and I simply had to comment.
It's common and accepted knowledge that I look incredible in stockings - because I look fucking amazing in /everything./ That said --
I second this notion for a Pink Hat, Blue Stocking gathering that ought to be arranged by the excellent Count Amadeo.
All in favor?

You did not say 'mostly'. You said 'explicitly'. If you wish to mean what you say, you should say what you mean.

You said it yourself highness. *Frequently*. Not *always* or *only*. Really, for the Rhetoric Speaker for the Crown you should grasp that difference.
And again, the seriousness of a duel is something that should reflect both participants, not simply one. A person paying to be represented should not have that person treating their cause lightly if their client does not take it lightly. This is a very basic and fundamental concept. How are you struggling with it?

I can see now why so many people were looking for training in solving matters diplomatically! I think the first step is probably to stop writing journals back and forth and just go ahead and meet with people face to face!
You're welcome! Please, don't feel like you need to send any payment for that lesson. Your gratitude is enough! I do accept hugs and drinks at a loud bar, though!

I've been quiet but I'll clarify exactly what the duel was over. That impromptu large gatherings in small bars should be either held in large bars or scheduled in advance. That was my position. As my champion lost, I rescind the request.
I've apologized for any slight taken by Bliss Whisper as set forth by Sir Jeffeth and as far as I'm concerned the matter is closed and I won't be writing anything further.

I'm sorry my dear, but even I have to pause and correct you there. Duels are -not- explicitly for minor conflicts. Duels of honor are -any- challenge that is publicly declared and accepted. They range from the minor to the major, and to many people, could be seen as something to be undertaken only when seriously offended. If you personally choose to have a duel fought over minor matters, that is your discretion.
But I also believe that Countess Reigna was accurate in questioning the validity and veracity of a duel in which all parties -except one- have arranged things beforehand, even if just from a stylistic standpoint. If you wanted to throw a Pink Hat party and invited three other people, and then found out those three other people met beforehand to discuss how it should really be a Blue Stockings party, and never told you? You would not be happy either, I suspect.

A father and his daughter were on their way to the Arx, hoping to buy a new blade for their plow. Walking with them was their beloved donkey. As they walked, they passed people here and there, who began to talk. "Look at those two fools. They've a perfectly good donkey, yet they walk! Surely they are too stupid to ride."
Hearing these words, the man grabbed hold of his child and set her atop the donkey and continued on the way. It wasn't long before they were hearing talk from the travelers they passed once more. "Look at that spoiled child, sitting atop the donkey while her father walks! Such disrespect."
Hearing these words, the man grabbed his child and took her down from the donkey. He mounted the beast himself, and they continued toward Arx. As they walked, they heard more chatter. "Look at that selfish man. Riding atop the donkey while forcing his child to walk. So cruel!"
Hearing these words, the man reached down and grabbed up his daughter, bringing her up onto the beasts back so she could sit in front of him. They continued on toward Arx, and it was only a few minutes before another group going the opposite direction passed them. "Look at those two," said one of the group. "Overburdening their donkey. Torturing that poor beast. Don't they know how awful they are?"
Hearing these words, the man was truly frustrated. He climbed down from the donkey and pulled his daughter down as well, and had a good think. After some time, he came up with a solution. He and his daughter fetched a pole, then bound the donkey's feet with leather straps. They hoisted the creature, carrying it by the pole, on their shoulders, upside down. As they struggled and groaned, the finally managed to carry their donkey into Arx, where everyone at the Seawatch Gate laughed and laughed at them. "Look at those two fools, carrying a donkey!" "Look at those monsters, dragging in this creature still alive to sell it's hide!" "Look at those poor savages, unable to afford a horse and cart to properly haul their beast."
The father and his daughter were both embarrassed and furious, but before they could come up with a new plan, the donkey finally bucked and kicked and broke free from the leather straps. Panicked and upset, the donkey ran off, never to be seen again. The man and his child lost their donkey, forever.
Try to please everyone and you will please none.

My point, your highness, is that the seriousness of the duel should be dictated by the one making the challenge. I thought that was very explicit in my journal entry.
Please note that the scholars may take some time preparing your journal for others to read.
