I want it to be known that the Commons Clinic is open to all who need medical treatment. I do not care about your opinions regarding the nobility or anything else. I do not care about your opinions regarding me or anyone else in the Physicians guild or the guild itself. If you are sick or injured I or one of my staff will treat you, and we will give you the respect and dignity you deserve as a living being while you are receiving that treatment. If you are too sick to get out of bed we will come to you. Your opinions mean nothing to me. It is your health I am concerned about.

Nothing proves to the world what an upstanding noble you are than whining at commoners in the Whites, to be certain.
If I was actually making some sort of _effort_ to turn the Lowers against some clinic that I don't care about, you would certainly notice, and not from my Whites. Which you are free not to read.
Just as I am free to refuse to be some sort of "commoner whisperer" to make people like you more.

Not to worry, he's not really encouraging hatred towards physicians, especially not the ones taking care of the Boroughs! It's just late for him and someone really should have put him to bed before letting him write more journals.
Yes I know I'm just drawing his ire. Just part of my selfless duty to all people of Arx.

You are too right, I should have been clearer. That last part was more directed to Goodman Bastien, as he was the one to directly encourage hate be directed to our physicians.

Now now, uncle Orathy isn't REALLY full of hate for all silks. He's just filled with the spirit of Gild! Sharing is caring, and he holds the virtues of generosity above all!
Now, Bastien, on the other hand, is all hate and grumpiness.

I think my actions speak for my desire to do right by the Commons. I think I've been respectful and inviting to those who I deal with (with a few notable exceptions) and when I am proven wrong, I own up to it and apologize. I fail to understand why the desire to understand the perspectives of others is met with such recrimination and vitriol. You make sweeping statements that lump everyone born to the Peerage into a single category and tar us with the same brush. I cannot speak for the intentions of others, but I have always sought what is best for the greater good. It is a guiding principal of my life and one of the main motivations for me to become a healer. I do not pick and choose my patients. I serve all in need.
As to those who desire people of the commons to hate all 'silks' including those who are attempting to staff a clinic to serve them? How can you be filled with so much hate for people you do not know?
That makes me incredibly sad.

Aye, suddenly the lot of you care about the commons? Ya needin a gold fuckin star? Reckon I got one for ya, if ya want it. It fuckin shines with some spit.
Thing is, we know what yer doin is just fer your own damn benefit, so ya can stand in your silks and wiggle yer little finger and say you did something. I reckon if ya wanna understand the commoner folk, give up all your worldly possessions, titles, 'n other shit and come live as we do.

My only concern is the health, safety, and wellbeing of the Commons. I was given suggestions for people to reach out to who might assist in making people feel safe and welcomed coming to the Commons Clinic, and I reached out to those people. Thank you for your response and have a good evening.

You may not make Bastien not hate you, but you can make me not hate you by donating to the Knights of Solace orphan support efforts! I'm a commoner too, raised up from the gutters of the Lower Boroughs. Excellent commoner credentials. The best.

To be clear: my public criticism of the nobility does not mean I am available for hire to advise anyone to be less of a blight on my awareness. Do not send me letters asking how to make the commons not hate you! I don't care about making the commons not hate you! I am not here to offer you common sense on charity!
I hope the commons hate all of you.

Returning to Arx from the North has been a swirl of happenings that I've only barely been able to keep up with. Violet knows so many people, and they all seem to love her. It seems odd, in a way, but then in another it makes me happy that she has so many friends. After how our lives were growing up, it makes me feel good to know that she has found so many people that lover her.

I can get you a tea for that, Your Grace?
...was that funny? I was trying to be funny.
For the record, I do not hate High Lord Victus, and was sincere in my apology to him.

You are not being a snot nor are you lacking a sense of humor, my dear cousin. You simply have far more empathy for the plight of the common man or woman.
There are perhaps things we are not aware of underneath, but I am glad that you have pointed out that 20 silver a week is far more than what an average serf in any holding makes, and to think it's for cat food.

Well I *did* say I was being cranky.
You are correct, that my words did imply those things were not being done, and for the offense my words caused, I am truly apologetic. I am glad to hear that Thrax is seeing to the families of the fallen, and I should have expected no less from a Great House. I know that Keaton is working as hard as we can to handle our losses, and how difficult that is for us.
I can often take things too seriously, and in the examples that you gave, yes. I can see the reasoning behind your choice. I simply... I feel as if all I can see lately is those in need, those I feel a deep obligation to help.
Do you perhaps know of anyone available to tutor me in how to have a sense of humor?

The meetup can be terminated by either party at any point for any reason. Knights on the Block are:

I get notified when you write a journal, and by extension I read Countess Keaton's, and now I just want to roll my eyes until I have a fucking migraine.
You answered it more diplomatically than I could, Vic, but it won't fucking help. These people made less of a fuss when I ennobled a fucking common mercenary king with a barony than they did your damn cat.
It's a hate train, so just do yourself a favour and stop responding in the Whites.
