I saw you in a dress at the reception the other night. I am sorry I did not get to linger to remark upon it.

A passage from the Proverbs of the Theologia Tehomatica: May I always be quick to forgive those who in a moment of weakness cause harm, for a soul grows when they are given the opportunity to learn from their mistakes. Blessed are they who choose not to act upon another's weakness for their own gain, for doing otherwise grows the corruption within themselves.

Relationship Note on Laric
Prince Laric Grayson has demanded that I not give him a present for his birthday this year. He has insisted that I not do this. He has _required_ that I not give him a present for his birthday.
Therefore, I have _not_.
I have instead obscured his present somewhere about the grounds of of the mansion and I am sure that he will be able to identify it immediately upon spotting it as belonging to him.
With thanks to the very fine assistants at Master Fortunato Grayhope's shop for making my dream a reality.

I have heard the banjo and can state it does not appear evil or in consort with the Abyss. As for First Officer Estardes' skill with it...he has many other fine talents!

Some days, I browse through the recent white journal entries into the archives and find tales of adventure, bravery, heroism, and also sometimes defeat. I tend to feel proud to be part of the Compact with these people after reading them.
Some days, I browse through the recent white journal entries into the archives and find anecdotes or tales meant to make one think, provide some moral to the story, thoughtful warning, or bit of education on a topic hidden in prose. I often reach out to these people after to speak with them in more detail on what they have written about.
Some days, I browse through the recent white journal entries into the archives and find joy expressed, beauty described, loves triumph, and appreciation for a fellow person. This makes me stop in my busy schedule to think of those close to me, and appreciate the fact that they are indeed, close to me. It also encourages me to reach out to someone on occasion and just let them know that... hey... I appreciate you.
Some days, I browse through the recent white journal entries into the archives and find.... well, things that make me roll my eyes and question the maturity level of some people. Not in the, oh, these people are silly and fun way but in the way that these people should come with a warning label that they do not play well with others.
Some days, I browse through the recent white journal entries into the archives and find... there are a great many people who ARE silly and fun and even if sometimes in an immature way, they make me smile.
Some days, I browse through the recent white journal entries into the archives and find squabbles or just inane back and forth that could (and probably should) be kept to personal meetings or messengers.
Then, there are days like today, where I experience a myriad of feelings in regards to what I read. I have been amused, snorted and smirked, rolled my eyes, nodded in agreement. And, I have to say, I find the things written by someone named Nierzen refreshingly if brutally honest and entertaining. I likely will find them this way until the day one is written about me. This is a fault of my own I can admit.
All that said, I would like to note that a rumor (especially one made without naming an offender) is just a rumor until the anonymous offender speaks up about it and lays claim to the offending act by defending the doing of such an act. Well done, culprit.

Rumors of cursed instruments are exaggerations. I was overly sharp with my friend Lieutenant Estardes one time and bought him a banjo as an apology. The only curse about it is that the man has zero talent.

What's most aggravating I think is this idea that you're supposed to be complimented by some idiot who cannot control himself. I was so overwhelmed by your beautiful ass that I just really needed to try and take your pants off!
Honestly it's like there's no courtesy or subtlety in this day and age. My ass is pretty okay but it is not, in itself, an invitation. Put a little effort into it. I'm not unseducible for a man or woman who knows how to ask.
Am I to understand from reading the public discourse that some poor fool was crass enough to attempt this with a Whisper?
In short, yikes.

I will also add, on the topic of rumors.. that often they are based in untruths, half truths and outright lies. In that respect I rather agree that they can be poisonous and toxic fiends that wreck havoc on innocent lives. However, just because one does not like the consequences to their actions - does not mean that the folly is based on rumors. Sometimes the truth is just unattractive when seen from another perspective. Simply put, for every action there is to be expected a reaction. If you do not like the reaction your actions have caused then perhaps it is time to reconsider how you act.

Relationship Note on Zerric
Now that is a fine idea, isn't it? Perhaps then, instead of asking for ideals like patience, consideration and common courtesy I should instead ask for a chance to say "no thank you" before the hand wanders upon my thigh, my breast or a kiss is sought out and given. I assure had any of this been negotiated beforehand, that would have been my answer.
I understand though, that it is easier to look for blame from the other person than to admit that perhaps you crossed a line. Perhaps the hints were too subtle, perhaps you took the lack of outright invitation as a different sort of invitation, perhaps you simply didn't know better... Well, I can only imagine that now you do.

Relationship Note on Etienne
It is a doctrine of the Faith, of course, that upon taking godsworn vows one's family ceases to be family, joining only the family of the gods.
At the same time, however, I am proud to hear of my cousin Etienne Telmar's appointment as archlector of Gild. The Dominus chose well. Etienne served with distinction as seraph of my loved Telmarch, and I look forward to welcoming him to the Capital when he arrives to assume his new role.

Some thoughts on rumors:
The spreading of gossip and slander is an incredibly dangerous and potent weapon in and of itself. While perhaps a necessary defense when times call for, it is often an over used and destructive tool. Not only to the receiver of your brash and heated words, but for all of those who should listen to it. Such things can poison the minds of others and put them on guard of a threat that may not even exist. As mentioned, it is a power that can be quite potent and effective when used properly. However, when precautions are not used, the damage caused by it can be far more than intended.
With that, I urge those who partake in such things to simply be mindful of the impact of your actions.

If attention or contact is unwanted, perhaps you should forgo accepting such things?
