Most of the time I'm not totally sure what the right thing to do is, so I really hope that people treat me with forebearance and forgive when I do it wrong.

And no roads is a travesty. So with the harbor currently occupied by boats that don't paint the friendliest of pictures, it occurs to me that while trade over the southern seas is profitable and expedient, putting all of our eggs into one brine-laced basket isn't the best thing for the delicate balance of the market. I'll be seeking out those with a head for trade, travel, and thinking outside of the established lines, so to speak. Neither man nor monsters (nor great hulking behemoth ships) should ever stand in the way of trade, whatever road we may need to pave.

I have given my apology and retraction and will be leaving it at that unless asked to do differently by the offended party.

I do not believe I was wrong to hold that view. Before us is an Assembly of Peers during which we will host the representatives of two foreign powers, each wildly different from us. We cannot yet know what their arrival will portend for us, but what we can say is that in spite of that, and in spite of the many hardships and travails we have faced in the past years, House Telmar reinforced their word, their honor, and the ideals the Faith teaches to value and uphold. Whether one is a noble lord or or a humble cobbler, you can look to House Telmar and know that they will endeavor to do the right thing, no matter that is difficult or unwelcome.
I would have taken the same stance were it a different House; were it someone other than Bliss. If one cannot understand how what was in question was and is important to us as a society, then I am uncertain how else to explain it. Ultimately, however, it ended positively, and I am glad to see it done.

It is the hardest thing I've ever done.
There was a story once that a friend told me - of a ruler who had a general who was very successful, who won many battles. And when the war was done they sat at a celebratory dinner and the ruler asked the general what he thought of the virtue of compassion. The general replied that it was a weakness, and sneered at anyone who thought differently. And the ruler ordered him killed on the spot. For he himself was not a compassionate man, but the woman he loved was and he would hear no word against her.
I was horrified to hear that story the first time I heard it. But now I think I understand better.

The response to the idea that Dame Ida and I had to get everyone to wear a bit of copper has been overwhelmingly positive. I have been amazed at all the people who want to get involved. We aren't done, not by a long shot, but it's so nice to go out in the streets and see that flash of metal around someone's neck or pinned to their shirt or cloak. I want people to focus on the positive, to stick together in times of trouble, and the best way to do that is by example. And isn't Copper the best example of all?
