My absolute favorite dress in the world is a pretty purple woolen one with silver butterflies that Mistress Petal made me.
Or the pink linen one I was wearing when I officially met Prince Niklas!
And if that's wrong, I don't want to be right!
Though my rainbow aeterna and seasilk one is also pretty. And I suppose I was wearing a silver aeterna dress the night I actually met Prince Niklas, although I wouldn't know his name for another week or so. I suppose what I'm saying is I love all my dresses, even the ones that aren't deemed worthy by others!
Maybe especially those ones.

There's no denying the simple pleasures of stripping one's curtains from the windows, tearing up one's rugs from the floor, and wearing both out among the public on a warm spring day.
As long as the carpet matches the drapes, you lot. Nothing less will do.

If I had my way, it would be steelsilk. All steelsilk. And star iron. And dragonweep. Some alaricite, too, if I am being perfectly honest.
And this is assuredly but one reason why the gods have deemed it fit that no one should get their way all the time.

I quite like the feel of silk. Though I think after reading the whites of Master Wild, Dear Dragon, that I may have to get some Aeterna sheets made for our bedchambers.
As for the cheapness of silk. I have plenty of it in my wardrobes, I wear nothing less, but you remember this dear dragon. You quite liked me in Aeterna. Victus I think prefers me in a nice crimson seasilk. So it would seem that Whispers - or it may just be the one - have deemd silk is not proper, not fit and not the trend.
I suppose then, that I shall have to turn to cotton? Spring is coming. I shall have to consult with the Lady Zoey as to how to plan for the coming season of cotton, cotton, cotton.
I haven't worn cotton velvet in some time. I suppose I will be much cooler on the ships as we journey to Maelstrom.
The accountants will be happier at least. Clothing budget will have at least four or five times less!
Dearest dragon, cotton it shall be. I wonder who will join me....

I didn't personally know the Countess Paige, but her death in the midst of Arx is greatly disturbing. I do not have an eye for investigation, though increasingly, I wish it were otherwise, so I could assist those who have not found justice.

Buy seasilk. It's like normal silk, only fashioned by those with a mind for the sea.
Therefore, it is objectively better.

Quite. I suppose we could always mine more of the lands for gems. Do you suppose diamonds will soon be low quality as well? We could always invest more into fish and seafood, I suppose.

Indeed. Setarco is just wasting time producing such low-quality material. To think that we've had this industry in the Lyceum for centuries, from the harvesting and spinning of silk to the shipping houses of the Hundred Cities that move the material across the Compact. All of this effort, so many jobs for something so -worthless-.

Silk is low quality? I must have been dirt poor when I was a Thrall, a silk shirt would have been nice to keep me cool in that summer heat! Could never dream of buying silk back then. Now I sleep on it every night!
Thinking about it, though it would be expensive as shit, aeterna would make great sheets for a bed. You could drink wine on your bed with no worries!

How strange to be so passionate over silk. It feels strange. I never liked it. Too delicate and flimsy.
Fur is far more lovely. I hug Tempest and Atila and stroke their coat. I admit I'm jealous of it.
I wish I had fur. I suppose the hair on my legs will do for now.

Well. Since silk is apparently so low quality, I suppose I can have all my people halt the harvesting. That will, of course, mean also halting the production of seasilk, umbra, and aeterna... given that all three items base material is 'just silk'. I'm sure they will be happy for the respite from the silk fields. Perhaps we can instead turn them into good farmlands instead. I understand oils and butters are quite popular right now.

Thoughts about heroes:
They are very different from peacocks. They don't strut, they don't hang portraits of themselves in their homes, and they are mostly sotto voce. They don't create whirlwind scandals and are a socialite's worst nightmare. I have often wondered what makes a person's life or his or her individual actions heroic to the point where their legacy stands the test of time. Lately, however, I have wondered more how the heroes of old would react to the world of today.

When choosing your spot for a duel,
it's best if you don't play the fool.
If you think a marquis
can be cut off at the knees,
then for Gods' sake don't let the thought cool.
Always pick the spot that's best
to harness your strength to the test.
Don't think a man weak
or that vic'try you seek
will go not to you, but the rest.
On this date, 3/11/1009 AR, let it be known that Marquis Leary is not half as terrible at throwing snowballs as I thought. Perhaps he is still a quarter as terrible, but he was skilled enough at it to hit me in the face with a snowball, ending our debate over the matter.
