Relationship Note on Lark
As a Whisper, I find it my place to comment when I see a peer of the realm conducting a breach of etiquette. As a Champion, I pay particular attention to duels of honor and the social mores that surround them, and am very outspoken about this.
Not only that, as a Devotion of Limerance, the ties of Fealty and the implications of the actions of a noble lord toward their vassals are within my sphere to comment on. My word is not law. But it does not come from nothing. I spoke nothing but truth on what the actions of your brother in refusing the challenge implied, though I admit that I may become overly passionate on occasion and as is only human, biased towards my own side by my personal feelings toward Prince Barric - personal feelings which stemmed from my interpretation of our past interactions, and which came out later, harshly and unnecessarily.
I stand by the logic and the intent of my words, though I acknowledge they were barbed. I stand by my honor. I will gladly accept any challenge to prove them before Gloria. If I am worth notice for public chastisement to my honor, why do I not have the right to defend it?
I will not be the one issuing the challenge. I was happy to leave it to House Grayson.
Either way, your brother will not receive further comment from me, and these will be my last unsolicited remarks on this whole affair.

Spirit Leathers. I stumbled upon this shop by accident - I was freezing, it looked warm - and within I found some of the most beautiful craftsmanship I've seen yet in the city. Of course, I couldn't leave without a little something for myself. /Somethings/ in the form of a beautiful white leather corset and a silk skirt to match.
It is my hope to have many returns to see what else will be on offer.

Writing the Commoner's Bulletin was exhausting, but there are times I miss it. Like right now, when I'd love to be reporting on Thrax's painfully slow march toward ending slavery, or Grayson's masterful ability to tirelessly serve (and save) the Compact all while making themselves look so bad, or certain Blissper making her personal bedroom activities (or lack thereof) so overt (how dare a Lycene discuss such things!), or even another scathing rebuke by Father Orazio.
And it's not that Derobai cannot handle it! But does he really capture the tawdry drama behind it all? But, then, could I?
I should see about hiring Prince Niklas to put this drama to paper, so it might show at the Black Rose.
Suppose I will settle for adding to the growing stack of whites this incident has provoked.

I still consider Lumen family, so she has an open invitation!
Also, we do have a contract with the Whispers. Though Lumen should not feel obligated to show up because of that!
And if Lumen does show up, I would like her to be able to relax and enjoy the prepared meal rather than have to practice her very incredible peace-keeping skills!
Unless she wanted to.
Maybe I'll just have Prince Niklas play the banjo until everyone's mad at him instead.

Coral, whom was a former thrall and pressed into service for a blacksmith in her adolescence for a crime that - well, isn't my fucking business based on the glare I'm getting - was a little excited to hear the news issued by the Highlord of Thrax today. Truly. She almost smiled. She left too quickly to offer my entire comment--
'Working toward reform isn't abolishing an old culture. It's a step toward creating a new one. House Saik supports this change.'

Exemplary administrative aptitude does not an infallible judge of social conduct make.
While I have the utmost respect for her highness for all that she has sacrificed so that we might thrive, to think herself a true social arbiter above and beyond the Softest Whisper is a gross overestimation of herself and her reach. While I sympathize with the sentiments of defending her brother, that she would risk the alienation of her friends and greatest admirers at Whisper House for his follies and conspiracy theories is deeply saddening, even more so when one considers that this originates with such a trivial matter as a vassal who burns bridges more quickly than he appears capable of building them.

I have no comment on the Graysons or their princes and/or Swords to share in the white reflections, particularly on matters of disputes which I did not witness. I know them not, save that the conduct the Royal house displays ever represents an example to the Peerage, and so I try to observe and learn.
I have some acquaintance with Bliss Whisper, however, and have found her to be a woman of honor, wit, and grace befitting her position as Softest. Further, she’s aided me in my own education on the virtues and obligations of Limerance in her role as a Devotion, to my own betterment. These are the things I know. I look forward to seeing the things I do not settled honorably and entertainingly, as I do love a good duel.

So you feel it is better that you personally defend the honor of your brother since he refuses to do so himself? Yet you won't act out against his poor behavior and simply allow him to go forth and sullen the Grayson name, without any reprimand for turning down a lawful challenge from your vassals?

I'm not sure that making that a public journal entry rather than a private message does as much to help your brother as you might think.
Please note that the scholars may take some time preparing your journal for others to read.
