So you wouldn't say that "rum is not as good as... a quiet evening and a ponderous tome of dry economic theory to read"?

As a point of fact, he does not. Kael was born, legitimate from a marriage. He was raised unconventionally, but in truth, he was never not a noble, whether he knew it or not. He was not granted his title. He was born to it.

I am not sure in how many ways I can restate this, but I will certainly try in as many ways as I can.
The children are children. This was not their choice, nor their decision. What was done was done TO them or FOR them if you prefer. Their agency was not applicable. They are blameless. They did not choose nor ask for this. They are not part of the equation of decision. Therefore, I wish them the best. They are children. Innocent as so many have said (Including me!).
I condemn Pravus for making a choice that cheapens the very fabric of nobility. There were other options that make far more sense. These children are two years old and have been Crownsworn this whole time, if what I understand is true. Why ennoble them now? What, I ask, was the point?
That is where my objection lies.

Yeah, your journals made it sound like you thought Countess Reigna was plotting something. Guess I was wrong. Sorry!

I did not single you out, your highness, when it came to taking the worst interpretations of words. Dame Thena was coming to my defense, for which I thank her most sincerely, but I did not think you meant that you thought I sought to wish ill upon the children with my 'ominous' and 'veiled references'. Nor was I attempting to make inflammatory accusations. Just to be clear.

To clarify my words:
The consequences I referred to are to House Pravus for this move, *not* to the children. For my take on that, see the first sentence under 'On adoption'. And to clarify my clarification, those consequences are the current furor regarding the move to adopt. Nothing more than that. Please, let us not assume the worst of each other? I was simply trying to express my own confusion over the move and perhaps offer perspective on *why* this action has caused such a debate. I am a healer and I have a deep aversion to physical violence. I am the last person to worry about when it comes to threats of violence.

Perhaps a glass or two of rum before the event would help settle your nerves?
In any case, I am sure the auction will turn out great.

I have no doubt, my darling friend, that this event will be not only one of great memory, but of great good. You will surely pull this off without looking like it was any trouble at all! Your grace and poise is enviable and I doubt this situation will be any different. I can't wait to see you and enjoy this lovely affair you and the others are holding!

Highness, I would suggest perhaps you mean to say that fear keeps us from doing the things we *believe* will harm us.
Being afraid of the dark doesn't mean the dark will harm us, just that we think it might.

Fear keeps us from doing that which we fear. It is indiscriminate with regards virtue or value. It often motivates acts of immoral substance, or freezes one from performing acts of valor.
Even something so simple as a soft word of protest against a flagrant wrong can be dissuaded by fear.
It is no suitable deterrent.

Oh, my dearest friend, I would never bring the hound to fine establishments or even shopping when we are about the city. He or she will be curled happily around a hearth instead, or roaming the grounds with the other Redrain four-legged companions. Well, I suppose some are two-legged, or taloned, but you see my point.
