Relationship Note on Mae
I’ll trade for Itsy. He’ll just have to stand around looking pretty though; I have an Order of Extraordinary Knights to haul boxes and get things off of high shelves.

You must realize, good readers, that Mae typically describes me as the stupid little brother. It's quite amusing to watch her stretch beyond her usual descriptors.

If I die before you do, you can have whatever booze is still left in my boarding room. I hope this lessens the sting of jealousy a bit.

I am now quite curious about your painting! I must go to the Murder of Crows and see it. For... historical perspective. Of course.

I'm so sorry nobody stopped this, Mistress Mae. Master Magpie, you are obligated now to come to the concert to show your respect for art, including Mae's. I think that is a fair penance.
Master Itzal Culler, I hope you're working hard on that composition I asked of you.

Now that seems like a big step, not one I'd like to take lightly. Perhaps you'd care to tell me of your experiences when you find yourself a patron?

So.
Flowers.
I've already handled this, as far as the people who were actually upset enough to simply talk to me about it, after the fact, as opposed to going and talking to their journals. I had previously apologized to those who spoke with me, and my original response to everything was before I took a second, more critical eye to what I had written and had the wondrous thought that -- this was not what I intended to write at all.
I considered the matter at an end, but .... apparently there are those who have little enough to concern themselves in their lives that they must pay attention to every word written.
This is fine, we need people to pay attention to history and to keep us on our toes.
That said, what I originally wrote regarding flowers was ... not well-written. What was written was absolutely not what I meant, and I should have known better to proofread my own writing before actually...putting pen to paper.
What Marquis Leary wrote was much more in line with my own thinking. I like natural things. These include flowers. I like women, especially pretty ones. The first part of what I wrote was about that.
The second part was horribly mis-written, and was a second topic entirely, as Marquis Leary stated. I was reminding myself of my duty. I am glad that others are able to make matches easily and with little fuss. I am glad for you.
To anyone who was upset by my original remarks (and rightfully so), but didn't have the discretion to contact a messenger and actually ask me about it, I offer what little apology is necessary. I have already apologized to those who had that discretion, and I consider that matter over.
In the future, if you have a question about what I say or write, especially when asking me for words on another topic -- ask. We all make mistakes.

I said nothing of your intellectual capabilities.
You have failed to quote the Duke in this instance.
"It is interesting how many unmarried noble women there are in the city at this time. I seem to find one around every corner, almost. I'm not complaining -- they're almost all beautiful and pleasant. It's akin to walking into a field and seeing an abundance of beautiful flowers of every type surrounding you. It's enough to take one's breath away, almost.
Of course, I have to remember that no matter how beautiful or aromatic a flower might be, it has to fit the need -- I was reminded of that last night. Thank you for that."
The Duke compared the beauty of women to flowers, and attested that there are plenty of beautiful women in the city, as you can see in the first paragraph. In the second, he identified that the woman which he should marry should benefit House Ashford. However, if you could perhaps identify where he commented that women are to be used and plucked for his whim in his journal entry, that would be most helpful in clarifying your opinion on the subject.

So the Duke commented that there were a lot of beautiful women in the city, but that he must not be distracted by these and instead select a woman that suits his House the best. Is this an accurate understanding of the written works you wish to be remembered?

You are certainly helping to come to the realization that an education reform is necessary, along with Master Magpie Grayhope.
There was nothing identified in the Duke's journal about flowers. If there was some confusion about the intention of his statement, it would not be difficult for you to ask for clarification.

Nobles don't have the luxury of choosing flowers, Mistress Mae. We wed for contract and for bloodline, not romance.
Dukes simply have a different criteria in their spouses -- what is best for their House and lineage. Floral variety, alas, has very little to do with it.

Sing me a ditty, sing me a ditty,
Let your voice fill the air till I'm dizzy,
Let your fine song be of your love for me,
Brother dearest, for you have promised me.
Hear me fair Arx, for I have a new tale,
As my oath takes me like leaf in a gale.
My good word was given, honest and true,
I sing of this woman that has touched you.
You saw her run far, you saw her draw much,
Yet I share with you now memory such,
That upon her like the sun's summer ray,
Be light shed upon my dear sister Mae.
Never alone since the start of my life,
She watched over me through danger and strife,
Bought my first lute strings for me as a child,
Refused all payment so long as I smiled.
She was there for me the first time I played,
Though I suspect to high Jayus she prayed,
For my dearest lute to finally break,
Now looking back I'd make my own head ache.
Yet still my sister remained there for me,
Supported the bard I would one day be,
Through word and action, she was everything,
That could make years later her sibling sing.
Sing me a ditty, sing me a ditty,
Let your voice fill the air till I'm dizzy,
Let your fine song be of your love for me,
Brother dearest, for you have promised me.
Though I promised, a true song it must be,
You deserve more than simple melody.
A perfect sister I would never say,
But none could replace you my dearest Mae.

I recently saw that my sister sought a patron. Now I'm usually not the type to do so, my sister being... my sister, but even I, with a sibling's stubbornness, must admit that she does good work.
Artwork, specifically. I'm sure she's awful at everything else, but painting is clearly not one of those things. Really, I'm quite proud of her.
If this is meant for the blacks? What do you think? Of /course/ I want this publicly displayed for all, especially her, to see. What kind of brother would I be if I didn't compliment her openly every now and then?
((Scholar Hartur is not very good at detecting sarcasm.))
