Relationship Note on Talen
Please accept a correction on my earlier note. I'm the youngest of three children. Romulius and Dycard would not be pleased if they heard me claiming to be the oldest.

Relationship Note on Talen
Congratulations on the birth of your twins. I am sure in the coming years, you will appreciate the joy and wonder of being a parent to three children. This journey is not for the faint of heart. While I only have one child, I can tell you as the oldest of three children, some of the potential pitfalls you might want to avoid when dealing with your expanded brood:
First, understand that one of them always gets away with it because it's two against three. While you might think their chaotic warring means that they hate each other. They do but they hate parental authority more, which means temporary treaties will be made when it is a goal that all three can agree on. When they are all quiet and there is no fighting, they are plotting against you or executing one of their diabolical plans. Silence is not your friend.
Second, the 'good' one always gets the least attention, because they're in trouble less. Don't let that child slip through the cracks for the more disobedient children. The 'good' one is the master manipulator who is plotting your defeat. The obvious ones are the cannon fodder of your master general. This is the child you want to make your heir. This is the child you have to stop at all costs.
Third, get a big dog, yes you can talk to Count or Countess Keaton on this, and train them to help you herd. Cause when they run in three different directions, you need an body or in this case maw to capture the remaining troublemaker.

This is what you get for calling me fat repeatedly.
I feel vindicated.

I lived next to you for most of your 'courtship' and I'm pretty sure I heard the conception of my nephew from clear across the city.

Mauls, wood axes, and tool hammers have a lot of heft to them, but are too short and slow for fighting.
A warhammer or mace is better. Course, if they're tied down, suppose it doesn't matter.

This is why one should always wear their armor at all times. Yes, all times. You're a Velenosa, I'm sure you can figure a way to pull it off.

Relationship Note on Talen
I am not dramatic. I am just right. Also it not my fault that my DEAREST cousin is lacking in what he provides. The shame tarnishes my beating heart with each non-dramatic moment. I long for the days where the whiskey flowed free and he just knew that it should be waiting. Ahhh.. the poor man. I wonder if he has gone soft in his position. I find myself non-dramatically longsufferingly sighing in the wake of his name. Once a good drinking partner, now just another man speaking politics. My heart it bleeds. It mourns. --- I still don't have whiskey.

It's good to have friends who just get it. Eleyna and Talen both are a power couple that I'm glad to call friends, they make shifting through the bullshit much more sane.
Just wish they would stop giving my wife ideas of what to throw. Shit is EXPENSIVE, Velenosa.

It should be noted that no, as the Archduke/Prince Consort, that you cannot indeed, slip up and occasionally punch someone in the face. I taught you better. I taught you so much better. You sit there and you say "Delightful" or "That's nice" or "Your advice is so noted" and you smile at them.
And you imagine it in your mind, time and time again until the urge has been sublimated.

I'm going to ask that he declare my cat the fairest animal in all of Arvum and that she is much better at killing rodents than your snake. Which by the way, we heard what it did to our gifted spider.
