Relationship Note on Bliss
The indication of a truly sophisticated individual lies in their ability to engage with a wide array of culture while withholding judgment. You'll have to pry the color yellow, coronets, and fur-lined ankle-booties out of my cold dead fingertips. Deal with it.

Relationship Note on Bliss
Today I received a challenge to a duel. Ultimately, it was my great pleasure to be able to work with one of the finer Champions living: Bliss of the Whisper House. Blisscipline, Blissful, Blisscious, Blissciples(feel free to call yourselves that, fan club).
The agreement made between Champion Bliss and myself, it immediately caused a memory to flood back into my mind. A journal entry that I could only describe as the distant past. It was both a fond and sobering memory, all at once.
Long have I been a fan of the Whisper and Champion known as Bliss. Long have I appreciated her talents and been proud of her ability to work a crowd. She dances so delightfully from deadly to worthy of adoration to so much more with expert precision. For those few reasons and many more, I have always been a fan of the Champion Whisper and will be for a great while longer.
How was this recollection sobering? When I espoused the virtues of Bliss in that journal, I had also mentioned that were it not for my already having a capable defender in the form of then-Lady Kima Saik that I would turn to Bliss Whisper for all my duelist needs. It's a true tragedy that my working with Bliss had to be preempted by the death of a close friend and protector.
Tragedy happens and there is no changing that. The future is ahead of us all and we must embrace the unfortunate events in life, if only to endure them or to improve them. I choose to perceive this as an opportunity to work alongside an equally impressive person as my Sword was and look forward to seeing Bliss defend my honor and the proper identification of alcohol henceforth!
Her victory with be both righteous and swift.

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!

It's interesting on how you feel that it's your duty as a Whisper to correct others for their behavior in a public forum. I was not aware this public service was one of House Whisper's offerings. I was under the impression it was the duty of a liege to correct their vassal.
Please note that I have the utmost the respect for many of the members of Whisper House. I have found their grace, elegance, and diplomatic talents to be above par. However, your need for discord and talent for escalating a situation does nothing to garner etiquette. It makes a bad situation worse. In truth, I find it to almost be a bit bullying at times. When you potentially benefit by being called to Champion a situation you escalated, I wonder if said peer of the realm might have a civil suit against the Champion's Guild.
Because if you're tasked with defending honor, is it fair to besmirch the object of their ire, consequently escalating to a duel that could lead to financial benefit to yourself? I'm not really sure. I certainly think it might be something for the legal minds of this city to ponder.
Disclaimer: I have no potential financial benefit in posting this journal. I am just rather fed up with this individual's actions. This is not at all reflective on my deep respect for the Whisper House or the Champion's Guild. Nor does it reflect the feelings of Redrain on such institutions. I am expressing my thoughts as an individual, single prodigal that is questioning the behavior of another individual.

Relationship Note on Bliss
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.

I have refrained from commenting on this until I have given it some thought. Now, I feel that I must say something.
I fail to see how it is any of your business if my brother chooses to decline a duel with the Marquis Fairen Leary, Bliss Whisper. Your comments are an affront, crude and unbecoming of a Whisper. How dare you insult my brother's honor by implying that he runs away from a fight? How dare you make the intimate details of your sex life fodder for the Whites?
Such behavior is not to be tolerated, and I have seen enough here to know that despite what my brother chooses to do or not do, your comments are extremely disrespectful and uncalled for. I had considered challenging you over it, but I shall not stoop to challenging one of common birth. I shall instead make it known for all to see that you have taken to petty and snide comments to antagonize my brother over whatever bitter resentment you hold toward him as a result of your failed attempts to lure him into some romantic entanglement, only to drop him when you lose interest.
Cease antagonizing my brother, or there will be consequences. Your position as a Whisper does not give you license to show such disrespect to a member of my family.

It's my understanding that if a duel is won, then the winner is the correct side of the disagreement? Whichever it was?
I say this as having lost a duel that Luca fought on my behalf, and no matter how wronged I felt I was, I made my apologies to the victor without question.
Isn't that still how it works?

I went and looked. If it were anyone else I'd suggest you just read it, because it's good advice.
The last thing YOU need to worry about is being boring, though.
You really don't need the advice. I can't help but feel like we should make pamphlets out of her entry and leave them on a table in the reception room, though. As a helpful tip.

I have never had to treat a wound that involved one's own initials having been carved into another person's legs. It is certainly one of them ore interesting injuries I've come across since joining the Silver Order.
I extend my gratitude to Seraph Ailith for healing Champion Bliss, and also recommend plenty of bed-rest until one gains an L-shaped scar.

First official duel has been completed. It did not go at all as I was expecting after the trouncing Mistress Bliss gave me in the recent tournament. I've actually been dreading the duel all week, expecting a repeat.
In a reversal of my usual bad luck.. which led to her winning before with myself knocked unconscious, I missed several times in a row and then stuck a lucky blow that did far more wounding than intended, but I won! Just wanted this in the books, in case my bad luck returns and it never happens again.
Bliss is an incredible fighter and I know this was more luck than skill on my part, but I'm going to keep training and one day, I'll win because I'm better.

Is there anything that Bliss Whisper /can't/ do? Duels! Help run the Whisper House! Throw an incredible party! Dance the waltz /and/ the Lycene tango!
It really is incredible. The only thing as incredible was her date, the great Elgana Redrain. A power pairing, if you ask me.

Our Champion, and now my newest softest Whisper. She has been doing very well with the King's new project, and I am encouraged she will do wonderfully in other new endeavors now as well.
