Relationship Note on Calaudrin
I reckon there are some things a person can let go and there are others that just bug you until you know you can't let go. That's when you gotta deal with it. So, Uncle Cal, thanks... for everything.

Relationship Note on Calaudrin
Meaningful choice should not always be easy, and often the just and righteous path is harder to take - especially knowing the difficulties it places. The difference is whether you place emphasis on the outcome of the choice or the principle of it I suppose. Gloria commands that we are righteous in our actions, that we are at our heart good and virtuous. The outcome to her is not as important. That is not to say she does not care, for I am sure Gloria cares deeply about good defeating evil, but that it is not what she asks of us. To fail honourably 100 times is better than to succeed any number of times through poor behaviour. And in that, when the outcome is removed, you are left with a choice in the earlier example. Freedom or Enslavement. And then, the choice is easy, is it not?
But, as you touch on Brother, reality is harder when your life is based in the secular world. When others lives bear on your choices. And we should always leave room for us to understand why people make choices that we feel are wrong.

A choice to die free to to die a slave I would say is a choice, a meaningful choice, even if we dislike the outcomes. However, it often takes you making many other choices to reach those points - but it is correct that people should be offered always a chance to seek a better path as far as we can. Still, we cannot fully dictate what choices we will be offered, nor can we decide what consequences we will face, what other choices others will have to make in response to that.

Laughter helps to sooth an anguished soul! You're providing and invaluable public service!
Everyone should laugh with Calaudrin. Or at least try to laugh with him. I suppose it's up to him to decide if he actually wishes to laugh also.

I got to see Uncle Cal today! Damn I missed him. Best sense of humor I ever ran across. I sure am glad Aunt Esoka sees it too.
Alright, enough for now. Dot's hungry and for that matter, I am too.

Relationship Note on Calaudrin
I don't really know that much about being married, even though I am now. I haven't been for very long, and I'm a commoner besides, so no treaties or alliances are in the balance over it. I will say, though, that marriage wasn't something I entered into lightly. I was lovers with this man for near two years and I expect, if being in love was all we'd wanted, we'd have kept on like that. We wanted vows before the gods, though, and to honor our commitments to each other in a way that'd make Limerance proud. We wanted to be eachother's family, eachother's tribe, through the good times and the terrible ones. And I'll say, I wed with no intention of ever breaking that oath, even if it is a simpler matter for a commoner. If Calaudrin Estardes and also Greenblood ever tires of me, that'll just be too bad, because we've decided to stick with each other. Even on the hard days, I'd have it no other way.
One thing I'll say about marriage. I thought I knew this man as well as I could know anyone. And I loved him, which isn't a luxury some get when they join another. But every time I think I've figured him out entirely, he does something to surprise me. Like, when he's out on an expedition that comes upon an orphanned girl, scavenging for food. And he takes her in and sees to it that she has a good meal and a place to sleep. I pray we can find what might remain of her tribe and kin, but she's safe and warm now because of this man. And I love him even more than I did yesterday, in a way I never expected. So I'll keep this marriage thing and thank Limerance for all the large and small blessings it brings to my life.

I confess: As a voice of a ducal house, I am not one much to travel to the Lower Boroughs.
But for my friends in House Riven (and at the prodding of my wife, Monique), I made the journey. The Riven Brandy that Guardsman Calaudrin prepared was quite something. A strong proof and with the taste of fresh pears picked straight from the trees, I would say that it is a true gem among the liquors that are found in the Crownlands.
As I feared, my coin purse was lifted during the event. And yet it was returned by the end.
Hm.

Just like beauty, humor is in the eye of the beholder. And Master Magpie may not always have politically correct humor but he is a man not to be underestimated or discounted.
Consider your words before attacking another. Discuss your vehement dislike of a prank but avoid insulting a man until you visit his home and break bread with him.

Nope, sometimes jokes aren't funny.
This one was, though.
If I had sold them in my shop as collectables I'm fairly sure people would have bought them.
You should see the squirrel couch I sold.
