Relationship Note on Sparte

Hello, Officer Sparte (again)!

I've seen your Whites. I think perhaps Wilhelm has the wrong idea of the matter entirely. But I'll move the box to be an offering. I don't think it would be very practical in the wall, but it's very pretty. It's a small cigarillo tin, so no, there are no jewels in it, and I don't think there ever were.

I was sent a message asking why I asked your opinion rather than making an executive decision on my own, so I'll let you know my thoughts on that too. I think that, since the wall was your inspiration, it's only right to ask your opinion. I mean, I don't want to stifle that inspiration, and it seems to me that whatever sight you dreamed of when you saw this wall full of everyone's painted stones in offering should be nourished. It's only right. That doesn't mean I have to take your opinion unless I agree with it, though, which is the part I think people miss about inquiries like that.

To Lady Monique, who left that cigarillo tin: I'm afraid it will have to be moved, but I'll give it an honorable place within the Shrine. Maybe you might want to paint a rock echoing the design of the tin? Send me a message and let me know, and I'll gladly have paint ready. We've gotten a good deal of rocks so far, but none from people who were at the talk about rocks, so if you'd like to be the first -- were you at the talk? -- that would be kind of you.

Hello, Officer Sparte!

I'd send you a message, but it's probably clearer for the Compact at large if I make it visible in my Whites and follow up with a proclamation of some sort: are things besides stones acceptable offerings for the wall at the Shrine of Jayus? I received a lovely tin from a hopefully new friend. I'm not sure if it can be used to build anything, but it was sincerely offered, so I hope we can make some use of it.

Is it beats or beets? Isn't 'beats' another term for a guardsman's route? Or...

Don't listen to my sister. Exercise to forget. It leads to passing out just like drinking. You wake up the next day aching. It spends a lot more energy and improves your body.

I said the same to a man named Eshkorin of Greenblood, when I was nearabouts your age. Different words in a different tongue in a different world, but even so.

I'll pass on what he told me, all them years ago:

If you find a trick to manage it, do let me know.

Speaking of which, I announced your idea at the destruction of the Shrine of Jayus! I hope people have contacted you regarding it. For those of you who were not there, Sparte had the wonderful idea of people dedicating building materials at the Shrine to Jayus, if they could not themselves build it. Please contact him or me and we'll keep track of the dedications as the new year progresses.

People seemed to like the idea, I think!

Actually... and here is where I will part of the secret of the creation of seasilk... drape it on a line, or hang it loosely as the case may be, and let it dry in the sun and wind. Once the garment is dry, apply just a little steam to allow the fabric to loosen back to its luxurious state.

What, you didn't think the striation of color was -all- in the dyes, did you? The sun is key!

Air dry it for sure! Try to keep it out of direct sunlight though, the colors will fade faster.

I fully support you learning more about seasilk.

Blanks are the easiest of all things to draw. They leave everything open for more possibilities with their endless empty space.

If you want art lessons, I suggest my cousin Tabitha. She is amazing.

I think that the ideals you put forth are admirable ones. The goal of open debate and exposure to opposing thought is a necessity in a free society. The issue I think, is that, as it stands, the Salon had a reputation of being... somewhat... Mean and indolent. There have been multiple requests or interest shown in seeing the results of the debates archived and the response had been dismissive at best, and rude when pressed. They are often spoken of in association with excessive drinking and loudness. They are not always done much in advance and have had spurious or vindictive topics seemingly to publicly shame someone. I found myself the target of one such event held. So, if these issues were addressed I think we could move into a place where they might become more inviting and thus, more popular.

I view the world in little space,
Am always changing place;
No food I eat, but, by my power,
Procure what millions do devour.

What am I?

An interesting phrase has passed my attention in a text somewhere recently:

What we are never changes, but who we are never stops changing, despite how we might try to stop it.

You are a true friend...

... This gift is a great kindness. The painting of Lord Estaban Saik will never come close to replacing what he brought to my life and what he brought to the lives of those around him, yet, someday instead of tears, I'm sure it'll bring a smile to my face.

Thank you.
