Wait, you play? When did you pick up music? How was I not made aware of this?!
No, my being gone for five years is no excuse.

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?

I've been told cats are independant arrogant pricks that care about their master so long as they're fed.
So really so far I think they'd be the perfect fit for me.

I wonder, should I get a dog, or a cat?
Why, you ask, do I set this down in the whites?
Why not? I've just read the last dozen entries, you have no high ground to stand on.

Here, there, a bit everywhere. Possibly out there in the wide world, or maybe I just spent the last five years hidden away somewhere in the Archives, just waiting for the right moment to write a few Whites!

Oh, oh, pick me! I'll spin you a song about utmost abuse and vile persecutors. It'll make you cry your eyes out.
It won't necessarily be true, but does it really matter when one is looking for a commoner persecution poster-boy?

Word to the wise. If you wish to travel to the ends of the world, to lands we have no hope of reaching in our lifetime, might I suggest doing the trip via song? It's safe, guaranteed to reach your destination, and your mind can handle the fantastical sights that await you!
Or, you know, you can swim. Good luck with that.

Relationship Note on Mae
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.

Relationship Note on 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.))

The truly great are so called not by their own words, but by the ones of others. If you were to do it yourself, you'd only look childish. "Look at me, look at me! I'm so great, you should pay attention to me! LOOK AT HOW GREAT I AM!"
Of course, if you are convinced of your greatness and see it unacknowledged by the greater world... Scholar, which God or Goddess is it that encourages humility? It is one of the virtues, right?

Generosity in such times deserve special consideration, but so does those following the precepts of Limerance and the Sentinel, and see agreements held no matter what. Her Grace showed these special traits, while her husband displayed his generosity.

And lo the tyranny of old crones and their cruel, withered hearts!
Let not her youthful facade fool you, this one has seen veritable ages, and spent them all with the desire to crush hearts and souls of the innocent.
Scholars of the future, I beseech you. Never forget this most dreadful of villains.
Never forget Mae.
Sincerely,
An innocent victim
