Relationship Note on Joscelin
If they are unworthy of your art, deny it to them. Your clientele is entitled to nothing of you that you do not choose to give. If this makes it hard for you to have bread

in your own warm bedroom,
the old-fashioned death of a Lowers woman in labor,
who tries to close herself again
but cannot.
The ancient darkness to which you also gave birth
returns to your bedchamber,
and enters.

Relationship Note on Arcadia
Even if the claim you make of the spear being gone for were true, you yourself wrote specifically to comment on a heated disagreement in the moment, which would suggest an impulse borne of momentary passion, and certainly the exact /opposite/ of planning.
About lives? Yes, all of them matter equally, slave, slaver, commoner, noble, poet, knight, they are all lives and all sacred. Does that excuse slavery? No. Does that disregard the suffering of those enslaved? I would also say no - in fact, the very position that all lives are sacred and equal is one that makes any act of slavery inexcusable.

That would mean we had essentially allied ourselves with one side or the other.
That would mean war.
In order to remain neutral, we must rebuff any offer from either side and continue to strike forward on our own path, or else we will find ourselves in the position of both being indebted to one side and antagonizing the other. I am not sure why this is such a difficult concept for so many to understand, but independence means independence. We made a difficult decision, but now that we have made it, let's not immediately undermine it the first chance we get.
I do hope that everyone who spoke considered the effects your words might have on the Emissary from the Undying Empire. I hope that each and every one of you considered the weight of the information that was going out, the nature of who was listening to it, and what that might mean. I hope that all of you are ready to deal with the consequences for everything which you have said.
Somehow, I suspect you haven't, and I suspect you aren't. There is a certain inevitability to a few paths of our future, but the speed at which those happen has just been rapidly increased.
Do not underestimate them.

Firstly, the primary purpose of a question is not to score a point against the person you're addressing in most situations. Show them all due respect and consideration while making your (hopefully concise) inquiry in accordance with any formalities expected, such as waiting your turn. Comport yourself with some dignity, even if you find their opinions repugnant and their replies not to your liking. You needn't pitifully lavish anyone with empty flattery for the privilege either, just be civil and mannered. If they don't reciprocate, disengage.
If emotions run too high, excuse yourself from the discussion. Try not to shout wild accusations or insults before running from the vicinity, attempt to loudly judge or blame the other person for something not in their control, stroke the pommel of your sword menacingly, sigh disdainfully or mutter invective, take an overtly aggressive posture towards them, or interrupt the conversation with a cry of outrage or an appeal to the crowd for support. If you have been personally insulted somehow, calmly demand apology or satisfaction in a proper duel if the slight is a severe one.
And there you are, by following these simple suggestions you too may become decorous and others may better enjoy your company! How keen.

It is my Jayus-given right to follow my inspiration, and if you don't inspire me, I'm less likely to create for you. Kindness, compassion, patience, understanding, these things can inspire me. I will still do great work for the brusque and the professional, and still be inspired by them. But rudeness, cruelty, disrespect, none of those things make me want to work with you.
Put plainly: don't do this. Noble or commoner, don't do this. Pay what we're worth, and we are worth the effort and the time. My days as Guildmaster are numbered but if you rouse the ire of enough of us, we are a force when we work together. We have proved this again and again in times of crisis, and we support each other in our efforts to create and earn a living. We also -discuss- these things, clients who continue to attempt to pit us against each other, suggest they can find better prices not because they want to take their business elsewhere, but because they want us to submit to the demands that are being made of us.
We remember and we talk about it with each other. Please, treat us well and encourage others to do the same. We as artists pour more of ourselves into the smallest bit of work than most would know, we carry with a tradition that borders on holy to some and beyond to many.

If we were to hang a single thread from an archway, we would not notice much. Some would even say that is insignificant. But perhaps we add another, and another. Upon each thread we place a weight, some light, some heavy.
More and more that keystone must bear. What becomes of those threads if it ever crumbles?
