I think we make a pretty good team. Probably on account of the names.

I can't believe you ripped that letter right out of my hand. I really need to brush up on my hand to hand combat skills. I won't be caught unawares next time!

I'm so glad we've had a chance to reconnect, especially considering our shared experiences. It doesn't hurt to have a tiny glimmer of fun in our lives when the rest of the world is so dark, and I'm grateful you share that view. I have every faith you will continue to lead with the strength and grace you always have.

Note to self: Get really, really drunk before you go to any Oathlands dinner so you're emotionally ready for all the spoons.

Slavers in the Oathlands? Of course, I am going to help remove them however I am able.

Apropos of nothing in particular, I am very proud of my older sister. She has worn the title of Highlord with grace, steadfastness, and a commitment to not only the defense of the Oathlands, but the betterment of life for its people as well. I thank the gods and especially the Sentinel for gifting me a sister whose heart seeks what is just.

I was going to write an amusing remark about forks and etiquette lessons. But it doesn't seem fitting to joke about a subject our High Lord is so skilled at, especially when she's being so gracious with her time.

Her Grace, Princess Alis Valardin, entrusted me with the creation of an alaricite blade. I always hope to do my very best with every weapon I make, of course, but it was especially important in this case. I have known Her Grace since coming to Arx over a decade ago, and it's little secret my affection and loyalty to both her and Prince Edain. I wanted to tell just the right story, to weave the past with the future somehow on the sword. It's hard to explain. To be honored to craft a blade for her is one that I can't put into words, really, and I hope what she now holds will serve to protect and defend her in whatever battles dare cross their path.

High Lord Alis Valardin. You have in title what you have always had in spirit. How blessed we are to have you.

When you mention Duke Arn Telmar, it reminds me of a day when my father had brought me along to one of the meetings between High Lord Radley and the leaders of his ducal houses. Duke Arn was on a tear about something, I can't remember what anymore. But what I do remember is my father, sitting there, watching him. His expression was impassive, but under the table he was tapping his index finger against the arm of the chair. He was just patiently waiting for the screed to come to a conclusion before he spoke. You couldn't tell that what had happened was upsetting to him at all.
But that was always his tell, the tapping. It meant that he was getting increasingly aggravated with Duke Arn.
Later on, I could hear but not make out, the angered mutterings about the meeting while he was talking to my mother. Always done behind closed doors, always where the children didn't hear. Where the servants would have less of a chance to take an irritated comment as something to blow up into a larger, juicier gossip. He maintained a polite, cordial relationship with the Telmarch the entire time he was duke.
I think of moments like that sometimes when I'm becoming annoyed. Not to say that I'm annoyed now. Duke Ansel is really quite a nice man.

Princess Alis is an excellent co-host of meetings.

I did leave in the option that it could have applied there in the recent few years! I would not know!

I can confirm that there is no such stick. At least, if there is, it is a development within the past few years.

You should have him tell you about the time Uncle Muiryn took all of the cousins out on a hunting trip, and bears got into all of the food supplies and the only thing they had left was whiskey.
But maybe don't tell him it was my idea.

I do enjoy a sparkling White from time to time. I am not sure I have tried the Oathlands fare, but I do know I enjoy Oathlands Whiskey too. While there are a many knights and others who do forswear alcohol, it is by no means universal. Some of my favorite drinking partners are from the Oathlands.

I don't believe they are the same. If I remember Prince Edain's proclamation correctly, the butt you have disturbs him, while my ass has four legs.

The Highlord was the butt of a joke, hmm? I need to see it.
