It seems mischief comes with a price and that of mine is to give my dog away for a week to serve as an emotional support pet.

Ashford's First Bovine Grand Prix. The cows were mostly untrained in the art of racing and lacked the will to pursue victory at any costs that include passing up daisies and other wild flowers. Next year, the cows should be better. At least I got to eat a good deal of cheese.

This will hardly be the first day, or the last, that I write or say these words in regards you, cousin; but they are so meaningful to me, today:
Thank you - for our family and for mine.

Thank you, cousin, for trusting me with these rangers. I promise to return them in better condition than I found them and will try not to lose any as we work to become the most elite of lightning attack armies.

I can tell you truthfully of all the objects I have removed or observed being removed from the posterior of patients over the years I have been a healer, only three of them have been sticks, and of those three none were from the Oathlands.

I have taken to generally ignoring the Whites, but it was brought to my attention that my name was recently mentioned among the Duke of Ashford's pages.
Thank you for your compliment, sir. It is received most warmly and gratefully.

My thanks for the welcome! At some point I should seek you out and get caught up. I don't mind that some of the more traditional don't see the value in my particular flavor of trouble!

I would be most pleased to put together an appropriate outfit for a Lycene ball that would suit you, Duke Ashofrd. Only say the word and it will be so.

Duke Ashford,
I would suggest speaking with Duchess Belladonna for outfit advice, or perhaps the Lady Monique Telmar.
Whatever they come up with you will certainly be understated and classy.

Relationship Note on Harlan
When every man died under my command before I was tortured and beaten for weeks on end, when I was returned to Arx a broken and crippled man, when people questioned my strategic decisions, of course I was able to say, you were not there, you have no honor.
In case my sarcasm does not translate through these pages let me further explain.
To silence those who would seek out the truth, simply because they were not there, is the path to foolishness. Perhaps you take issue with certain arguments or tone. Feel free. But to try and eliminate and get rid of the argument whether or not a person was there?
Surely you will not tell our King he has no honor, for questioning why a decision was made, or perhaps our Master of Questions? They were not there. Should they not ask these questions either Duke Ashford?
Or is it simply the people below you who should not question these things?
I have asked many questions about the battle in Stormwall, though I happen to prefer to do so in private, and I certainly hope you will let me have a little honor, my Lord. Just a spoonful of it should do.
Of course I have all the gratitude in the world for those who gave their lives, for those shed blood, for those who protected them. They are heroes of the compact and should be treated with due respect. If you were at the Battle of Stormwall, I owe you a great debt. With all that said, no hero is infallible, and all of us members of the compact should be accountable for our actions.
To be clear I am not weighing in on whatever current uproar there is on the Whites, but I cannot stand idly by when someone lays a curtain down and commands none to look at it, lest they be without honor.

While I understand what caused the sentiment, can I ask you my lord, did you make your sword? Your shield? Did you forge your own armour? Raise your own horse? Train him? Did you bard him yourself? Shoe him? Did you tend to him on the cold nights? Did you grow the food to feed him and you? Did you prepare that food? Did you birth yourself? Did you tend to yourself when you were injured or sick? Did you train yourself?
To not be at the battle is no shame, and of itself says nothing about the honour of the individual. Many men who have strode into battle have then sullied Gloria by their dishonour as well. Each of us have roles to play in life, for some it calls us to battle, for others it takes us in different directions. My own Grandmaster was not at the battle, he stayed with our troops left to guard Arx from possible attack by second attacks or diverted defeated forces. Would you say he has no honour, my lord? Because I suspect you would need to fight a good many thousand honour duels from my Brothers and Sisters to satisfy such a claim, and that seems like a fine waste of time for all.
In anger to protect those we feel comradship with, we can often make errors. But we should be careful when we are great lords, for our words have an impact far beyond the simple words of men like myself.

After implying that women are "natural things" and to be judged by dint of their attractiveness, I think you'll find very few people in the city will have questions for you at all, Your Lordship.
None grater, indeed, although I also note that, at present, that pun seems to be limited to one Ashford and not the rest of the Grayson lineage.

Do you mean, Duke Harlan, it's easier to have an arranged marriage than to choose which pretty, useful flower you wish to pluck from the bed of flowers that is the pool of noblewomen in the Compact?
Or is it that the flowers read your words and now do not wish to be plucked?
