Relationship Note on Silas
My Beloved Silas,
The best memories I had in this life were the ones spent with you. I can freely admit that, because that is the truth, even when we were almost dying. My heart always soared in your presence and you could keep the tear from my eye. With a touch to my cheek, all would be right with the world. You allowed me to always be who I was and without judgement for it. You encouraged me to be whom I was and you risked wealth and reputation upon one of my biggest ventures, the Mews... You were always my hero. I will take your favour into this battle and wear it fondly.
My biggest regret, is that I was never allowed to call you my Husband. That was a story restricted from us, by the bonds of duty and faith to one's family. It hasn't been all bad since, it's been different though. If I could do it all over again, I may have stayed the course we chose, but you know, I always wished to live at your side. I always wished we could arrive together at parties, proud of it, smiling as we used too, when we were younger men. Perhaps my second biggest regret is that I didn't hug you enough, kiss you enough, lounge in bed with you enough. There will be never enough of those moments.
Should something happen to me, this war, know that I never stopped loving you, not for one moment. You made this city a home for me, because you were in it. Without you, I would've left back to Bastion years ago. You held me here, in a way only a man I love, could.
Yours, always, and forever,
Your Bird Prince.

When he gives a gift, he gives some detailed gifts. The smallest of them is adorably cute. There was considerable effort put into this joke. I mean gift, of course.
It has earned a place on the mantle in my study. There it will reside with the strange, but flattering paintings and all the rest.

It is a pleasure to be back in the city, and an even greater pleasure to be working under Baron Silas once more. I quite missed the place.

My father used to say, there's two kind of fighters. (Though, to be fair this is extremely simplifying matters, there's still a kernel of truth to it.)
1. Those that kill fast.
2. Those that die slow.
I'm more of the latter.

Improvised weaponry like broken pottery shards can save a life in dire circumstances. The lessons with the King's Own taught me that -- and saved my life.

As the military liason to the Iron Guard for House Redrain, I've had an opportunity to work with Baron Silas. But one does not appreciate his skills until you get to fight side by side with him at the Grand Melee in the Tournament of Roses.
You'll probably laugh but during the fight, what drew me to his side was that sudden realization of 'he made my bedroom set' flashed through my mind. I couldn't leave the man that delivered my favorite wedding gift unprotected.

Relationship Note on Silas
Lord Commander, it may shock you to learn that the Scholars are not the Templars and the Templars are not the Scholars. Even if we accept your point that you were not told of your own traitors as though this were a similar occasion - indeed I do not recall any purge of the Iron Guard in advance of rebellion, I mostly recall rebellion - no Templars were involved, we are separate to the Scholars, a different discipleship. Why were we not informed at least, if indeed they mistakenly felt they could not speak to the Archscholar? Why did those undertaking this risk the fact that conflict could have broken out had a Templar come across the seemingly random violence against a Scholar? Does the thought of those under the sigil of the Crown engaged in bloody conflict with those under the Faith not scare you? Are you so blasé about such risks that you just do not care? The ends justify the means I am sure some will say - such thoughts lead you down the path of men like Abbas and of Marach.
You say you will stand with the Crimson Blades, fight with them, even during this period - in that you choose working with them over the Templars. It is a choice, of course, one you are free to make. But even if we ignore the questions of right and wrong and take this as a practical matter, it might suggest to the King he needs at least a Lord Commander with the basic skills in mathematics. To forsake working with a military order numbering over 100,000 across Arvum for one numbering at most a few thousand seems military planning on a level of trying to lick a Shav Warlord to see if that would work. Especially when you the Crimson Blade commandant undertakes her atonement, with grace and honour that may well see her emerge with greater respect from the Faith Militant even if we cannot quite forget, so you could simply have stayed out of the matter.

This is the proper way to address the concerns of Marquessa Dominique Wyrmguard. Not whatever was going on in the city center.

How dare you, my child is a -delight-. She sleeps and coos and she has the most beautiful black curls.
If you were talking about -me-, good luck with that. Also I'll be coming by to terrify your whole barracks with cake or something.

I woke up the other day to find two guards watching over me. Following me to make sure that I am kept safe. I do believe that my darling cousin is being a little extra protective these days. I appreciate such kindness. He looks out for me so wonderfully.

Transparent lying when called to account for yourself _is_ rather stupid, though, isn't it? I have never understood the tendency of some people to pretend others overreact to a joke. It's unworthy snidery.
If I ever pretend something shitty I said was a joke, I am recording now in my whites that my permission is given for me to be socked in the face. I have to do this because the Grandmaster thinks I need two templar knights as escort everywhere I go now.

So you need to fix Silas' last white.
I know that isn't how it's done.
You should do it.
It should be, "Dogs are always the best."
Go on, fix it.
