Relationship Note on Claude
…and there you have it, the first productive thing I've done in my life - a cheap wooden bench, crafted by yours truly's own hands. Thanks, thoughts and prayers to Claude, Master of Woodworking, for making something of me when all others have failed.

Now I'm just curious as to what you're referring to.
I agree though.

Relationship Note on Titus
'We all start out the same, with simple naive trust,
Shielded from the many ways that life's not fair or just.
But then there comes a moment, a simple truth that you must face:
If you depend on others, you'll never find your place.
And when you take that first step, on a path that's all your own,
You see it all so clearly, the best way to survive is all alone.'
Read that in a book somewhere, out there. Seems relevant.

It's days like this that make something 'ol Surly said to me once come to mind.
'Permitting private judgements to turn your duty in the smallest manner would be like getting a little bit pregnant - the consequences would very soon get beyond you.'
Thanks, Surly. Totally applicable.

Relationship Note on Swift
Shame. You were one of the family I actually kind of got on with.
Not going to cry or light any candles, but I'll pour one out for you next time I'm in the pub. I mean, I'll drink it, of course - figure that's what you would've wanted - but it's the thought that counts, right?

It's funny how with certain Silks, the self-styled 'I don't see titles, I'm a man of the people' persona evaporates instantly if the Silk in question's not trying to fuck you.

It's truly beautiful, the sheer amount of love some folk've got in them. Some have got so much, apparently, there's almost too much to go around.
Am I journal-ling right, Brother Felix? Has this got the right balance of vagueness, ambiguously bitter sentiment and unspoken cries for help?

Relationship Note on Sydney
It's going to look like I'm white-knighting for my girlfriend here, but screw it, there's at least a small chance you'll take this on board:
What the florist's saying, Red, is that /internally/ in the Lowers, you've got folk that aren't that different to Silks.
Sure, if a Silk decides that a commoner's incurred his wrath, the commoner dies, and it doesn't go the same way if Master Mudshoveler doesn't like the Silk. Which is very sad and not really the point.
That's not news. Revell's point was that among the poor and unwashed, you've got the same issues. There are thugs that put themselves at the top of the dung pile, demanding all the other poor people bend the knee in all but name with the threat of an alley shanking if respect's not due. You really think that the Ulbrans' protection racket's to protect the poor sods paying it from /other/ threats?
There are self-elected authorities in the Lowers who demand respect in just the same way the Silks do. Only difference is the Silks'll hang you, whereas the thugs'll shiv you in an alley and dump you in the pit, minus your boots.

I've mostly stayed out of the feces-flinging lately, but I've been beseeched by a Godsworn to offer Vellichor my thoughts in a White. Who am I to deny a Brother of the Faith?
So, as requested:
- Babies look like deflated pigs' bladders with eyes.
- If it wasn't horrifying, it'd be funny that the various holdings around Arvum are run by overgrown manchildren who feel the need to publicly compare dick sizes by challenging each other.
- An ignoble ennobled noble is almost but not quite as ignoble as a noble who's been noble since birth and still sucks at it.
