Relationship Note on Arianna
Also, your defense of this 'inside joke' by claiming that you have risked your life for the Compact and donate money to less fortunate... yes, and so have most of the people that I know. This doesn't make you special or give you the right to be a flippant, empty-headed ninny because you have a 'poor friend'. Perhaps you could stand to do some thinking before you decide to put words out there that might be 'misconstrued'. At the very least, you should see Lady Eirene Malvici to help you remove your slipper from your throat. It has to be painful.

Relationship Note on Arianna
Perhaps if you'd like to engage in 'private jokes' with other citizens of Arx, you can do so in private and not subject the rest of us to the putrescent dribblings that apparently constitute your sense of humor.
Here's a professional tip from me to you, from one person who gives money in large quantity to the Lower Boroughs to another:
If you have to tell everyone how selfless and compassionate and kind your service is and demand recognition for it, it is neither selfless nor compassionate nor kind.

I recommend that anyone who actually feels this way promptly donate their wealth to one of the families in the lowers. I am quite sure they could assist in relieving you of your burdens.

    Gloria, praise be to her name and those that lift their sights towards her radiance for honor and chivalry are the golden aspirations for all peoples of any civilization. It is honorable and just for our betters to address slights among themselves quickly when there is issue rather than allow such matters...even if so small initially, to fester and infect their hearts like a disease of darkness which overtakes them later on. As we've seen here today, the matter is immediately resolved and where there was once discord there now is unity for two to move on so they may continue the fight against the Abyss. We've all heard the phrase 'Call for champions and be done with it!', but we should remind ourselves why this happens.
    Gloria is the goddess for honor and chivalry, and duels between nobility...while perhaps commonplace and often are exceptionally action-packed with brilliant displays of martial prowess rarely seen outside of battles, are always to keep safe the honor of their houses and all those who swear fealty to their lords of which those noble represent. By testing honor regularly through combat on disagreements no matter how slight, we are able to learn and therefore become better people. They fight on our behalf, to protect the collective honor each of you have sworn fealty to. But we must temper this test of fire through the teachings of the Thirteenth so that we might not burn an entire noble house down via a spark of anger between two or more persons on an issue. This, my friends, is what I speak about today.
    When our nobility control their passions and seek out champions to stand in their stead, it shows that our highborn are able to master themselves and not become controlled by reactions and emotions which can often seek to ruin us, that they understand how important each of their decisions and actions are as every footstep they take is one for thousands. They teach us through example which we all should strive to follow. Each of us have honor, we all know the Sentinel watches even when we might think no one may notice when we're tempted to do wrong and He will remember our deeds even if no one else does.
    The Champions are not just an organization of opportunistic thrill seekers or mercenaries jumping to silver, they are an exceptionally important part of ensuring honor is maintained without the opportunity for further bloodshed to happen. We live in a critical time with the Abyss just on the doorstep to Arx, probing everyone and every place for weaknesses to exploit for their ultimate desire to twist all things into a nightmare. Pray that we all learn to temper and master our passions through the Thirteenth and understand that wisdom separates itself from knowledge when we know when to act....and when not to. Thank our nobility for showing us the ways of Gloria and ensuring that we strive to act honorably to all people and in all deeds. May they seek out satisfaction in duels, seek to quell the matter as quickly as possible, but seek to use Champions to mitigate the possibility of further bloodshed. Nobility comes at a high cost, friends, and it isn't how we may perceive as days in luxury, their lives are not their own, their lives are for their fealty and all peoples their sigil represents.
    This is the natural order of things, as each of us have a place in the world and we should with all vigor pursue to be the best in what we are. Let us follow their examples in our day-to-day lives by addressing matters immediately and honorably, and seek out assistance where possible so that we might not ruin a fellow believer of the Faith, for we all fight against the Abyss and our prayers are united against evil. May Gloria bless those who have fought today, and may we all reflect on the Thirteenth to master our emotions so they do not master us.

Fuck it's cold. Southern blood was never made to live anywhere more north than Arx and even then it's cold. I'm the kind of person who likes to sit in the sun and soak it up. The sun, she does nothing here...
I have a decent number of volunteers working with us on the medical line. All ladies. Not that it's bad. I just hope're not squeamish when the blood starts to flow.
