Relationship Note on Reigna
"What of you, Arxians? What will you do today to fulfill your promise of potential? Who will you be tomorrow?"
The same person I always am, exercising the same potential as I did the day before. I favor constancy, and I keep my choices consistent.

Relationship Note on Percephon
But why, when nonsense is being petaled? Do we not have an obligation to root out the truth of the matter? I would rather look back on these comments and know I rose to the occasion. Otherwise, it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth, and is not a thorny issue to address.

Relationship Note on Fairen
I speak out of turn, but must observe that you miss the point, as well might he. I'll readily explain it to you but, I think, it's a job done more tactfully in person. Send a messenger if you want a lesson in comportment and civility from Derovai Voss (and may those words never cross a page again).

Relationship Note on Harlan
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.

Puns, you say? With a figurine at the end of it?
I'll have to craft my responses wisely, lest they be sculpted without care. I imagine my pun reputation might grow to be quite statuesque.

Relationship Note on Samael
Lord Bisland:
Thank you for your attention. It's noted.
I take exception only to your phrases "a class" and "the commoners." They imply a fixed state, which does not exist given the precedent of upward mobility (I can think of half a dozen common-born nobles in the city, in various Houses), and a homogeny, which also does not exist. If I said the same about nobility, I have every expectation that half a dozen of our more avid noble journalists would fill up dozens of pages in an effort to show themselves as very different than the rest -- and thus, somehow, the same.
Besides, judge me as you will, Magistrate, but I believe calling me part of "a class" is misguided. I thought the going assumption about me was that I had no class at all!

Relationship Note on Emily
Three out of three. Nicely done. Considered a riddle contest? Many fancy gatherings I've been to seem to have liked those, although I fear the answers to my questions were perhaps a touch obvious. Then again, so were the riddles.

Really, no pearls of wit? I suppose keeping all the puns to yourself really would be shellfish, if you have the intellectual mussel.

Scratch whiskey, Your Highness. I'll go for some of Marquis Mydas' Northern vodka. I bet I'd make it through the third drink today.

Written with more flourish than is strictly necessary, the writer clearly enjoying the missive:
If you need lessons in how to keep your patience, Your Highness, I am a ready volunteer, as I am with Countess Reigna Keaton's attempts to get angry!

Don't go so far into your cups that you can't see out of them. I thought you were a figure of numbers and rationality. Maybe I'll have to revise my opinion.

I live in the Lowers, and I haven't seen you there before. Do you want to have a drink at the Murder of Crows to discuss how to put philosophy into action? Send a messenger. I'll buy.

Relationship Note on Skye
Then you are confident in your archery skills, Baroness. You only need to realize that and be comfortable with the realization. Underestimating what you can do can be just as damaging as overestimating. By the way, I hope you will offer your cartography per my request at the tavern. It is spectacular.

Relationship Note on Silas
It's still better than Rarefied Mountain Princess or whatever that one's called. But we should talk tea sometime in person. Make a brew to my tastes, if you like -- if the Redrain shopkeeper doesn't get there first!
But what is total honesty worth these days? It's the whole that matters, not its parts. The same with tea.

Relationship Note on Valery
Flavors of teas? Blood orange. The variety at the Mercier is described as "tart and bracing," but it's very much to my taste, so to speak. Any of the more delicate varieties full of complexity stop tasting like tea to me, and seem somehow fundamentally dishonest.
