Relationship Note on Reigna
In either case, noble or commoner, these are titles of duties. The only difference is where on the spectrum of servitude you are placed. Whether your scope of personal impact is large, or perhaps your impact is on a smaller, but equally important scope. It is my opinion that all of the subjects of the Compact, from commoner up to the King himself have a responsibility to the greater good of the Compact itself. Nobles who stray from their duties, or commoners who stray from the law threaten to betray that duty and violate this responsibility.
As for your latter question posed, it is my perception that this is indeed the case. From my view point, Commoner and Noble alike have become closer in relation than they naturally would in their home domains.

It was lovely to visit with the Countess Keaton the other day. There are few families as welcoming to friends as the Keatons are, and Countess Reigna's steadfast support of her husband's rule is a credit to Oakhaven, to their Marquessa, Duke Laurent, and all of the Oathlands.

It appears I've finally found reason to shift my long-established ambivalence towards the rabbit race in a particular direction. What a gift.

Relationship Note on Reigna
Countess Reigna, your journal was rife with emotion. It was, entirely, an appeal to emotion. We need not know one another for any one reader, myself or otherwise, to observe that. You concluded the entry concerning Derovai Voss with a statement about respect, which I posit is something of a virtue rather than a hard fact. It struck me that your dispute with Voss was less about what he is asking after than it was the way in which he asked it.
Ignoring everything else going on in this, I shall ask you this: Is it wrong to ask questions, even the ones we personally find offensive or distasteful?

I would just like to take a moment to say that my niece, Reigna Keaton, is a beacon of fierce devotion - to faith, to healing, to the Compact, to her duties, and her family. And I must confess to having a small moment of wanting to tell anyone that questions that to, what is the phrase the youngsters use? Come at me, brother.

There are so many people who deserve praise for their work at Stormwall; it would be impossible for me to recognize them all. However, I would like to draw special attention to the work of Countess Reigna Keaton, Guildmaster of the Physician's Guild, and all those who worked with her. I was forced to ask her to do something extremely difficult, something that goes against every instinct of a healer and a devotee of the gods, but she did it quickly and without question, as did the others with her. Their unhesitating action saved even more lives than just those whose injuries they tended. The healers fought and bled as much as the rest of us and in many cases more. They are all to be commended for their bravery and compassion.

Countess Reigna Keaton, Guildmaster of the Physicians,
You were there at the Battle of Stormwall. You witnessed first hand the damage our enemy caused to House Redrain, allied Compact and Faith forces. Your physicians worked side by side the Mercies to ensure that lives were saved. I can not imagine the carnage if your physicians were not on the battlefield. Even when the enemy stormed the healers' tents, you kept at your duty, letting the Knights of Solace defend you as your people worked around the clock. Please accept my personal thanks for your contributions as well as those of your guild.
Please consider recognizing these caring and compassionate physicians: Lady Olivia Ashford who set up the triage tents and was your right-hand physician during the battle. Petal Penrose assisted the physicians with her nursing skills.
Every Last Redrain appreciates your service.

How lucky I am to share fealty with you, Countess Reigna, and the whole Keaton family. It seems the Oathlands are full of people with giving and generous hearts, something you and your family have shown me numerous times. How proud /I/ am, too, Countess, and humbled by such kind words.

In an effort to be as transparent in my own thoughts as possible, I shall respond as clearly as I can, Countess.
I do not know your husband but from a single meeting, and certainly I have never inquired as to his background. I know him only as Count Kael Keaton, and have been impressed with him upon our meeting. To be as intellectually consistent in my own arguments as I can, I have never thought nor cared to question him in that regard.
If he fits the descriptions I wrote in my previous entry, that is his business and absolutely not mine, in much the same way the children's' ennoblement is the business of Pravus and not ours.

Simply put Countess, House Pravus owes not House Keaton, nor any other house for that matters save one, an explanation. House Velenosa, their liege. And clearly, their liege is fine with it. Pravus will do what Pravus will do, and Keaton will do what Keaton will do. Perhaps being affronted might be better served in blacks? It is a thought. Merely such. And now i have better things to do with my own time. Any correspondence from those whowish to debate with me are welcome to send messengers or come to tea and change my view on this situation.

Countess Reigna sums my views on the matter well. To take a child into one's home and raise and care for them is a show of Gild's charity. But the peerage is a limited group for good and sufficient reasons and to expand it to those who are not born to the honor without exceptional cause uncalled for.
Duchess Belladonna ensures that these children will not be raised by a monster who has forsaken not just Gloria's honor but also the love of the entire Pantheon. For that, she is to be applauded.
But for weakening the peerage, I cannot concur. Countess Reigna no doubt speaks for many, and I find the vigor of the dissent to be perplexing.

I find it hard to understand how one can wish the children well, and in the same stroke of the pen call for consequences against the House that took them in. Those two courses contradict each other.

If we are to assume the best of each other, I daresay you would not assume that I in any way meant to imply that anyone wished to physically harm anyone else. Either you are guilty of not following your own advice, or you use inflammatory accusations to distract from the matter at hand and my own message.
My own message is this: I hope that others would seek to support House Pravus and the children at this delicate time, rather than seek to imply that there might be negative /social/ or /political/ consequences, either brought on by their own hand or that of another. I hope the nobility of the Compact to be capable of rising above such pettiness to support a House's acquisition of a young Lord and Lady in an already strained environment.
What? No scholar, I did not wish to use Princess Agatha's big letters. What is that supposed to mean, my tone implied otherwise?

Whatever consequences may come of House Pravus' decision to take in two children, I should hope that all of the Godly members of the Compact might be willing to come together to support both the family and the children who are, in fact, the ones truly affected by all that has happened. To speak so ominously on the fate of innocents is disconcerting. I should hate to think that people might hold the charity of House Pravus or the innocence of Lord Amir and Lady Aisha against them.

My wife. I am so very proud of her and how much she has grown in the time that I have known her. Sometimes I wonder how much is her growth and how much was my inability to see the truth of her. She has worked hard and tirelessly and I am pleased to see her appointment as the Physician's Guild's Guildmaster. I know that she will give all of herself to this. I know she will give more than she has, at times, as well.
I encouraged her to take the position if she believed she was the correct one for the job. Even as I am proud of her, I mourn the sacrifices that will come: the times where she is away to her duties and me to mine even if not physically apart, the nights apart, and the dangers that arise with such a position.
Yet this is a time of sacrifice for us all.
