Do those that I value know that I value them? I say the words, but I ((crossed out, but not so well it cannot be seen: suspect I may)) have been negligent in making it known through my actions. Not in all cases, but in at least several that I can think of. This needs addressing.
I hope that this lesson sticks.

I have learned that to love another, I must first love myself. As selfish as that may seem.
I have learned a great deal in my short years in this turn. I don't know that I have ever had another turn, and if so, whether I would want the influence of knowing. But I know that I have been loved in the past. Deep and abiding. I am loved in the present, just as abiding. I will love in the future, many. Would that all who read this, know that they are loved. Deep. Abiding.

Again, the next person who implies my dead brother did not love his own siblings enough to leave them something will be challenged. The end. I had no problem telling you right to your face that were it not for Edain being the one you were dealing with this evening, I'd have had you thrown out of the Manor and told you were not welcome anymore. So do not think for a moment that you are making a cogent point, Your Grace.
You and your wife both rightfully owe us an apology for your insult and your conduct this evening, but because of your station I did not demand it. But I did make sure nobody else will make the same mistake without knowing in advance that I will not suffer such an insult in silence again.

No apologies are necessary, I believe you perceived a critique where none originally existed. Now, however, I must chide your choice of words, your implication that thoughtful discussion on the nature of our gods is merely ethereal. You speak (in my inferrance, naturally) as though contemplation and understanding of our Faith is not relevant to our daily lives. That it is not as important as other matters, or has no bearing on our choices. This is false.
You also seem to be implying that as a noble my time is idle, rather than busy with more pressing matters. This again, is very false. Though I note you did at least, include the possibility of being wrong.
I do not ask you to bow to me or my wisdom, but I do think you should consider, or reconsider, the importance of the gods in your daily life. Their wisdom should guide us all. Your wit and humor are yours to point in whatever direction you wish. Those unable to handle disagreement or challenge are often those who are insecure in their beliefs. Not always, but in my experience I have seen this frequently.
Regardless. I would hope that you consider my words, idle and ethereal though they may be.

The exact words used, in reference to an item that your brother passed on were, "He gave it to her without a thought to anyone else.". I made this statement while you were implying what /you/ wanted done with this item. The implication was not that your brother didn't love you enough, nor that your brother didn't think of you, nor anything because I didn't know the man. What I was getting across was "The man made his choice, respect his choice". I did not think it worth disputing how a man's final wishes should be handled.
If you take problem or offense to me, say it to my face. Don't parade it out here for everyone else to see so we can make a big dramatic show of it. It ain't mature and it ain't becoming of someone in your station to speak about the ones you call allies underhandedly like this. It's a misunderstanding and we can move passed it.

Not to say that certain members of the Faith wouldn't be tempted to make similar remarks regarding the Thirteenth's (and the Sentinel's) all-seeing natures. Definitely not me though.

I hope you'll forgive my attempts at humour, poor as they were. Some of us have more pressing matters occupying our thoughts, we might forget how serious and dire a topic this is for those with (perhaps) more idle time to ponder the ethereal.
As always, I bow to the wisdom of my betters. I'll endeavor to keep my wit aimed at less sensitive topics, perhaps.
Of course He knows all and sees all. Why, only a fool would argue against that!

Mira had one of those apples that loosen the tongue. I think she was embarrassed the next morning at the stuff she said, but I thought it was delightful. The party was about dropping your guard! Mira definitely did that and none would hold it against her.

If you have the address for this omniscient, all-knowing fellow, could you happen to let him know I'd like a chat?
There's a few questions I'd like to run by him. Work-related, you understand.
Really, this is sillier than all those people telling me 'all the best detectives wear caps' lately. Has someone slipped something into the city water supply since last time I was here?

That sounded far more ominous than I'd intended it to be.
I just meant that hangovers are imminent.
