Today I watched one nobleman accuse another nobleman of besmirching a noblewoman. Apparently the one called the lady stupid?
After losing the duel, the offender repeated how stupid it all was, and how the lady lacked common sense.
I seem to recall duels being settled a bit different in the Oathlands. And I seem be saying "things are different in the Oathlands" a lot.
I'm beginning to feel like a bit of a hayseed. This big city living...

Except that even on the allowance of a Grayson Princess, I'm not sure I could afford it. . .

"I'm going to go take a shit, be back later." And so he would. I impart this wisdom onto you, Lady Stonewood. May it help in your future discussions that turn loud and unsavory.

Harald Grimhall, Duke of Gri'helm's Point. Lord Faelan Navegant. Defenders against the storm.
They were the blessing of Gloria incarnate upon that battlefield. If they had fallen, it would have been an end for song and story. And yet they _lived_. They lived to fight again, to defy the Abyss another day.
Bless you both.
I am humbled. I am grateful. And I yet live.
Some debts can never be repaid. This one will never be forgotten.

Do I regret it though? Fuck no I don't. Maybe once every blue moon, when I don't need to make sure I'm mobile in the morning.
I'm told that knights of the Oathlands also do rigorous exercises in order to burn away what the sizzling-sweet shit does to your body. I have to think if they just skipped the bacon entirely they'd be the Compact's greatest warriors, but it seems like that's some sort of heresy in those parts. I can see why. If someone told me they didn't like to spear their own octopus on the table while it tries to escape the hunter with fork and knife, I'd believe they were pretty fucking weird too.

    Using the weakness of others for personal gain places another link of corruption on the soul. Forgive, uplift and grow.

I am sincerely hoping that someone who is friends with this child takes away her pen and hides it for a day or two.

Seriously, stop...think about it, let that soak in. No one cares. This is the last time I'll write about this for your reading pleasure, because I did this for you. (Thank me later those who know who you are). For everyone else, excellent work out there fighting the good fight. Liberating the Shav and Abandoned Coalitions who needed our soldiers. Thank you to the people who work tirelessly restoring order to the realm. Thank you to the people who have mended wounds, stitched on limbs and performed the real miracles of healing. Thank you to the common people who know my heart and have spent time with me in the past week organizing the projects that will provide free healthcare and a tuition free public university! Thank you to the people whom are working into the wee hours of the morning making sure that the Gods protection is extended all across Stonewood lands and beyond. Thank you. This is what I live to write about, and this is what matters.

I did see you talk down to shopkeep whose home had just burned down across from my then-home at the Murder. Didn't miss that.
Oh wait, I'm a Grayhope commoner, not a Culler commoner, and I don't count.
Carry on.

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.
