Relationship Note on Khanne

You needn't guess, it's been mentioned in the Whites by my very-excited-husband.

Relationship Note on Aureth

All things being equal Legate, I'd wager there has at least once been a war started over someone being served a flavor of pudding they did not prefer.

I should offer a reward to a scholar that could find evidence of such a war. Now I am curious.

This is actually rather brilliant. I'll remember this.

Relationship Note on Aureth

Oh dear. Should I start telling the story about how I asked you to slap me once and it was just ... sadness? Weakness-flavored kitten-smack? Velvet-covered knuckle-brushing? I can do this voluntarily, because, you know, that's what friends do. We help.

No?

I would like to talk about my training.

As many know I train for free. I am the most able to offer lessons in the art of combat and warfare.

Unfortunately, I have limited time to give lessons and I have many more people asking than I have the time to attend to. I do apologize for that as I want nothing so much as to able to train anyone who wishes so long as they as working toward the good of Compact.

In order to try and be as fair as possible, I started to keep a list. I train in the order asked. I can give nobody more than one lesson a week and am allowing nobody to put their name on the list more than once at a time. Meaning one cannot go back on the list until I have given them their lesson.

At this time the wait list is long. When I have time for a lesson I see who is the next on the list. If they are not available or found another teacher and no longer need the lesson, I then move down the list to the next person. I realize this leads to long waits at time, but it seems fairer to me than giving lessons to whoever I happen to see first with I have time.

I give lessons regardless of fealty, experience, rank, friendship with myself and etc.

The thing is that the threat of me punching someone is about as much worth of a threat as being served a bowl of pudding in a flavor you don't prefer.

I've never had anyone killed for punching me because I said foolish things. However, I would prefer being told of my folly over being punched, since a punch can be interpreted in many ways and accidents can happen despite the best intentions.

Misinterpretations aside, I will concede that there are few forms of communication as effective as a well-placed punch.

I am very grateful for all those who interested in the lodge right now. I do want to remind people the lodge is a wild nature sanctuary.

Visits are most certainly welcome and when I am around, I would be happy to show anyone about. I just got the orchard all ready and there will be lots of fruit and berries soon. We also have a new hot springs there and our gardens are blooming.

But I want to gently remind people to be careful of the wildlife there. When walking please try not to trample on any flowers. When visiting my field of petals, please do walk while looking at the ground and staying on the path. With so many people coming through, some of the more delicate plants could easily be smashed.

If you want to a tour of the lodge, send me a message and I will do my best to show you around.

I think the best way to handle it is to ask the Templar guard to punch him.

Not that I’m condoning it. Just, if it comes up.

I would just like to make it known I have never had anyone stabbed for punching me. I just cannot promise I will not punch back.

For best results, store fish in a crate without padding or insulation in direct sunlight for at least 48 hours, preferably longer.

Relationship Note on Aureth

I have the greatest respect for Father Aureth, really I do!

But I am not entirely certain that he can actually give people permission to assault him. As a Legate. I mean, maybe in private? But I feel like socking a Legate in the face in public is likely to end with being stabbed many times by angry Templars, no matter how much Father Aureth might protest that no, this was a totally okay thing to happen.

I would suggest this same caution when it comes to punching Princes, or really anyone who happens to outrank you! What someone may be okay with as a person, their very dedicated guards probably won't be, and it would be sad to have people killed for silly reasons! Maybe you can do something else instead. Like, draw a butt on parchment and send them a picture of a butt. Maybe with an arrow pointing to the butt and saying "YOU" in big letters, if you think they might be a little dense.

Or have many fish shipped to their house. Many, many fish. Especially in summer!

Relationship Note on Ida

If I say something shitty and pass it off as "just a joke" or "that is my personality, so it's fine", I deserve far more than just a punch to the face.

Also, dear Ida, remember to give Marquis Rymarr lessons in fisticuffs. So begins the daily reminder.

Relationship Note on Aureth

If only everyone were so willing to admit when something they said that was shitty was shitty.

I will join the Legate on taking this pledge. If I ever say something that is taken poorly and try to play it off as if I was making a joke, do feel free to hit me. In the stomach, though, not the face. I have sensitive bones.

Relationship Note on Aureth

People are always free to, as you put it, sock you in the face, Father Aureth - I am sure Aleksei would have said that the freedom to make choices granted by Skald means nothing if you are also not free to make stupid or insulting choices too. It is the repercussions that change. And well. The guards have their own free will to factor in, Father.

Guards that are very essential, given all that has happened of late.

Relationship Note on Joscelin

I have a guess or two why you are obsessed with food......

But, Lottie's pies (and bars and cookies and cakes and candies and chews and every damn thing she makes) are so BEYOND good that I think many people might be obsessed with them for good reason that has absolutely nothing to do with eating for two....

I know I am. Obsessed that is.

Relationship Note on Silas

Transparent lying when called to account for yourself _is_ rather stupid, though, isn't it? I have never understood the tendency of some people to pretend others overreact to a joke. It's unworthy snidery.

If I ever pretend something shitty I said was a joke, I am recording now in my whites that my permission is given for me to be socked in the face. I have to do this because the Grandmaster thinks I need two templar knights as escort everywhere I go now.
