Hmph! Titles here are worthless. Futile, trivial words scrawled on parchment. Merely thinking of them insults me.

[Granted, he needs little provocation to feel insulted.]

Why do you regard their distinction as an accolade worthy of merit?

It has been most instructive as to the nature of your kind that you salivate like mongrels and chase subordination and not independence.

[There is an embittered sigh.]

Do you not entertain any notion of loyalty to your native land? Your eager willingness to chase glory is abominable. Hm. It is useless. You should close your mouths and remember where you come from.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Huh.

You know, it's nice that someone finally agrees with me when it comes to titles in this place.

[leitstern]

Hmph! It certainly appears to be a singular opinion. How surprising.

[He hardly sounds surprised.]

[forgeabettertomorrow]

So, what brought all this on, exactly? I'm a little surprised to hear you so fired up.

[morganknight]

Are you really of the opinion that this sentiment expressed in this manner will actually change anyone's minds?

[Morgan has no intention in the slightest of taking issue with the position. Merely the means of expression.]

[leitstern]

It is hardly my concern that people embrace courtesy over reason.

[That would be a no.]

[morganknight]

But they aren't at odds, though. Courtesy is the lubrication of language. Fast, direct assaults can have their place, but only against targets they can break, not against a wall of resistance.

[Hendrik has gotten used to the vitriol that Jasper spouts over the years; for all of his poise, he can also become cantankerous when he has something to say about a certain topic. He has been said topic more than once.

With that in mind, there is something else that catches his ear.]

"Your kind"?

[leitstern]

[Hendrik has rarely acknowledged his words over the years. Barely noticed his emotions except for anger. The pain of being unnoticed had spread like disease, filling his heart to the point he began questioning himself.

No wonder this choice renders him silent.]

Come on, Hendrik. You know what I mean.

[standvastig]

[It's not a pleasant thing to hear -- and even less to have to talk about in any way. But Hendrik can't help being more attentive now.]

I do not believe that I do.

[leicesters]

For your duties to Camelot in being cranky, I bequeath thee the title, "Lord Grouchester". Rise, and claim the title and lands you so rightly deserve!

[leitstern]

I knew this address would have the insects crawling out the woodwork.

Upon my word, you are ridiculous.

[troubadamsel]

I rather agree on this, especially given the oddity of "quests" we must accomplish in order to gain such titles. As if true nobility is handed so easily on a silver platter!

[leitstern]

Hmn. It does bereft me that any imbecile can become a lord, I must admit.

Luckily, most who acknowledge them lack the grace of such an esteemed position that their opinion hardly matters.

[An angry pause, then a breath.]

Thank you. It is pleasant to hear somebody speak sense, even if it is one opinion of many.

voice; un: b.eisner. im already sorry about her

[hegemonwings]

[ all of this comes blandly enough, as if she's commenting on something as simple as the weather. ]

The titles are pointless, I agree. What strikes me is that you seem to believe nobility anywhere is a useful idea. It's certainly done your ego no favors.

oh no worries i'm sorry also

[leitstern]

[The blandness is matched by a cold antipathy.]

What you call ego others call emotion.

I hardly care what term you prefer.

[Because that's the important topic here!]

un: ems

[unhappy]

I don't know, it makes more sense than people who inherited their title and money getting pat on the ass for being born. Nobles in the traditional sense deserve a lot worse than to have their titles stomped all over by people getting rewarded for helping out others if you ask me.

[ Not that she has a title here either, but it doesn't make her any less salty toward so-called nobility. ]

[leitstern]

[The first point is digested and denoted for later. The second? He focuses upon it and draws towards its natural conclusion.]

You would put them to the sword?

[feisticuffs]

I can't speak for everyone, but in some cases, this place may well be preferable to where they come from. Some people don't have much of a home to go back to, even if we're successful in our so-called 'mission' here.

[She's not one of them, but she knows enough people from different walks of life that she can see it being the case for more than a few.]

In such circumstances, I don't think there's anything wrong with people wanting to build a life for themselves here, and having their deeds recognized isn't a crime, if they've put in the effort.

[leitstern]

[The username catches his attention but the familiar, feminine voice captures it. How funny it sounds so; considering they haven't been on friendly terms. Nor have they been familiar over many a year.]

Because building a fence or slaughtering beasts is the height of effort? You would have to award a distinction to everybody.

[He sounds angry. He sounds frustrated. But he is engaging.]

damn dude tell us how you really feel lmao

though i kind of agree. but maybe not for the same reason

see, id rather bee the one handing out the titles and getting the loyalty pledges. if this king couldnt stop the end of the world(s), what right does have to his throne, amirite?

[leitstern]

Considering the man could barely thrawt his own assassination, I would have to agree. His entire personality is weak and that hardly strikes me as worthy of fealty.

Good morning, Jasper.

A bit late for morning greetings, is it not?
