Sir Kresslack,

You are mistaken.

I was never a Page of Thurisaz, I was an Armsman. I never selected a Hird, and never got to swear the Runic Creed.
As a matter of fact, I had approached you at the time to become your Page, and you refused me, on account of my so called tone.

Of course, I understand: It is not what is being said, but how it is being heard. A particularly convenient, ever-shifting scale to be measured against.

It is impossible to communicate with those who willingly misunderstand everything they hear.

Good day, Sir.
