General Notice

[impure_tale]

Admiral, Iago's bed and books are to be removed from his chambers. A simple straw mattress will suffice.

Monsieur Sofer, if you are still experiencing shortages in the kitchen, feel free to add my Inmate to any shifts he does not already attend, and I want him on nightly cleanup. If he misses a shift, he is not to be fed.

My Inmate is not to be found anywhere within the vicinity of either the Master, or Judas Iscariot, without my prior sanction.

I'm not conflating the issue; the two of you seem perfectly amenable to comparing your situation to theirs. It's fair game.

There's a difference between pursuing what you believe to be right and acting on selfish whim.

I know the things that you have done, but I never doubted your sense of integrity, or that you believed that it would turn out for the betterment of everyone in the end. I never believed you acted maliciously. Iago has -- in his time here it has become especially apparent that Iago at times turns to violence on a whim. Sometimes without provocation. And he has been in a world where that has not only been permitted to go unchecked, but it's been encouraged, rewarded, and nurtured. He has been permitted to live this way, in a place where his actions have no consequence. And Judas has openly admitted, to my face, to enabling that. THAT is why I wanted them apart the first week.

I have never been afraid to tell you I have thought you were wrong in the past, Henry. Even when we were a good deal closer. Even when I was an Inmate. For that reason, I respect your choice to speak to me on the matter now, but I cannot agree with you.

You mean the mirror flood where they sought to punish me by restricting my access to ANYONE, much less a toilet, clean water, and fresh air? Yes, I remember. It's an inappropriate comparison.

Because it could just as easily be us in their position one day! None of you have any right to dangle our loved ones over our heads like a carrot on a stick.

Then perhaps you should have stated that in the first place, rather than making a demand that appears indefinite. While I still disagree with keeping them apart like this, a week is a lot easier to stomach than what you demanded in this entry.

And I stand by what I said. I will not enable your demands; if I see them with each other, I, at least, will not stop them.

I never said the change was permanent. Merely until further notice.

And Iago may see Judas once he has completed his first day of service, as I have also said.

I respect your decision and I understand why.

Thank you for listening to my thoughts on the matter, at the very least. I really do hope this does not backfire on you.
