Lady Chancellor Nachita.
It's weird to do this from here, but I have no other option, and I know it's best.

I have sufficient reason to believe that Councilor Larsa Solidor has gotten himself ill with his service and dedication. I know he will never, ever, ask for leave himself, so I ask you-

No, I beg you, please give Larsa leave from his duty

Pardon the intrusion, Miss Penelo.

I fail to see the dire need of such a request of the Chancellor in a public forum.

Oh, I seem to have insulted a dignitary. That's nothing new, is it?

All this plebeian here wanted is to ask the Chancellor, who seems to be the one in charge of coordinating the council's duties, is that one councilor be given some time to himself, considering the said councilor is currently laid up in bed with a low-grade fever.

Considering I'm little more than a peasant, I can't exactly waltz right up into the main fortress and ask for a chat over tea, can I.

I guess it was stupid to use the only method of communication with the community I've been given. But what does anyone expect of a street girl like me?

I was not insulting your station in life. We are all placed in our lots in life, and given what we are given to continue our gifts of life. I do not expect a commoner to be allowed within the castle walls on a whim of the guard, in fact, if that had happened, there would be even more dire consequences for the guards involved in such an affair.

However, a mere note requesting the attention of the Chancellor without such public begging and grovelling would have served its purpose, as she is more than willing to speak with the Offworlders, as she has shown in the past.

As is Master Larsa, however, she is also very busy, and even an entry in these journal systems do not necessarily secure a reply.

I doubt I'd be more than a smear on their halberds. Pleading that someone spare the life of this child is begging and grovelling? I can't just slip her a note on cute pink stationary. But if that's the case...

Oh, here, let me personally go and apologize for my antics and rip out a page from everyone's journal. Or would that be too much, too? Do you say this to everyone who blasts something personally on the journals? Or am I just lucky?

What would you like me to say, my Lady? You know as well as I do that I am not the same as you. Or Larsa. To ask for some humanity in the case of a twelve-year-old boy who's being run to death for the sake of his people is groveling? Larsa is, as you say, An Offworlder, but yet he is completely willing to lay down his health and life for the sake of a people that don't know him, don't respect him

That little kid who's supposed to be one of the head honchos around here right? No wonder he's sick.
