When Shederin Purnesse told him that he was a bad leader, Ves did not object to the accusation.
He held the same opinion for a long time, after all. He just didn't like any of the alternatives.

The original institutions that he had set up such as the Larkinson Assembly and the Larkinson Court might have worked fine when every Larkinson knew each other by name and when their fleet hardly amounted to anything, but everything had grown too quickly.
Yet when Shederin pushed forth his own son as the acting executive of the Larkinson Clan, Ves finally had enough.
