Not yet. Well, not exactly. Garstan hasn't told her, but he has asked her indirect questions that played into his original answer about the secret. Or will in AiE.

Congrats to your sister, by the by.

Thanks!

I forgot to mention. I'm leaving this morning and will not be returning until Friday afternoon. Thank goodness Thornden has already been called upon.

I'll see you all in a few days!

Great story, Ang!

What I'd like to do is have Eodwine say that he takes Manawyth into personal custody and will go to Dunland with Manawyth, for purposes of his own as well as to test the claims of Manawyth. This can then be part of the rpg I've been brooding on for a bit of a while. That does not mean that it has to happen right away.

What do you think, Ang?

I need to know if you're interested before Eodwine answers.

Also this would involve Saeryn, as she has family she wants to find, or find out as not living anymore. Care to describe what you have in mind, Fea?

Slightly ripped off from my Scottish Clan's history. Mostly the arrow through the window.

LMP, I would need a long break before embarking on such an RP but provided you're willing to wait even till Septemper or October I'd love to brave it. For the moment I'm already suspecting I'm overstretched and I have an increasingly full summer...

Certainly there's plenty of dramatic potential. I made up Math on the spot, but I can see him as an excellent, morally ambiguous character. Manawyth left Llian in the hands of Gwaer's ruffians, so who can tell what's happened to her. And there's a twist in the tale Manawyth hasn't told the court.

He likes sinning by omission...

LMP, remember when I first introduced Saeryn to the Horse? Runaway noble pretending not to be with limited success...

She'd run away from Fenrir with the plan being to follow in the footsteps of her dead parents (Fenrir broke the news of their death and she trusts him not at all, so she wanted to learn it for real). She got sidetracked at the Horse and then Degas came and revealed that her sister had died doing the same (following dead parents) and Saeryn's "Me? Noble... of course not!" charade ended.

Basically, she's still at the Hall for a few reasons: she's fallen in love with everybody there and doesn't want to leave them, she's got responsibilities now to herself and others, and she's dead scared now to follow and meet the same fate that seems to have taken half of her family.

If she and Eodwine go on the adventure promised that slightly inebriated night, Saeryn would want to follow a preordained path in search of information about parents that are said to have died several years earlier and a sister that died recently.

Fear will be her biggest obstacle as that's what it always has been for her in every situation. Presumably some fantastic tension would mount between Saeryn and Eodwine over who travels where, when, and with whom.

And I'm completely with Ang about needing to hold it off until the end of summer. But the more I think about this possible RP... the more I like it.

It's actually reminding me of Tapestry, LMP.

I'm fine with waiting until September or October as I have a very full plate already myself. At least that gives me the info I need for Eodwine to answer Manawyth. Yes, there is a bit of Tapestry familiarity there.
