Well, I'll have to wait for Jenny to post to say good-bye, so Garstan will come back after that...

*sigh*

Agh...busy day...and my time yesterday was cut short by the long process of filing an accident report with MP. (No injuries, minimal, localized, mostly cosmetic damage, not my fault, other guy will pay to fix my car...just took a while.)

I will try to get a post up before my lunch hour. I'm going to make it fairly brief, and set Farahil and Linduial out on their way at the end of it.

Also working on an idea for Marenil, Eodwine, & Thornden, (no kidnappings, don't worry), but I'll save that for when I have more time.

Double...but I wanted to make sure this was noticed:

Celuien, I've reread your post and noticed something I'd missed before. I really don't think Lin would have the ability one-handed to lift a hefty and squirmy five-year-old. If it weren't for the broken wrist...

I'm going to write my post as though Saeryn obligingly lifted Leodern up to hugging range and go from there. If that sounds good, just edit accordingly.

Oops. Will edit later.

Pio, now would be a good time to post Lommy's. Or I can add it myself to my own post after work...?

-------------

EDIT:

Done . . . and thanks!

Fea, luv...could you send Modtryth to Marenil's room to discuss how they'll handle the accounts? He's working on taking the reins of the stewardship. LMP, I'd also like some word from you on just what, exactly, Marenil is responsible for. I would have thought the Steward would be handling hiring, honestly, at least for artisan labor and tasks involving access to the coffers. And I foresee some clashing between Marenil's experience and Saeri's earnestness...Saeri's new to the job, and Marenil hasn't had to deal with female authority higher than a housekeeper for 15 years. He took on a lot of the roles of Farlen's Lady...

It would be great to see a list of Saeryn's, Marenil's, and Thornden's duties, as well, perhaps, as those duties Eodwine prefers to make himself.
And as steward, shouldn't Marenil be attending the meeting between the Lord and Lady and the contractors?

Sure I can. Just had to go to work first before I posted again. I can have Saeryn ask Modtryth to send Marenil down when he's done...?

Oh, certainly. Saeryn's got experience in her old household, but not in this one. Same goes for Marenil. No doubt they'll be stepping on each other's toes left and right until Eodwine sorts things out.

I agree, that way I know which rules I'm breaking when I have her doing somebody else's.

I haven't time to answer this right now, busy busy busy! Except for this: Yes, Marenil should be part of the meeting too. Eodwine will be apologizing to him for his failure to think of it. What I'd like is if Marenil could make these very suggestions in the RP that you're making here. What do you think? It could be interesting.

Nogrod, please post up. I won't have time to introduce the thing. Perhaps you could just put suitable words in Eodwine's mouth?

As for a residential wing, we're all thinking too much in modern terms. A Mead Hall was a place in which people just parked themselves in the main Hall as they could find room. Eodwine will be against adding a new wing on two grounds: 1. expense (he doesn't have much cashflow); 2. He thinks that the open hall is good enough for overflow guests. This is what he'll say when asked. If you want your characters to argue the point with Eodwine, by all means go for it.

Let the conflict ensue!

And Trystan, Eodwine wants those privies cleaned out by the end of the the afternoon. Got a that?
