Besides, Boony's going to fight the Growler." A seat, then, gladly I shall take! 'Tis long roads, and miles at sea, since Nisroch - and even THAT city, among family, so teeming did it alien seem! Fair few friends I've made as yet - still, Cheliax is friend to the Umbral Court, and they, my masters, bid me come, to aid in the finding of Paths, and then bring news of the wide world to their door.

Thank you deeply for the wine, yet ... I know, I am afraid, nothing of what you speak of. I can garden, and make wicker furniture, and I can examine the dead and tend to the sick ... but "joust" cannot make.

Apologies abundant, lady - mine hazy guess had been your size was that of a child, for I had averted my gaze as not to offend your family, me being of no noble birth. Join you, then, I hope to - if Tragedy may accompany, I'll gladly walk the way.

Unarmed fighting, then? A noble test, and honorable! If you should watch your father fight, then join you I may!
<too busy scarfing cake & BBQ> Wait, a ... a ball, says he? With dancing, then, unless I miss my guess - and music, too? Such a thing, sirs, I've not seen - nor even known to be a truth! If women, there shall be, I should expect I'll need attire much more formal! And perhaps a bath as well, not for just myself but also Tragedy!
Sit, I shall, friend Lazaro - and hope, I should, that this might not be our last opportunity for acquaintance, but rather the first of many! From whence hail you, sir, if I may ask - oh, and trouble you, might I, for cake as well? Neither I nor Tragedy ... <pets his wolf> ... have eaten scarce enough since setting out from Ridwan.
I apologize - my iron mask, I had not removed, for I had expected no such gentle company! And worse, before, I spoke too quickly - the lovely young lady here not yet done with her song, or at the least her hosts still contemplating the melody's virtues. My heart, I am afraid, was roused to speak too soon - I am unused to such fine music, all but unheard, deep in the Uskwood. Such quality, this city, and such charm, my hosts - they are kind, even as Taldorians slight Qadirians in the very house of the Majestrix. All honor to the City of Thorns, and to Queen Abrogail the Wise, and all whom she commands! My lady, where DID you learn to sing so beautifully - so unlike anything I've heard before? |
