When Gwen returns, she rubs her horns, there's so much to process.

And much to write down, though she does not mention the book Mr. Aberdeen asked him to never mention; so she does not. Not even on paper.

But it will be easier to hand this over to Art and Thistle and let them read out the details she did put down than explain it repeatedly. Better to do it while her memory is sharp.

She also begins to doodle, heraldry ideas abound. It's actually cartoonish, and not even a good cartoon, but it's nice

It varies. Just choosing the colors is tricky. Green and Silver like her House? probably, but black is in the colors of Silverwolf. A dog seems to fit too well to leave out, but just one? or more? And just a dog? or a flower too?

She wonders what her past life blazon was? Then decides, it wasn't needful to look. She was a new her now.

A counter charge IS nice, half and half. She ponders a Thunderbird added in, but no, that might look too much like a Gwydion Falcon

She throws EVERYTHING onto a sheet, flowers, dogs, thunderbirds, wolves, dragons and sunshine

Then blinks "Looks like a medieval eye chart" And scraps that

Simple it is then, something that honors her house, but references her work here at Silverwolf... and yes, the name of the flower she took

It ..looks terrible, but that's what computer aps are for, to do work for the artisticly impaired right? She finishes, and proudly shows it off to Bluebell "What do you think?"

When the pooka points out the double ears.... Gwen winces, and goes back to make some editing

Bluebell looks it over critically, then comments, "Where is the rabbit?" A pout.

"Probably cleverly hiding in the plants where the dog will never find her" A smile "Unless she wants to be found"

Bluebell taps her nose, and winks before heading out to find her (surprisingly HANDSOME) husband.

After a call for help and relying on Gwen's BRUTE STRENGTH, the trio of Wilders is ensconced in a parlor with the Crate O Mysteries. Gwen extracted a promise from Art to show her the rest of the storage room later!

"Seriously never knew it was there"

Thistle briefly absconded to get her sketchbook, and is now copying over glyphs with notes - THIS glyph was to animate the toy soldier's legs, so this one must do what?

"Thistlee, while you're at it, look at my note pad, under the faux heraldry "

"It's what I learned when I visited..." A pause realizing Varich ears MIGHT be around "A certain source"

"Yeah?" She snags Gwen's notes.

They compare notes, soon both having each other's side of the story.

Art shifts uncomfortably, and reaches up, tugging absently at one long ear.

"I am glad I was not here for the Accordance war. I would not want to take part in any war, but the thought of being set against my friends on kith-basis is... disconcerting."

His tone uncharacteristically sober.

"Same."

"Not all sidhe took the commoner side, and not all commoners took the rebellion side" Gwen reminds "That's what made it especially terrible I suppose"

A troubled look

"If we put two and two together, it looks like the last entry in the Journal Thistle found was Caelan's last he made before falling in battle. Which left his Golem unfinished. Probably for the best, as... he seemed to be in a very unhappy place when he was working on it."

"I wonder what happened to Isolde?"

"Me too. Too bad you didn't get a chance to ask the Historian about her. But if we went back now, he might charge an arm and a leg, if he even knows." Art muses.

"And something someone has done is stirring it"

"Doomed romance is totally boggan catnip."
