Velvet casts her eyes heavenward and helps with the armor

"I don't understand why we're doing this exactly, " Dame Honora and Dame Leonora help each other with their armor, the former talking, "I'm a crafter not a warrior, and you're.. amazing as an archer but..."

"Going to get my ass kicked by the first real melee fighter I encounter? Who cares?" Cheerfully, the Fiona says "The way I see it, there needs to be less than great warriors out there too. We add variety, let them appreciate the experts later. Sure we get smashed, but we'll live, might learn something, and folks will appreciate how skilled others are. This pennons is political... sure, but part of politics is gracious hosting and providing entertainment. "

"I'm going to get my mace fed to me and you're happy about it," The Dougal Sidhe shakes her head.

"Trust, I am not as happy as I was earlier," A frrown crosses Leo's face, "I have said something FIVE times to somone... and each time we talk again, he acts like that conversation didn't happen. I'm starting to get the hint."

"Huh?" The Heartless Dougal looks up

"Nevermind" The Fiona sighs "nevermind."

And he waits, mastering his emotions, invoking disciplines he hasn't for months to order his mind and enforce calm.
