Kylie gets a hug from ZIng, then Zing gulps "Oh my turn"

"Indeed..." Rosco grins and takes out a roulette... "A round and round she goes, where she lands?"

Zing spins the roulette!

It goes round aNd round... then she just can't take it and knocks it off and chases after...now in Asian Leopard cat form

The crowd gasps, but Rosco shakes his head "Don't worry, folks. If it's natural to her, it's natural for the cantrip"

Scattering, chasing, a metal ball bouncing off shoes

Coradel has firmly decided that she LIKES this Namer!

Bachdion moves near MInerva and gives a bow quietly

"Sir knight, I'm.. not the sort one bows to." She whispers aT him

"I bow to beauty and grace underfire, and in that , it is well earned" The gent kisses her knuckles , nods and parts

Somewhere in the middle of the crowd, Zing caN be heard to say "It bit me!" and holds up the steelball

A fond smile at Bachdion's gesture, and then her eyes return to Zing.

"And my lucky numbers are..." She says... even as Rosco bulls through the crowd to get to her

"Pardon me, one side... MOVE...." As he clears the path

Dame Agincourt aznd Honoria smirk , Dougals are often proud of their House's rep for nocker touched bluntness

And then... after azlmost silent communication...

Zing says "It would appear I am Pope!" She grins

Laughter and cheers

Rosco chuckles "I believe her USE Name is still Zing, but some of us wear many names in each life"

Coradel applauds happily!

"Let's begin the celebration, with the baroness' approval?" Minerva says

an act of great bravery .. in it's way

She steps forward with a smile to Minerva. "Indeed! Namer, you have done us a great goodness today, and we thank you. Now, let us celebrate our newly-named!" and she signals the troubadours to start the music!

" My purpose is done here," Rosco ssays "So I'm just another celebrant. " He bows, "And... if the the Breeze would like to meet the Avalanche berfore I go, I would consider it an honor"

That leads to SOME Confusion, but the important thing is understood. They're free to celebrate!

And the troubadours are already playing

Coradel is among the confused...and curious. "Whatever does he mean by that, do you think?" she murmurs to Minerva.

Zara, however, makes her way to the Garden.

Where else would the breeze be, but in open air?

"Power calls to Power, Baroness" Minerva sayss "I shall remain an hour and then... sleep away myself"

"Power calls to Power? How strange...I wonder whom he summons?"

Then, "As you see best, of course. I suppose you have some research to begin. But do not feel constrained to that time schedule."

"Thank you" Minerva says

And she gives many a false smile as folks come to give words of congratulations but eyes full of pity

"Silly fools," Coradel murmurs. "They don't understand the gift you've received."

"I'm .. not sure how much of a gift it is... I know what you mean about the mystery, but... my pride bleeds all over the floor" Minerva admits

"What of it? You are not a Gwydion, for your pride to dictate your truth. Let others think what they wish -- their thoughts are temporary, and you know you will prove them wrong in the end. You are not to be pitied."

"I feel like something must be wrong with me, that this should be all I am granted by the Dreaming." Minerva inhales a bit

"Oh, as if this moment is all there is! It's not, you know. This is merely part of a chapter."

"Fiona are almost annoyingly eager for a challenge, begging your pardon" She says, then "Sir Bachdion is kind. I knew this, he and Vince both, but I have not always appreciated"

"They are," she agrees fondly.

"You should go and tell them that," she encourages.

"Yes, I should" A sigh, "Forgive me a moment?" She looks VInce's direction

"By all means." And Coradel waves to Vince, offering him a smile.

August has remained supportively silent nearby.

Coradel offers August a brief, soft smile as Minerva hesitates.

A nod "Thank you, and thank YOU baron" She moves off

Coradel watches her go. "She hurts now, but she will work through it," she says with confidence as she takes his hand.

He nods. "I know how she feels, I suppose." quietly.

"I... had a notion, Coradel. If you have a moment?"
