"Call it what you like, but yes."

"I think Chief Intelligence Officer then" She says. Amused by something? She's in good spirits

This, Jess can understand. "And you two.... all Good? No hard feelings?"

Shard says "It's settled."

Sayna shakes her head "No. Why would they? I can't rule. I'm a kid"

Jessica nods.

Abeula curls about "Mitra is a devious warrior, but devoted. She will use that cleverness for the Pitt"

"I think it will be a good match." A smile to Mitra.

"Thank you. How are things with the new knights?" Mitra asks

"I have met one. Beaumayn. I need to talk with our internal list as well.."

"You might consider Phobos. I know it sounds crazy, but he's a fighter, he's been a herald, and he's..fiercely loyal. His methods are harsh, but they're often in the insterest of the fief."

She nods. "I have, and am, considering him."

"Coy DeBuke wouldn't be a bad one, but as a DeBuke I doubt he'd take the title"

"Stranger things have happened. I can talk with him."

"oh clem may blow a gasket... can I watch?" Mitra says

The feathered Dragon fusses, "Be nice, little moon."

"Yes, Abeula," Mitra sighs

"Anyone else?"

"Internally, we're rather weak on knight material. We've forcused on musers, crafters, scribes and the like... Knights tend to need warriors with a traditionalist bent. "

"Can I knight someone for other achievements?"

"Of course, Dougal do it for fine craftsmanship, and we Eiluned value different things."

"There we go then."

"Tito-Woden doesn't seem to fit in my mind. He's growing up, but still not serious enough"

"Ok."

"Have you considered Knighting Necropsis?"

"No." Blankly.

"Good." She smiles

"Jeeze, Dame...."

"Hey, at least I didn't mention Duff"

"Not knighting him, either."

"I would argue he's earned it. But he'd probably say no,.":

Jessica nods.

Shard says "mmm he's cunning. And a good fighter. "

Mitra ponders "yes, but he's more useful outside than in it seems"

"Moving on...."

"Moving on I'm not sure else would take it or fit. Rosa and Maria would decline. Many boggans would. " She says

She nods. "Ok. It's a start."

"Have you thought of recruiting from the Rivervale area?" she says

"No..... that would be, um, poaching."

"Besides.... Rivervale needs all hands right now." Grimly.

"All hands? Why would it need all hands?" She says

Shard grunts "Because of the giantbane. My sympathies to your clan, Freeflame"

"Save the sympathy for the dragon." But her eyes are still worried.

Mitra nods "Right. Shit. " Then, "Have you thought about.. assuming all goes well, asking your mother if there is anyone worthy of knigting there who might want the challenge?"

"I... could ask."

Shard looks at Mitra, "Her mother makes her nervous."

"That's silly" Mitra says

"No, every grown offspring is nervous around their parents. We feel judged." Shard says

Abuela says "I think perhaps we are getting into the Freeflame's personal life again"

"Moving. On."
