Derwood Goldfont is in exile. Mostly self imposed, but exile none the less. The Warrior poet... okay, warrior Author, is in that den of iniquity and favorite watering hole of slumming sidhe lords: Firnost . I may have won a duel but I certainly lost the peace. By the Da'an, what a lashing the Baroness gave me.

The Gwydion looks at the gauntlets/gloves, "A pint of bitter, please" He lays down a hundred dollar bill "Start a tab"

Well, I don't know who Talia Amur is exactly but she clearly at least visits Earthrunes. A sigh as the gloves prepare him a pint And she has a following. It's easy to dismiss the Baroness' commentary. The purple overwrought style does suit silver lioness sensibilities ..and yet.

The accusation of Banality stung, not his honor, no rage provoked, but rather the fruit of his working. Gwydions, as all SHOULD know, are the great enemy of the final winter. To be accused of inadvertently contributing to it gives Derwood a shock of ...shame. Did I really? I had always thought challenges were not banal, but rather ways to get others to rise above And yet... he has been forced to beyond patting himself on the back for his certainty of quality, and look at it from other perspectives.

Derwood winces again, and tests the Bitter "Thank you" he says to it. He is no Ailil, and something is dawning on him. One can deliver an educated judgement one still believes in firmly and feels they have proof of if required, and still be in the wrong in delivery . Whether I WAS right or not to label it so, my persistence after the duel was boorish. And in another's hold no less. Yes, unlike an Ailil, Gwydions can admit they were ... wrong. They don't LIKE it, but they can do it.

It is sentimental drivel though A petty self assurance. The very soul of derivative . He turns to the others involved. This Sir Earl fought damned well for his effort. Clearly NOT a warrior, his use of Quicksilver, allowed by both parties, almost got past Derwood's defenses for more than a shoulder wound. By the gods the fellow KNEW he was facing a Gwyddion warrior and despite Derwood's warnings, went at it anyway. I couldn't just let a man of that caliber lay wrapped up in the back of a book club could I?

No, it would have been wrong to desert the troll. And Talia Amur has some weaknesses as an authoress. The fact HE might have weakness as an author is probably true as well

A sip.

He's not ailil but he IS still proud.

He takes a quaff. It takes two pints before the muse kicks in, not the muse of writing, but what to do. While he's not a fan of the things. He begins to text

He has an invitation to arrange.
