*Sighs, and .... ZOOM*

ahem, chancellor, not seneschal.

Heralds are diplomats, need to be trusted. Liam.

Maybe she could get scribing lessons from August.

it's a bird, it's a plane!

Hmm...of all of those...herald suits best, I think.

It's an interesting notion of Vali's...and one he hasn't really consulted with Brekke about.

If she has scribing talents, surely.

Oh...can she sing?

Yeah. The problem is - even if RV trusts her, house is a mark against her when dealing with outsiders.

A bit.

Her -best- talent is art. It's her only 3!

I need to double check the sheet - but I think it's crafts 3, performance 1

eyebrow It's a troll lodge, where the Chieftain is married to a Liam, who is also one of the Triad of trollish leaders. Those who are already squicked by Liam won't be terribly astounded by another one.

They really could use a scribe, though. All those trollish hands...not a lot of dainty writing. Spend a fortune in parchment, with all that big lettering.

hahaha

Would that be a suitable position for a baroness, though?

That's exactly the thing.

Now...doubling herald and scribe...?

Brekke will ask if Sparrow wouldn't rather petition Count Hemlock for a position.

She's a fairly physical being, but compared to the trolls... not so much.

Just because he has more to offer.

True.

But she hasn't met Hemlock.

Hmmm....

Y'know...turning the status quo on its head...having a sidhe Reeve for a commoner 'Hold....

The local dissidents might be intrigued by that.

Ha

Now, Bird might enjoy entertaining the notion... she likes RV a lot. But the title makes things sticky.

Too easy to create the impression of challenging authority or overstepping. Which is why a Count would be more suitable.

I could poke at Chris again, ask him if we can get a Hemlock cameo so Sparrow can meet him and petition him...but...I think he was disappointed when he started to get involved but didn't have access to all the chats we have, and kept missing us.

Yeah 😞

I -never- managed to catch him

Or...you have his contact info, right? Could nudge him directly?

Nope

can't we get him on here?

Raaaaaaaaaaaeeeeeeeeeeee

Not sure how inviting even works in this thing.

Email, I think

hi.

Dunkirk was good

The Dawsons are an awesome boggan family

*Flyby!*

Ducks Darn it, don't do that after I've seen Nazi airstrikes!

Ha!

Ok, I just want to say, I answered email and THEN checked here.

Checks email I think you are theo nly person I am NOT PBEMing with right now. THat feels unnatural

Deeply.

*Pout* Had to waste time hitting the rest room and getting food on this break.
