Sleep well

well, not a complete disaster

though Zara is much more wary of Jude

and less likely to take Ivory there

Poor Jude.

he was too intrusive and too forward for her tastes. He made her feel exposed, and for a sluagh?

....she'll be more upset when she gets AUgust's voicemail

Heck, he should have called her Uncle instead since he's darned anyway G

I.... the idea of him calling her uncles actually gets me upset oocly

like, it just makes the Zara is incompetent thing even worse, beyond any kind of fixing

Oh! You thought zara came off as incompetent ? She's dealing with Janet plus power levels and 50 years of experience. AND she got away.

I'd say she was pretty bad ass.

yeah, think she came across as not even at a kitten level, a total bungle

I didn't see it that way. But then perhaps I should have posted more of Jude's frutration when his scrying her flopped 🙂

And if he had failed that WP check he might have been fuddled when his hold was

As it is, she sitll got it to work for a moment, and that's all she needed. If anything, I'd say she made jude look bad. His hold security got shown to have weak points

In front of a duke no less. One soon to be hit by the puberty wand, but that's neither here nor there, still a Duke 🙂

sleep thp

tho

though

Hugs NIght

night

I should go to bed

Nighto. zzzz

But the listening will have to wait..zzz

Night!

You know, re-reading things.... I'm pretty sure Zara would only -just- recognize what August said to Jude on the phone was an attempted obfuscation. It's pretty painful.

Z doesn't yet know about the phone call. No voicemail in the near dreaming

Heh. Fair!

Just hoping the timelines don't conflict.

Oh, Zara is going to be SO Upset about August being called

I mean, there she was, trying to get information about Jude, and everything just fell apart

August being called is really a kick in the rear after the humiliation of tierone

The whole thing is embarrassing.

Jude is a -Count.- In his OWN hold. Would Zara expect to get away with it (whatever 'It' is) with Thea?

And if Tierone hadn't just-happened to show up, she would have been fine.

Because what was "it"?

Visiting?

oooo, scary!

Studying the Count?

Zara did the same with Thea.

Thea, however, didn't humiliate her.

Thea knows. It amused her.

Sure Thea knows.

But again, Thea didn't humiliate her.

Manners.

No, Thea seems to save her humiliation for trolls....

I think Zara's humiliation comes from getting caught, not anything else that Jude did (or didn't).
