[QUOTE="CanadienneBacon, post: 2842481, member: 11146"] Kerowyn Hucrele snorts at Elyan's suggestion that her kin have run afoul of goblins. [COLOR=SandyBrown]"Goblins lurking about town? Poppycock and balderdash, in my opinion. Though they're certainly nasty enough, sniveling beasts in want of a slap and a bath, there's absolutely no reason to suspect Oakhurst's longstanding truce with the neighboring wildmen tribes has run aground. A midwife's waggling tongue turned to rampant gossip, if you ask me." [/COLOR] Mistress Hucrele raises an eyebrow at Elyan's suggestion that her household is at all 'odious.' [COLOR=SandyBrown]"Certainly not! After the death of their mum, Talgen and Sharwyn have always been afforded a most comfortable and accomodating home in my manor. I shouldn't have thought Talgen brave enough to have run off on his own. The boy's a fanciful enough imagination but lacks the fortitude necessary to adventure away from home. 'Tis my hope that a proper military education will toughen him a bit. Sharwyn," [/COLOR] Mistress Hucrele sighs with regret again, [COLOR=SandyBrown]"is lost entirely to her books and herb-gathering. I couldn't begin to tell you what that child is up to, though Gretchen claims to have discovered a very smelly pouch yester year from the pockets of one of Sharwyn's best gowns. Completely ruined the Atmoor lace of that dress, it did. Quite an expense to replace. Not the first time the child had incurred a similar disaster, either. Just before the Hoarfest some ten years ago, I had to pay for entire new gown for the child. Turned out she'd gotten ink all over her lace just after that queer man came 'round knocking, asking about them."[/COLOR] Emptying her tea cup of its contents, Mistress Hucrele looks around the table expectantly.
