Gardens and the Graves

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

"He was called this morning, when we were in the garden. Mama said the king wanted him to... to..." Titian stumbles, trying to remember the exact words, and his sister picks up the narrative. "'Calm the young hotheads at Court,' that's what mother said. Papa is very good at getting people to behave." Titian giggles at the thought of his father sending young men to a corner like he does to his children when they misbehave.

The thistle cocks a furry lavander brow, "What more d'ya young'ns know of this?"

Gus's forhead crinkles as he frowns slightly. The children's father being called in to "calm" down "hot heads" implied that there was something causing trouble. Perhaps it was just mischief, but it could be the sign of trouble brewing. He turns to the others.

"Perhaps we should go to court to see what's new. Do you think the king would receive me?"

He puts on a haughty expression as of some stuffy nobleman and begins striding around presumptously before calming down.

"But more seriously, perhaps we should find out what's happening. It's been a while since I bothered with the rest of the human world."

"It is a possibility..." Grouse replies, smiling slightly at the mushroom's actions.

 

[Lady Shatterstone]

*Oribella listens to the mushroom and the thistle. She will go along with whatever is deemed the best course of action.*

Is it wise to leave the children without some one to look after them? she sighs as the thought across her mind uninhibated.

The thistle cocks a furry lavander brow, "What more d'ya young'ns know of this?"

"Papa goes to court a lot, and Layla and Ida always try to go along to meet boys," Katherine says with a giggle at Gus' antics. "Mama says maybe she'll bring them this time and make a holiday of it. Auntie Lyssia would be happy to look after us."

"She has a lot of cats! They tickle my nose with their whiskers!" Titian adds with a giggle.

OOC: Have the faeries ever heard of Aunt Lyssia??

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

OOC - Aunt Lyssia is one of the lesser known members of the family, a spinster older sister of Lady Felada. She's thought to be a bit batty, and mostly lives alone in the neighboring city of Gathet. It's not sure all of what she does, but she's known to be something of a scholar.

OOC Note (mainly for the players)...

Gus wanders over to Grouse and whistles in the thistle's ear.

"Perhaps we should excuse ourselves for now and go and discuss how to proceed."
