Starting what will hopefully be a new series of posts on this blog, inspired by @coralhoneyrose's WIP Wednesday series. I've been pretty inactive, so this will add some life to this blog! It might also help motivate me to work on things more.
The cat at Edelgard’s feet began to paw at the tassels on her cape. Edelgard scolded it, then resumed her focus. “What day and year is it there?”
A rather odd question of her to ask. “Today is the first of May, Grann year seven hundred and fifty nine.”
“Here, it is the first of the Harpstring Moon, year eleven eighty five.” She paused. “Is it spring? If so, then I assume your ‘May’ is our Harpstring Moon.”
“It is indeed spring. The lilacs are just coming into season.” He raised a hand, gesturing to the garden around him. “Do you have those in your lands?”
She smiled. “Of course. They make for wonderful perfume. Though I prefer the scent of jasmine.”
Jasmine, Arvis thought. Aida’s favorite. Perhaps if she’d been there, she would have complimented Edelgard’s taste.
