Aren’t we all? *smiles*

No, I’d imagine you didn’t. We can leave after the meeting - I suppose we should be having too much ale, after all.

#let's go steal some shitttttt

Sounds like a plan. I'll make sure to hold off on the ale then. I'd hate to cause problems for us when we're attacking bandits.

It should be something, that’s for sure. I’m sure there will be plenty of food, ale, and gambling.

There’s always at least some bandits in need of being looted, and I do have a certain taste for making their pitiful lives a little more miserable. Tonight, then?

I'm looking forward to the ale. *grins*

By the sounds of things it appears I'd have no choice in the matter anyway. *nods* Tonight then.

Only whispers. Which are disturbing as is. Yes, from Brynjolf about the gathering.

Where to? You never know what you might find in the Great Forest?

The meeting will be good for us though. I can't remember the last time we were all together.

I've never made a run to the Great Forest but it sounds intriguing. Let's do it.

Well, as you know, I don’t actually stay at headquarters. My mind has been a bit preoccupied with other matters - like finding Matt. I only just recieved a raven.

Indeed, it is. Even getting out of Cair for awhile… It’s becoming suffocating.

Still no word of him? Strange. And raven?

We could go tonight, if you'd like.

You’re a good listener, then. Not entirely sure what it’ll be about… Can’t imagine it’d consist of something actually interesting.

#for saph #why am i so awkward at starters i don't understand

You don't know what it's about either? I would have thought that you of all guild members would know.

Y'know, with everyone focusing their attention on the Princesses' labour, now would be a good time to go on a little mission.

Rumour has it there'll be a gathering tonight at the guild.

So many new faces at court and I don't even know where to begin.

You can always start with me!

Of course!

I'm Walter Archibald, and you are?

I wouldn’t even bother trying to get to know the newcomers yet if I were you; they’ll probably be completely different people after a few weeks of court life anyway.

Is that so?

I'm assuming you are talking from experience?

I’m surprised one of the petty ones haven’t made an attempt on her life yet, but that’s nothing to joke about. My kingsguard have her well guarded, in any case.

A thief sneaked in at my wedding, actually. Stole something that had their name engraved in it and obviously didn’t expect to get caught.

If something like that did ever happen, it'd be quite the show.

Were you? I sincerely hope none of your possession came to harm then. I'm assuming you caught the criminal?

It's been so very quiet around here lately.

Just a few months? What brought you here then? If you don’t mind me asking of course, I don’t mean to pry. That makes sense considering I am her newest Lady-in-Waiting. *Grins* Shall I take that as a compliment?

Oh, I don't mind at all. I have nothing to hide. It was my father's order actually. He wished for me to act as an ambassador on behalf of my family so here I am.

Of course you shall. I would never insult a woman of such grace.

Infamous? I didn’t realise word had spread so quickly. *sighs* Thank you, though I am rather irritated with her at the moment. In fact, irritated isn’t the word, though I would not go into details.

*looks him over, amused* Hm. Nothing too valuable, I hope.

It's probably because the ladies at court envy the fact that she's managed to snatch you right from their petty little fingers. Well, don't be irritated at her too long -- I'd hate to see Narnia suffer because of it.

It was a few gold chains and gems, but I'll make do.

Yes, his home-coming does seem to have injected some much-needed cheer into everyone!

The pleasure is all mine, Walter. Are you of the court? I’m afraid I don;t recognize you.

I've arrived a few months ago, but yes. I'm of the court. I tend to stay away from it as much as I can though. I believe I've seen you around with the Princess Consort -- someone like yourself is very hard to miss.

#it's okay idm at all :)

Some might say it’s a bad thing if you told them that. Some people like to stir up trouble on purpose. Like my wife, usually.

Yes, indeed there will be. In a few hours, in fact, so we need not wait long. And thefts? How do you know about those, my lord? *raises his eyebrows, amused*
