JANUARY '21 Fennore's first official Call to Court as a sub-leader! :') But things are nnnnot really going as smoothly as she planned. While the Realm at large seems pleased with her new position, there are a few that are less so. Rand Coara, Old Caledonian elitist, gives her trouble, Bellad is being distant, and on top of literally everything else, for some godforsaken reason, her sister of all people finds her way to the pack. It's one hell of a SoSu season, lemme tell ya.
Threads
- the Call to Court
Iomair and Fennore welcome their guests to the second annual Court. Fen's new position is formally announced, and she initiates the traditional Duel between Sun and Moon.
- remember when
Fen is in a good mood and decides to give old friend Calan another chance. They haven't really uhhhh come to terms with Cal's faux pas some months ago.
- show me the way as the story unfolds
Seeking out Bellad on the dance floor, Fennore notices that something is... off about him, and it leaves her with an odd feeling.
- [M] construction of the highest quality, blood of my own hand
Lorn priest Rand makes it abundantly clear that he is displeased with Fennore's new status. He makes the insinuation that he knows about her indiscretion with the King from the last Court — and that everyone is under the assumption that she slept her way to the top. It rattles her, to say the least.
- butterfly wings and strings
Against all odds, Eesold O'Hartigan shows up at the Realm's borders, and a rush of unpleasant memories plagues her at the sight of her long-lost sister. It is not the happy reunion that Ees was hoping for.
- the magic runes are writ in gold
Fennore regains a bit of civility and shows Eesold around the Realm, but things are still pretty tense between them. For now. Fen is not keen to let Ees back into her life without an apology for everything she went through in their old clan.
- mythical perfect moment
Bellad's weird behavior has Fennore fearing the worst, and she confronts him; however, there is something else eating at his mind, and Bellad confides in her the true meaning behind his and his brother's burn scars.
- whichever way the wind blows
Fen and Amon happen upon a loner, Firiel Dee (and her sheep), near the Serpentine Mountains.
- i've eaten the sun so my tongue is burned of the taste
With Bellad's confession, Rand's scathing words, and Eesold's unexpected appearance weighing heavily on her mind, Fennore returns the favor to Bel and reveals her own past and how she came to be in New Caledonia.
- olive branch
Intrigued by a loner band to the south, Fen rides out to see what Bête Noire is all about, making their acquaintance and striking some future deals along the way.
