It is true that Kath did not write very dramatically for Kara. She (Kara) is a pretty sensible, down to earth girl, who gets along quite easily with everybody. I read your post and liked it a lot, really. I thought her thought processes were fine. At the end, though, she probably would collapse. She can burst into tears. I kind of see her standing next to Saeryn, holding onto one hand as she says what you have her say about Erbrand telling her where to find her.

I really like the idea of Lilige telling Scyrr that Kara loved Erbrand. In fact, she doesn't even have to tell Scyrr that Kara is Erbrand's love, she can just let out the fact that Kara says she knows where Erbrand went, and that will probably get Scyrr to come after her anyway.

I'm going to try to post something for Saeryn tonight.

How are all the men doing in the courtyard, Durelin and Nogrod?

That is, if she either liked him or sympathized with him enough to tell him what he learned. If Scyrr wasn't friendly with her, (This may depend on whether Lilige was pretty; he wouldn't be a jerk to someone he likes or perhaps even has a crush on! Tho' I do not know whether this is a line that you'd be willing to pursue, Loslote), then he would have to find out from some other source.

I'm fine with that. Lilige would tell him; she sympathizes with Athanar's men and would never expect him to put the knowledge to any use at all, much less violent use...she just wouldn't think of it.

As for the other part, Lilige's an average Rohirrim woman. Scyrr can like her if you want him to; Lilige probably wouldn't notice, and if she did, would decide to ignore anything she did notice, assuming she was just imagining it...so do whatever you like with that.

It does make the most sense. The local people would be hesitant to tell him, but Lilige wouldn't.

EDIT: Hey, Mnemo, where would Wynflaed be?

As for Eorl's post for Kara, it should be edited at least a bit - for Kath definitely stated Kara did not want to marry Erbrand, and we should keep loyal to that. So if you edit it so that she's just very upset by all that's happened but remove all the thoughts of marriage and kids, because whatever Groin wrote, Kath didn't write Kara as if she was truly in love with Erbrand, more that she liked him and didn't have any strong feelings (yet).

Anyway, nice job people! I will write as soon as I manage... But I'm really busy atm.

Okay. I'd obviously forgotten that.

Ah, I see. Thank you, Lommy. I based my post mostly off Groin's and thought that they were in love with each other.
I have to run to school right now but will edit (and tone down Kara's emotions) as soon as I come back!

EDIT. I toned down Kara's emotions and took out the incriminating ruminations about marriage as requested.

Nogrod? Durelin? Are either you around? Is anybody around? I wrote Mnemo, and she said she'd be posting as soon as life slowed down for her... I was getting all excited and then things fell quiet. I'm sad now.

I'm around and more or less alive. I will write something tomorrow (it's now 3.30 AM).

Don't be sad Foley! People just have different timetables...

I'll promise to catch up with lord Athanar tomorrow.
