On the contrary, Eodwine and Degas have been back since before the dagger throwing contest; they just haven't said or done much. Eodwine is not far, and he will take action if and when he chooses to.

Oh. I didn't realize that. Okay, that's alright.

Regardless, Thornden is Eodwine's second command and therefore IS AN AUTHORITY in Scarburg. Erbrand should by now know this, and should also know that (even he forgets for the moment

) that to pick a fight with Thornden is tantamount to insubordination, and therefore punishable as the Eorl sees fit.

Elempi! Don't scare 'im! I'd be fine if it were me, 'cause I'd go ahead and have my character do my worst just to see what would happen. (You know the whole deal about curiosity killing the cat?) But I don't know about Groin...he might be more timid than I.

littlemanpoet · 12-06-2008, 07:09 AM

I think Groin's confident enough to have Erbrand do what fits Erbrand's character. Besides, Eodwine doesn't run a "police state". This is a pretty easy going group of people in general, and Eodwine likes it that way.

I personally would be interested for Groin to reveal how Erbrand became such a broken person. I mean, someone that capable and strong, so lacking in basic confidence! This guy's history would be an interesting thing to learn about.

(hint hint)

Incidentally, seems like Saeryn's been pretty quiet lately. Wouldn't mind reading some of her refreshing personality at work. hint hint

Groin Redbeard · 12-06-2008, 03:57 PM

I'm glad that our posts are amusing everyone Folwren!

Erbrand won't strike at Thornden, as he very well might Crabannan (ha, spelled it right, I think

). I won't spoil the rest of what I have in mind, but those few posts have unleashed a dam of possibilities for me.

I'll see what I can do this evening.

Folwren · 12-06-2008, 04:27 PM

Groin, I am definitely looking forward to your post to see just what Erbrand does.

Elempi, I've posted for Saeryn. That might amuse you.

This certain has turned into a courtship story....seriously....

In her mind’s eye she saw Erbrand and Kara embracing, and Harreld and Kara watching at a little distance, holding hands.

Folwren, unless Erbrand has yet another rival, that second Kara maybe ought to be Ginna?

Folwren · 12-07-2008, 11:59 AM

Oh my goodness!

Nogrod, this certainly confuses matters. I'll PM you.

Groin, that's quite a post! Poor Thornden! Poor Erbrand! Such a misunderstanding! And he stormed off, so Thornden doesn't have a chance to answer!

No worries, I took absolutely nothing personally.

Okay, I guess that's all that can be said at this point. I might post once more before the quarterstaff fight, but it looks like we're ready for you, Noggy.
Cheers.

Oh! He's alreayd edited! I see! I see! Excellent. This is even more fun. I am definitely deriving FAR too much pleasure from this.

I'll post tonight.

littlemanpoet · 12-07-2008, 09:25 PM

I think I like what you've had Harreld say, Foley. I was considering asking you to change it so that Harreld demands an apology from Erbrand for Thornden's sake, but upon consideration, that's something Eodwine would do, not Harreld. So it's just right how it is. I like how Thornden stays above it. Hee hee! I like the good cop/bad cop action here.

Folwren · 12-10-2008, 10:04 PM

Well, to pass the time of day, I have written a post for Saeryn.

I have two things to say. One, it is very interesting writing about one character talking so about another of my characters... And two, I have been reading far too much Jane Austen lately, clearly.
