There's an expedition being planned to the Dead Zone, I don't know if you saw. I intend to go along, and I'd enjoy it much more if you wanted to come, too.

[/Martel]

[Filtered away from people who would try to kill someone in a sparring match]

Anyone up for some sword practice? I could use the exercise.

Yuan forever

[heal_theworld]

Oh, Yuan! [She's so happy you're not worried about her or frantic.] I'm sorry I haven't been around, the Castle decided to turn me into a plant.

And an expedition? I saw that... I'd love to go with you. [She's pretty much an adventurer at heart.]

Martel forever

[cloakand_danger]

I was rather hoping it wasn't that you were avoiding me.

I'm glad. It looks like most of the children will be coming along as well, and I'd hate to be outnumbered.

[heal_theworld]

Of course not. I would never avoid you, love.

Children, huh? [She laughs, because that's one way to put it.] So am I their grandmother now? Because I'm much too old to be their mother.

[cloakand_danger]

I object on the grounds that I refuse to be referred to as anyone's grandfather.

[heal_theworld]

Well, you're not, as you're not married to me yet, are you? If anything, you're Grandmother's handsome young boyfriend. [She's teasing you, Yuan. Oh so much.]

[cloakand_danger]

[He laughs at that.]

Robbing cradles now, are you? I'm sure your friends will be just shocked.

[heal_theworld]

Or jealous. Either or. You have to admit, I have excellent taste in men. Handsome, young and incredibly brave. They only wish they could snag one like that.

[cloakand_danger]

[It takes him a while to find a response to that.]

...You're far too generous with your compliments. I'm going to start getting an inflated ego if you keep that up.

[heal_theworld]

I thought you already had one. [She's just teasing him, though.] Though you do deserve every word of it, trust me.

[cloakand_danger]

...Then it's fitting that I've chosen the kindest, wisest and most beautiful woman in the castle as my bride, isn't it?

[heal_theworld]

Are you certain that's not Galadriel? Because it sounds more like her than me. [Martel, stop being modest.]

[cloakand_danger]

[He pretends thoughtfulness for a moment.] ...No, I'm pretty sure you're the one I'm marrying.

[heal_theworld]

Well, if you're sure... I can't argue with that, then.

[cloakand_danger]

We should have the wedding after we get back from the expedition. That will give us enough time to finalize our plans.

[heal_theworld]

That sounds like a good plan, as we haven't really done very much planning yet.

[wishmadeinfire]

A sparring match? Well, why not? I have not had a good go in awhile. My sword master would be horrified.

[cloakand_danger]

Something we should remedy, then. Where would you prefer to meet?

[wishmadeinfire]

I have no preference, really, but I am in the castle right now, so somewhere near by?

[cloakand_danger]

All right. There are plenty of open spaces on the grounds around the castle to choose from. Out by the duck pond, perhaps, just to have a common landmark.

[wishmadeinfire]

Yes, that works well for me. I can be there in a few moments.

[peacockherald]

I would not mind. I will be available as soon as I come back in - I'm out riding at the moment.

_{[But of course the journal was with him - it always was.]}

[cloakand_danger]

All right. I can meet you near the stables, if you'd like.

[peacockherald]

Oh, that works well. We'd have plenty of space to spar too without risking anyone else since I don't think there's a proper salle.

[cloakand_danger]

Not that I've seen, no. Maybe that should be someone's next project for improving the grounds.

In any case, I'll make my way out there, then, and meet you when you get in.

[peacockherald]

It would be something to do. I would go into it with you, if you like.

Certainly. I shouldn't be to long.

_{[And the journal goes quiet as Vanyel urges Yfandes into a light gallop to head back to the stables so he would be there the same time as Yuan.]}

Yuan

[kungfuwitch]

I'm up for some sparring if you haven't found a partner.

Phoebe

[cloakand_danger]

I've found a couple of them, but I wouldn't be adverse to scheduling for another day?

Yuan

[kungfuwitch]

I'd like that. I've found a few people to spar with but I haven't been able to practice with a sword in a while.
