eleven breaks of the stone

[Fairies. Again. He should have known.

There was a suspicious amount of whimsy going around and the serious knight didn't like it. Besides, he'd had enough dealings with the fey to make him wary.

He's on his way out to the stables now - his Glameow, Maudie, perched imperiously on one of his shoulders. Skirting a fairy ring, he pauses to fish out his journal...]

I feel I must advise caution.

On my world, the Little People - the fey-folk - are a troublesome lot. Few are creatures of outright evil, but they think only of themselves are their whims, and their whims are something we mortals cannot understand.

I would give this ball - and it's hosts - a wide berth. Or, in the very least, go armed. If these creatures are like the ones I remember, they fear the touch of metal. Though I don't intend to test that myself, without need...

[He hesitates a moment and then sets a filter]

Would you like to learn to ride today?

((ooc: Open in person as well! FYI, this is likely to be his last post, so get your dose of the gloomy knight before he's gone))

You've run into trouble with them at home?

[craggyfaced]

Some, yes. They cast themselves as our allies, having as much stake in the fate of the world as us, though they have rather selective ways of being of help. My lady rode out to seek their aid, and they nearly attacked us for simply being in their lands. I do not remember it, but I believe they used magic on me. I believe I would have died, if she had not intervened.

[that's...grim]

Might be your turn to save someone from them now.

[Grim is Durge's middle name]

Perhaps. I will remain at distance and keep an eye on things. Though with the Little People, one can not always trust their senses.

[squartatore]

[a tad dryly:] I kind of expected that, too.

[reminds her of witch barriers. Those didn't follow conventional laws of perception, either, and were made to cause harm for those who were drawn into them]

[craggyfaced]

Have you encountered them as well?

[He's not sure if these fey match up with the ones from home]

[squartatore]

Not where I come from. [which may or may not be a good thing :\] I'm sure those who followed us to Paris caused their share of trouble.

[craggyfaced]

Yes, I remember those as well.
