Saturday, May 20

This session covered "The Rest of the Weekend". Vic found himself in bed, stripped out of his clothes, and feeling sick from too much coffee. Alia was still in pain and had a ghastly bruise on her side. Kevin and Sammuel were doing just dandy.

This session also brought the introduction of two new characters: Gordon, son of Corwin, and Cyrus, son of Gérard. Gordon opened things up with cleaning up his room and having a charming interlude with Florimel.

During the course of that Saturday, Benjamin resurfaces looking... satiated. He thanks Vic for hooking him up.

Later that day, it turns out that there's a state dinner with visiting dignitaries, and of course Alia is expected to attend. She finds out about it just after reading a note from Vic inviting her to his room for drinks. She swings by Vic's room, they decide to reschedule till later, and everyone goes down for the dinner. Everyone, that is, excepted Kevin and Erika, who are having a private dinner in his room. Conversation ensues, and then everyone goes to bed early and innocently.

The next day everyone gets up and goes to weapons practice.

Kevin, Alia, Victor, Gordon, Cyrus, and Michael all arrive, and wait for Benedict to show up to begin instruction.

The class was split up into two groups. Vic, Alia, and Michael were in one group practicing swordplay. Gordon, Cyrus, and Kevin were in the other group whacking each other with large things.

At one point, Cyrus and Kevin tossed a head of lettuce towards Vic and Alia, who were sparring. Alia, of course, recognized the lettuce as not being a threat. Vic, of course, recognized this as a moment to show off. She got three swings through the lettuce before it hit the ground.

Alia got a touch on Vic while he was showing off. Michael got a touch on Alia while she was being smug towards Vic.

After weapons practice, the genders split up and hit the baths. Kevin voiced his confusion on how to proceed with Erika. Speaking of which, Erika was in the baths with Alia, and they started discussing their male cousins...

Off-camera, of course.

Sometime during the course of this weekend, Gordon (?) spotted an suspicious figure leaving the castle. I don't know anything else, as I was paying attention elsewhere.

Also, Sonora recovered some under the ministrations of her Aunt Fiona, and later received a bevy of visits from her adoring cousins. There was a small competition to see who could get her the best flowers.
