*curious* Families, or loners? No darker Jeweled ones? *stops, realizing he may be prying* From what i've heard, that's not surprising they'd want to get away.
Way I heard it, no. Their own shortsightedness... *headshake* I should talk. Hm. I'm sorry I didn't make the trip to Kaeleer with Julian and the others. Maybe another time, if the possibility's still open--?
I'm glad...*looks thoughtful* If your duties allow you to visit us, you'd be welcome, too, you know. Especially now...Do Kaeleer males get so nervous about ceremonies too?
(and is also wondering if any of yours, Surreal or anyone, wanted to get in on the happenings at ride_the_edge's journal. Hope you had fun yesterday)
(ooh. Looks cool. Surreal's probably the only one who'd be able to. I may send her over--we're watching movies, so hard to think beyond basic conversation right now. ;) )
Remember Gwydyr? Well, he and his lady Sharan finally agreed to move from something like 'consort' status for him, to marriage--and they're both as nervy as a cat about to have kittens. *imagine extreme rolling of eyes* We've been trying to keep 'em distracted...
Yes, it is. Even if that may be the only time in a thousand years I've heard 'reasonable' used in a sentence referring to my brother. *struggling to keep a straight face* But the Maze should do it..they aren't planning a long wait.
He pauses, answers carefully. "Partly it's a place, part--a competition or testing of sorts, for fighters, those that have magic or do not. One starts at the south entrance, and there are a set of corridors and traps you have to pass through, either to the center or to find the other exit to the north. You can go in armed, and either alone or with one other person. The routes are 'patrolled' by various creatures. Some you have to outwit rather than outfight, others...you need wits and courage as well as strength. If someone succeeds at it, they win a reward--one they can choose, anything within the power of the Four to grant." He smiled ruefully. "One challenger of ours asked to be granted immortality, a human fighter, the last time. Another asked us to help his race learn to change forms, either temporarily or permanently. Sometimes winners ask for more mundane things, wealth, material objects; it's up to them.
There is no punishment as such for failure, someone asked--it isn't a 'safe' game." He smiled wryly. "Ours never are. But this round is open to anyone of the family who'd care to try."
Not the best venue to try it then. You won't want to be distracted. *nods, deferring to her judgment. He stops, seeming to listen* They're just setting up now.

You were one of the first people to make me feel welcome here. Why wouldn't I welcome you to my home?

What sort of ceremonies?

Considering my male relatives, sugar? Your brother seems pretty damn reasonable.
Tell me more about the maze?
