Lady Reyne Mordha (heldbytheblade) wrote in watchers_rp,

That smile said that Lord Dustin would have this hunt held over his held for a fair time. Whether he did or did not, Reyne didn’t actually care, but she would guess that perhaps the boy was ill-suited for a hunt, be it through his health or a lack of skill or interest. Such a lack of knowledge about one’s own children was too common in men. She would never claim to be maternal herself, but when Iliana was young she still knew the girl’s strengths and weaknesses as she knew those of Tanis and Medeia. Besides, there would have been the most unholy tantrum had she tried to make them do something they weren’t ready for or even inclined to attempt. If Reyne was really the better parent, then Dustin deserved whatever bee found its way into his bonnet. Even she might have had a hand in putting it there.

“Indeed, she was first chosen as lady-in-waiting. They met at court, if I remember correctly.” Of course she did, because details like that had made her sister’s intentions rather more apparent and real, thus making Reyne choke on her beverage when she was told. Those were the kind of things one did not forget. “Iliana is a full ten years younger than I. The age gap between herself and Nevina is not much less. It makes for… awkward family gatherings.” A pause. “That she is the only brunette in generations of blondes also stands her apart,” Reyne added with a dry smile. The fact those ‘generations’ were just the other sisters not aging (much) was irrelevant.

Reyne very nearly laughed. “The region, or my home in particular?” She was teasing, after a fashion. On this issue the curiosity of others was something of a puzzlement to her, since she almost certainly thought their home simply ridiculous. “Even in Ardghal, I do not doubt some consider me an eccentric. Outside, I am a scandal.” Now she laughed. “You would think some would reconsider gawping and gossiping about a woman in armour lest she be armed. -- Hence the instructions from my sister, else I would be purposefully embarrassing half of court.” Reyne gave a smile that was a touch smug. She did not need the armour to embarrass court. “Oh, I don’t know about that,” she said almost off-handedly, recalling Nevina’s input during their meeting with the Lady Hand. “Her memory is quite impressive.” Naturally, Reyne would have refreshed it. “Besides, you do not have a face so easily dismissed.” It was true, but really the Bringer just wanted to see what kind of reaction the comment received, if any.
