*The Verge of War* A Medieval Rp

Linnet tried her hardest to focus on her embroidery, but her thoughts kept wandering to Peter. She had sent him a note via Fawn asking him to come this evening. She was bursting with impatience to tell him the news, and every minute seemed to drag by.

Maud, switching the tea tray to her other hip, knocked gently upon Gwen's door. "Tea, your highness," she said loudly as she entered, not bothering to wait.

Richard handed his horse's reins to the stable boy then headed towards the castle at a fast pace.
~~~
Fawn galloped her horse towards Edinburgh Castle. The clouds were darkening, promising rain later, and she intended to be back at Alnwick when they began pouring.
~~~
Edmund slapped some paperwork down on his desk with more force than he meant causing his inkwell to rattle. It was nearly time for tea, but what did that matter as he would be taking it alone, as usual.
~~~
Emilee smiled warmly at her mother. The two had been in deep conversation ever since Emilee had finally arrived little more than a week ago. Anna could hardly believe her eyes, her daughter safe and with her again after sixteen years. Sixteen years she had missed out on her daughter's life. But now she was finally back, they would catch up as best they could on those missed years.
~~~
Katrina hummed to herself as she finished washing a basket of sheets. As soon as the head laundress dismissed her she would check on Gavin, who seemed to finally be healed. She knew he couldn't stay at the castle forever, but the thought of him leaving made her sad and she tried not to think about it.
~~~
Edwin glared across the chess table at Jane, who was beating him at chess for the fourth time that day. His mother, most annoyingly, had insisted that he teach Jane to play. It seemed it ought to be the other way around.
Jane restrained herself from smirking as she silently slid her knight across the checkered board. "Check," she said quietly.

Mariah looked up from her cross stitching to see how the two were faring. She was pleased that they got along so well with each other, and intended to encourage it as much as possible. (Like she knows :rolleyes: XD)
 
Peter couldn't stop grinning. He hadn't seem Linnet in almost a month, but he was finally going to meet with her.

Gwen fumbled with the latch on her box, and shoved it under her blanket. "Er...come in?"

Kat snuck up behind Richard. "Where are you off to in such a hurry, Sir Richard?"
 
Gavin sat in some dark corner of the castle, trying to decide what to do. He couldn't stay. But at the same time he couldn't bear the thought of leaving.
---
Adrienne stroked Calder, humming a quiet tune as she waited for her tea she knew would be coming soon.
---
Cliffton paced his room and stuck his head out into the hall, ordering a random servant to make him a sandwich.
---
Cedric rode back to his cave, his days spoils clanking in a bag tossed across his horse. He dismounted and tied his horse to a tree at the entrance of the cave, grabbing the bag and taking it inside.
---
Genevieve leaned against the wall of the castle, guarding the gate as she watched some birds in a tree. This was a rather boring job, so she occupied herself with whatever she could find.
---
Jephry rode his horse around the castle, looking for something knightly to do.
 
Linnet finally set her embroidery down. There was no point in doing it if she was to just have to undo each stitch because it was messed up due to her inattention. She picked up a book to read but couldn't focus on that either.

Maud, already in, set the tray down. "Good afternoon, your highness," she said. "Looks like rain," she said casually as she poured the tea.

Richard spun around on his heel, nearly colliding with Kat. "Inside, that's where I'm heading. Looks like rain. Where are you going?" He asked bluntly.
~~~
Fawn stopped and dismounted in one smooth movement. Thrusting the reins into the stable boy's hand, she hurried into the castle. Staying in the shadows, she crept up to where Linnet said Peter's room was located.

Katrina dumped the new basket of dirty laundry into the big washing pot. She was supposed to be the princesses' maid, and here she was cleaning sheets.
~~~
Mariah rose from her seat and swept out of the room. She decided Edwin and Jane needed a little time alone and she wanted to go find Audric.

Edwin rolled his eyes. "There she goes. I'm sick of it. Are you sick of it?" Without giving time for her to answer, he stood and went to the window at the other end of the room. Jane switched to a more comfortable position in her chair and began rearranging the chess board. "If you are referring to your mother, then yes, I am quite sick of it," she muttered under her breath. Maybe after this she'd go find Cliftton. He always had something fun to do.

Peter fumbled with the girth. Finally he got the saddle on, and galloped (into the sunset

) off towards Alnwick.

"R-rain? Yes. Of course. Its rain." Gwen stumbled.

Kat shrugged. "Doesn't matter."
