The invitation is just a pretext to get him here to cut off his head and give it to Alice as a wedding present! Women love decapitated enemies, right?


I had one character who managed to woo his lady with a boiled down skull and a flower whilst wearing only pants. It's all about confidence and presentation!

Nothing says "I love you" like the severed head of a mortal foe. Or flowers. Or pants. Though it might be more confident to not wear pants.

This was....not that kind of romance.

As it turned out, not wearing pants was preferable to the lady. But he never wore any, being a raving lunatic northman and all, so wearing them took confidence :p

Power-couple status  ;D I'm still hoping that news doesn't reach Brom and Hendrick can extend the above invitation.

Poor Hendrick, I had such high hopes for him. Does Alice know the truth of things?

Oh well. I'd watch out though Hendrick. That woman's family has a problem of having their husband's poisoned...then killing themselves. Not a good pattern, I'd say.

Oh, never fear - there is always more to Hendrick than there seems and Alice certainly isn't aware of the half of it. Arundel and I are in the midst of some writing to that effect, but in the meantime Brom's unintentional mentoring (RE: Stuff Brom Does) took root.

Ah love - the romancing, the wooing, the poisoning. I think the danger is mutual on both sides in this case  ;D We'll see how things shake out. Expect a wedding invitation!

And so the Lurian conflict has once again fallen to common gossip and love triangles  ::)  :P

I miss the old days when civil wars were about stuff that mattered, like squashing your rival dukes and taking their goldz.

Amen, comatose brother-in-law  :D

No no no. We're finally getting this house in order and setting the furniture up nicely and getting the bloodstains out of the carpet. The last thing we need is Brom to come and crash with us for a month and leave the place a total mess with three more dead kings and ladies dangling from every balcony  ;D

She was lonely, not my fault she chose the balcony instead of nice Brom. (Yes, I'm keeping up the rhetoric)

Fine, I'll let y'all get things in order. It'll be nice to see a united Luria for once. Plus, we'll see if it can actually last without Brom there. I mean if it can't what will me being there hurt anyway?

A Luria that is united is like a dog that speaks: very rare. A Luria that stays united is like a dog that speaks Norwegian: even rarer!

You're right, I should amend that - either Brom has a harem of wives or we have new corpse decorations from all our lighting fixtures  ;D

And it certainly wouldn't hurt to have Brom back after everything is nice and tidy. Well, I mean it wouldn't hurt us but Brom's well-being might be a different matter entirely.

Whelp, there we go. Confederacy of the Norwegian Talking Dog. I guess I have to rename that treaty.
