[ Gwen is sewing.

There is so much time to fill these days that she takes these projects, uses them to pass her hours and keep her mind occupied with simple things rather than her worries and lord knows she has plenty.

In her lap, a dress is laid, more of a gown of silks in shades of royal blue and lighter blue. It is an impressive piece, one she is working on for many weeks on from the look of her fingers, she had poked herself with the needle more than once.

Still she works, sewing what looks like a golden embodiment on the edges.

Beside her is a cup of tea and actually, it's not the gown she wants to talk about. ]


It's rather brilliant.

[ she takes the cup, sips her tea. ]

Are they really tea-leaves? I have never heard of any leaves that can make something so wonderful. In Camelot we only have water and if you're fortunate you have milk.

[ and ale and mead and wine, but Gwen never tried those. ]

N-not that I mind the milk and the water. Or Camelot, really, I miss it quite often but -

[ she's doing it again isn't she? the babbling. She stops, smiles. ]

It is rather brilliant. Where can one find those...tea leaves? Where do they grow?

That you show her such consideration even now will surely win her over, Guinevere.

Such clothing is not considered seemly for women in my kingdom.

[Breeches, that is. She doesn't sound..scornful, exactly, but it's clear she has little taste for wearing them. She's not Vanir.]

Those not on duty, at least.

All women of the Aesir take great pride in being part of the Valkyrie forces.

Those that leave.. Have less say, but certainly would not garb themselves as men do.

The nation of Titania lacks women within their ranks, but both my homeland Ragnanival, and even the Vanir of Ringford have female warriors.

[She's not..scornful, exactly, when mentioning the Vanir, but her tone shifts a little. Reluctant to speak well of her nation's enemy.

She brightens a little.

But now that we have met, you can say for certainty that you have met one!
