[ When the camera first turns on, it's a pretty blinding white as the light levels adjust to all the snow and sunlight about. It takes a moment, but eventually the picture becomes clear and the lens turns to Gareth, who gives a bright smile and wave before setting the camera up on a nearby post to point at what she'd been doing. ]

Let's see... Hello all! Sir Gareth of Orkney here, and, well, I hope the weather's not being too much of a bother. Usually it snows much later in winter, where I'm from, so this all came as a surprise for me, too...

[ Now that the work of plowing down the snow to more reasonable levels outside of the home she shared with Kadoc was done, Gareth had set about something else, standing aside to gesture at two snowy sculptures of vaguely familiar figures. ]

Ah, it probably needs some work, right?

[ Snow sculpting, even with Elemental magic, was harder than it looked. ]

Well, all snow aside, I'm also trying out some new scone recipes, and nothing warms the blood like good scones, a beer, and a fire to sit beside! I've got all three, here, if you want a chance to put up your feet for a bit!

Well, if they ever come here, I'm going to tell them all about your good points! They'll totally wanna be buds with the lady who taught me how to bake!

[beaumains]

And then they'll hear of my champion status and I'll not hear the end of it.

[ Not that she sounded like she would mind, given they were just kids. ]

[sos_pilot]

Oh, shush! They've got their own fair share of losses underneath their feathers, they're not one to harp on about it.

... Except to each other, but that's siblings for you.

I'm just never certain how to deal with the whole concept of celebrity.

While I was helping with the kitchen work to help keep the refugees fed, a great number of them recognized me. It was pretty awkward.

That's the price of fame! After all, if another tournament came up, I doubt you'd say no, right?

[beaumains]

True, but as a Knight, I never seek out these competitions for glory or fame, but for the measure of my strength and ability. The honor of the sport, you know?

[sos_pilot]

Oof - too pure! You're too pure, teach! I'm gunna go blind by all that shining purity!

[ she's teasing, but lovingly so. ]

[beaumains]

Is that not the sort of thing a knight should aim to be?

[sos_pilot]

Not only that, you're kind of the knight everyone should aspire to be!

[beaumains]

Now you're starting to talk like my brother...

[ Not that she minded. ]

[sos_pilot]

Don't worry, I won't go that deep. We'll always be Teach and Student!
