This is mostly for people that I know but... Is there anyone here able to do a bit of housesitting later this month? I'll probably be gone for most of the month, and my familiar won't be able to take care of the place while I'm away.

If anyone's interested, I can offer a bit of compensation for your time and efforts. It won't be all that hard either, just water some plants and occasionally clean the place up.

Wait, I remember hearing about that.

[ She didn't have any titles in this world, so she wouldn't have been asked directly, but word did travel, and... ]

I insist you take me with you, my lady!

[whole thread is now private]

[resistetmords]

Did you? People must be talking a bit too much then. Loose lips do sink ships.

[She knows all too well. Perhaps she should ask Arthur to tighten up intelligence security? She did think about taking Gareth along initially, and was still debating on who, and what, she should bring along. Arms and armor were a given, it's also essentially a steppe too... hm....]

Worried about me are you~?

[She was still stalling a concrete answer here while also not missing a moment to tease.]

[beaumains]

Perhaps, but moreover, I've experience with these fiends, having fought off a bandit horde of them not long after I arrived here.

[resistetmords]

So did I, they're quite the persistent type. Good at skirmishing and holding their ground. Beyond that, they also tend to be very opportunistic.

[Good at causing shock, getting in and out quickly, as should be expected of highwaymen. She wondered if the village had experienced hunters among them.]

They're basically bullies. [There was a pause filled with ellipses as she typed and re-typed her next words. Did she want to drag someone else into this? Maybe she shouldn't have said anything.] ...Do you have experience training townsfolk?

[beaumains]

I've not taken a squire of my own, but I can pass on Lancelot's teachings perfectly well.

[resistetmords]

But you don't have experience in teaching....

[Having Gareth along would be a major boon! She can also handle herself, there was no doubt about that in her mind. But... her mind goes towards a bruised and battered Gareth after the tournament, people fighting, getting severely harmed, and worse for her. Then back towards attempting to cover it up behind the notion of thinking what she needed.]

How about skirmishing, digging defenses? Making traps?

[beaumains]

I can definitely handle all of that! I'm a Knight of the Round, after all!

[resistetmords]

I know you are. And I know you can handle yourself just as well.

But sometimes...

...

Sometimes a knight isn't what's needed for a job.

[That... hurts. Even just typing it out.]

[resistetmords]

...

[resistetmords]

...Give me sometime to think about it? I'll let you know soon!

[beaumains]

[ Hm. ]

Right. I'll await your word, my lady.

[resistetmords]

Thank you, mon bon chavalier. For all the help you've given me since we got here.
