A little.

[ Only a little. ]

Oh? Was it particularly spirited or was it more spiritual?

Oh, spirited, definitely. Coming of age thjng for a bunch of teenagers? Nothing spiritual to be seen. Lots of behaviour to cringe over later.

Anyway, I think it would have been last mont, roughly. All this plant stuff just made me think of it.

Summersday would have been about a month ago- there are no real celebrations in Orlais that I know of. [ She is limited by her experiences in the tower, however. ] Giggling young women and posturing young men?

Huh. I might just have to look into it.

( she laughs, )

And sometimes giggling young men and posturing young women. It wasnt really my scene, I'm too serious.

Somehow I doubt that. [ She can be serious, certainly, but the laughing Ruby is one Adelaide has come to like most. ]

No, it's true. I actually helped get it cancelled my year for it. I was not popular after that.

( or before it, as a matter of fact. )

So you have been denied such a vital part of your youth? We cannot have that.

I was planning on skipping anyway, so you can stop scheming before you start.
( a quiet whump as she jumps from her perch and back to the snow. ) Seemed pretty ridiculous, honestly.

Who's scheming? I do not scheme, Red.

[ She plans. ]

Pretty sure you do. Just an amateur assessment, but ...

I plan. Planning is different from Scheming.

Is there a technical difference, Captain?

But of course.

( ... )

You have no intention of telling me what it is, do you?

Not at all. That would ruin the surprise.

Have I mentioned that I'm huge fan of having things ruined?

You will see when you get back.

[ Something small for morale- a little gathering in the garden with food and drink and music for rifters and mages. It can't hurt, can it? ]
