This is the most beautiful post. When Kira asked if I could cook for you and yours at war this July I said yes. I now realize how honored I shall be to serve such a wonderful Baroness. I look forward to serving you as you have served others all these years. Ashlinn nic Norman your humble servant.
We were hosting the Chateline of the West in our camp. A Knight and triple peer brought a squire who had made a mistake back to his camp across he road. He threw the young man in a chair and proceeded to turn the air blue.
I froze with my friend I shared the camp with, praying it would stop. I watched my toddler playing and hoped none of those words would come back out of his mouth.
We were dying of embarrassment of what a representative Kingdom Officer witnessed in our peers. My friend finally got the courage and took this triple peer to task.
He crossed the road later and offered an apology. But... my son could not unhear it, or could any of us.
Oh my goodness. I'd nearly forgotten about this one. It was the worst moment in my SCA.
No...the worst moment was when I did screw up my courage to speak to this man. After the tirade we'd witnessed, I had no idea how he would respond to a simple little "nobody" calling him on the behavior and I was terrified.
As I recall, ours was not the only camp he offered apology to.
I haven't used LJ in YEARS, but I needed to sign in to respond to this.
The queen who gave me my Lion was recently at my house and got her feelings hurt because she didn't see the scroll for it hanging on my wall. She didn't ask me, but my wife mentioned it after our guests left.
She had explained that it was hanging, but not in a prominent place that guests would see. I don't know if that appeased her or just made it seem better at the time. Don't think that those things don't matter to the award givers as well.
