ow, to the tea. That had to suck a bit. =\

I'm kind of surprised that Phoebe's maids don't know to introduce people by first name and last, to help avoid those sorts of confusions, though.

"'Sansoucy' isn't exactly 'Sujayjanth' or 'Sandoval', and my court-language isn't very good besides. Iarlaith-lord seems to think I'm of more use on the move."

Curious now how he came to be a hand. And dying to know why he's being introduced to Phoebe, as it does seem like a kind of odd mix, if one didn't know how well they worked together from the other bits.

Tá. :)

Coincidental but interesting. :)

ouch, tea scalds suck.

i like the way her feelings are described, and i like the way she reminds herself to conduct herself as Queen as opposed to Mage, because they mean different modes of behavior, and that informs even the smallest of gestures.

Tá--Ian Sabaey was last seen sometime just after his son became King. This is somewhere between 300 and 500 years after that, after Aifiric'd married Phoebe.

wow, he's been gone for more than 300 years, and still gets that sort or reception?...(even if it turns out not to be him....)
