@RangingWolfThe orginal post Juliana returned to the table, but given the responses to the event I was simply going to edit out the last bit, and keep her with the Gullys at the moment.

I'll be fixing that posts ending shortly, then wait for you and @tmitche23 before adding to the choas.

Gods help me, another Gully. Juliana felt the wave of surprise at his title and family, the man nothing like the Lord Tybalt she had met earlier. The man had been a nephew, making his cousin to her new speaking companion, and curiosity in the age difference filled her. Ithobal was missing the same cold manners of his relative, the strict look and stiffness. From what she had heard of the family she had imaged they were a serious bunch. Juliana’s assumption had been proven wrong by his comment about a scarred lady. Her eyebrows rose slightly as she let out a small noise that sounded like she had held in a laugh, speaking in the same light manner, “Indeed, even the faintest of marks would make her untouchable. The whole land would be in turmoil simply from a deranged cat.”

The cat glared up at her new mistress and the lord as though it understood their words, but did not squirm. The kitten was unusually calm for an animal its age. “How very kind of you.” Juliana took his forgiveness of his gracefully, although she noticed the look he gave her as he finished, the word foolish punctuated with a look of disbelief. The look held an intelligence she welcomed, despite some discomfort knowing he had so easily seen past her. That she didn’t like, and the feeling was unfamiliar given how rarely it happened. She was slightly relieved when his eyes left hers and caught sight of brother.

As he spoke of the tournament she smiled at the mention of his father, the only Gully she had truly heard a great deal of gossip surrounding. Her own father seemed suspicious of the man, and Juliana made note of the relationship between the two before smiling again, lowering her voice so only he could hear. “Ah, a pity. I should have given the princess the cat after all it would seem. Then you would have lost the tournament to avoid marrying an unfit lady.” Her tongue had taken on a mind of its own, and the comment came across as flirtatious as well as teasing. What was said was done and she moved on without missing a beat. “Yes, you will find that if you come across one Hyland, another is always nearby. He is one of my brothers. A loyal man, with a temper to shake the mountains.”

Juliana looked up at him then, her face passive as she described her brother, accidently forgetting to mention how kind Bailan also was. She regarded his comment about the window, wondering how serious the man was and regarded him with her sly look. “You may visit my window all you like, but I dare say my sister would not be pleased.” Juliana glanced at her brother, keeping her voice low and a half smile, “Besides, I had a mind to explore the lovely gardens this evening. There is a peace under the stars, don’t you find Lord Ithobal?”

She fashioned him with an almost competitive smile, knowing she had given him the power to show up or leave her in the gardens that evening. The power lay with him, but she felt far from defenseless. She had no intention of being easy prey for any lord, regardless of their family, but curiosity and the intelligence in his eyes had won him another chance to speak with her.

With only one from a family, does this mean a bastard can't join? I now Tiras is planning on participating, so does that mean Edwin or Trystan can't?

Juliana was still mulling over her brothers words, whispered before meeting the royal family. The thought of anything happening to Tystan or Edwin in the tournament made her stomach twist and throat tighten, her eyes darting the room as if she would be able to find the Lord Gully then and there. But no, that wasn’t wise. Hunting down a man, a lord and nephew of an important man, was not a reasonable solution. Besides, even if she managed to find him, what man double her age would listen to the foolish words of a woman before a fight? Juliana could not even recall if the man would actually be participating. Her worry and concern would do her little good, and Juliana did her best to push them out of her mind, while keeping her composer in the large hall.

The thoughts raced in her head as she scooped up the cat, stopping as she heard a voice address her. The creature looked up at her with its gleaming yellowing eyes, and her own eye darted to the sound of the voice with a twinge of curiosity. For a moment the teasing in the words made her wonder if it had been her eldest brother, but the voice did not match his and she knew he was still entertaining the royals with mother. Her eyes instead fell on a young man only a few years older than she was. He had a plain face and was well dressed, his voice holding the humor of his words despite the tentativeness of his features.

She dropped into a half curtsey, as any lady of her standing would present to a lord. Although she was unable to place his family, she felt it was safe the man was at least a minor lord, if not higher, given his armor and the way he held himself. As she raised herself back up, she gave him a sweet smile that still held the edge of mischief. A feature she had difficultly hiding. “Forgive me, my lord, I would hate for you to think me rude." Her eyes darted to Balian, he had managed to pass her and retuned to their families table, drinking and his eyes on her and the young man. “In truth, I was trying to spare myself the glares of the King and Queen. Can you image their distaste if I presented the animal to the princess and it scratched her? I would never be able to outlive the shame of harming her majesty. And I doubt her future husband would be pleased.”

The words were true enough, the humor of her slight teasing subtle in the innocent words. Her wit was something her siblings could easily have noticed but was often lost on those who only took her words at face value. A trait she disliked in most people if truth be told. “I hope you can forgive my rude behavior, and not find me too foolish.” She gave a light laugh and looked away for a moment, her eyes downcast before returning to him, the picture of a lady. She had perfected the look over the years, confident in its effect. “My name is the Lady Juliana Hyland, of Mount Promonon. Are you here to participate in the tournament, my lord?”

@Harley Q Dogs can always be bought however.

Besides I think using them to feed sharks out at sea would be a tad worse.

You're real sick, you know that?

<Snipped quote by Harley Q>

No, it's hard to have dogs since they wouldn't occur naturally on islands like that of the Serpents Roost.

@Buddha

Thank god! I would hate my for future niece/nephew to be turned into kibble.

Babies? BABIES?

More babies to kill when we do go to war, fuck yeah!

@Buddha

Hahahah oh god, Lord Tybalt doesn't own dogs does he?
