Whoa, wait a second.  It's true that Theadric is honored by Lavy Averlee's presence; this is the first time that he has ever had supper with a royal princess.  And yes, he had studied Lady Averlee's jousting competitions in festival many, many times.  But, he was not sure that he liked this custom of fawning all over royal persons, moving to different tables, placing such a high honor upon the royalty.  Nonetheless, he had been asked, and his master had taught him some degree of respectability.<br/><br/>However, these coins he now possessed - his master would be quite pleased.  He still had the arrow in his hand that made the kill seeing he had little chance of placing it back in his home.  This was all new to him, and her men did not seem to be threatened by her majesty.  Perhaps his feelings were all for naught.<br/><br/>He wished Dream Weaver were back; but from the looks of it, she was gone for good.  The High Lady invited him to the meal, he would not be so brash as to brush it off.  This time, he bowed before Lady Averlee as his master had taught him to do "just in case" he should ever be a guest at a house of someone "other" than a "commoner".  Further, he would be seated after she was seated.  Only someone's equal could hold the chair for her, though.  That he dare not do.<br/><br/>Lady Averlee was very beautiful.  Theadric, however, had no romantic attraction to her.  Besides, dream weaver had told him to stop sleeping around, he was better than that.  To which he did; he had been, these past four seasons, without a woman lustfully.  Now, he was in the presence of one of the highest ladies of the land.  It was only when he realized the sheer absurdity of the situation he began to slightly panic.  Magic arrows, Festival of Trees, fleeing dream weaver ... what was happening to this little commoner?
