LOL I guess my character gets more involvement than I was expecting!  I finally brush up on what's going on and see that my character's family is having a wedding.  I was going to laugh even harder if it was Viorica's wedding.  So far she's only been married once.  I expect because it was kind of an ordeal rather than a normal marriage she's been reluctant to tie the knot again.  Though I can see where her father might still be looking for some suitable matches for her, even among the foreigners. Especially since her time away from her family has left her to be something of a spinster (doh!)<br/><br/>If it was Viorica's wedding though I think the husband would have to be mostly for looks, maybe include him in her luggage.  She does have two Equs after all.  I'd rather say it is a cousin or sister's wedding since that avoids weird complications and hangers on.  Besides I think she might like to dance for the Thaecian if she was so keen on inviting him to play music at the wedding.<br/><br/>I want to say that the reason she invited the Thaecian is that he helped her out when she was on the run after killing her foreign husband.  That seems like the sort of thing a cavalier minstrel might do and if he is in good with the Saristra he might have been able to get her back in touch with her family quickly.  For that she would definitely be grateful.
