did i write at all this past week? notttt realllyyyy

but i do have more of the Iorveth Gets The Flu story to post, and I was going to polish it this morning, but instead suddenly in among the work multitasking the nebulous and numinous muse (i’m just typing words there) was like “oh here is the next bit of Fit For Pearls” and since i’ve been stuck not progressing on that one for a while I was like oh okay I will focus on that. So.

snippet:

“Ah, excuse me,” a voice said– she’d heard someone come in but assumed they were there to take a file from the shelves, which was Ioan’s business to attend to. She glanced up and was startled to recognize the speaker, a young man in a soldier’s uniform. “I’m looking for the latest file on the–”

“Brych,” Luliana blurted, as the recognition slotted into place. “Why it’s– Still a captain, I see.” The insignia was clear on his uniform– the undress uniform for daily wear, no ceremonial patches and no armor, suitable for an officer on peacetime duty within the palace, who would not go about armed.

He blinked at her. “Oh! Ma’am,” he said, and made her a courtesy.

The other insignia that was clear on his uniform was that of the Alba Division, and the realization dawned across Luliana’s awareness of what had surely happened– a likely young man, exonerated and moreover proven to have behaved with merit. He was surely now a staff officer.

“Voorhis poached you, didn’t he,” she said.

Captain Brych smiled, a little shyly. “He did,” he said. “My prospects didn’t look like much, even when the court-martial found me to have behaved correctly, but his secretary was waiting immediately after the whole thing concluded.”

“He’s a sharp one, that Voorhis,” Luliana said.

“He is,” Brych said, “which is funny because that’s not at all the reputation he has.”

“It is not,” Luliana conceded.

Weave! Those! Ends! Back! In!

Anyway I am progressing, and moreover, hopefully have both time and Internet for this week, so we shall see how I do. (Your picture was not posted)
