07.09d: Pecking Order

[Joshua]

There are some things that are well beyond the ability of warfare and simply go into stuff. For example, it is relatively easy to overlook the obvious use a goblin will make with a streamer-dart.

Blitz and Grim will thank Alys, and make quick but polite and slightly reverent small-talk.

At the last joust, Blitz will decide to award his streamer to the bugbear for defending the joust. He will go to toss the dart at the bugbear.

Alys had been starting to walk back to Cameron - but when the gnome winds up to throw, she's back in time to snatch the streamer out of mid-air - and then holds it back out to Blitz. "I would advise," she comments dryly, "That throwing this at Sorog* is more likely to be perceived as intending violence than reward; perhaps handing it to him would work better?"

Regardless of response, she'll head back to talk to Cameron - though again, she's moving; this time towards Kizak and Ashara.**

* The bugbear has a name.
** And a new thread, which is up here.

Cameron gets a quirk of a grin as he watches Blitz wind up to throw the dart - it is the obvious approach to such a gift, yes? He gives in and actually chuckles as Alys intercepts, noting her skills in catching the dart in mid-throw. He's still wrapped up in seeing the chastened pair to realize Alys has moved on, and turns to follow.

(OOC: Sorry for the delayed response. Been some RL issues that kept me away.)
