    Jasmine nodded, a thoughtful look on her face. “Thank you, my Lady. I think that his heart is good.  I believe that he is cruel only when he has to be. That is the way of warriors, isn’t it?”

     “I have some thinking to do.  If you will excuse me, my Lady, I’ll retire for the night,” Jasmine said.

The Next afternoon..

     The Keyholder comes in grumpy from a visit to the Lady Mayor of Crowhaven and immediately retires to her bedchamber for a nap.

     Somewhat less grumpy Keyholder emerges from her bedchamber. I hope the cook has a good soup on the menu for SecondMeal. I am starving!

     Penthesilea follows her nose to the Dining Hall and finds to her joy that the cook has prepared Penth’s favorite soup for SecondMeal.

     Penthesilea helps herself to a steaming mug of the thick soup and several hot, crusty rolls with fresh butter.  A serving girl brings her a pitcher of iced tea with a glass of ice and the Keyholder smiles her gratitude. Politics was thirsty work as well as trying to the nerves!  She has a second helping of soup before allowing a server to remove plate, glass and mug.

Near sundown....

     Jasmine is sitting on one of the benches in the Main Courtyard with a nearly empty bottle of the local brew at her side. “I’m will NOT go to the Demon’s Den again!” she swears.

     The Keyholder wanders up.  “From what little I've seen of that tavern, that is probably a good idea.”

     Jasmine takes another drink from her bottle. “It’s not a good environment for me. I forget all the manners I was ever taught!”
    “Then by all means, if that concerns you, you should avoid it.”  Penthesilea smiles ruefully. “I’d like to stay and chat but duty calls.” Jasmine nods and Penthesilea goes on her way. Once she is out of sight, Jasmine notices the DarkLord Kodiak lurking in the afternoon shadows, watching her.

     Once he knows that Penthesilea is out of earshot, Kodiak begins to laugh.

     Jasmine glares at him indignantly. “What’s the matter? Don’t you think I can be a proper lady if I decide to? Or stay away from the Demon’s Den?”

     Jasmine glared at him, looking like an outraged kitten. “They say proper ladies don’t get into bar fights or drink unidentifiable brews and do things they won’t remember until they finally pass out!”

     Her errand completed, Penthesilea returns to the Castle. As she enters the Courtyard, she notices the shadowy male figure with Jasmine. Curious, she casts a quick “Don’t notice me” spell on herself and moves closer.

     Penthesilea arrives in earshot in time to hear Jasmine’s next remark.
     “I want to be a proper lady!  I’m tired of dirty taverns and bar room brawls!”
     Penth can’t clearly see who Jasmine is talking to beyond the fact that he is male and likely not Sir Michael. She decides to give them both a bit of a start and drops her spell.

#1331   Penthesilea

     The Keyholder appears out of the night.  “It has been my experience that "they" are usually too busy with their own lives to bother about mine. If "they" should be as so unwise to comment, I tell them to mind their own business -- as forcefully as necessary. Now, by most standards, I'm considered a proper woman. I keep my Castle and ride herd on my unruly offspring but I have, when needed, fought goblins, and zombies and just about every vile thing you can imagine. I've raided dungeons, stolen treasure from under a sleeping dragon's nose and lived to tell the tale! I can teach you how to be a proper lady, Jasmine, when you want or need to be one. I can also teach you how to be a warrior and a woman.”   
The Keyholder steps back into the darkness and disappears.

     Penthesilea tried to follow the mysterious stranger but he was too elusive. She thought about questioning Jasmine about him but decided against it. For some reason, she felt a bit shy about asking the younger woman about him and until she had puzzled out why she was reacting that way, she would put off making inquiries. Of course, if the opportunity to catch him presented itself, she would certainly take it and get her answers straight from the source!

     Jasmine took Penthesilea’s advice and stayed away from the Demon’s Den tavern much to the dismay of several men who had enjoyed her favors while she had a room there. Much to her disappointment, the handsome Darklord did not seem to care one way or the other about her. This stung her pride more than a little and she resolved to do something about it.  She hadn’t decided what action to take but she had several ideas.

     In his room in the Nightkin’s Mansion, Kodiak stayed out of sight of the Castle’s lady and her circle. The matriarch of the Nightkin tribe wasn’t especially happy about his secrecy but he had assured her that he meant Penthesilea and her family no harm and that he was merely assuring himself that it was safe to reveal himself before he did so. He hinted at previous ocassions when lack of caution on his part had had disasterous consequences and that was enough to convince her to remain silent. She knew all too much about disasterous consequences.

The next morning..

     Penthesilea dressed for the day in tough work clothes.  There was an overwhelming amount of work to do inside of the Mile Wall to get the estate back into shape. She could have used magick to do it but magick of that type could be undone by any number of countermeasures. Penth was of the opinion that the job of clearing and building, once done, should stay done. That meant manual labor of which she had never been afraid. So every morning she and her girls dressed accordingly and joined the work crews.
