[D3 LA] Embroidering Roses

[Septa Gwyn]

After the dressage, in the shade of the flowers, Septa Gwyn stiffly observes a group of Lysa's ladies-in-waiting as the gossip happily about the horses and riders in the first of the displays. Each has some sort of activity at hand, embroidery or lace making or the like, to pretend that they are doing more than chirp like little birds.

[Jynessa Tremaine]

Jyn walked over to the Septa with a faint smile on her lips. "Good afternoon, Septa. Pray tell, did you enjoy the dressage?" She let out a small giggle. "I would have tried my hand it myself if I was better at it. But I find it better to not try than to make a fool of one's self."

[Septa Gwyn]

"I have little interest in prancing horses, and less in prancing knights. But the ladies seemed to have enjoyed things," she indicated to where the girls were sewing, a few looked up and waved Jynessa over to join them. Many of them were familiar to the younger twin, though very few had been with Lysa for as long as the Cold Septa, usually staying for a few years before returning home, or being sent to another Keep.

[Jynessa Tremaine]

The Tremaine lady waved to the others and indicated that she would join them shortly. She then turned to the Septa with a broader smile. "I suppose we are still young enough to be labeled as girls. Well, most of us." She blinked and covered her mouth in astonishment. "Oh, I very much did not mean to speak poorly of Shana Crane."

[Septa Gwyn]

The Septa did not so much as raise an eyebrow, "a lady should take care to think before she speaks. Ugly words make for ugly mouths."

[Jynessa Tremaine]

"Of course. Please pardon me, Septa," she said before dipping her head. She then looked back up with a blank expression on her face. "But speaking of Shana Crane, I find myself wondering how I have never met her before. Where is she from, anyways?"

[GhostWolfe]

In order to extract anything from the Cold Septa, you will need to initiate an Intrigue!

Roll Status for Initiative, and set your starting Disposition.

[Jynessa Tremaine]

Jyn glanced over to the crowd of ladies-in-waiting, wondering if Shana was there, before returning her attention back to the Septa.
