7th May
Summer Evening - Taselak
Joselyn Hensley
The Fruit Fête
The day had dawned as bright and blue as you could dream of a May day being. Joselyn’s steward’s personal belief was that the weather wouldn’t have dared to spoil Her Majesty’s party. Matilda was quite fond of Queen Joselyn, she was a fair mistress and kind enough; but, she did not like to be crossed.
“What are the final reports, Matilda? Are we ready to open?”
“Yes, your Majesty, all the stalls are up, games and vendors ready, agricultural displays arranged. There were a few minor issues locating the baby animal area,” Matilda risked a sideways glance at her mistress who had made this last minute addition, “but it’s been resolved and the animals are ready to be…touched.” Matilda was a city woman born and bred and couldn’t fathom why anyone would want to touch animal anything.
“The minor nobility and town functionaries are already beginning to gather. I expect the important nobles will come along more in the mid-day.”
Joselyn’s blue-eyes turned momentarily icy, “I hope there will be some of the upper nobility there. I have had little response to my invitation. Are you certain it would be in bad form to order them to attend?”
Matilda shrugged helplessly. They had had this discussion already.
“Ah well,” Joselyn smiled brightly, her eyes growing warm, “Let us away to the Fête; I am certain it will be grand.”
My Fruity Friends!
The Fruit Fête is officially open!
Come try your hand at a test of strength or skill! Taste a fruit pie! Drink mead and fruit wines! Have your fortune told!
And, most delightfully, come and cuddle baby animals whilst they take food from your hand!
Most importantly, enjoy a festive spring day and have fun!
Yours,
Joselyn Hensley Shield of Taselak Royal of Taselak Duchess of Taselak

We need a song for the fruits.
Food glorious food,
So many types to be found.
One strawberry, one apple and one orange,
One mango, one pear and one pineapple.
Ashe Tempest
The Fruit Fête
Ashe often kept to herself, orphaned at a young age she didn't often enjoy large crowds except to steal from unsuspecting commoners.
However things were different now, being a Countess of a great realm perhaps it was time to come into the light. With the news of a grand festival being held by her Queen, Joselyn, it would be an excellent chance to get out and mingle with her fellow nobility and who knows perhaps scout new potential marks as well. Rich nobles probably wouldn't even miss a few coins after all.
The petite Ashe was making her way around the fair grounds, mostly sampling fruit. Standing only a little over 5 feet tall and still wearing her hood and cloak most did not even notice her presence. As result Ashe had not paid for any of the fresh fruit or pies she had sampled courtesy of unsuspecting or foolish nobles.
However it wouldn't be long before Ashe created an awkward situation for herself. Spying another supposed easy mark Ashe strode right up to them, bumped right into them and with a slight of hand made off with the strangers gold pouch.
"Sorry" Ashe would exclaim as she usually would to deflect what truly happened however this woman actually replied.
"Oh no worries Countess Tempest" the woman replied.
Somewhat perplexed Lady Tempest inquired,"Oh do I know you?"
"I am Matilda, our queens steward its a pleasure to meet you." the steward answers.
Well if Ashe wasn't already of pale complexion she would be as white as a ghost.
"Oh well my apologizes," Ashe blurted, "Please give my regards to our Queen and inform her I am enjoying the festival" and then the Lady quickly darted away, Matilda's gold punch still hidden under her cloak.
