Now I wake me up from sleep, and pray for many blogs to sweep, and I should find great things to read, I k know my times spent well indeed! Happy Sunday and a glorious Weekend Writing Warrior day to you : ) Pray tell on this blessed day, if you have no knowledge of the marvels of WeWriWa you should click the link. It will take you to a most holy shrine filled with illuminating knowledge on the workings of this glorious tribe of scribes.
Last week, I left you with Lareina accusing Ravyn of drinking all the wine in a most disapproving motherly fashion...
Last week, I left you with Lareina accusing Ravyn of drinking all the wine in a most disapproving motherly fashion...
Ravyn
started to chuckle, “I didn’t drink it.”
“Oh,”
she blushed. “Did I drink all that
wine? I remember sipping a little, but I
swear I didn’t…oh my, and here I am lecturing you.”
Ravyn
shook her head, “No, we had a guest.”
Lareina
shrank back. “The Mara? Was that the gift it accepted?”
Mom's a bit embarrassed here, but at least she does remember the Mara. Good 8.
ReplyDeleteMom and the Mara had a very unpleasant meeting awhile back.
DeleteSo Mom was expecting the Mara?
ReplyDeleteYup, it was returning for payment of a gift promised.
Delete"Did I drink all that wine?" :D Well done. She sounds horrified.
ReplyDeleteShe was a bit stressed the night before...
DeleteLOL Hum, by mom's reaction I'd say she might have drunk all the wine some other time. Great snippet!
ReplyDeleteShe was just very upset about going to sleep the night before, and Ravyn had asked her to drink a bit to calm her nerves.
DeleteMoms....sheesh. ;D LOL
ReplyDeleteGreat 8, Millie, you always bring your characters so alive through your dialogue!
Aw shucks...thanks Steven.
DeleteFun and interesting excerpt!
ReplyDeleteThanks : )
DeleteThe mother isn't exactly what I expected, which is always a fun twist! Excellent excerpt, enjoying the story.
ReplyDeleteShe's been going through some very emotionally trying times recently...it's been challenging : )
DeleteHad a chuckle that the mother wasn't so sure if she'd drank the wine. Hmm... has she done so in the past? Enjoyed the snippet.
ReplyDeleteShe was very stressed the evening before. I think there's plenty of us who've done that before, had a little too much to drink trying to hide from our stressors.
Delete"Did I drink all that...?" Oh boy! I can sooo relate to that confusion :)
ReplyDeleteHe he he. I think of a few of us can, if we're being honest : )
DeleteIt's fun to see this side of mom. Another fun snippet. Well done.
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you : )
DeleteNice 8. Looking forward to seeing how it continues next week :)
ReplyDelete: ) Thanks for swinging on in : )

ReplyDeleteOh my. It does look like they both had quite a night . . .
ReplyDeleteI love your introduction for this post :P
Why thank you. I never know what's going to spring from my brain as I get my post ready. I get tired of the same-o intro, so I try to add a little flair : )
DeleteI love this 8!!! Somebodies...had a great night. And if you can't remember whether or not you drunk it all, that's a tell-tale sign in itself. LOL!
ReplyDeleteShe really didn't drink it all...if you go back a few posts, you'll meet a very funny little man named His Nibs...who might've had more than a wee sip : )
DeleteIntriguing little snippet. Like Lareina's memory lapse.
ReplyDeleteShe sort of slept through the evenings activity...
DeleteDoes this mean the Mara is going to come back, once it ditches His Nibs? Or will his Drunken Lordship take care of that? :)
ReplyDeleteHis Nibs sealed a deal with the Mara to leave them alone...so they should be okay : )
DeleteI guess the wine was good if the Mara took it. Will it come back or not?
ReplyDeleteAh, His Nibs took it. If you go back a few weeks you'll see what kind of fun went on while Lareina slept : )
DeleteLadies do not guzzle wine. People like His Nibs, however... clearly can't be bound to manners or convention.
ReplyDeleteHis Nibs...well it's almost a character trait for him. He canna help himself one wee bit!
DeleteIt's always fun reading your snippets, hic! and this is no exception to the rule. Thanks, Millie.
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you, I love providing fun : )
DeleteLove the Mom! What a fun snippet!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Great dynamic between them.
