The start of a plan

[Lady Edfeil]

She had gone on a visit last eve, to Caerfarnon. A long overdue visit to give a long overdue visit. But traveling back on a smooth sail, Lady Dream's words came to her while she thougt about he next few months....
"t be time we have a celebration again. A chance to see old and new friends." And she was right. They should have something. Summer was a busy time, but a glorious time. Mayhap they could make it into something... very special. After all, these summer months it marked near ten years that the beloved Chatelaine had come to Windstorm. A picnic mayhap. Near the duckpond, or in the orchard... or all over. There would need be invitations, food, the castle needed to be made ready, and there could be games or contests. It was a long time since they had spar, mayhap such for the men. Nae something that took up all eve, but at least allowed them to show of their skill. Or a dress contest. Something.. fun. A scavanger hunt? A three legged race? Oh that might be fun...

Once at home, she started the way she usually would: a list on a slate. At the same time she told Millie the news, knowing it would spread all over: we need all to help out, for Windstorm be organizing a feast!

Elizia's tiding had worried her. At the same time, she could order vigilance, but as long as they nae knew more, that was all she could do. That, and warn Caerfarnon of the possible threat. In the mean time, life had to go on. And life included a celebration. She could nae hide that she was planning one. But she could hide a few details from the chatelaine. At least she hoped she could. Millie and Mollie were taken into confidence only as far as was absolutely necessary.
In the mean time, she would ask the ladies to help out. They needed a plan, first and foremost. And a date. And then they needed to purchase supplies.
