She is horridly, unfixably, bored.

@cutthroatkot A tilt of their head both ways, with a rather telling purse to their lips to boot.

"I may have spotted two of them waiting by the front door of my inn this morning... I headed out via a window in the back."

[𝐕𝐀𝐋𝐃𝐎. @vaIdomarx]

She's narrowing her gaze... but ultimately there is a slight smile breaking through also. (She absolutely will not admit to missing him either.)

She will, however, ask what on earth she has missed—

[𝐀𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐍. @cutthroatkot]

There's a roll of his eyes, and he's trying to hide a fond smile. (Has he missed her? Maybe. Will he admit that out loud? Absolutely fucking not.)

[𝐕𝐀𝐋𝐃𝐎. @vaIdomarx]

She's lost her percussionist to baked goods... the ever exciting bardic lifestyle.

[𝐕𝐀𝐋𝐃𝐎. @vaIdomarx]

@cutthroatkot Nothing awful—!

Just... a comment regarding some drunken soldiers at her most recent tavern visit. Truly it was all comedy, as usual. No idea why they looked so annoyed...

[𝐕𝐀𝐋𝐃𝐎. @vaIdomarx]

There is rain at her window and you know what that means— she is 𝑛𝑜𝑡 leaving this bed until at least noon.

[𝐕𝐀𝐋𝐃𝐎. @vaIdomarx]

@cutthroatkot Mm... here and there. She took something of a tour of the continent. Then simply... hid out in Cidaris for two seasons. So for once, yes, out of both (he ought to be proud!)

(She may admittedly need his saving her sorry arse rather soon, though. Knowing herself. And Jaskier.)

[𝐕𝐀𝐋𝐃𝐎. @vaIdomarx]

She is cheering her on from the sidelines!!

[𝐑𝐨𝐬𝐞, 𝘎𝘸𝘺𝘯𝘧𝘦𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘯 - Parody - @RoseLaPlusNoire]

....mhm.

That might be her evening hobby then.

[𝐕𝐀𝐋𝐃𝐎. @vaIdomarx]

Beneficial on all fronts if she did—

[𝐑𝐨𝐬𝐞, 𝘎𝘸𝘺𝘯𝘧𝘦𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘯 - Parody - @RoseLaPlusNoire]

Ugh just the thought!

She'd burn half of Radovids Troups-

[𝐕𝐀𝐋𝐃𝐎. @vaIdomarx]

Mmm, a lovely four poster with an excessive number of cushions and breakfast delivered direct to it—

[𝐑𝐨𝐬𝐞, 𝘎𝘸𝘺𝘯𝘧𝘦𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘯 - Parody - @RoseLaPlusNoire]

At least for just a little while.

If it's a good bed.

[𝐕𝐀𝐋𝐃𝐎. @vaIdomarx]

Dandelion Shmandelion is what she says.

[𝐕𝐀𝐋𝐃𝐎. @vaIdomarx]

@cutthroatkot She will touch every adjacent wood item to unjinx her ever uttering the word...

Taverns have been slightly more lucky, one or two here and there with some good pay. She has been travelling, so it is in part her own fault. Another reason for the sudden return and gossip craving.

The hope we all tend to have! And the reality that almost certainly happens every time, no? A heal all.

[𝐑𝐨𝐬𝐞, 𝘎𝘸𝘺𝘯𝘧𝘦𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘯 - Parody - @RoseLaPlusNoire]

Surely they'll all go away with a night spent in someone else's bed.

[𝐕𝐀𝐋𝐃𝐎. @vaIdomarx]

@cutthroatkot That would be the hope, wouldn't it? Unfortunately the contracts on that front seem to have run dry, also. She's stooped to busking in town squares. She can't recall the last ball invite she received.

You'd think another plague had swept through.

[𝐕𝐀𝐋𝐃𝐎. @vaIdomarx]

Pssssh— of course it will! As all trysts with kings do!

She'll have a wonderful evening and forget all about her... evidently rather excessive troubles.

[𝐑𝐨𝐬𝐞, 𝘎𝘸𝘺𝘯𝘧𝘦𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘯 - Parody - @RoseLaPlusNoire]

Mhmm...

That sounds fun enough. Surely it'll go well.

[𝐕𝐀𝐋𝐃𝐎. @vaIdomarx]

Hmmmm...

What about Ethaine? Slightly less emotionally constipated but given the whole mermaid while debaucle he may have shifted more along that line.

Plus... she knows him personally and could make the introduction.

[𝐑𝐨𝐬𝐞, 𝘎𝘸𝘺𝘯𝘧𝘦𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘯 - Parody - @RoseLaPlusNoire]

Dandelion, if that's the question, yes—

Moving to take a sip.
