Ye Elde Deloria Threade

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady-in-waiting

Is it the 'Old England'-version, the 'France'-version, the 'Modern England'-version, the 'Japan-version or the 'Other'-version?

[Deloria]

I should like to think her duties that of an attendant and companion to the Queene.

I recall, I do need Lady-in-waiting, if it please you to take that post. Of course, thou shouldst also be a Margravine regardless of whether thou choosest th' post.

I daresay I should love to be a Lady-in-waiting!

I am most pleased to then consider you among my peers.

[hercrabbiness]

I am honored.

It hath been quiet here of late.... I wonder where hath everyone gone(takes a seat) no matter, I shall wait here for milady and all of the other good knights.

[Deloria]

*makes her inclines*

I await the return of my royal favourite ere the celebrations may begin.

Until then, I offer optional entertainment in the form of Middle English poetry to my court.

Sorry, but I'm not into poetry that much.

[Deloria]

I'm having a pretty hard time getting past the Middle English.

And of course it's fine.

[Petra Rocks]

We could look at that rather than old business letters next if it pleases you milady.

[Deloria]

Thanks but no, that actually has footnotes for every other word and it ruins the fun. It was still most kind of you to offer.

[dark-daventry]

Your majesty, it is I, Daventry of Dark. I hath returned from a very longeth trip. I was unexpectedly cast through a dimensional portal by none other than Mordack himself. I was trapped in a rift for nearly a thousand years, their time. Here, it would be only months... To be quite honest, I hath forgotten some of my times here in reality. Please, do refresh my memory. I remember serving you, proudly, but I hath forgotten what position I held. I return with glee to protect you, and aid you, in combat. My magick powers hath grown exponentially, and I hath met other descendants of Merlin. I can now see through the deceptions of enemy forces, greatly aiding you in times of need.

*bows* I, Daventry of Dark, hath returned to aid Her Royal Highness! 

[Deloria]

Daventry D'arc! Indeed, if my memory deigned to serve me, formerly you were a courtier and lord chaimberlain whilst I remained Queene of the glorious realm of Pictavia. Whereas now, I am Empress Consort of the Holy Roman Empire, if it please you, I should be most honoured if you were to grace my court again with such or similar rank.

[dark-daventry]

The honour is mine, thy queene! In mine own eyes, thine shall'st always be queene. I hath returned, for the time being, to grace your court, and protect you. I pledge to protect thou who was once a most holy queene. Long live Queene Deloria of Pictavia! *bows with sword jutted in ground*

[Deloria]

Your display of patriotism is truly touching. I welcome you back to court.


On a totally unrelated note, what is thought of my Talossan arms?

[Petra Rocks]

If milady is still a Yorkist, at least she has gotten over Margret of Anjou enough to not puncture fleur-de-lis. Sorry, I had to say that. They really do look splendid.

[Deloria]

Yes, I've at long last gotten over my fleur-de-lys stabbity complex. Thanks.

[dark-daventry]

Thy arms arth fitting, your majesty. The clan of Merlin hath announced that Queene Deloria of Pictavia is to be awarded for her display of great leadership, and for her hospitality of Clan members who hath been hunted by enemies. Thy clan is forever in your debt. They hath awarded me for my display of loyalty and passion for thy kingdom, and her most gracious queene. The ceremony is to be held at the dawn of Christmas Eve. Milady, I must leave for a short while, as I explore my clan's history, and determine what hath happened to Merlin. Some say that he hath been reincarnated into one of his children, my side. It is a possibility that either I or my brothers be a reincarnated Merlin. My side of the clan shows an exponential magical ability unheard of in the world of magic. I bit you farewell, for the moment, thy queene. Stay strong!

I wish thy luck in thy queste, Daventry D'arc.
I hath no particular thought on thy arms. (That is neither negative nor positive, it just shows I have no artistic talent, or feeling in that particular field.)

[Deloria]

We could look at that rather than old business letters next if it pleases you milady.

Though I shouldst perhaps request thy assistance for th' daunting Middle English version of Hypnerotomachia (which may or may not be spelled correctly ) if we have the time for it next we speak.

[Petra Rocks]

I should be honored, milady.

[Deloria]

I thank you.
