This locket's pretty nifty. [Lancer, poised on the edge of a cliff, leaned his locket against one rock as he fiddled with a cloak and brooch, trying to pin one to the other without ripping it. He kept doing it over and over so he could weather it down and make it more comfortable to wear. When he got into a good little cycle of repetition, he spoke up, again.]

So, hey--I'm curious, has anyone heard about any 'help wanted' situations in Caer Glaem? I'd ask, but I figure this little artifact's got a good reputation is folks're using it so often.

[He continued talking, returning his eyes to the cloak and brooch.]

Let's see--I'm good with a plow, I know my way around horses and spreading seed... [Said nonchalantly, examining his handiwork.]

Pretty good at preparing and serving food. I wouldn't recommend me as the cook, though. I can read and write. [Conveniently, in every language on Earth.]

I'm a really good gardener, too--on top of farming, I mean. If you like flower-arrangement and things like that, you could say I've got a real knack for it.

[Lancer, seemingly content with the work he had done with the cloak and brooch, set both aside and began folding them where they lay. He crossed his arms and grinned back at the locket.]

So, if you folks know anyone who's hiring, put in a good word for me! You can call me [A pause. Lancer definitely stopped at that, thinking through his options.] Lancer. Yeah, I'll stick with that. It's gotten to be a habit, by now.

[...wait, double lancer all the way across the Seelie Court...

...

well, he could be reading this wrong...]

Unless I'm making entirely the wrong assumption here, I wouldn't expect most Lancers to be practiced in the art of floral arrangements.

[Rose themes, maybe. Actual flower arrangements? Naaah.]

Ohh, I dunno if that title's something that would be associated with floral arrangements!

[He grinned a bit happily, glad someone at least stayed on the topic at hand--]

I used to have my own little garden, though I didn't always get to tend to it. I like to think I have a knack for reading the type of flower for whatever situation one needs a bouquet for. 'Course, I need to get more antiquated with these local species...

Well, I wouldn't expect it to be, but it could always be some strange quirk of the class.

Regardless, while I can't say I have much use for that kind of thing myself, presently, I'm sure at least someone here would appreciate it.

You sure about that? Handsome fella like yourself doesn't have a need to show a lady affection any time soon?

Ahhh, wait. So, you must be confident in yourself enough that gifts would be unnecessary? You must be quite the performer!

[Lancer no that's sexual harrassment]

...that... has absolutely nothing to do with it.

[CLEARS... THROAT...]

I'm already engaged to someone who apparently didn't arrive here, so it wouldn't be proper.

[dude... dude. she wouldn't care...]

[Lancer assumed rightfully that Kayneth was some sort of calculative love machine.

He was fully unaware that he was also under maintenance.]

That so? Y'know, you say that, but nobody should be held back because of that sort of condition. Woman or man--everyone's got a right to release, y'know?

You oughta ease up!

[Lancer was seriously getting a LITTLE too casual with strangers.]

[the maintenance is to get the settings unstuck from "smitten schoolboy"]

Well, it's not actually like I've been seeing it that way... honestly, I'm extremely picky and won't settle for anything less than perfection. I've seen plenty of lovely ladies here, but I can't really say I've seen anyone who even compares to my fiancee.

[oh no... you got him started...]

[It was a good thing that Lancer lived for stuff like this.]

Well, now, that's a bold claim. Is she that feisty a spark, pal? Sounds like you're all heated just mentionin' her.

Well, if I do keep going, I may make some even bolder claims that may offend some of the monarchs, so let's keep it at that, shall we?

[he is at least savvy enough to stop before he claims his beloved is more beautiful than a queen and ends up in somebody's poor graces]
