How fares your arm? Does it still hurt from the bowstring catching on it?

delivery. ( seventh of december. )

[provoke]

[ delivered early in the morning, before capable might have woken: a small cake box with a generous slice of a blood-orange creation, as well as fresh slices of the fruit on the side. written on a plain card in green ink is a brief message: ]

We'll meet on the morrow instead. Rest and heal.

delivery, morning of the 25th.

[ he's agonised over this gift, because he has no idea what to get her beyond what he's also given. capable is true to her name; capable and willing to learn, and strong-willed, like his mother made feral and wild but no less graceful.

in the end, he decides on three things: a plush cotton coat to keep warm, a leather brace in green for their archery lessons, and an ornate hairbrush. practical things for a practical woman.

he includes a note in the gift box, writes his message in green ink: May these all find good use in your capable hands.

is that embarrassingly earnest? a little. but he's keeping it so. that said, aemond doesn't sign the note, as is his habit. ]

furiosas teaching people how to fight
