It seems to have!
For
aestheticpractical reasons, I’ve decided that Wilhelm was in a back passage before. I’m guessing this is something like a statement staircase.Wilhelm
“I have never done it before. We don’t have them like this back home.” He laughed a little, despite himself. “I was going to my rooms, but I don’t mind watching for a bit. As education.”
He was rather curious how Wolfgang intended to slide on the railing. This stairwell was only partially enclosed, unlike those he was used to. It sent a wobbly feeling through his middle.
If this Wolfgang turned out to be friendly, he might invite him to his rooms for a hasty supper. He had some cheese and bread and a little weak ale. He might even dig out the flask of mead his mother had given him. If he didn’t drink it soon, it might ferment further, ruining the last taste of his childhood home. That would be tragic.
Note: Hasty Supper is the medieval midnight/late evening snack. Some of you probably know that, but just making sure. XD Wilhelm is probably hungry, he was just too overwhelmed by the dining room to eat.
Also, this is interesting worldbuilding at the moment. I’ve wanted to make non-alcoholic mead for a while. Just not sure exactly how to make it safe lol. Teatotaller nerd issues. XD I have found a recipe on a homeschooling site, just haven’t done it yet.

Ahh, interesting. I should like to try this mead.
(I am picturing that one side of the staircase has a wall running along it, and the other side has the banister with a hand rail. Possibly like this but with the banister a little higher and the staircase much longer and not really this color scheme)

Wolfgang
“Alright, if you’d really like to watch, but you’d much rather slide it, you really would, it’s much more fun.” Turning, he galloped up the last steps. Throwing himself onto the banister, legs on either side, chest down against the smooth rail, he gave a good push. A moment later he was whizzing down the smooth slide, letting out something between a howl and a whoop. He landed on his feet at the bottom with a bang that shook the lamps in their stands. Turning, he sprinted up the curving flight ofd stairs until he spotted Wilhelm. “I love a good bang! You should try it!”

Then here’s the link to the homeschoolers recipe: h ttps://store.homeschoolinthewoods.com/blogs/words-from-the-woods/how-to-make-mead
I’m wondering if there would be a way to making it like switchel or kombucha, so it would be fizzy like it appears to be in its poisonous (alcohol) form. Some natural carbonation…. But anyway, I’ll try this recipe if you do and we can compare results! XD
Also, yes. That’s what I’m thinking too.
Wikhelm
He cheered. He couldn’t help it, really. Sliding banisters was obviously a necessary skill. He almost followed, but drew up short at the last moment.
Wolfgang had made a terrible racket when he hit the floor. Wilhelm looked over the railing at the floor below. Several people were talking excitedly, waving the habds at the stairs. It was a boy’s school, so surely this kind of behavior was expected. Still…
“I shall try it in the morning, I think.” He turned back to Wolfgang. “Are you sure you won’t get into trouble for it?”

Hmm, it just looks like apple cider. Or at least, how we make it. except we drink it hot.
Wolfgang
Wolfgang laughed out-right. “In trouble! I never get in trouble. Papa has told me no once or twice, but that’s the worst. Oh, and Peter smacked my hand when I was teasing Reinhard– he’s the only other one who dares to smack me or tell me no. In trouble,” he chuckled at the thought. “Who’d get me in trouble?”

I’m tempted to get Wolfgang in trouble
he would deserve it, and not take it well. The amount of times he has been told “no” in his life could be counted on your hands.

Master Ruan
A sharp sound came from higher up on the staircase. The sound of something striking the stone wall.
The few boys at the base of the staircase hushed. Above them stood Master Ruan. A gaunt-faced man, Ruan had silver hair and a thin beard that shone in the light. He quietly brought his hand back to his side.
“None of that. I will not have stair injuries on the first night.” He stared at Wolfgang and Wilhelm, his slitted, black eyes like daggers.
I was thinking it was like cordials. XD
Wilhelm
Yes, he had read about some nobility who did not punish their children, thinking that the rod was only meant for servants but rarely hearing “no-“! That was unfathomable. He gaped.
“I think there could be many people who could get any of us in trouble. There are guards here for one. If they thought you had endangered someone, you could face disgrace!”
Disgrace. Bringing shame on one’s name. It made Wilhelm’s mouth go dry.
Strange how Wilhem sees nothing dangerous in sparring, but pranks could be a problem.

Did that double for y’all too?

Oops. We roleplayed at the same time. XD Let’s say mine came after yours.
Edit: Yeah it did
That works. XD
I can write a continuation of mine to make it fit.
Weird.

Whatever you want to do!
Funny when two people post at the same time. That’s only happened to me a couple times
@ellette-giselle @whalekeeper It is funny! Super powers. XD
Wikhelm (continued)
“None of that. I will not have stair injuries on the first night.” The man looked fit to kill. Wilhelm forced himself not to look away, but to take the reprimanded withoit shrinking. He dipped his head.
“Yes, sir.” Best not to aggrevate the situation while it was still relatively mild.

Wolfgang
He looked up at the man standing above them. “No one was getting injured sir, it was just a bit of fun. I’ve been doing it since before I could walk. He took the stairs two at a time and met the man with hand out stretched. “I’m Wolfgang Von Heinz, son of Gerhard Von Heinz, master of our lands since the 13th century.”
He liked titles. They could be very useful.
fyi, Wolfgang lives in the 1930s
