Yeah, his people do not believe in coddling childhood innocence.

Wilhelm

For a moment he debated taking his leave there in the passage. Yet, as he turned to look at Wolfgang, he thought he might like this strange, too tall, too golden boy. Wolfgang might be a little full of himself, and Wilhelm suspected he lacked the kind of…[Read more]

WoRLd bUiLdInG!

@ellette-giselle @whalekeeper

Oh boy.

Wilhelm

He slid his arm out of Wolfgang’s, although he kept walking the same direction.

“I do not like that man, and I certainly do not trust him, but I will not listen to you talk like that.” The words rattled in Wilhelm’s throat, but he kept his tone steady. “It is wicked to slight authority. Deathly…[Read more]

@whalekeeper @ellette-giselle

I am afraid my characters often have a stubborn, independent streak. Wilhelm has it so badly. XD Once something is in his head, it is not coming out. Which means it will be interesting if he and Wolfgang do become friends, as I suppose they would both have stubborn streaks.

Wilhelm

“Coming?” Wilhelm studied…[Read more]

@whalekeeper @ellette-giselle

Ugh. I just did my final exam, and part way through realized I had somehow missed listening to four lectures.

This Raun fellow now, hmm. I would hate to get headaches from people’s paper cuts. XD Wilhelm is going to be flabbergasted.

Wilhelm

His hand! Wilhelm stared at it, momentarily losing contact with what was…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Nice! It’s scary when stuff acts up. I’m glad it worked out!

*Takes note of recipe* Thanks!

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 aggregate the situation while it was still relatively mild.

@whalekeeper

That works. XD

I can write a continuation of mine to make it fit.

Did that double for y’all too?

@ellette-giselle

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…[Read more]

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,…[Read more]

@rae

Foraging is fascinating. Definitely please tell us how the next bit goes!

@whalekeeper

FUDGE? Ooooo. It looks deliciously fudgy.

@ellette-giselle

It seems to have!

For aesthetic practical 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…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Ahahhahhahahha!

Thank you for sharing that. Stairs are terrifying.

@ellette-giselle

“No.” Wilhelm had to smile a bit. Now that his head had slowed its spin to something manageable, he felt he could be honest on that part. “A bit battered and off balance, but nothing dreadful. I’ll be better in a moment.”

He glanced back down the stairs. He wasn’t as tired as before. Fear always did wake him up. He grinned.

“I…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I am reliving my most recent tumble down a flight of stairs. Unfortunately for me, I was wearing slippery socks. XD The RP is hilarious, but I could smack Wolfgang.

Wilhelm

“Forgiven. I am Wilhelm Kemp.” Somehow the Esquire of the Order of Enlighted Ones did not want to attach itself to his name at the moment. He felt he did…[Read more]

@loopylin

Hmm.

Reuven

“Maybe.” He bit his lip. “I would not be a good choice for personal security. I have work outside of school, so I can’t stick around much. I’m also not in any of the cliques, so I wouldn’t be a very influential ally. I could identify some good witnesses for you though, if you need interviews.”

He did not like the words…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Awesome!

Wilhelm

He heard the footsteps, much too rapid for this time of evening. He spun on the stair, catching the banister in one hand to keep his balance as he looked behind him. It was that hold on the banister that saved him.

A young giant hurtled into him. The two boys went crashing back onto the stairs, Wilhelm…[Read more]
