It's an announcement now. Thanks for the suggestion. If anyone has any others I'd be happy to throw up a suggestion thread.

She gave her a look that bespoke mischief. "Tell me... Are you still a maiden?" Rude question!

Actually in medieval courtships that was likely one of the first questions. Lucky she didn't call over one of the septas to check

Checking the maidenhead is a Meereenese/Ghiscari custom, not a Westerosi custom, thank the Seven In Margaery's case it only happened because she was accused of fornication. I figured that they would assume an unmarried girl is a maiden unless there is specific evidence to the contrary.

Unless they were nearly peasants only a month ago and were living under VERY different standards. There is no reason for Lady Tully or any noblewoman on the planet to assume you were being prepped for high level marriage negotiations.

That's a very cynical view of the morals of the lower classes I would imagine the time with the sepas would be to my advantage here though.

Belric twiddled his thumbs... I feel your pain. The Tullys didn't acknowledge Violet's presence at dinner yet.

Tags are incoming after work, smartasses. I did make my LOA known in advance.
Also Lady Tully (Raven) posted last, so I'm not sure what you're twiddling your thumbs waiting for.
The hunt will be rolled when I get home, the diplomatic mission is waiting on Jon though I'll get the observation roll there, and the Great Hall looks like it's currently in the PCs' court though I'll add in a few reactions from my various NPCs. If I owe any other tags, I'll throw up a board for it.

Haha, so sensitive.
And the Great Hall thread is not in PC hands... It's definitely waiting on Lord Tully to do or say something. Otherwise this is going to be a quiet dinner.

Lady Tully's conversation is predominantly with Saesha and I felt that in Violet's case it wouldn't be quite right to jump in randomly. I have to admit I have been expecting Lord Tully to say something as well.
I hope you had a good time on your LOA, Zack.

] It is fairly common knowledge that Harrenhal is one of the wealthiest lordships in Westeros and a lord that doesn't know what his vassals made in taxes would hardly be worthy of the title. I never got the impression that Harrenhal is particularly wealthy in our setting, at least not until the treasure hoard was discovered. Is it time I started to have Violet buying new dresses and replacing her old horse with something more suitable to a lady? I have been so sure for the whole game that they couldn't afford luxuries!
