RE: Possible girlfriend for Broyan

This works for me. My only comment is that I don't think Broyan loves her passionately (and has no interest in marrying her). He finds her interesting and entertaining, but he is not bound to the relationship - as far as he is concerned it could change tomorrow. Lots of flings, not a lot of emotional interest in the relationship.  

Things are probably different from her point of view. I imagine this to be like one of JFK's affairs. Broyan has always *known* this is just a fling, but Melisande views it quite differently.

	Melisande De la Court is a 19 Esvulari woman.  Passionate,
stubborn 
	and tempestuous she has never fit easily into the standard
Esvulari 
	model for a woman.  She has a long history of doing things that
have 
	turned her widowed father (Lord Maran De la Court) hair
prematurely 
	gray.  He had despaired of ever finding a proper husband for her
but 
	finally found one in Sir Estes Am Der Mar, a noted jouster who
is 
	well known for the size and insertion depth of the stick up his
arse. 
	(Sir Estes attraction to Melisande's great tracts of land
overwhelmed 
	his irritation at her poor track record of proper behaviour).
	
	Lord Maran and Melisande had travelled to a joust where she was
to 
	meet her husband. To say they didn't hit it off well is a gross 
	understatement.  Unfortunately for Lord Maran and Sir Estes
Melisande 
	slipped her handlers and wandered off.  While wandering she ran
into 
	a certain barbarian king, there to see the jousting, and the
pair 
	were smitten.  So of course she ran off with the bloke, shaming
all 
	parties involved (well except Melisande and Broyan of course).
So 
	Melisande and her old nurse maid (has to be one of course) left
the 
	joust early and she (not the old nurse maid) and Broyan have
been 
	inseprable ever since.  They cannot marry because Melisande
insists 
	on a proper church wedding so they're just shacked up together
in an 
	arrangement that no one recognizes as proper.
	
	Melisande is not a warrior type and unfortunately brings little
in 
	the way of useful skills to the situation.  She is willing to
learn 
	and loves Broyan passionately.  He reciprocates but is a tad 
	paternalistic towards her, well he was but he's gotten over
that.  
	She's not a crier when she's mad, she's a thrower!
	
	Sir Estes, the scorned suitor is outraged and of course has
vowed 
	revenge (the other knights won't stop snickering) so he's joined
the 
	Lunar forces beseiging Whitewall.  Lord Maran?  Has he washed
his 
	hands of his daughter or is he there with Sir Estes?
	
	Just a suggestion,
	
	Oliver
