The Day's Blank Slate: Corbin (1220.1)

Any sancta close-ish to the centre is fine, he's not the type to get too fussed. Corbin will make sure that his crew are helpful and seek out jobs to do. Part of that will also mean he gets involved too and he won't call out to anyone that he is a Magus. Not hiding it obviously more just seeking to be helpful until something more specific comes around. Alternating between eating and socialising with the various groups if the opportunity arises.
Corbin will try his best to avoid an immediate romantic liaison with Coimhe, but he's also been accurately described as a flirt himself too. shrug If one of his companions is likely to be interested then he's happy for them.

There's plenty of work to do, even if it winter. A lot of it is basically fixing stuff that can't wait until spring, mending nets, working ón the boats, and so forth. They also welcome his company at the Revel Hall in the evenings (it's like the local pub, bar, or hang-out joint, where a lot of people spend there after-work time socializing), always ready to hear new songs and what not.

Anything he wants to do before we start the First Council Meeting thread?

Corbin is interested in meeting the covenfolk, learning the layout, and seeing how the covenant runs. He's intent on taking advantage of his gentle gift and making a positive impression with the grogs. He'll assist with low level spont magic at the times where it's appropriate and he's helping on a task.

In that case, I guess, just sit tight until we get the First Council Meeting thread up and running, unless you or I think of anything else.

I'd like to confirm that Corbin spent significant time in the evenings in the Revel Hall (mentioned in the posts above), and also available an seeking to meet the significant covenfolk and other Magi (should they also be keen) when they arrive. I think we skipped the Magi initially meeting each other when we moved to the copuncil thread, which makes sense for speed, but he'd like to meet them. :slight_smile:

He's highly social by nature. Corbin will approach mid morning other magi once he hears they've arrived - would any be open to that?

Let's find out.

Corbin will occasionally find Corvus in the great hall. He sits to the side and rarely talks to anyone as he seems to be just observing. He always seems to have several of the Covenant dogs around his table and seems to make comments to them at times.

Corbin approaches Corvus mid morning in the great hall. He's dressed in plain and dusty work clothes due to spending part of the morning doing some random repair or simple work at the covenant. He's a bit dishevelled and unshaven, and with him is a modest sized black cat with a patch of white fur who he is talking to as he approaches Corvus.

(in reasonable but not perfect Latin, nodding his head) "Hello Magus, I'm Corbin of Merinitia and new here. You've recently arrived? Offering his hand (or whatever the Scotts do to greet other folk nicely).

Bea arrived with a few days to spare before the meeting. While she spends much of the time caring for her family and with her familiar, she also makes a specific effort to meet other magi. The nursemaid who came with her takes care of the two little ones when she is not with them.

Lili, Bea's 14-year-old daughter also makes the rounds. She seems quite intent on meeting the other magi. She also has to ask a bunch of people which building is the one she's residing in over the first few days as she keeps losing track of it.

Both Bea and Lili would surely come across Corbin.

Corvus looks at the gesture and then slowly stands reaches out his hand to grasp the offered hand. He then reached over with his other hand and clap Corbin on the shoulder( much like Corbin has seen other men do to friends). Corvis filius Peragro, House Merinitia. The tone is of one who is not sure.

A terrier barks at their feet and Covus' face becomes more normal ( at least for, Corbin's point of view). Indeed Prince Richard. He is a magus

There is a garden attached to the sancta which Corbin chose, and when he's relaxing he could be found trying to clean up the garden and get but looking organised again. Corbin hasn't got a special green thumb but knows a little from his Master. Just basic reordering and fixing damage, repotting. Using the odd spont spell to cleanup effectively. He's likely singing as he works.

Perhaps they meet there?

Angus is staying in the sanctum until he learns Parma Magica, which means Arthur is running around grabbing food ad running other errands, if Corbin is interested in meeting companions...

Corbin is interested in talking to Arthur. Flagging him down to see who he is, and once he knows he is assisting Angus he'd ask Arthur to pass on his interest to meet too.
"Do you have time later to chat? Perhaps after your duties finish up."

"My duties are currently a bit flexible on time, what's on your mind?"

"Well as a recent arrival I'm interested in meeting the people I'll be living with. What brought you to the covenant?"

Arthur opens and closes his mouth, thinks for a moment then replies "I arrived with magus Angus."

"Ah, well what do you and the Magus do for fun? We've a new place to explore after all."

"We have not had a lot of opportunity for fun. What do you suggest?"

"Well I like singing and music when I'm trying to relax or perplexed, and like walking. They're great. A drink is always a good way to relax and enjoy one's self too. The revel hall here looks great for that."
"And some folks play games of sport or chance for fun. How about you join me in the revel tonight? I'll be playing."

"That sounds like a wonderful idea. I would attempt to get Angus there, but I believe he is going to be avoiding company for some time."
