Why I love the SCA: Beautiful laides in beautiful garb, with beautiful smiles when you help them; and there are SO many opportunities to do so! And even if the ladies are not served, or have nothing that need help with, you can bet the event autocrat, one of their helper/underlings, or most of all, Their Majesties do!
Maybe it's because I'm closer to these royals than I ever have been with any royals ever before, but Uther and Kenna...are the most noble people I know. Kenna is every inch a queen, easily the most beautiful person I have ever seen in the Society, and just as capable, kind and fun as she is lovely. Uther is...wow...how to say it with justice...well, what he can be, at almost any point in time, is determined, majestic, stern, funny to the point of hilarity, kindly, and fatherly...but he can be all of this at the same time, and STILL be the best fighter in Gleann Abhann!
Knowing these people as well as I do (though I hope to get to know them much, much better in the future!) I suppose it's no surprise that I love them so dearly, and loving them so much makes me want to make their lives flow easier. Being on entourage is the best way to do that, and it's busy, but it's good busy; Fun Busy!
This weekend was Crown List: the great tournament held twice every year to determine who will next sit the Ram Thrones. The winner (a knight named Sir William deFitzhugh aka Sir Camric) is a very capable man, as is his wife, Onora, and I believe the kingdom will rest in good hands when they ascend to their stations.
I was as gleefully busy as a bee flitting hither and thither at the whim of the event volunteers, Their Majesties and others on entourage who needed something or someone fetched or carried. I have never felt such fulfillment after an event is done, though I wish I could have stayed for feast, and then the revel. ::sigh:: I do so dearly love to dance, and there hasn't been much to speak of, recently. I miss is. Thank God there will be plenty at Christmas Revel! I'll have plenty to entertain me there! Between the Queen's Yeoman competition, serving entourage, and the dancing, this is gonna be one heck of a great event to come!
I LOVE THE SCA!
