Sneaky bits and hurt feelings :(

Bit of backstory, Fergus (my hubby) and I were at an SCA event last weekend. As we were checking in, this man came running into the room panicking, saying he was trying to find a white undertunic. Fergus pulled the one he had _just made_ off his shoulder and said "here you go!" The man replied "The King will be pleased! Thank you!" and dashes off. Poor Fergus looked like he had gotten smacked across the face with a fish. So after evening court, before we left, I stopped by just to let the King know we'd be at the event the following weekend. He had me go get Fergus and gave Fergus a token of Edward, the Black Prince, whose motto was "I serve" (whatever it is in latin) and said he'd bring the tunic back next weekend.

Fast forward to yesterday, which is the aforementioned "next weekend". As we're packing up, getting ready to go, I stop over to grab the tunic. I am told by a retainer that "The message we got was that Fergus said 'He's worn it more than I have, he might as well keep it.' " Well, that wasn't the idea at all... and Fergus told me so when I went to ask him. So, the retainer goes off to ask the King, and then he summons me into his presence. Turns out because the tunic wasn't finished (hems and cuffs were still undone... after all, the shirt had _just_ been made and we didn't have time to finish it) he didn't want to wash it. He has this sneaky plan, and don't any of you tell him this, to have the shirt finished, and have a new tunic made that's in Fergus's SCA time period. Well, I think this is a fantastic idea!

So, now Fergus is mad, thinking the King stole his tunic, and he was upset about the tournament the day before as well (but that's another story). I know the true story, but he's sulking. Sigh. I tried using the trick of commenting "Watch him have just forgotten, and he'll return it to you in court hemmed and cuffed!" but I don't think it made him feel any better. :( Ah well.

First post

So, I've finally decided to start a blog. No idea what I'll put in it, maybe gather baby gear ideas here, maybe I'll just let it lapse. Hard to say.
