"Only that long?" Katya inclines her head.
After a second she goes to get up. "Your secret is safe with me." It isn't the most inflammatory secret she is keeping. It isn't even second place. "I'm glad you trusted me with it."
"If I stay too long my mother will ask where I've been. It's getting late. I should find her and head back to the ranch."

"I can speak with them about it, and see what happens from there," Ladonna says. "They are busywith my sister's wedding, so it might take some time."

Ladonna Marche (Village Square) Ingot slowly nods. "I will await...my parents' response...to your parents' proposal," he say simply.
Katya Mereida's Daughter (Goblin's Tooth) Bula nods. "Sixteen years in that place were more than enough. And now, I'll do whatever it takes to protect my family."

"Enjoy the rest of your day. Ignot," Ladonna says. She walks away from him, and searches for her mother, once again.

"I understand" Katya responds, and she does. She has no intention of being a threat to Bula's family. "Have a good night."
She heads out to find her mother.

Ladonna Marche (Village Square) Saying goodbye to Ingot, Ladonna searches around the fairgrounds for her mother. By now, the crowds have thinned considerably, so it's not a difficult task. She finds Amanda, along with Jonas and Felicia, walking and discussing the upcoming wedding.
Katya Mereida's Daughter (Village Square) Leaving the Goblin's Tooth, Katya returns to the fairgrounds to search for her mother. By now, the crowds have thinned considerably, so it's not a difficult task. Mereida is sitting on a bench, resting, and just sort of watching people walk by.

"So, rumor has it," Ladonna says as she approaches her family. "That Ignot has asked his parents to call off his betrothal to Myra. If that is the case, maybe you could petition his parents on my behalf?"

"I'm sorry about that" Katya says when she returns to her mother's side. "One emergency spiraled into another. How have you been doing?"

Ladonna Marche (Village Square)All three members of Ladonna's family have completely different reactions to this question. Jonas stares at her blankly, as if she had just sprouted a third eye. Felicia looks wide eyed in surprise. And Amanda actually barks out in laughter.
Felicia is the first to recover and actually speak. "Ingot? Really? He's even younger than I am."
Katya Mereida's Daughter (Village Square)"Ah, I'm fine," Mereida says with a dismissive wave. "It's just nice to be outdoors again for awhile. What about you? Did you find the orc child?"

"It is true that he is young, but he is the son of a councilmen and he is considered blessed by Gonto," Ladonna points out. "He isn't the knight that you are marrying, Felicia, but it isn't a horrible match," she explains.

"We did!" Katya reports with a note of satisfaction.
"He'd gotten a little messy but was still in one piece. He's back with his mother and father now and I don't think there is a more fiercely protected toddler in all of Gontoria. They are an adorable family."

Ladonna Marche (Village Square)"And yet, not as good as a match as Merkimer," Amanda points out wryly, referencing the wealthy merchant they had originally set up with Ladonna. "The Tenhammers aren't exactly rich."
"I'm not so sure the Tenhammers will call off the engagement to Myra," Jonas adds, rubbing the back of his neck. "But if they did, and also agreed to marry their son to Ladonna...that is a way better deal than we could hope for at this point."
"I suppose so," Amanda agrees, albeit reluctantly. It's clear she's still very skeptical of the whole thing. "But even so, Felicia would come first. I won't have her wedding upstaged by a second one."
Katya Mereida's Daughter (Village Square)"That's good," Mereida says. "I still remember the brouhaha when they first moved here. That was...two years ago, I think? First, and so far, still only humanoids to live in Buho. The way some talked, you'd think the world was ending." She adds, "I also remember there was a lot of suspicion about them buying that old tavern. People wondering where they got all that gold from..."

"It hadn't even occurred to me to ask" Katya responds, truthfully.
"Are you ready for the ride home, or did you want to do something else in town while we are here?"

"Well, of course, my sister does come first," Ladonna points out. "But you wanted me to try harder, so I thought I would try to help."

Ladonna Marche (Village Square)Amanda frowns and looks over Ladonna skeptically, as if she hoped to learn the young woman's agenda by simply staring hard enough. Finally, she says, "Alright. I guess we'll see then."
"I'll reach out to Matten in the morning," Jonas says. "See what he says about it. Can't hurt to ask, I suppose."
Katya Mereida's Daughter (Village Square)"Just as well," Mereida says. "Everyone has their secrets in this town. I imagine the orcs aren't any different." With a grunt, she manages to stand up, using her crutch for stability. "Yes, I think I'm ready. Looks like things are winding down anyway."
