581 - I Was Struck by your Bracelet
I was chatting with a group
of aides and assistants, outside the Assembly Hall, while the party for a
reinstated Chevenga racketed all around us.
Kallijas had just taken Laisa up to show her something on the
mountainside, and my thumb ran over the split ring I was carrying in my own
glove pocket. I was feeling very good.

paraded around the town on people's

New Comment Contest
Hey Folks! It's time for my final Comment Contest for Eclipse Court.
I'm in the home stretch to the end and I'd like to see if you all have any more advice for me!
If you post fifty or more good comments before the end of the story, I will create a character for you and write a post based on this character.
Have fun!

580 - I Will Be Careful
Laisa had snowflakes caught
in her eyelashes and the fur trim of her hat.
The candle-light gave her a golden glow and my breath caught in my
throat. The family all knew... they all
liked her... they told me I should ask her... when we were here last time they
told me.
Her eyes were wide and so
blue... so blue... her mouth open slightly, wisps of gorgeous hair against her
face in the

579 - Coach Said
"Coach Arenen.
Welcome. This lowly one is most
honoured. There is a chair of honour. May
this one offer kaf? Cakes?" The training school was almost deserted after
the classes, just before everything was closed up for the evening. Lirasas Arenen nodded and settled slowly into
the offered chair.
"I thank that one. Just kaf

578 - A Fantasy of Icicles
Kallijas was being very gallant. Of course.
It's who and what he was. Oh
papa, I was hoping… I am hoping.
"Serina… here… watch your step the snow has made it
slippery." He offered me his elbow and I
clung to it to not slip in my boots.
Arkan cordwainders just had no idea what real boots were, nor what was
necessary to keep someone's feet warm and dry, in Yeola-e. My feet were

576 - I Held My Breath
I had to laugh at the look on Virana-e's face. He really hadn't expected me to be here as
well as Kallijas, who had a strong arm around his shoulders and kept kissing
him on the back of the neck. I gave way
to a dozen other people in the thick crowd outside the Assembly Hall.
I circled around to congratulate Niku on the

575 - Oh Poo
Kyriala's grip on my arm froze when the midwife
said something sharp and the second baby was up and out of the water. Etana had the baby and passed it straight to
Kaninjer who immediately put his mouth on the baby's face and sucked something
out of the child's lungs. I was holding
my breath, mouthing my prayers to Dimae with suddenly no air to say anthing.

574 - I Wanted to Sing
Laisa and I had only seen the water room as a
bathing room before, not a birthing room.
I poked Laisa and nodded toward Kallijas who was uncomfortable being in
the same room as Niku while the birth was going on. He wanted so much to be properly guarding. Laisa put her fan up over her fond
smile.
Skorsas whispered in his ear and he answered just
as quietly. I didn't hear what was
