MAJOR EVENTS
BEAST MASTER
Due to being the only one able to get close to Cu Chulainn and calm him down while in werewolf form, locals around the area of DunDealgan start to regard Merida as a beast master of sorts. Considering how she feels about his warp spasms, she doesn't exactly like this apparent appointment but if it's to protect him from any sort of torches-and-pitchforks scenario, she'll take it on. [ ✖ ]
TRUST IN BLOOD
A search through Treun for the escaped convicts of Leathann turns into a dangerous situation. In a moment of desperation, Merida accidentally kills a convict who has the intent of doing something unsavory to her. Traumatized, it's Gilgamesh of all people who pulls her through and reassures her that she did nothing wrong. The golden king, unwittingly, earns himself her trust and loyalty.
[ ✖ ]
LADY LIONESS
The year had seen to a great deal of change in Merida. Not just in something deciding that her fate lay within the other court, but in herself and the actions that she took, in the thoughts that she processed. Some part of her became...less idealistic, as it were, more open to the idea that this was war. It had taken her just near a year in the Drabwurld to accept that as fact, that she'd only be seeing home in her dreams, and half a year later to find it in herself to move on. This land of the fae was her reality now. These were her people. And that was why she needed to protect them. [ ✖ ]
MAJOR CHANGES
SORCERESS
Merida has started to take her magical studies more seriously than before. By the end of the time skip, she should be appropriately trained in all the magics she has taken on, both fire and runic magic.
WARRIOR
Likewise, Merida has been honing her combat skills throughout the year. With a new sword from Diarmuid as of August and a new bow from Wan as of Yule, she'll feel as though she'll be better prepared for any of the future battles. Having killed her first human (accidentally), Merida starts accepting the idea that it's okay to kill people sometimes.

PLANS
- co-parenting wolfhound pups with Lancer
- fire magic training
- shard training
- become known as some kind of beast master by the locals
- visit the new Barrel once a month
- bandit stomping along a trade route with Korra
- swan shooting competition with Gilgamesh in April
- Treun tourney
- Samhain
- White Hart Hunt II: the Hart's Revenge
SUMMARY OF KNOWN DETAILS
For the most of it, Merida will be working on training in both her fire magic and her shard, along with learning some runes from Lancer, when she's not taking part in any of the events happening. Gaining influence in the surrounding area. Strengthening and being able to control her magic will be one of her primary focuses. She'll also be helping out around DunDealgan since she'll feel partially responsible for everyone there, considering she's courting its Lord. Many of her efforts will be going towards building up better personal relations between DunDealgan and the natives surrounding the area.
Another thing that I have planned is for her to open up a combat school for women of either court and/or natives only, offering it as a place of refuge during times of battle, and once she's lost her idealism and become a little more war hardened, offer her students out as mercenaries. This will all take time, possibly over the course of two time skips, but ideally I'd like to start planning things out now.

no subject
Jokingly, he murmured in her ear as his fingers curled against her mound aggressively, rubbing her quicker once Merida was found out.]
Ah, was that your favorite rune, then?
no subject
Haa...I have a certain fondness for it.
[Her head tilts back against his shoulder, wanting to push against and rut towards his hand. Lancer had experience, that was going to be her biggest problem. Or rather her downfall. Merida let another noise leave her as he rubs her just right, mouth hanging open.
That wasn't going to stop her from going back to his challenge.]
Isaz, gebō, hagalaz, ehwaz.
no subject
You're getting close.
[That hand traced its way up to Merida's breasts, fingers spread along them just to give her a sense of possessiveness on his part.]
Or, is it just the heat of the bath?
no subject
I...Cu...
[There's a shuddering tremor through her body and it happens, a noise falling from her mouth. A wave of euphoria washes over her as she sinks back against him, knees curling up and inward, out of the water, nails digging into his legs.]
no subject
He vanished in a puff of magic, standing up suddenly just beyond where he and Merida undressed, before. Hands on his hips, Lancer stood right there with his member standing on end, excitement impossible to conceal.
It was a coy gesture on his part.]
Alright! Scrub up and follow along, Princess.
[He walked from the bath-house back to his own chamber without a second thought--exactly as he was.]
no subject
Wet feet slap against the stone of the castle as she raced to catch up, nearly slipping and completely starkers herself but not caring right now because of how mad she was. Eventually, she reached to take hold of his wrist and yank him around to pull him down slightly for a breathless kiss, water dripping down her skin. Merida pulled back a hair's breath, blue eyes blazing.]
Do that to me again an' I'll make you wish you hadn't.
[By which she means leaving her like that so abruptly, because Merida's next intent is to take Lancer by the hand and drag him the rest of the way to his chambers.]
no subject
I told you. You've got a whole other kind of beauty to you when you're angry.
[Seeing her furious was a bonus. For the most part, Lancer would enjoy whatever energy was forced out of Merida, happily.]
You're anything but ordinary, after all. Princess, you're a woman whose ire is as attractive as her glee.
no subject
If you wanted me angry you could've done something else.
[Still grousing, she wrapped her legs around his waist, muttering under her breath as she attacked his neck with lips and teeth, not even really caring at this point.]
no subject
I'll make it up to ya', Princess. This next part's where you'll forget everythin' else.
[He looked up from between her breasts, offering Merida a sly look to complete the set of smug expressions he'd fed her since the start. Lancer took no small pleasure in his games.]
It's somethin' I'm good at.
no subject
[Merida felt the furs be shifted away from underneath her, arms wrapping themselves around his shoulders and her legs hitching around his waist before he started drawing away from her. Her fingers grabbed at his hair and tugged on a strand, pulling on it between them as she huffed and let her eyes flutter shut with a small sigh at the kiss between her pert chest. She was small there, always had been, but the kiss made a shiver go up her spine.]
Somethin' you're good at aside from bein' insufferable?
[She teases, but she knows what he's talking about. Merida's far from naive in any sense of the word when it comes to the kind of things he did or gets up to. Her legs draw themselves back to press her heels against the bed, humming under her breath.]
no subject
[Merida had begun to get huffy and for an absolutely stellar reason. Fortunately, Lancer was patient enough to deal with the end results of the problems he caused. If she would be frustrated about him leaving her hanging, then he would just have to make the build-up the second time around be all the better.
Without hesitating, he ran his tongue along Merida's mound, finding her with experience alone. He remembered the positioning with his fingers and with his lips and chin, he was there with exceptional haste. Even if Merida had valid complaints, he was sure she would stop caring shortly thereafter.
Without any sort of prompt or warning, he began licking her while his hands reached to her thighs to keep her relatively still and in a good position for him to get at her. He was quick and persistent, looking to force heat upon Merida and build her up the hard way.]
