Mooned

Yesterday was [livejournal.com profile] tpau's event, Snowed In At the Castle. I spent the day in the kitchen helping [livejournal.com profile] rufinia (who cooked a large and very nummy feast). Jehan and I had discussed plans to give a Daystar (baronial service award), so I expected [livejournal.com profile] jdulac to send a page in to find me sometime during the afternoon so we could invite the candidate, but the prospective member didn't come to the event. However, Jehan and [livejournal.com profile] new_man did step into the kitchen to ask for a private word with me. It took til we were out in the hall for me to put two and two together, that the Baron and the Principal of the Order of the Moon had just asked to speak with me (first parsing was, the Baron and one of his heralds, and I thought they were there about the Daystars).

The Moon is an Arts award. Arts and Sciences, me? Well, it seems the consensus of the order is that autocratting is a science, and cooking feast is an art; I do both, often, and I am teaching both, to my protegee and others.

Naturally, I accepted :)

So in court, my Moon induction was one of the two items of business, the other being a Letter of Safe Passage to a departing student from Greenwood Isle.
