OK, for those of you who have just been dying for something like this, here is a Ewen & Thilisa timeline I have put together to help me review things. Just events where Ewen and Thilisa were together in any way. The parentheticals are session numbers, for those avid to check the context.
Nolus 27, 731 - Reception at Caldeth House. Thilisa only interacts with Imarë, and her father is rather rude to Bevan. (39)
Larane 17, 731 - Ewen wins the tournament, and Thilisa flirts with him, apparently directly after spurning the king. Rahel indicates that Thilisa loathes her father almost as much as she does the king, due to the injury Declaen inflicted upon her mother during an argument some time ago. (40)
Larane 30, 731 - Ewen visits Thilisa with a bottle of brandy; They talk lightly for a bit, she seems to find Ewen's manner charming, She asks him to deal with Viktam Arwat, who spread a scurrilous rumor about her in Olokand. (45)
Agrazhar 15, 731 - Ewen visits Thilisa, she chides him for having stayed away of late, and observes that her father tried to investigate Ewen's ancestry at the Heraldic College to no avail. Ewen invites her to dinner at Galopea's Feast that evening, she takes umbrage at the short notice and warns that she had better enjoy herself. Later, at Galopea's Feast, with Balim in attendance as well, Ewen produces Arwat and forces him to recant. Thilisa seems proud and vindicated, and states to Balim, “This knight, this puissant knight, has defended my honor, at great risk to himself... I would ask that ...this knight be granted the honor and position that he has earned.” (48 )
Agrazhar 18, 731 - Ewen buys a topaz brooch and delivers it to Thilisa, who teases him for trying to conceal the name of the jeweller. She says she enjoyed the evening at Galopea's Feast, is glad to be rid of Arwat, and extolls the virtues of Neph's rose bushes. She seems to like the brooch, stroking it twice during the conversation. She would like to see a rose of Neph up close to judge it herself. She notes that Neph and his wife fight like cats and dogs, then wonders if Ewen would be "the most solicitous of spouses. Ever interested in what pleased your spouse, never one to impose your will." She adds that her late husband spent too much time "chasing all over creation", with too much focus on men, and Ewen reassures her about his interest in women She then refers to their previous conversation about genealogy, and Ewen discloses the identify of his father. Thilisa responds poorly: she goes pale, calls Ewen mad, and demands that he prove his claim "in a charlatan, mountebank way". Ewen takes her hand and speaks within her mind. She seems convinces, yanks her hand away, and dismisses him, telling him to bring her a rose. (49)
Agrazhar 20, 731 - Ewen delivers the rose to Thilisa late at night, she has already been to bed. She exclaims and marvels at the rose, asks how he managed it so quickly. Ewen modestly says Neph is not so hard to manage, but Thilisa is impressed he acquired one of his prize roses so quickly. She says, "I would almost think it was... You produced it very quickly..." She says she finds herself melting, then says she hears Ewen is a composer. She asks him to compose a ballad in her honor, proposes to make it a social event, and indicates the king's upcoming levee. Anticipating, she says, "it would be as if the taint..." and trails off. Before Ewen leaves, she indicates that she spoke with Sir Rohn and he is looking into the genealogical matter. The meeting ends thus: "'I trust next time we meet it shall be … glorious.' But the smile has faded entirely from her grave face..." (50)
That is the last time Ewen and Thilisa spoke.
Agrazhar 25, 731 - Ewen plays his song before the king and queen. The king is offended, the queen pleased, and Thilisa appears pleased as well. Ewen and Thilisa don't interact, however. (52)
Note that it has been a full seven months since Ewen and Thilisa have spoken. Much has happened, including Ewen inexplicably obtaining three of her former manors from Osel. The last conversation with Sir Rohn about the genealogy business (fifty-eight) suggests that Graver gave Sir Rohn confusing information, the herald quipping that Sir Ewen has at least five fathers and two mothers. It is unclear whether Sir Rohn would have cleared things up since then...
