She arrived at the estate where both sides were gathered, and promptly met General Alexston. A walk in the garden ensued, where she rather teasingly determined that she did not trust the General. [Walk known, conversation unknown]
General Alexston sought her out in the parlour after a meeting with Drysllthen and Tyltin where he gave her a locket with a painting of the hilltop where they'd spoken. While it started as a very nice conversation, both speaking of their concerns, Will's eventual assault on her wrist lead to other things which Christiana walked in on toward the end. [rumoured]
General Alexston surprised her with a rather romantic evening of candles, wine, and furs out on the hilltop where they'd gone the first night. He also asked her to go with Drysllthen's women to Sarmagh, but she declined, saying her guardian would never permit it. The evening, unsurprisingly, progressed from there. [Largely unknown, possibly a few rumours]
Christiana joined her on the roof where General Alexston also showed up. Cordelia and Christiana joined in a little verbal sparring. During the conversation, she learned that the General intended to seek out a wife after the Valys campaign. [rumoured]
Christiana sought her out later to assure her she'd say nothing. Cordelia pled ignorance and the conversation resolved little. [rumoured?]
She attended the party for Drysllthen, arriving late and intending not to stay long at the drunken affair. The General asked her to dance and surprised her with a rather unromantic proposal of adding her to Drysllthen's list of prospective women to be submitted to Mereavus. With some mocking, she agreed, and the two left the party together. [Attendence known, the rest rumoured]

Returned with William from Sarmagh, got updates on the various happenings around the Valys and tried to sooth an unhappy Will. [known]

After a time of William being quite distant and silent, he opened up and over the course of several conversations revealed that he was giving up Merripen and intended to have no other lovers than Cordelia. This was not something she required, but she accepted it on the grounds that he was doing it for himself and not for her. Their relationship has been solidifying into a family, with both looking after the younger Alexstons.

Cordelia has kept busy managing Alexston itself and the affairs of the family as well as the financial upkeep, however lately, she's found herself with less energy and a touchy stomach. How terribly unsurprising.
