Subject: Kal outside

After Kal has spoken with Flavius he finds Ragnar. "I am going to take a short walk outside. I may be a few hours." Ragnar gives him a questioning look and Kal replies "It sounds as if we are going to be underground for a while. You are dwarf and that may not bother you. I would like a little time with the trees before I go." The dwarf nods and Kal heads out the door.

Kal wanders around in the starlight looking for a small grove or something. All he finds is a small copse of trees maybe a mile from the garrison. Shrugging, he settles in for a period of mediation.

Subject: The Lady and Ran

As the evening progresses Ran finds himself talking to Lady De Blum. After a few minutes of conversation the Lady asks "Ranthir, I understand that your father is the Knight-Marshall of the Order. Are you a member?" "No my Lady, while I respect my father greatly, I did not follow in his footsteps in the Order." The Lady's face is a bit crestfallen at this but she covers it well. "Well, I must say your father is a great man. I met him once, several years ago, when he visited Bhyo. Such a handsome man. I must say you take after him. By the way are you married?"

The question catches Ranthir of guard. "Why no my Lady, I am, at the present, unattached. Why do you ask?" "Well, I have a daughter" she replies "and she will come of age in another year. If you are ever in Freng you should stop by and meet her. She is a wonderful girl." The Lady continues to talk about her daughter and what a match she would be for Ran.
