"Almandine?"

"Almandine? Mmm dark enough to honor the house's black"

Demona makes note , she'll want to write his name down several times.

"Now, it is crass, but mayhaps you can use... ah... skype to keep in touch? It is difficult to get here by trod..."

"I think we can forgive that," Godfrey assures Sadie.

Sadie looks relieved, "Good. You will still find a way to visit, for my birthdays?" to her brother

"I will." He assures.

Tea and matters pass, and the name Alamadine will be tried.

"Now, where did you suggest I go?" He asks Zara, "I fear I cannot stay here long. Eventually the Lord will sends spies or himself and I will endanger the place."

"I have a friend in Grass. He would welcome you on my good word, I think. He is the consort of the Baroness there."

"I also know an Eiluned hold in Willows, but you would need to prove yourself to the Countess, I think:

"You are, very kind, Miss Zara," Bellamy Alamadine nods "Let's try your friend first, Grass feels further, and distance is a good thing."

"Do you have any issues with Liam?"

"I will tell you - I trust my friend with my life, and I go to him to advocate for you. But he is Liam."

"Well, if you speak for him, then whatever his house, he must be an exceptional fellow. " A pause.

"He is. I will vouch for both of you." A stubborn tilt of her chin.

An incline of his head "I am grateful."

"The Baroness is Fiona. But it was once an Eiluned hold, not so long ago. And oh, the library!"

"A library? Oh? good one?"

"The former Baron had a large personal collection. And Eiluned do have excellent taste in books..."

"Almost as good as sluagh."

Sadie hides a smile

not well, but she tries

"Well, the unofficial motto of Eiluned has long been 'Almost as good as sluagh'. We embroider it in latin our pillows"Straight faced look to Sadie.

Sadie raises a brow, then says "you do not."

He smirks

"Well, I know it is a terrible burden..."

"For a good library with great books, I can burden a lot" He says earnestly . "Any particular prize librums?"

"Oh, aye...." And she's off, singing the praises of her collection....

oops - "Earth Runes" collection

He notices her near slip, but he's too caught up i n the list, "now that was a good use of Chronos"

Things wind down, and eventually the has come for a farewell. Bellamy hugs his sister and lets her go, then turns, "Lead on, Miss Zara. Godfrey and Demona have been kind enough to provide distractions for the troll guards"

"VERY kind... " And off they go!
