"That..." A smile "is very good advice, Marigold" A chuckle "Dare I ask if there is a file with plans for placating me? "

"May I plead the fifth?" She says, even as she slides another slide of pizza over.

"mmm you may" A munch and she enjoys the guilty pleasure "But mostly because I'm famished" SHe realize "Oh I haven't eatten before this in 12 hours. My word. "

Marigold looks abashed. "I shouldn't have taken Flo away from noble-minding, that's on me."

"Oh nonsense. Flo was offered, of course she was used And appropriately. SHe's incredibly symapthetic to this whoel thing. If she lost Rien she'd go out ofh er mind"

"We'll find the wee lass. I don't care if she's 'just' mortal or no. Thistle has set her mind to it, and that means it's as good as done."

"Indeed, if only THistle would focus that truculence more where it is needed at times . She came very close to getting in trouble with the Baron when he and I are on her side." A mm "But yes, we'll find the child. I am sick to death with babes in our land being seen as fair game. I do not care if it is Spirggan or what, it rankles my sense of territory as much as it horrofies my sense of empathy"

Marigold tuts and shakes her head. "While I doubt we'll ever be free of Thallain, well - there must always be villains for heroes to fight. I DO say that we'll ensure that everyone from Apples to Feathered Serpent know that the young of Silverwolf are NOT to be trifled with."

"We are agreed there. To harm a wolves young is to ask for war to the knife"

"To the fang, indeed." She nods. "Have you had your fill, M'Lady? I'll put these leftovers in the icebox for later... though I cannot promise Briar may not find them."

"Yes yes. " She says "I should stop now. Besides, the food was welcome, but not nearly so nice as the company. Thank you"

"Always. I'll see you for breakfast, served between 6 to 11. If you sleep in, I'll see you for brunch, but no later or I'm going to sic Bluebell on you."

Marigold heads off with her notes she took about Korean cooking, to finish her experimentation. With thanks to Nadeen for her 'sacrifice'!

Nadeen mmms as her morning schedule is dictated by the closet thing a noble hold has to a Hearth "Somethings never change" And she rises to go to her duties

With an imperial glance to the fourth wall, she ends the scene. She does still rule here, after all
