"Shall I ready Lady Ohmsford's gear then for you? We can have her taken to the Lodge anytime you like" The Stablemaster says "Don't worry about Great Jax and Shae's Truth. They'll likely go fine at the auction"

"Auction?" Dee's eyes widen

"For Charity, the Count's a philanthropist, you know? "

Dee sighs wistfully. Her baron and baroness are well off, SHE is not. Mentally she hopes a worthy rider /owner triumphs

"Maybe you just... I dunno... make sure, say, Gwen knows about the auction?"

"She won't hesitate to tell the Baron, I bet."

To the Stablemaster. "We'll need to prepare a stall for her, so maybe a few days grace?"

"SHe IS kind of opinionated and chatty for a troll" A pause "Most are just opinionated"

Snort.

The stablemaster nods "Certainly. As a stable is part of the prize, and you already have one, the Baroness..pardon Chief, has the option of getting help with installing/adding on a new one if she likes. Let her know, please"

She nods. "I'll let her know."

The stable master nods

And with that, Dee and Dagmar head back to the last part of pennons

...

And Thistle's prize awaits

But that's another story

After the call is over, someone may find D'Lorean hitting the booze at the party HARD, as if she's punshing herself, or... they might not (Find her, that is. She's definitely going to punish herself)
