"Indeed, that's why I thought it important to bring it up. There were times in the late baron's reign that they did not always ask. WHile I miss him, and he was a good ruler, your family has a far better commoner touch " The Herald nods

"That's the Fiona, I think..."

"You are no slouch yourself, Regent" The Herald assures. "Mark me to know that- I have served one noble or another since I was a childling"

Gowdeen stage whispers "She has inherited a share of her father's modesty it seems."

"Hey!" A blush.

"Ahem" The Herald says 'Not for me to say"

The Dougal however chuckles

"I think, despite looks, I am a bit more like AUgust."

"No shame in that, he's a good man" Innish nods

"Is there anything else, Herald?" Gowdeen asks

"No no, there's not. Unless the Regent has a duty for me in return?" The old clurichaun offers

"I do not. Just my thanks for the information."

THe herald bows, and moves on.

"Well, something to look forward to" Gowdeen smiles "Painting AND a togail. Want to have a meal to talk about either? I'll buy"

"How about breakfast? Pancakes!"

"Pancakes it is" She walks with her "I hope they have blueberry pancakes. I could eat way too much of them but I do like them"

And off they go
