"So so," earl smiles "I think I've turned to most romantic pieces lately, if still in my own style"

August nods.

"Coradel has been at the County." as they know.

"She's definitely re establishing connections"

"I am ... always in awe of her abilities." August confesses.

"She's taken Lord Hume seriously, not as a threat, but as a sign that she needs to extend influence back" Magnus nods

"Coradel could do anything she wishes." quietly.

"She's a force" Earl admits and nods "Even won Zara over"

"Yes, I meant it not as dispargement, but that mother was making inroads"

That last from Magnus

"And, I think she is." August affirms

"Well if she needs help, let me know" Earl offers

"Of course." with a shy smile.

"Oh, right, Father's day to morrow" (For this setting) Magnus grins "How'd you like to go out for a steak dinner, my treat? Or would you prefer French?"

August chuckles " I think it might be better to ask you what you would prefer."

"No now, none of that, it's father's day, not Magnus day" He says "I'm treating my mortal father to a big breakfast so you get dinner"

"Will the ladies join us?"

"That's up to you, I figured so" A smile

"Would... do you think that... is Claire.....??"

"She'll be fine with either"

"I think Coradel would very much enjoy having dinner together."

"Okay, do you think SHE Wants Steak or French for your father's day meal?" A laugh from Magnus

"Ah. Why not a French steakhouse?"

"i'll see if I can find onne nearby, but sure"

"Otherwise, I'm sure whatever you do choose will be wonderful."

"I'll find something you like" A nod and a clap on the shoulder

And he searches for a French Steak house
