August does indeed see a grump Dougal arriving , his luggage rolling along behind him

"My Lord, ah, noble Namer... please allow me!" August moves to meet him and take his bag.

"You are the cutest bellhop I've met in ages" He smirks "Who are you?"

"August Truthbranch." as he takes the luggage. "At your service."

"Baron Roscolli... but call me Roscoe"

"The honor is mine." He bows.

"Oh now, don't bow. You're a baron yourself..."

"It is an honor nevertheless. Let me just find, ah, where your quarters are..." He looks for a knowledgeable staff member....

Charity says "This way, Barons, third hall second door on the left"

"Thanl you, Miss Charity... ahh... have you seen Vince?"

"No " She sighs "Not in the last day or two"

He frowns. "I see. I'm sure he's fine, Miss Charity. Thank you. When you see him, let him know I'd like to chat? Thank you."

And he walks Baron Roscolli to his quarters.

"Is there anything you require, Baron?"

"Told you, call me Rosco" the old man says " And I'll want to take a wander aboutt the place, meet the to be named"

"Shall I ask her to join you?" He offers.

"Oh whatver way you want do it"

"Ah, yes. You can settle in and I will ask Minerva to join you."

"If you will pardon me?"

"Of course"

August nods and goes to see if he can find Minerva. Or find someone else who can do so.

He may pass by a corridor where Coradel is discussing Samhain plans with Delores. "I'm thinking that featuring themes from various authors of horror would please our Librarian?"

August pauses and backtracks to wait patiently

"...so please ask her what specific imagery she'd most like to see featured." Coradel catches sight of August waiting nearby. "Ah! August!" A smile.

"Hello." With a smile in return "Please, don't let me interrupt you."

"Of course, Baroness" A smile, a bow "Oh no, Baron, all take care of. Is the Namer here?"

"Oh, yes, I know we were expecting him. Any word?"

"He is here." August confirms "Baron Roscolli....ah, he prefers to be called Rosco, it seems."

"Rosco? So he prefers informality. This might be interesting, and certainly a change from the Other One." A slight sniff. She goes to August and takes his arm. "You've met him already?"

"I have. Ah. I was going to find Minerva and introduce them."

"Lovely! Let's do so together."

The Stewad smiles "I think she's in the gallery"

"Thank you, Delores!" Coradel says with a smile.

"Thank you." August echoes "If I'm not keeping you from anything?" He checks with Coradel.

"Then the two of you enjoy" And Delores bows and slips away

"Not at all," she assures him, leaning close to nuzzle his cheek.

the two find the Fledge in the Art Gallery

She's admiring the art work of the red dot traveling agains the stream of black dots

"Minerva, we have some wonderful news for you!" Coradel greets her.

Her affectionate gesture makes August smile shyly.

Coradel appreciates the image she's looking at. Lovely, how it conveys motion even in stillness.

"Oh?" She turns "Is the Namer here?"

August nods. "Baron Roscolli." He supplies a name for the Namer.

Coradel says, "He is, indeed! Your worries were for nothing, you see!"

"YES... " Ahem and a blush "I mean, of course"

"Thanks to Sir Bachdion."

"Then I am in his debt too" Minerva admitts

"I suggest you direct that question to Sir Bachdion."

"But, when I meet the namer? When will it be done?"

"Baron August believes that you should meet him right now. And I agree. Come along!"
