#earthrunes

August, Zara, Earl, Tziporah, Uilleam, and Antony all arrive at Earth Runes. For most of them, this is a return, for a few , a first time.

August will make sure Antony is under Benny's wing (with an appropriate explanation about that situation), that Delores is appraised by someone about the guests/newcomers, and that Zara and Earl have no further need of him before seeking out Coradel.

Benny is a great kid, happy to make a new friend!

As for Earl and Zara, Earl takes the liberty of speaking for both "I think Zara is going to want to check on the library and maybe rest for a bit. She did not enjoy the Duchy after all. Congratulations again on keeping an innocent woman free" He smiles

"Thank you, Earl. I'm sorry Zara had to be there; I encouraged her several times to come home but she declined."

"You know my lady," A glance back to her, then to August "She is always informed, but never told" A smile "We're good"

August nods and, nothing interrupting, seeks Coradel.

He doesn't find her right away, but he does see others he knows. Including Dame Claire

"Beg your pardon, Dame, do you know where I might find Coradel?"

"She was last seen by me talking to Lord Hume in his quarters" She answers "How did your trip go?"

"I believe it was seen as a success." he reports. "If you see Coradel, please let her know I have returned and look forward to seeing her?"

"Of course, and I'm glad you achieved your goals" She bows "Let me know if you and the Baroness want to drop by for dinner sometime. It's been awhile"

"I'm sure we will, yes....." but right now he's more interested in making his way to Lord Hume's quarters.

"Look forward t o that." She watches him go.

And gone he is.

Hume is at his door tapping away on his phone

OOC Who's door?

Hume's door

August clears his throat respectfully, as Hume is occupied.

Hume looks over "Oh Baron, thank goodness you're back. The Baroness gets really ...intense when you're away. "

"Oh I mean, she's great but for a bit she was frazzled and ..irritable"

"Oh dear." he murmurs, the asks Hume "Ah, do you know where she is?"

"No sir, she was here an hour ago or maybe a little less"

"But she's in a better mood now, some sort of rescue for stolen fledges was made possible"

A soft smile "I look forward to hearing about that."

"Sir Bachdion was with her on that mission. He may know more but I think he's resting , lots of glamour spent"

"Ah."

"Yes, I see. Thank you. I, ah, I won't keep you. Thank you. If you see Coradel, please let her know I'm home and would like to say hello."

"I will, Baron, and welcome back"
