"Tell me of how things went, if you are at liberty to do so. Or at the very least, tell me that this leech who dared cross both Gwydion and Ailil alike found his doom."

"It is well I was there, if you went to cripple a sluagh scoundral, send a Varich. They they have no teeth, but I still defanged him..."

And she tells him much, perhaps focusing a bit much on her side of things, but she gives praise to all for their parts

And... sees if he catches onto the idea of Leech's fortunnne going to charities

"You are a philanthropic woman, my snowflake, that you let his fortune slip through your fingers. A more grasping lady may have tried to keep hold of them, and yet - perhaps it is wise, lest the ones who once kept tabs on the holder of those strings trace them to a new destination. Scattered, they are safe... and doing far more good in the world than hoarded by an immortal slug."

A blush "Well, about that"

"With over 200 charities... I may have slipped a few in"

His brows raise, and he chuckles. "That's my lady. Clever. Tell me of them." And he listens, intrigued and enjoying her tale.

"A certain.. equine related charity"

He chuckles. "Then let our names go down together as two anonymous benefactors of the same mind."

"Shall you remain here for a time? You had asked about Calanthe - not to sour the conversation, I know that you and she are not bosom companions. But if you did wish to come by, there may be some help you could give. Less work for her on her recovery, I cannot but see how that would be welcomed. And more time freed on her plate, is more time for her own research. "

"Passion before duty, however...duty must be attended to, and it doesn't just help her, it helps Silverwolf, ... shall we have this gglass of wine, go back to the hold so I can begin?"

"If we might - shall you show me around your new home? I would look at the stables, I have only Dolph's say on their suitability. Perhaps, we could get dinner in town before heading back. Marigold might fuss, but I feel a little mundane downtime might do me good after the last few days."

She may notice that he IS wearing a rather smart outfit. Not fancy, no, but nicely dressed - he did not, for once, greet her fresh from the stables.

"Of course, I can't show you Sylvi's room, but.. yes, " She takes his hand " The tour"

He takes her hand, and away they go.
