A very wide blink. "Ah. No."

"Well, you brought up the Canadian thing so I was almost inspired." Vali says "Okay, let me guess. I dont' get to the fool?"

"Hey, if you want to go moose, don't let me hold you back! But I was thinking more about an auction of nobles."

Vali pauses "oKay, you have my attention"

"I HAVE pondered renting him out to stud," TIffany admits "But I was worried he might like it too much"

Vali smirks at his wife, but is wise enough to not reply

"Well, nothing too tawdry. But in my case, I'd be willing to be auctioned off to cater a dinner or give a cooking lesson. So more an auction of nobles' services."

"Not sure a part time writer teacher is in high demand" Vali admits

"He's one of those who teaches, he doesn't do" Tiffany nods faux supportively

Vali pokes his wife lightly with a finger then says "But I'm game. Sure. Can I wear a jester like outfit too?"

"Not obligatory of all nobles," she clarifies. "And yet...I can see somebody wanting to have access to those skills for, say, a love letter or something."

"Or I can shovel snow for a few hours" he adds "In this season that would be in demand" Vali offers "So about the jester outfit?"

She gives him a look. "Yeeeees?"

"AWESOME. Yes I'm in. Canadian theme we can do, and other things. Bobbing for Apples, too Autumn or would it work for Carnival too?"

He clearly took the yes as allowing him to wear a jester outfit

She's happy to let him take it that way. "Oh, instead, how about bobbing for popcorn balls hanging from strings?"

"We make some of it maple flavored, and I'm for it" he asserts

"Done!"

They discuss a few more options and ideas, Olgar doesn't bother to ask Vali for HIS safe word. And besides, Tiffany can be fierce

(Fade to Canadian Love Carnival plans!)
