When we all went belowdeck, did anyone else find that room full of posters? I have a fair number of of them in my room--all birds. Not any birds I've ever seen, of course, but Kras City is lucky to have seagulls, one would require quite a bit of luck to find a cardinal or whatever those were.

And how much experience would you have in that field, Your Highness?

[He totally knows who you are.]

[scionofwisdom]

Quite a bit, actually. I was trained from a very young age by my father to notice any and all discrepancies in body language and voice.

[She really isn't surprised by that.]
