::is out for another walk near the lake, talking quietly to herself::

Of course it was too easy to believe this was some great second chance.

*Admiral on land!*

Afternoon there, Majesty. You're looking as radiant as ever.

[regina_del_sole]

Hello Admiral. You seem to be in good spirits today.

[loudest_egan]

I try to be every day, you know. Keep morale up.

What do you think? *shows off his black socks and sandals*

[regina_del_sole]

Of course, one can't expect anyone to be strong if their leader is not.

::it takes her a moment to realize what he's even trying to show her:: I see you've started your preparations for winter.

[loudest_egan]

That's right. But of course you would know that. Important to know.

Yeah, my toes started getting a little nipped. Wind's pretty strong up there on the deck, you know. But, I can't go being a wimp about every little chill, not if it's gonna get even colder.

[regina_del_sole]

Oh yes, the wind would be stronger on a boat, even one in the dock.

::takes a deep breath and smiles stronger:: Ah good, continue to take care of yourself. It would be terrible for your crew if you became ill.

[loudest_egan]

No worries there, m'lady...I'm a hardy old salt, I don't take ill too easy even at my age. Far more likely to get myself another cut in the arm. *is still sporting a small bandage from the tournament*

You, uh...you all right, there?

[regina_del_sole]

Yes, I'm just fine. Though I'm finding that even without the pressures of ruling sleep can still be hard to come by.

[loudest_egan]

Yeah? Huh. Ferid always did say you were a strong one. What's the matter, those soft beds in the inn just not soft enough?

[regina_del_sole]

It isn't our Sun Palace bed but it was just fine.

Have you heard anything of Ferid?

[loudest_egan]

*slightest crack in his jovial mask*

Nah, not a thing. I'm not surprised if he'd have better things to do than talk to his old man, but you? He'd never leave your side voluntarily. Not like this.

[regina_del_sole]

I know. Even if he had been planning something, it would not have been for this long.

It's not so bad outside, but the room feels so empty with him gone.

[loudest_egan]

Maybe you should ask if they've got another one. Maybe up in the manor house, where it's a little more...I dunno, nice. I haven't explored it much but it seems to me the rooms would be a tiny bit fancier.

[regina_del_sole]

Perhaps, but to move out entirely would make it seem as though...

Admiral, may I make a request of you?

[loudest_egan]

Sure can, Majesty. I'll do my best to fulfill it.

[regina_del_sole]

The Lino en Kuldes is a large ship. Is it equipped with guest rooms? I do not intend to stay long, merely until Ferid returns.
