To all those walking outside, watch your step. *surreptitiously rubs his head and mutters* Damn northern weather with their damn northern ice and snow....

Troy? Are you all right?

Yes, I am fine, just...fine. *trying not to be a grumpy pants and managed a more polite response* Thank you, I will be all right. The pathways are slick, though, so watch your step.

Oh, yes, I noticed this morning when I was looking after my horse. The mix of rain and snow has made things rough. No one likes to learn that the hard way.

Rain or snow is fine...this infernal mix is....*sighs irritatedly through his nose*. I hope your horse is dry and inside.

Believe me, I feel your pain. Maybe not literally, but...

Yes, I didn't let him out into the paddock today. Maybe later, if there's a break in the weather - he does need his exercise, after all.

Growing up here, I am sure that you do.

*Smiles slightly* Smart horse to stay inside.

At least it seems to be turning to all snow? It'll be a mess for a bit but then, it is that time of year.

Oh, he had no choice in the matter. He'd have loved to go roll in the mud. And his master is not nearly so lucky. *ruffles his slightly-damp hair*

True. *he looks up at the falling snow* Snow isn't as terrible...

Roll in the mud? *Shakes his head* That is why I prefer ships, they never roll in the mud...if they do, you have a serious problem. *Yes, he just made a joke* What are you doing out in this noxious weather?

*chuckles* Rolling a ship just sounds like trouble.

Ah, the usual. Pointless patrol. Miss Nei mentioned something the other day about being bothered by someone making odd inquiries, so I thought I should keep my eye out for said person.

*smiles slightly* It is.

Inquiries? The councilors have been rather quietly lately....do you suspect they are connected or is it another factor as of yet unknown?

I'm not entirely sure. I thought the councilors had withdrawn, I haven't seen them lately. All I can do is my duty - whether it does any good in the end or not.

I trust everything is well out on the water? Are you planning to winter here or in Vinay?

*Frowns thoughtfully* Sometimes...duty is all you have.

Yes, thank you. I am planning to take the ship to Vinay for the winter, the ice here plays havok with her hull.

It sounds pathetic to say so, but yes...that is true.

Ahh...well, I hope the seas won't be too rough in this weather. Even if it is just a short distance from the cove down to the port.

Yes, it is...

No, they should be just fine. The ship is moored securely, and unless the wind picks up significantly, we should be just fine.

Well, that's good. I would offer my assistance, but I really have no business being on a ship, and I'm sure your crew is capable.

Thank you, but yes, we are fine. Snow doesn't hurt...it's the ice. *he winces at the recent memory*
