[ It was a bit late, but not to late, so he thought he might say this while he still had it on his mind. It seemed pertinent, to a degree, and it felt good to concentrate on something that was not what they had seen before bed. Nightmares were not a thing he needed or welcomed. ]

I suppose it is a good thing I never really got the construction of the salle under way before that earthquake hit and we set out. It would not have fair well, I think.

But since we are back, and we have quite a few new people, it would seem, I think I shall begin its construction again in earnest. A proper place to train would be welcome, at least for me personally, but anyone will be welcome to use the building once it is finished. 

If anyone cares to, I could use help in its construction - it would go faster with extra hands.

... I can make a great deal of things lighter, if you like.

[peacockherald]

Your help is always welcome Duke. It would make the erection of it much easier on myself and Yfandes for sure.

[radiantwingedone]

.. When?

[peacockherald]

I think maybe in a few days. I would just like to... sit for awhile, I think.

[radiantwingedone]

Understandable.

[peacockherald]

Sitting, bathing, enjoying food not in danger of going stale... I suppose I sound rather soft.

[radiantwingedone]

So long as functioning without such things is not cause for.. a great deal of complaining and demands for return of them, do not think so. I am comfortable with living without buildings, but hot water is something I would miss.

[peacockherald]

I actually like camping out in the stars, when it is warm. It's beautiful - calming even. But yes, hot water I always miss the most, I think.

[radiantwingedone]

Agreed.

[ He wouldn't know about here, but generally liked to live out-doors- ]

[peacockherald]

Heh, I think it is a thing most people can agree too.

[radiantwingedone]

... Although sometimes when it is hot, cooler water is better.

[peacockherald]

Agreed, very much so, especially after a long day of riding and dirt.

[radiantwingedone]

Particularly if day is sunny and little wind to be had.

[peacockherald]

Heh, you just described the nightmare Circuit if ever there was one.

[radiantwingedone]

..... Circuit...?

[peacockherald]

Ah, that is what my people call it when a Herald rides throughout Valdemar to aid the people in name of the King or Queen.

[radiantwingedone]

... Starts and ends at near enough same spots, acts like a big loop?

[ That would make sense. ]

[peacockherald]

Yes, exactly. We begin at the royal palace, in Haven, and ride out and return to Haven again to make reports when we have finished.

[radiantwingedone]

Ah.

[ Sorry Vanyel, he doesn't really know what else to say to that, other than to indicate he heard. ]

[peacockherald]

Heh, I know, it is a terribly boring. But I do a lot of things on Circuit, when I manage to ride them. I am at Haven more and more these past days.

[radiantwingedone]

I would assume actually doing it would be less boring than hearing about it.

[peacockherald]

Circuits have their boring moments - days of travel between towns and cities. I only saw more than most since I rode along the Karsite border.

[radiantwingedone]

... Realized that, perhaps, a 'boring' path traveled may be preferred. Implies that things are not particularly hazardous.

[peacockherald]

Or there is not much trouble in the towns. I was raised to deal with such things, being a Lord's son, but it does not mean I particularly enjoy that part either. Some of them are just so... petty.

[radiantwingedone]

.... Humans.

[ Sorry Vanyel, he expects them to be petty little idiots- ]

[peacockherald]

Yes, humans. But they are important to them, so I do what I must. Perhaps my eyes are simply colored through the gaze of the Crown.

[radiantwingedone]

Mmmn. Wouldn't know.

[peacockherald]

I suppose not.

Well, in the mean time, I shall contact you once I get everything sorted for the salle?

[radiantwingedone]

Please.

[peacockherald]

Good. And in the meantime, baths, good food, and sleep abound.

[radiantwingedone]

.... Enjoy.

[ And then awkwardly just going to shut the journal and work on other things until Vanyel is ready. ]

[hardenedimmortal]

[This sounded exciting. Adam's been dying for something to do and this sounded perfect]

It has been a while since I've worked with my hands, but I will be happy to help out.

[peacockherald]

_{[ He is actually surprised to have anyone other than his immediate friends respond, but it was not a bad thing at all! ]}

The more hands the better, especially when we set the mirrors in.

[hardenedimmortal]

Just let me know the time and the place and I'll be there to help.

[peacockherald]

I think letting everyone get some good sleep from the expedition, and we can start up in a few days. I for one want to sleep for a week if possible.

[legacydeck]

It'd go even faster with magic, you know~

[peacockherald]

Haha, I suppose it would, but my magics were never good for that. Unless you are offering?

[legacydeck]

Of course I was. Material creation is a strong point, after all.

[peacockherald]

Haha, yes, I forgot for you that is. Well, I would appreciate any help you had to offer then, Clow. Perhaps you could help with the mirror? That would be the most difficult part.

[legacydeck]

Certainly - let me know when you're ready to install it~

[peacockherald]

Hopefully sooner than later this time around - barring any new quakes, of course.
