I laughed as well. "That sounds like an excellent rule," I told him with a grin.

“But then again, there’s the matter of finding someone you trust to hand it over to,” I said, shaking my head ruefully. “Responsibility can be an awful thing at times.”

"Aye, I'm looking for an assistant now," I replied. "Though with the recent plague it's no wonder that I haven't found someone to fill the position."

“Yes, I can imagine many have returned home or are filling other positions,” I said, nodding then taking a sip of my brandy.

"But enough about work," I said with a smile. "Dreary topic. What else do you enjoy Alain, other than breeding fine horses?

“I traveled a lot before my father took ill and I came home, I enjoyed that very much,” I replied. “What about you, have you traveled much?”

"Only to Khebbel-im-Akkad," I replied. "Where all did you travel to?"

“All the way from the Umaiyyat to Alba,” I said, smiling. “Anywhere but home for many many years.”

"You would have many stories to tell then," I observed. "Did you always have the itch to travel?"

“To a point,” I said, nodding a little. “I think it’s part of how the urge for knowledge manifested in me. I wanted to go and see for myself.”

"That's something I can more than understand," I said with a small grin. "So what country was your favourite?"

I thought for a moment. “Alba, if I had to pick one. It was so mystical,” I said.

"Did you meet the future Cruarch when you were there?" I asked with a jesting smile. "I hear he's coming to town soon."

“No, I didn’t meet him. I spent my time in less honorable places,” I said, chuckling.

I grinned. "I can't find fault in that at all," I replied. "So even the less honourable places were mystical. Good to know."

“Indeed. If you get the chance, I would recommend a visit,” I said with a grin then took another drink of brandy.

"One day perhaps. As it is, I'm still being quite entertained by the City," I replied with a chuckle.

“It is more entertaining than I thought it would be. I actually found myself missing it some while I was at the estate,” I said.

“The people mostly,” I answered. “I have made some friends here and I missed them.”

I grinned. "They aren't half bad," I agreed. "I think my foster brother and I are going to start going to a new one every time we meet up, just to see what the City offers."

“Not directly, but I have heard the name,” I said. “Were you fostered with his family or he with yours?”

“That is an excellent idea. I’ve taken my cousin in to foster while she’s here in the City. Though she’s not here at the moment, she’s gone back home with her fiancé,” I said, chuckling.

"Still fostering and already engaged? Your niece clearly knows what she wants," I said with a chuckle.
