thank you, you too! I hope it was a good one

[revolutionne]

[ Or maybe it's just the fact that he might just be a pushover in some avenues. Who can say no to a fuzzy little face? Even if claws come with it. May Ser Croquembouche reign supreme on the Borel Manor for years to come... ]

May the bells pass quickly in anticipation. How much leave do you believe you would be afforded?

[proteusmoon]

Well, as I am queen, I could give myself as much leave as I wanted, but since I am also not so terribly irresponsible, I am also going to say possibly a week if I work extra hard for the next two weeks. How long were you thinking?

[revolutionne]

Is it shameful to say a week would be the longest break I have had in summers past?

[proteusmoon]

Mmmm... shameful? No. Not exactly surprising either, if I am being honest. Rather noble of you.

I can arrive a couple days before you. To be safe. Then you will not have to take a full week and you can keep your record.

[revolutionne]

Noble, is it? I shall remember that the next time my working habits are called into question by well-meaning colleagues.

[ Lucia is sure to have thoughts on that. ]

Our meeting would be pure coincidence, would it not? That may be the wiser choice for a multitude of reasons.

[proteusmoon]

Certainly. It is noble to be so selfless and have such a superb work ethic. You know I have a lot of respect for you because of your dedication to your homeland. But I also understand why they are concerned. I only feel it would be a bit too hypocritical of me to scold you for your habit to overwork yourself for long.

Yes! Exactly what I was thinking.

[revolutionne]

There hardly seems enough time in a day, is there? Though you afford me far too much credit, my lady.

[ Were any of them able to accomplish what they wished in a reasonable amount of time... ]

Well then, I believe all is left is to see what accommodations are available. I am not certain if this happens to be a busy time of year.

[proteusmoon]

And you afford yourself too little.

I imagine it is a bit colder at this time of the year there, but that is something we will have to look into. Either way, do you think it would be wiser to find lodging near one another or...?

[revolutionne]

I fear that too close may arouse suspicion, but too far may make any planned rendezvous more difficult. Mayhaps somewhere in between? From what I understand, they offer private bungalows.

[proteusmoon]

No, you are correct. It will be more difficult to claim mere coincidence should we draw attention if we have to travel long to see one another.

I suppose that then is all we need decide for now. I admit the next several days are going to feel quite long.

[revolutionne]

They shall indeed, though I will freely admit I will enjoy having something to look forward to than the arid reports that line my desk.

[proteusmoon]

It will be our reward for working supremely diligently at all our paperwork. Sunshine and a warmer climate will do you good, especially.

[revolutionne]

Me, my lady? Surely we are both due for reprieve.
