Anger still lingered, coiling deep and red in the bard's stomach, but he had learned a few interesting things in recent days that helped to cool it to a low boil, and send a curl of self-satisfied amusement flickering into the edges of his sharp-toothed smile as he watched the blond woman approach. "I'm doing well, and on my way to work, as a matter of fact. I look forward to seeing you and your sister there sometime soon, as we discussed before. And yes... yes we do. But for now, may your observations prove illuminating." He smiled again at the young man, offering a slight bow before continuing on his way. If Wessex wished to ignore him, he had no problem returning the favor. Not at the moment, at least, when so many other wheels were beginning to spin into motion.
