"We haven't spoken much since LongNight," he agreed, his teasing smile growing a little sadder. "So much to do, so little time, as they say. But yes, I pissed off another goddess and woke up with an affinity for flowers." That was the heavily edited version of the tale, at least, but it hit the high points with comfortable efficiency. Honestly it was better than what he'd gotten from the Voice, but he wasn't suicidal enough to press his luck by thanking Safrin for the fallout of her lesson in humility.
A council was a curious idea, and even if he hadn't agreed with Rexanna's reasoning he would have wanted to see who she had chosen - and why. He would have to wait, but he could manage that, he decided. At least this time he would give it a chance, unlike Maea's attempt at a government. "I wish I was as certain of that," he admitted wryly, considering how many times he tended to make the same mistakes, over and over. "But enough of business. How is married life treating you?" It would be nice to just catch up like two normal people for a bit, even if it might not last past the next catastrophe, whatever form it took.
