"Xenofos has been useless since he came back from the war. Just drifting."
"And anyway, just a man. They are married away and then out of the clan."
"And buying that dress for that foreigner. Best to play to his strengths - a static post to tie Varanis to."
"Yes, rumours were flying in the servant quarters."
"And the way he dashed to Prax on "temple mission"?"
"Hopefully that matter took care of itself and they have it out of their system by now. Hard to make a match when potential groom looks that smitten."
"Could he not simply have gone to Rhigos to sow his wild seed?"
"Now maybe something could be arranged but where is that boy?"
"Last news came in from somewhere near Paps?"
"They say the Humakti was eaten by a god she summoned up, but I don't believe it."

Grandmother’s spy networks have already updated her about them making it to Boldhome. She’d have made sure someone reported back about what they did after Tennebris delivered the letter like a good little messenger boy.

"… as for Xenofos he was sequestered in temple of Uleria, when the report came in." (snigger)
"Dear, I was there only yesterday…"
"Apparently he has been so into wenching and boozing he has not set foot out of it for weeks…"
"Well, you can get the bathing done in a couple of hours if you're quick."
"Nothing wrong in piety at that house. Within reason…"
"The Humakti wasn't seen in Sacred Time either."
Raised eyebrow "Nooo?"
"Of course if she were important at her Temple, she would be there. But you know what a mess she made at over at the Battalion."
"Quite. Those songs are still making rounds. Did the accident befall that careless minstrel?"
"We never found out who did it, dear. For some reason the Hulta are not talking to us."
"I must have misheard darling, I thought you said we did not find out who."
"Oh, we don't know who they used."
Raised eyebrow. "My hearing must be getting worse on my old age darling."
"Something is dear."
"It is not important. Just a whim of an old lady. I am sure you youngsters have lots of more important errands to do than to listen to a Granny’s whimsy."
