Chapter Side RP - Day 1 - Yelnar's Family

After he has carried out the tasks at hand, he slowly makes his way towards his families' residence in the city. He slowly ascends the stairs to his Fathers study, knocks on the door, and waits to be asked to enter before going in.

"Hello Father, I assume you will have heard I am to be a part of expedition?" He pauses, waiting for an acknowledgement before seeing his fathers usual expression of impatience. "It appears we will be heading straight for the area near the Summer Estates, do you have any messages you would like me to pass on to Mother if she is still there?"

Feeling frustrated, and realising he will not have to put up with this much longer, Yelnar says "We are to leave via the South Gate tomorrow morning, if you would like a message delivered, leave it in my room this evening, I still have other preparations to complete. Is Falo in?"

Yelnar stumbles a little and comes to a halt as the impact of his fathers words hit home. He looks up for a moment, clearly lost in thought, then he rolls his shoulders, cracks his neck, turns and nods to his father, before continuing on.

He looks for his brother Falo, also trapped within the wards. He goes to his room, but he is not there. He asks one of the servants, and she tells him he is out on business. Yelnar knows Falo tends to conduct business at the Thoughtful Squirrel, a tavern largely catering to those in the realm of business.

Yelnar makes his way there. His brother is indeed present, appearing to be in the middle of making a deal, talking to some potential customers about returns on investment, and rates of conversion. Not wanting to disrupt his brothers flow, Yelnar settles in to a booth in the back corner, orders a meal and a drink, and asks the waiter to pass a message on for his brother to meet him once his business is complete.

Yelnar is unsurprised at the amount of time his brother takes. "Yes, Falo, and the first place we’re going is the summer estates"

He looks into the top of mug of ale, barely touched, and says

"I always thought it was you guys I was training to protect, but it turns out I’ve been training for an entirely different task. The world is not without irony."

"None, though I would be surprised if Father didn't if one was possible." Yelnar thinks about it some more. "I suspect actually, that the simplest would be sending Mother herself, but I will need to check if that would be OK." He looks down at the ground for a while then says "O-of course, that is assuming she is OK...."

His spirits lifted by his brothers words, Yelnar has a slight sniffle, says "Thanks Falo" and offers his brother his hand to shake before heading back to the house and his room for a good nights sleep, having realised his activities have taken a fair while longer than he had thought or intended.
