Lady Susan pursed her lips. "A difficult matter. The son, Benedict, is clearly incompetent. It's almost as if he's insane. I don't see much choice there, but it will spell trouble later." Alistair nodded. "I do not wish to pry into your houses internal matters, but will your succession be smooth? His grace is not a young man." Lady Susan nodded. "My brother's eldest son predeceased him, one of several things that hastened his condition." The Duke simply looked confused as Lady Susan discussed him. "But he left behind two sons. My brother's eldest grandson has just been invested as a paladin. He's seventeen, but would be ready to assume his duties if he had to. His second grandson, Brendan, has not yet chosen much of anything. But he is only fourteen, and his primary talents so far are quite inappropriate." Alistair nodded, relieved. "I have a few other questions about Caligshire. What do you think about the earl's daughter?" Lady Susan responded directly, without waiting for the Duke to comment. "She's certainly more competent than Benedict. She's also close to Drucilla, of course." She frowned. "We also have had the opportunity to read a few letters that Cassandra has exchanged with Wade, the eldest son of the Lady Mayor of Canberry City. Based on the missives, they are courting. She is young, but not so that courtship is impossible, given her station. But Wade is only fourteen. I would not have thought that his mother would want him to think of such things for some more years. Still, it may just be the innocent interests of the heart. But then, he's rather far away, and a surprising object for a happenstance crush." "Thank you, Lady Susan. We'll look into that from here." said Kit. "If there are no other matters, my brother needs his rest." "Of course, Lady Susan. Thank you again for attending on us, your grace, Sheriff." After they left, Kit nodded. "Drucilla seems to fit our profile for a Noldar better and better. An albino renegade drow who just happens to set up in the same area that we know a Noldar is secretly active?" "I agree, especially with the Earl slipping quietly into the City without announcing his arrival. I just wish I understood the matter between Cassandra and Wade better. I guess we know what we need to investigate next." ---End of Session 4Ladybird will be taking over with the Storyhour duties for the next session, since I wasn't there and thus couldn't write up the Storyhour.  As a result, the last updated tag may not always be accurate, but I'll try to keep it up to date.</blockquote>
