It is not so much the early starts and the late nights or the hard work; after all he is a fit, young man. No, it the mind numbing boredom of the tasks. In fact before the end of the first day, he starts work on a couple of personal projects to alleviate the tedium. Firstly he starts constructing an embryonic intelligence gathering network. As he only has his stipend he can't afford to pay anyone. Instead he: make friends or at least acquaintances, decides who he can trust and who he can't and determines who he can use as the basis of a cell. Secondly he sets out to gather as much of the palace gossip as possible.On his days off he visits his family and has dinner. After the first day, he feels sorry for his companions who are far from home. So he invites them to dinner two at a time. [ooc]Guys let me know, who accepts and who declines.[/ooc][sblock=Dinner at the Rees']The Rees' live comfortable but are not wealthy. The meal itself is a fairly standard three course meal, with wine and a good brandy to finish.Over the course of the meal it is revealed that Mr Rees is a senior civil servant, Yevas' two brothers work for him and that the Rees family has served the kingdom forever. Unfortunately Yevas himself is the black sheep of the family and just isn't suitable for the family business. (Yevas mentions this with pride, whilst his father bristles) Any attempt to find out what exactly the Rees' do, is meet with a almost undetectable change of subject.[/sblock]</blockquote>
