Using of course a loose definition of casual, really, really loose definition. Four of the castle servants were carrying him on a raised, overstuffed with pillows palanquin. A fifth servant, a cute maid actually, was carrying a basket full of fruit and a sixth one behind the procession was waving a fan. Of course Fingers had put on one of his silk togas. Today it was the one with the green trimming.“Faster servants, Our Coronal, Lord Rylnethaz, would not want you to delay his Grand Steward from his detailed castle inspection. Give me some more fruit honey. And that watermelon looks delicious too. I'll have it next.”They were just passing in front of the chapel of Myrristra. Fingers had sold the heavy purple hangings for a large barrel of elven wine to a merchant from Overbridge. It was totally worth it. Plus, the chapel looked brighter now without those depressing hangings. Then it happened. A slight ripple in the air, a ripple that suddenly spread in the whole chapel. There in the middle of the chapel three familiar figures were standing looking at him, eyes dumbfounded. There they were, Clotbert, BoldItalic and staring directly at Fingers, Rylnethaz. They were all covered in mud, blood and dust.Clotbert was the first to talk, looking around, “My hangings, and my drapes too! Oh, I can talk again without having to sing, oh! But my hangings, where are they, and the drapes?”BoldItalic pointed at Fingers and asked, “What kind of parody is this?”The ‘Inspection troupe’ was frozen in place as Rylnethaz took a few steps closer.Fingers almost hiding behind a pillow waved his hand a little, “Err, hello Rylnethaz. Welcome? Aren’t you going to say anything? Happy to see your friend Fingers? I was just thoroughly inspecting the place for you.”Without any expression on his face Rylnethaz stood by the side of the palanquin. He looked at the two servants holding the handles on his side of the palanquin and said, “Both of you unhand the palanquin at once.”Of course the palanquin leaned sideways, dropping Fingers unceremoniously on the floor. Then Rylnethaz took one half of a watermelon from the fruit basket and shoved it on Fingers’ head. Watermelon juice was running all over Fingers. “I see you have decided to live it up a little. This is a gift then. This hat looks lovely on you and what is more, it matches the colour on the trimming of your toga too.”“But Rylnethaz I…”“Finish the rest of the inspection on foot please, we will be needing the servants. But no need for you to change outfit. I would not want to cause you any inconvenience, please continue your work. The whole tour please, you know how I value your high professional standards. Leave no room without a detailed inspection, in fact, have a look at the courtyard too while you are at it. The rest of you, help me and my companions to undress and prepare us a bath. We have debriefing and lunch in three hours. Enough fun and games, we have to plan ahead. You are a new maid aren't you? She is cute, good choice Fingers. All right cutie, you are coming with me.”Everyone started to do as instructed. BoldItalic stood for a while over Fingers shaking his head from left to right, rolling his eyes. Then everyone left, leaving Fingers still sitting on the floor, with a watermelon for hat.</blockquote>
