Funerary Rites 31: Orders

“I’m just saying, she knows more than she’s saying.”

Ezer was following Senga and Erramun around the house.

This might have been adorable in a normal case, but since Senga was trying to get a moment or seven alone with Erramun, it was growing a little frustrating.

“And I’m saying, of course she does.”  Senga checked the back door to the garden - the one in the Sturdy - and found it, too, locked.

Her cousins were fae.  They couldn’t enter a house without an invitation, any more than she could. But that wouldn’t stop them from sending an agent, or a team of them, if they thought it would work.

“What do you mean, of course she does?”

<raised eyebrow> Senga&co left the meeting with the staff without asking anything about the orders from various members of Senga's family that the staff have been following all this time? I suppose Senga might want to have that discussion with out her crew or kept present, but *really*, follow up on that!

Well, we did cut scene.
And she does have a lot on her mind right now ;-P

Well, we did cut scene.
Indeed. Not seeing what note that conversation ended on is a wee bit frustrating. :-P

And yes, securing the house against invading cousins or their armies is probably more important, but not much else is ...

I (extremely belatedly) agree with kelkyag on that cut-away. Leaving the staff without prior orders explicitly stated and rearranged per Senga's needs — and not her deceased aunt or anyone else — seems rather improper particularly on Erramun's part. Admittedly, Erramun is a bit distracted at the moment, which is probably part of why he's busy trying to bite Ezer's head off.

I suspect Erramun also wants some time alone with Senga. Ezer being in the way of that also likely had no small part in Erramun trying to bite his head off.

And I'm already disliking Ezer.

Hrrm, maybe in the rewrite/second draft I will add in a bit more there. To me, it seemed like the meeting with staff was dragging on for too long.
