The men felt the change in the women when they came back from the day’s hunt. Geese and ducks and turns hung from staves carried between men. Cages with some live birds were in the back of a cart, the squawking and honking announcing the men’s approach for minutes before they were seen. The kitchen staff was ready with pots of boiling water as the haul was brought in.
Orgia directed where the fowl were to go and then firmly took Geralk by the hand to lead him away to a corner to have a talk with him. The kitchen staff left them alone, but kept an eye on them as Geralk’s face changed expression almost as fast as Orgia was talking.
A few words here and there between the women and men of the household is all it took for word to spread that Laun had decided that she may be ready to pair off, as much as she may protest the choosing. Some of the men looked directly at Edgar as the news came to them. A few had flashes of concern, some flashes of something else.
Laun herself asked that Fount and Edgar find her, and they did that as she was folding some of the linens that had been repaired. She asked that they follow her and the three of them started to walk through the keep.
