Of course you realize, there are more important things to be doing right now?

Looking away for just a moment risks coming back to my dear brother's Rooks rabble burning down a house, or shed, or Buckingham palace in it's entirety. I wouldn't be the least surprised.

It sounds as though you are the true leader of this "rabble".

[fairerfrye]

Not intentionally. They only need a little correcting from time to time, the rascals.

[ She's grown quite fond of them despite herself. Jacob's done a wonderful job whipping the gang into shape. ]

[leadrook]

Buckingham Palace? Really?

[ They would never... Well, he can't quite make that promise. ]

[fairerfrye]

Like you'd pass up the opportunity?

[leadrook]

Despite what you might think, I don't burn places down without reason.

[fairerfrye]

Not since you were a youngster, at any rate.

[leadrook]

How many times do I have to tell you those were accidents?

[ Things just have a habit of going awry when he's around for some reason. ]

[fairerfrye]

Frequently.

[ Not that Evie can really talk... she can take responsibility for at least half of their childhood mischief.]

Accidents have an unfortunate habit of following you around.

[leadrook]

It is a rather odd coincidence, isn't it?

[ He's just daring her to imply that he's somehow responsible. ]

[fairerfrye]

[ Who, her? Of course not! She's the sweetest sibling one could ask for. Just ignore the sly sidelong glance and eyebrow raise, that's all. ]

Do you suppose Mr. Dickens would want to investigate it? His Ghost Club would be most interested in odd coincidences.

Having a little trouble keeping the new recruits in line?

[fairerfrye]

They're a little overzealous, that's all. Better that than underperforming.

[dominus]

Hopefully not too overzealous. Leading such a group can feel a bit like herding cats. [ Wee initiates and their ways, man... ]

[fairerfrye]

They mean well. [ Or as well as a bunch of rowdy rebels and conquered gangs can be, anyway. ] One can leave them to their own devices and assume they'll behave themselves.

...ah, most of the time.

It seems your brother may need to study the second tenet of the creed somewhat harder.

[fairerfrye]

He has his strengths.







Subtlety isn't one of them.

[aquilus]

So I have been told. From the tales, he reminds me of the novices.
