Gavin made his way down to the gardens. It was a beautiful day, perfect for all his plans. The next day would be just as nice, and that would be nice for a hunt. Smiling, he came to the table set out in the gardens. The smile slipped as he saw a note. Fearing that it was from Honore, he opened it.<br/><br/>"Father must be feeling better," he muttered. "He is requesting that the delegates meet with him privately during the day. The Loidites have the first honor, then he wishes to speak to the Comtesses. Lord Martinez is next, which is good. He won't miss the lunch with my sister. Baroness Masako will be after him and then he wants to talk to Diane."<br/><br/>Sitting at the table, he tapped the letter against his knee. He hoped his father wasn't pushing himself.
