The Principality of Valorium. [IC]

[Glyphic]

A few viligers linger outside of Gerald's manor, talking in hushed voices to each other. As you make your approach, they look over with hopeful eyes. They pass a few religious baubles and charms your way, as they quietly murmur their thanks. They disperse, but make sure to note that no-one has entered or exited.

The manor house is just as you left it, dust gathering in odd nooks. Pas the foyer, and into the dining room where breakfast for one sits, and grows colder. In a side chair sits the Gem of Re-marr, Adaliade. She's wearing the same gown you last saw her in, woven of blue-hued textile, and a novella lays open in her lap. She presses her lips inro small, toothless smile, "Oh, hello there. I'm sorry to say, Gerald left, not long ago..." She closes the small booklet, and lifts her gaze to you, her movements gentle as a doe, "I've... I've a feeling he will be joining me soon."
