[color=b8860b]"Rough night, my boy? Seems to be frightfully catching."[/color] He seemed to be in remarkably good spirits, despite his own lack of decent sleep and the fact that he received troubling news via his legal clerk just that morning. [color=b8860b]"I must confess a tactful lack of higher knowledge, concerning all of this dream business. As I understand, we've all had rather strange phenomena occur to us; that is to say, all of the persons in our dysfunctional little Fellowship. "Find me in Cairo", and whatnot..."[/color] Reginald closed the door behind them. [color=b8860b]"Tea and breakfast in a moment. I have two matters to share, if you would, Peter. The first - I don't suppose that your dream involved armies of inhuman beasts having at one another before your heart was removed rather spectacularly, was it?"[/color] He seemed a little excited speaking of it. Maybe more than a little. [color=b8860b]"But that's really more of a discussion for Vera. The second item at hand..."[/color] he thought very carefully about the news from his clerk. This was a local military matter, and Reginald's family or not, despite his own involvement in the situation, a line might be crossed were Peter to be directly involved in the process at this point. [color=b8860b]"Well, unless you are officially one of my officers, I have to pass it by legal forthwith, and then we may discuss at length. Suffice it to say, the issue related to last evening has wiggled a bit. It shall be handled in-house. Please pay it no appreciable notice until after I have cleared you for intelligence. God and His Majesty willing, that should be later this morning."[/color] The Lord Major picked his paperwork from the table nearby and marked a place with a slip of paper. He slid it back into the manila envelope and tucked it under his arm. [color=b8860b]"Ah, it's great to have you back, Peter!"[/color] he exclaimed. [color=b8860b]"Now, breakfast?"[/color]
