If I had words to make a day for you,
I'd give you a morning, golden and true.
I would make this day last for all time,
Give you a night deep in moonshine.

He knew he'd been neglecting a few jobs around Jordheim and the Commune lately, but recently events had been dragging him away from his beloved home. The past week or so had been hectic- it seemed everything had just hit him all at once and he wasn't sure how to deal with it. It was also a ridiculous notion, because everything that had been coming up wasn't particularly significant. Hermes had injured his leg the other day because of his foolish behaviour around the new mare, Mai. As Saul understood it, the mare was far from the sweetness his stallion had been used to. Eirias had returned the day before yesterday, a tiny dead kitten in his talons. Saul had reprimanded the bird, but he was almost certain the gyrfalcon had ignored him.
With his life spiralling out of his control, at least for the moment, he hadn't been able to see anyone he'd wanted to. Every time he went to find Lilin, something else would crop up, or he'd been on border patrol. He'd picked up on the increase of Niernan's scent at the familiar circle and he was pleased that his cousin was helping to protect Vinátta. The young grey Stormbringer had returned to his house after a run towards the western edge of the lake. It hadn't escaped his notice that there was something going on over the other side of the lake.
Perched on a stool outside his front door, Saul balanced a rough bit of paper on his knee, a quill between his fingers. He was composing a letter to Eclipse, detailing all that had happened since he'd last seen her. He asked her how she was, whether she'd managed to find Liliana and if Grace had had her foal yet or not. He wondered where she'd settled and reinforced the idea that she was welcome in Vinátta any time she wanted. He was engrossed in his letter, trying not to puncture a whole through the paper and onto his leg. He'd have to locate Eirias soon and he sorely hoped the bird hadn't found any other unsuspecting feline babies to pick on.
