Arrival

to everyone in Carelia
Sullenport's eye-catching skyline had drawn his attention since first it came into sight, but as he finally got back on land, Mardel could hardly believe how long it had taken to reach. Hour upon hour of tedious sailing with the fragrant aroma of yesterday's dinner for company. He, and particularly his stomach, were more than a little glad to be on firm ground.
Mardel [to his valet]: Huen, please find me a fresh set of clothes, and somewhere pleasant and quiet for me to stay. I really don't want to have to walk or ride - or sail - any further today, and I need some sleep.
Huen: Sir, you're in the busiest and most populated place for miles. Quiet is going to be hard to come by.
Mardel: Then you'll have to think harder, my dear man.
Huen: No, really, sir, there's nowhere in Sullenport that is quiet enough for your tastes.
Mardel: That's not thinking harder, that's thinking gently a second time. It's too busy in Sullenport, so...? Well?
Huen [with hesitation]: So... erm... so we leave Sullenport?
Mardel: Better!
Huen: But sir, you didn't want to travel further.
Mardel: No, I said I didn't want to walk further. Or ride further. Or sail further. Definitely definitely not sail further. I have no problems with sitting further.
Huen [with dawning realisation]: But how... oh... oh! Yes, sir.
Half an hour later, after acquiring a horse litter, Mardel is resting in it with his eyes closed as some of his troops and servants, under the guidance of Huen, carry him for the few hours it takes to reach Ambermel.
Mardel [upon arrival in Ambermel four hours later]: Ah, that's much better. A far more pleasing calm. I might just have a sit here for a while.
Lirth: Sir, a couple of letters for you.
Mardel [to his scribe]: Thank you. Give me a summary, good man.
Lirth: One from the Treasurer of the realm, sir, greeting you. I imagine the boat crew informed him of your arrival. And another from Count Trpimir Svebor offering an oath of fealty.
Mardel: My, that was quick. What else does he say?
Lirth: Nothing, sir. Just the paperwork. I tried to find out about him from hamlets we passed on our way here, sir, but found out little apart from the fact that he's recently offered an oath to someone else as well.
Mardel: Someone else? I feel less sought-after now. Was it an offer of fantastic wealth? Or extreme comfort and a quiet but highly fashionable residence?
Lirth: I really have no idea, sir, as I say there's no other information here - I wonder if it'll arrive by separate message. Though I imagine you would like the region itself - it appears relatively reserved.
Mardel: Then I shall consider the offer for a while and see whether I find any others forthcoming, or if this one becomes more appealing. Do notify me if there are any others, Lirth. Particularly if they offer fantastic wealth or extreme comfort. And especially if they offer both. For now, I intend to explore Ambermel a bit. Tomorrow. After breakfast.
