I accept the invitation with thanks, and go at once to select appropriate attire.

Danal's cooks have outdone themselves, and there are three couches set up to recline and dine. There are lanterns lit around the peristyle, and the couches are there, for though the autumn is cool, the lanterns warm the air.
"The Dominus and Caoimhghin await within," says Jax, guiding Anak-Sa'ir to them.

I rise to greet Anak Sa’ir. “Welcome friend, thank you for joining us. I suppose you’ve heard the news?”

"My quadding with Magister Judal" I say smiling. "I'm to be betrothed soon and the quad will be closed soon after."

"You're betrothed now. The newsreader proclaimed it."

(And Jax said the same thing. You're already betrothed. )

"Of course, how silly of me. I am betrothed and will soon be quadded." [botched my keeping up with the order of events roll]

Jax pours out more wine. "And, Dominus, you will need to meet with Atticus Teron Risemal, as well as arrange what slaves to keep and what to sell, for you will be moving by the end of the year into the Akar heir's villa."

"Yes, thank you for reminding me Jax, we will work out those details. I'll be interested in your opinion on those matters."

Turning back to Caoimhghin and Anak Sa'ir "Plus we all have reason to celebrate. My betrothal, your successes, especially in front of your master Anak Sa'ir, and it was time that you dined at my house. Although this won't be my house for much longer. Anak Sa'ir, did you know that one of my quad will be a relative of your master? One Atticus Teron Risemal."

"That will be a first, Dominus," Jax says, shaking his head. "I do not entirely despair of you behaving, though."

I smile, visibly impressed. "How delightful! Our bonds of friendship grow ever closer! This is wonderful news, and welcome!"
