It was a lovely Saturday morning. Breakfast of pancakes with apple butter and a splash of syrup was set before each place. The toddlers climbed up into their booster seats and were ready to go in hands first before their mother reminded them of the lessons with forks and spoons. They weren't quite ready to solo with knives, yet, so she cut the pancakes for them.
When Eregor joined them, Rhiannon had some news to share. "I've decided to withdraw my challenge for Dockside." Gory was cutting his pancakes as he looked at her with a curious expression. Before he could ask why, she filled in a blank or two. "There are more important things than dueling. So," an impish smile appeared and a twinkle lit her eyes, "when you add the math, get to five, and realize we'll need more chairs at the table in a couple years, you'll have the answer." It was a bit of a riddle like her faery kin might have made, not a lie, but not the whole truth.
