[RPG][FEI][GLOL] High spirits

[Steven Dougwillo]

/Ziode was walking out of the palace. Several oters were helping with 
his things, and he had a couple of bags of his own. Once they were on 
his horse for the move elsewhere in town, Ziode turned back to look at 
the palace and smiled. Gerard looked at him and laughed./

"Sir. Are you smiling?"

/Ziode turned away his attention, and let out a nervous laugh./

"I suppose I am."
"How come?"

/Ziode shook his head./

"Don't tell anyone, but I'm glad to be leaving that cursed place. It's a 
wonder anyone stays sane around here. The first thing I'm going to do is 
settle into my old place, and then find Dawn and Twilight rather than a 
pen. Maybe I'll find time to pester Scion too."

/Gerard grinned./

"You haven't changed a bit."
"My work is done for now. Let's hurry before we get stuck here any 
longer than I'd like."

/With spirits lifted Ziode quicly mounted his horse and rode away from 
the palace until he was needed there again. Whoever took the throne now 
would need a break too. Maybe he should show his successor a hidden exit 
or two./
