It's a better day. Not an excellent day, but a better one than he's had in a while. The losses still weigh onon him, of course, and his recent breakup with Brennan, though mutually agreed upon and amicable, is in that pile of hurts, but overall, the King of Diamonds us feeling good as he walks through his Castle, checking in with his people.

Be at ease, fellow men and women. Vasiliy's desertion is an intriguing matter that will be thoroughly investigated, but it isn't a total disaster. There are other forgers, and even though they aren't as talented as the Seven, it could be far worse.

So come, chit-chat with the King - business matters or not. He's smiling and receptive.
