These days, things happen. The question is: how fast does gossip travel around Diamond Castle? And, honestly, does it count as gossip if the subject of said news is airing it loudly to the public as well? Because Adrien isn't wasting any time in letting people know that he's challenging up.

That's right. Ermenegilde Pascal Adrien Fitzgerald is challenging up to Seven. "About time I climbed up the ladder, don't you think?" he'll ask as Sitara giggles from behind him.

"I'm not certain it would make so much of a difference, but I do."

She'd not have said as much a year or so ago, but they've all changed greatly since then.

"I'd still challenge if you didn't, but I have a lighter heart now that you've said yes," he says extravagantly as Sitara wrinkles her nose."

She laughs a little, smiling at Sitara's nose wrinkle.

"I'm happy to give my blessing, in any case."

[denythyfather]

"Thank you, honestly. It should be interesting, to say the very least."

[thecutdiamond]

"I'm certain it will. What are you planning to do as a challenge?"

[denythyfather]

"Identification of collar and tie styles including year of origin and designer, maybe." He grins, obviously pleased with himself.
