The offer's open, but I'm glad that you've managed to work something out for the time being.
They were what could be expected, I suppose. Temeraire's been telling me a little of what the future has in store, so there was little that was terribly surprising, save the death of an old friend and a particular promise I made him. I've had my rank restored, which I've known for some time, but it's surprisingly comforting remembering it properly myself.
